Chapter 509 – Episode 55. Post-War Processing and Purges.
Terue Daigo and I landed at the helicopter landing pad and headed straight to the Daigo family residence. As I passed through the fairly large front door, there was a man in his early 50s and a trembling old man standing there.
“Grandpa, father, how have you been?”
Daigo Terue greeted a middle-aged man and an old man. Seeing that Daigo Terue is said to be his father, the middle-aged man seems to be Tadanori Daigo, currently the head of the Tadanori faction, which is the best faction in name and reality, and the grandfather is Terue Daigo’s grandfather and the current Daigo, as rumored. It seemed to be Daigo Shungoro, the head of the family.
It’s okay considering you’re doing it tomorrow, right? It’s a little shaky, though. Was it just a rumor?
“Hello? My name is Ryuta Yamashiro.”
I couldn’t stand still like a sack of barley, so I said my name and said hello. The head of the Daigo family and the next head of the family are quite famous in Japan, so I think it will be quite a problem if it becomes known that I am Taira in the future. I was a little worried, but I couldn’t help it because I was more scared of Taira Danzo than the two in front of me.
“Is this man the homeroom teacher who saved Erica?”
“Yes, father.”
After confirming my identity with Daigo Terue, Daigo Tadanori approached me, grabbed my hand, and bowed his head.
“Thank you! Thanks to you, Erika was safe and, crucially, our family was able to avoid being ripped off by the Minamoto guys.”
When I received Daigo Tadanori’s greeting, I thought it was too much of a greeting. Oofuchi, was saving Erika such a big deal? She’s just a goddaughter? Even as I was puzzled, the head of the Daigo clan, Daigo Shungoro, came trembling and greeted me as expected.
Hehe… Thank you, young friend. Did you say Yamashiro? “If you are Yamashiro, you can say he is not a stranger to us.”
The Daigo family is a branch of the Ichijo family. The Yamashiro family, like the Daigo family, was a branch of the Ichijo family, so as Daigo Shungoro said, it is not a remnant at all. Of course, the problem is that I’m not really Ryuta Yamashiro. Well, it would be nice if this could benefit the Yamashiro family. I thought that was the price of having an accident while I was a teacher.
“Well, it’s getting chilly, so don’t stay here. Let’s go in first.”
This is why it was a bit annoying to be a famous family. All I had to do was look at the warehouse, which was my original goal, and then go back, but since I was running out of time after having a cup of tea, I would have to have dinner before I could begin my original goal.
Of course, my etiquette was standard and flawless no matter who saw it. This is what I learned from Yukiko when I lived at the Human Resources Development Center. She heard that since Yukiko was not from a famous family, she married Saburo Taira, and she had a hard time.
That is why I have been providing etiquette training since I joined the Human Resources Development Center. At the time, I was a beautiful stepmother and I wanted to impress my boss, so I worked hard to get an education. And after about a month, I had mastered the etiquette enough to be evaluated as excellent.
“Take a seat.”
As Daigo Tadanori said, I sat down, and the maids served me tea and Japanese sweets. Everyone drank tea and talked, but not even the letter ㅂ for compensation was mentioned.
As if it were taboo to talk about frivolous money in such a friendly place, they painted each other’s faces with gold and praised each other’s families and activities. What followed naturally was a meal, where a lot of gorgeous Kyoto food was served.
As if I had heard about it from Daigo Terue in advance, there was a meal set in front of me that looked like it could be served for three people. It looks delicious.
“You are truly blessed to eat.”
“My body is a bit big. “If I don’t eat this much, I won’t be able to maintain it.”
“You certainly look in very good shape. Did you practice martial arts? Was it possible to save our Erica by training in martial arts?”
Also, ‘our’ Erica. You really speak as if you were speaking to your own granddaughter. I was confused by Daigo Tadanori’s words, but since we were talking and didn’t have much time to think about anything else, I nodded.
“Yes, I trained in Goryu martial arts.”
“I guess the Yamashiro family also had excellent martial arts skills.”
Daigo Tadanori spoke to me as if he was talking to himself. They naturally made subtly dismissive comments about the Yamashiro family because they thought they were from Kyoto. Of course, I’m not really ignoring it because I’m a benefactor, but it may have come out without me even realizing it. I didn’t feel bad because I wasn’t the real Yamashiro.
“It was not my family’s martial art, but I learned it by inviting an excellent boxer. Even though it’s not Yamashiro’s martial art, I’m glad I learned it and was able to save Oofuchi.”
I also secretly told you that Yamashiro, the person you ignore, saved your favorite Oofuchi Erika.
“Hmm… I was rude. I apologize.”
Seeing that he apologized honestly, he wasn’t a bad person. I nodded silently and started eating again.
Daigo Shungoro was just watching me eating with a happy expression despite the conversation we just had. It’s not like I’m watching a mukbang. No matter how blessed I am with my eating, it was a great inspiration to have a side dish of my own eating. As expected, when I looked at Taira Danzo and here at Daigo Shungoro, it seemed like none of the old people in the famous family were in good shape.
When the meal was over, Daigo Tadanori finally spoke about the reward.
“There is a pretty nice exhibition hall in the back of my house. Take a look there and get what you want. Terue will guide you.”
If you ask them to take it from the warehouse, they just say it’s an exhibition hall. Certainly, if the treasures that the Daigo family has collected since ancient times were put on display, it would be as good as any other museum, so it would not be wrong to call it an exhibition hall.
“It was a little frustrating, right? “I’m sorry.”
Once they were alone, Daigo Terue apologized. I didn’t really care. I was just curious about what items were sleeping in the Daigo family’s warehouse.
“Are you okay. All famous brands are like that.”
I answered roughly and followed Daigo Terue’s instructions to the building in the back garden. The exterior of the building was a Japanese-style tiled house, but the door was a state-of-the-art fingerprint recognition iron door. Of course, security is the most important thing in a treasure trove like this.
Daigo Terue used fingerprint recognition and iris recognition. It seems quite tricky to do both. Can the Phantom Thief François steal it? I thought about it, but since the Phantom Thief François, that is, Aris and Fitzgerald, is a world-famous thief, I thought there must be a way.
“Please come in.”
When the door opened, and I followed Terue Daigo in, there were a lot of things like books and swords on display in glass pavilions, just like a museum. Buddhist paintings, landscapes, and portraits were hung on the walls, and several samurai armors were also on display.
I concentrated my mind and took items one by one until the item information window appeared. Suddenly, I saw the most gorgeous-looking armor set.
◆Japanese samurai armor [Narrative equipment/work of art]: Armor sent as a gift to the Daigo family during the Kamakura period. It is a work of art for display, not for actual use.
Excellent defense
Dexterity -2 when equipped
Increased family reputation during wartime
As expected, it wasn’t equipment, but a display item. It had the demerit of lowering agility when equipped, so it was an item with the intention not to equip it. Most of the items in the Daigo family’s warehouse were not equipment, but exhibits or items of academic and historical significance.
Even so, there were no useful things at all, but there were three in total that I chose as candidates.
◆Landscape painting depicting a family of monkeys [The only technical document/work of art]: Author unknown. It’s a scroll depicting a family of monkeys in a valley, but there’s a special blunt technique hidden in the picture that a good ninja can learn.
A ninja with blunt martial arts talent can acquire blunt martial arts [Heavenly Dungeon Sword] And [Illusion Art – Unexpected Body].
The attractiveness of the building increases when on display.
◆Nagasode Kotetsu (長曽祢虎徹) [Unique sword]: An authentic katana from the Edo period swordsmith Nagasote Kotetsu. A lord saved it and gave it as a gift to the Daigo family, to which his child’s teacher belonged. It is said that he uses unusual materials to make it unbreakable.
Indestructible.
◆Golden decorative bracelet [Unique + Accessories/Artwork]: An item from an unknown era. One theory is that this bracelet was found when a fallen meteorite was split open. There are five jewels embedded in it.
When worn by a star magic holder, the power of star magic increases by 30%.
Star magic practitioners can store one spell per gem.
These were all very good items. The first monkey scroll was a skill book item that could not be used once and thrown away, but could be continuously taught to a ninja with blunt martial arts skills, and Nagasode Kotetsu was a rare indestructible item. Although it had no other functions, I liked the indestructible item because it was very useful.
The last thing I found was a golden decorative bracelet, and as it says in the item description window, it was the perfect item for Han Yu-kyung to wear. In addition to increasing the power of Han Yu-kyung’s main use of star magic, there is an option to store up to five magic spells… Magic requires a hand-sign with a spell, but if you can store spells, it will be very useful because you can take them out right away when you need them.
It would be a shame to only have one of these three. I strategically decided to throw away the sword made by the famous swordsmith Kotetsu Nagasode and pretended to think about it.
“What are you worrying about?”
“I’m trying to decide between the monkey scroll over there and this golden bracelet.”
They were both of them, and the family probably didn’t think they had much value, but since they were in a corner where various items were gathered, I thought I could get two if I did well. The Nagasode Kotetsu was a historically valuable relic because it was made by a famous potter, while these two items were of unknown origin, so their value was relatively low. Of course, as someone who plays games in front of a monitor, I prefer options rather than historical value.
“If these two things… “I can just give you everything.”
“Oh really? Then I’m so sorry…”
“Of course, one will be a gift from my family, and the other will be based on how well Mr. Yamashiro serves me tonight.”
Also… When I said, “I can give you everything,” His eyes lit up magically, and he seemed to be using the gift as bait to covet my body. Of course, I was confident. If I could get a unique item through sex service, I would do it again and again, so I smiled and nodded.
