Chapter 200 – Episode 23. Private Beach? Private Bitch!
When I rang the bell next to the front door, two people who appeared to be guards came out. Of course, the two were shocked to see Akina Konoe. It was natural to be surprised that the girl who went missing on a trip a year ago and would become the next head of the Konoe family suddenly returned.
“Ah, lady!”
“Please call my mother. “Not my uncle, but my mother.”
“Oh, I understand!”
Seeing them both running somewhere in a hurry, Akina Konoe smiled brightly at me.
“Fortunately, these are people I know. “They will listen to me because they have been around since my father’s time.”
Certainly, if the security guard had not known Akina Konoe’s face, she would have been in a scuffle for a long time. Of course, if a woman who doesn’t even know her face comes and says I’m the daughter of this family, there won’t be many people who will let me in. That was fortunate, as Akina Konoe said.
“But how are you going to find evidence that Cynosin did that?”
Given the circumstances, it was clear that Cynosin did it, but even if Cynosin was dealt with, there had to be evidence first. Only then can you legitimately return to the head of the family.
“I asked a few people for help, but I’m not sure.”
“Then, may I recommend two people who can help me?”
“It would be great if you could recommend it.”
I recommended two people who were capable of investigating the kidnapping of Akina Konoe and the sudden death of Kiyoto Konoe, her father. He immediately recommended Haruto Wano, whom I met on Chooten Island, and Shinya Sawayanagi of Seryu Military Company.
The combination of Haruto Wano’s impressive detective ability and military power, along with Shinya Sawayanagi’s net diver ability, will be enough to uncover the truth. Since Shinya Sawayanagi has the persistent investigative ability to find Black Tech’s secret laboratory, Haruto Wano can make a deduction using the information Shinya Sawayanagi found.
After giving Akina Konoe the contact information of the people I recommended to examine the evidence, I stayed for a while when I heard a crunching noise and a woman resembling Akina Konoe, wearing a kimono, hurriedly running with the guards.
“Ah… Ah, Akina!!!”
“Mother!”
The mother and daughter hugged each other tightly, shedding tears. In particular, Konoe Akina’s mother, Konoe Minako (近衛 未菜子), cried loudly, almost like wailing.
My nose is getting watery for no reason. I swept under my nose with my index finger and waited for the moment of mother-daughter reunion.
“What happened, where have you been all this time?”
As if she had calmed down, I asked what Akina Konoe had been through when Minako Konoe went missing. Akina Konoe went from being kidnapped to being rescued by me during her summer vacation last year. Only then did Minako Konoe look at me.
“Ah, you saved our Akina. Thank you, Eunkong! I really thought I should give up now… Ugh…”
She told Minako Konoe, who repeatedly greeted her with tears in her eyes, that she was just doing what she was supposed to do. Well, from a parent’s perspective, I would be more thankful than any other benefactor. Because he was the one who rescued his missing daughter.
“Hmm! “What is this fuss about?”
As I was in the middle of receiving a thank you from Minako Konoe, a middle-aged man wearing a heavy men’s kimono approached me from inside her residence and asked a question in a loud voice. He seemed to be a person who liked to show off a lot by bringing along several people.
Even though it was summer, the outerwear worn by the middle-aged man had the peony pattern, the emblem of the Konoe family, embroidered on both sides of the chest. I was dressed as if I was claiming that I was the representative of the Konoe family.
Seeing that her eyes slightly resemble Akina Konoe, I guess this person is Sainoshin Konoe, the current temporary head of the Konoe family.
“Oh, no! “Isn’t it Akina?”
Konoe Sainoshin had a distorted expression for about 0.5 seconds, but then quickly changed to a happy expression. As his expression changed in an instant, it seemed clear that he was involved in the kidnapping of Akina Konoe, just as we expected.
“Yes, uncle. How you doing?”
Akina Konoe feigned her composure and greeted Konoe Sainoshin with a grin. She looked as if she had gone on a light trip somewhere and was greeting me. Konoe Sainoshin, who was greeted awkwardly, soon looked at me and the bodyguards and asked Akina Konoe.
“Who are these?”
“Ah, this is the person who saved me and these three are my bodyguards.”
When Akina Konoe introduced us, I took a step forward and bowed slightly to greet Konoe Sainoshin.
“Hello, temporary head of Konoe. “My name is Ryuta Taira.”
“Tyra?!”
As expected, people are shocked when they hear my last name. After all, no matter how prestigious the Konoe family was, they could not ignore the name Taira.
“Akina. Uh, can you explain what’s going on?”
“I was kidnapped and trapped, and Ryuta-sama saved me.”
“Ah… ! Thank you. “You don’t know how worried I was when my Akina went missing.”
After hearing Akina Konoe’s explanation, Sainoshin Konoe held my hand and said hello. The distorted expression you saw earlier didn’t look like you were worried at all… I smiled and answered without making any sense.
“What. I think I made a new friend. “My grandfather was very happy when he told me that I had made a friend.”
“Excuse me, what’s your grandfather’s name?”
“Oh, I thought you knew, I’m sorry. “My grandfather’s name is Taira Danzo.”
“!”
Konoe Sainoshin stiffened for a moment after hearing the name of Taira Danzo, a Japanese double-horse along with Ushin Minamoto. Since it was a name I had never heard of, I would have thought it was a subsidiary.
“I took Akina to her house, so I guess I’ll have to go now. Mr. Akina, I’ll see you sometime next week.”
“Yes, Ryuta. “Of course!”
If this is the case, Konoe Sainoshin will not be able to harm Akina Konoe carelessly. Konoe Akina and Konoe Minako came up to me and said goodbye. In particular, Minako Konoe repeatedly greeted me and said she would continue to repay me. I understand that you are grateful, but Akina Konoe will be the one to repay you.
“Goodbye…”
“I’ll contact you, Ryuta!”
“Thank you, Eunkong!”
I left Akina Konoe as my bodyguard and left with three people seeing me off. I’ve done everything I could, so now everything else is up to Akina Konoe. I went to the parking lot and got into the car.

After returning to the Human Resources Development Center, I took a shower and went to the president’s office to meet Yukiko. Before meeting Yukiko, I greeted Yukiko’s secretary, Koyuki Ikehara, at the secretary’s office that I had to pass through to get to the president’s office, and gave her a gift that I roughly bought at Haneda Airport.
“It’s Tokyo Banana?”
“I’m sorry, something came up suddenly so I couldn’t prepare a special gift after returning home.”
“No, I like Tokyo bananas. Would you like to see the director?”
“Yes.”
Koyuki Ikehara, who happily received the Tokyo Banana as if she really liked it, opened the door to the president’s office. Yukiko seemed very busy, typing quickly at her computer in front of her.
“Mother.”
Since the door was still closing, she said she was Yukiko as usual, but Koyuki Ikehara could hear her, so she just said “Mother.”
“Oh, are you here?”
Yukino raised her head and looked at me. It seemed like he was very busy, as his hands were typing non-stop.
She must be very busy, as she is pulling work behind her to make time for my trip.
As Yukiko typed, she looked at my face and every part of my body.
“It certainly looks like there are no injuries. “You were very worried.”
“I told you. “I was in Pyongyang at that time.”
The first person to contact me when I heard the news that a building collapsed in Seoul was Yukiko. She was very worried and asked if she was hurt, so she lied and said she was in Pyongyang. She wasn’t lying 100 percent because she was on a train to Pyongyang at the time.
“Are you busy?”
“Yeah, I think I’ll be busy until tomorrow. Because of the trip the day after tomorrow, I have a lot of things to do…”
It was definitely as I expected.
Yukiko stopped her typing and took a moment to take a sip of her Ah next to her.
“If you’re busy, can I help you prepare for the trip?”
“I said I would prepare for this trip. You just come and rest comfortably…”
Resting? Next, of course, it will be about sex. Maybe it’s because it’s been a while, but her face is very red.
“Rest?”
“Oh, I don’t know… Come here and recharge ♥”
He approaches Yukiko, who closes her eyes and pouts her lips cutely, as if entranced, and kisses her. How can it be so cute? I was worried who would take her in because she looked so cute and acted that no one would ever think she was a widow. Of course, I am the one living with him.
We bird-kissed for a moment and only kissed lightly with our tongues. They looked so busy that if they continued, it was clear that it would lead to sex, and they didn’t know when their secretary, Koyuki Ikehara, would come barging in, so they stopped midway.
A sticky silver line stretched between our lips and then broke, and Yukiko… ! She gave a wistful look as she did so.
“I want to add more, but Yukiko is busy and she has to stop by the Edogawa main house and wash the car, so I’ll do the rest while traveling.”
“Yes. “Do you need to save up Ryuta too?”
Now, she was Yukiko, who could say some pretty bold things about saving.
“Even if I don’t save it, I have plenty, right?”
“Ho ho ho! Okay. Bye.”
“Don’t push yourself too hard.”
I left the president’s office. I could hear the keyboard crackling until I closed the door, but when I closed the door, there was no sound. The soundproofing is surprisingly good, isn’t it?
When I left the president’s office and went to the secretary’s office to leave, I saw Koyuki Ikehara eating a Tokyo banana. It looks like he really likes it. Thank god.
