Chapter 238: The Name of the Rose’s Sword
<span>Two updates + one additional chapter…<span>Thanks mukat & Smallcadkm for the support…<span>「Oh, my~ it’s amazing. Hey, President Chihiro~. This is CG, right~?<span>」<span>「Yes, yes, of course, CG, CG! Hurry up, let’s get out of here!<span>」<span> I grabbed Aoi-san’s hand, who was distractedly pping her hands, and dashed for the door.<span>(Lili had said there was a possibility of devil appearing, but I never thought they would actually show up<span>)<span> Today I’m Aoi Umidori’s escort.<span> Under Lili’s orders, I was secretly waiting in the studio in case of emergencies, but I didn’t expect anything so serious toe out.<span>(If this is the case, I should have brought Loli with me<span>)<span> Lili has told me that Loli is very strong. So strong that many devils are afraid of her.But she had a swimsuit shoot today as a “<ruby style="ruby-align: center;">J<rp>(</rp><rt style="font-size: 7pt;yout-grid-mode: line;">J</rt><rp>)</rp></ruby><span><ruby style="ruby-align: center;">u<rp>(</rp><rt style="font-size: 7pt;yout-grid-mode: line;">u</rt><rp>)</rp></ruby><span><ruby style="ruby-align: center;">n<rp>(</rp><rt style="font-size: 7pt;yout-grid-mode: line;">n</rt><rp>)</rp></ruby><span><ruby style="ruby-align: center;">i<rp>(</rp><rt style="font-size: 7pt;yout-grid-mode: line;">i</rt><rp>)</rp></ruby><span><ruby style="ruby-align: center;">o<rp>(</rp><rt style="font-size: 7pt;yout-grid-mode: line;">o</rt><rp>)</rp></ruby><span><ruby style="ruby-align: center;">r<rp>(</rp><rt style="font-size: 7pt;yout-grid-mode: line;">r</rt><rp>)</rp></ruby><span><ruby style="ruby-align: center;">–<rp>(</rp><rt style="font-size: 7pt;yout-grid-mode: line;">–</rt><rp>)</rp></ruby><span><ruby style="ruby-align: center;">I<rp>(</rp><rt style="font-size: 7pt;yout-grid-mode: line;">I</rt><rp>)</rp></ruby><span><ruby style="ruby-align: center;">d<rp>(</rp><rt style="font-size: 7pt;yout-grid-mode: line;">d</rt><rp>)</rp></ruby><span><ruby style="ruby-align: center;">o<rp>(</rp><rt style="font-size: 7pt;yout-grid-mode: line;">o</rt><rp>)</rp></ruby><span><ruby style="ruby-align: center;">l<rp>(</rp><rt style="font-size: 7pt;yout-grid-mode: line;">l</rt><rp>)</rp></ruby><span>“.Apparently, she looked like a teenager at thirty-one. She’s the same age as <ruby style="ruby-align: center;">Ba<rp>(</rp><rt style="font-size: 7pt;yout-grid-mode: line;">バ</rt><rp>)</rp></ruby><span><ruby style="ruby-align: center;">*<rp>(</rp><rt style="font-size: 7pt;yout-grid-mode: line;">〇</rt><rp>)</rp></ruby><span><ruby style="ruby-align: center;">bonpapa<rp>(</rp><rt style="font-size: 7pt;yout-grid-mode: line;">ボンパパ</rt><rp>)</rp></ruby><span>, but she’s wearing an old school swimsuit with abel that says “Lolisa” on it, and she’s most likely spreading her legs wide.<span> Despite the fact that she only debuted a few days ago, she’s surprisingly popr, and we’re getting a lot of requests. It has even begun to gain loyal fans.<span> I feel that it’s the end of the world, but as a business owner, I can’t help but think that now is the time to sell.<span> Regardless of what happened to Loli… Despite my impatience, this natural-born <ruby style="ruby-align: center;">actress<rp>(</rp><rt style="font-size: 7pt;yout-grid-mode: line;">Aoi Umidori</rt><rp>)</rp></ruby><span> says something casually.<span>「Umm, Is the shooting over yet, President Chihiro? If you don’t mind, there’s a good Anmitsu (Sweet azuki bean paste) store nearby, why don’t we go check it out?<span>」<span>「Yes, yes! You can stop at any sweet shop or <ruby style="ruby-align: center;">Isuka<rp>(</rp><rt style="font-size: 7pt;yout-grid-mode: line;">イスカ</rt><rp>)</rp></ruby><span><ruby style="ruby-align: center;">*<rp>(</rp><rt style="font-size: 7pt;yout-grid-mode: line;">〇</rt><rp>)</rp></ruby><span><ruby style="ruby-align: center;">daru<rp>(</rp><rt style="font-size: 7pt;yout-grid-mode: line;">ダル</rt><rp>)</rp></ruby><span> or anywhere! At any rate, can we run now!?<span>」<span> I pulled her hand with all my might while I was getting a bit pissed.
<span>
<span><span> ◇ ◇ ◇<span>「I didn’t expect them to attack…<span>」<span> The crew and performers run away screaming, and I gently lower my eyes to the hellish scene that has unfolded downstairs.<span> I’m not a fan of gore or stter, and I feel pity for the victims, but there’s no need for me to feel responsible.<span> I knew there was a good chance that this would happen, but I was sure that people would think I was crazy for saying so.<span> One of the reasons why I didn’t put back the sign in the dressing room was the existence of Teruya-senpai.<span> Personally, I don’t dislike her.<span> From the point of view of a junior member of the track and field club, she was a good person to look after, and above all, she was faithful to her desires and easy to understand.<span> Her obsession with Junichi Kasuya, the most prominent of her desires, is well known to anyone in the track and field club.<span> What will happen if she sees him in trouble?<span> Of course, she’d jump in without a second thought. It doesn’t matter if it’s a live broadcast or not. She’s sure to jump in, more so than if a catnip is ced in front of her.<span> Then there’s the fact that if Kasuya gets into trouble, Teruya-senpai’s <ruby style="ruby-align: center;">sister<rp>(</rp><rt style="font-size: 7pt;yout-grid-mode: line;">Ane</rt><rp>)</rp></ruby><span> will intervene as well.<span> I’ve already done my research on the Confinement King’s enemies, and the ones who might be them.<span> And these women are at the top of that list.<span> Two sisters who have supported each other since the loss of their parents. Perhaps that’s why <ruby style="ruby-align: center;">she<rp>(</rp><rt style="font-size: 7pt;yout-grid-mode: line;">Ane</rt><rp>)</rp></ruby><span> loves her <ruby style="ruby-align: center;">sister<rp>(</rp><rt style="font-size: 7pt;yout-grid-mode: line;">Imouto</rt><rp>)</rp></ruby><span> so much.<span> There was no way she could turn a blind eye to her <ruby style="ruby-align: center;">sister’s<rp>(</rp><rt style="font-size: 7pt;yout-grid-mode: line;">Imouto</rt><rp>)</rp></ruby><span> danger.<span> Well, I didn’t expect something so dangerous toe out.<span> But thispletely removes all doubt about Fumio Kijima.<span> The devil appears and kills and injures people in front of the camera. On top of that, he acted as if he was protecting Junichi Kasuya and Teruya-senpai, and the video was broadcasted on the nationalwork.<span> There was no excuse now.<span> udia’s mention of the devil just before the incident is also a good sign.With this, Detective JK’s fame went up. They will probably be celebrated as heroes.<span> After that, all that is left is to bring in Detective JK with the whole prop.<span>(Well then… I guess I’d better evacuate too<span>)<span> At about the same time I twisted my mouth, the monitors in the studio turned into a sandstorm one after another. It was probably Lili’s work. Perhaps, the image of a ship floating on the calm surface of the water was being shown to the audience.<span> If this happens, it’s not my ce anymore.<span> After all, it’s just the devils fighting each other.

<span><span> ◇ ◇ ◇<span>「Y-you two, let’s get out of here!<span>」<span> Ponpoko-san grabbed my cuffs while crying hard.<span> My <ruby style="ruby-align: center;">sister<rp>(</rp><rt style="font-size: 7pt;yout-grid-mode: line;">Onee-chan</rt><rp>)</rp></ruby><span> saw her and spoke.<span>「udia, you go with her<span>」<span> She steps forward to protect us with her back facing us.<span>「How’s Onee-chan?<span>」<span>「I’ll catch up with you. I’ll hold him off<span>」<span> With that, she looks at the devil standing on the bloody set.<span>(Geez… What the hell is this?<span>)<span> To be honest, I was confused.<span> I was supposed to frame Fumio, but apletely different person came out.<span> And just when I thought Hikaru had broken in, a real devil broke in and ughtered the guards in an instant.<span>「udia-san! Let’s get out of here!<span>」<span> Ponpoko-san pulled me by the hand and I shouted.<span>「Onee-chan!<span>」<span>「Don’t worry. I’ll be right behind you!<span>」<span> Almost at the same time as she was preparing herself, a woman suddenly appeared behind her.<span>「Please step aside. I’m sorry, but if you can’t even beat my maid, you’re no match for the butler. You’ve only got a few seconds left<span>」<span>「What!?<span>」<span> My <ruby style="ruby-align: center;">sister<rp>(</rp><rt style="font-size: 7pt;yout-grid-mode: line;">Onee-chan</rt><rp>)</rp></ruby><span> jumped in panic.<span> Standing there was a tall, slender foreigner.<span> If I may say so, she was clearly not Japanese, but a silver-haired woman in a British-style maid’s uniform.<span> As if she didn’t care about my sister, she walked towards the set and confronted the devil.<span>「It’s been a while. Are you feeling all right?<span>」<span>「Well, well, maid-dono, for you to take on me instead of a fallen angel… you must be a real jerk<span>」<span> The skull of a goat showing no expression. Its hollow orbits stared at the maid.<span>「Don’t worry about it. The other day, I was rudely and unexpectedly surprised and dyed, but today, I havee properly prepared<span>」<span> With that, she thrust her hands into the air, and out of nowhere, pulled out a sword in each hand.<span> Two swords with dragon shapes painted on the swords’ handles, with blue tassels swaying on the hilts.<span>「Hoo~… this is interesting. It seems to be quite a work of art…<span>」<span>「Yes, I borrowed this while I was still a concubine of the Eastern Jin Dynasty’s Administration <ruby style="ruby-align: center;">Wang<rp>(</rp><rt style="font-size: 7pt;yout-grid-mode: line;">Odo</rt><rp>)</rp></ruby><span> Dao<ruby style="ruby-align: center;">–<rp>(</rp><rt style="font-size: 7pt;yout-grid-mode: line;">–</rt><rp>)</rp></ruby><span><ruby style="ruby-align: center;">sama<rp>(</rp><rt style="font-size: 7pt;yout-grid-mode: line;">sama</rt><rp>)</rp></ruby><span>… Cough, and it was given to me as a gift. It’s a treasured sword forged by <ruby style="ruby-align: center;">Kanshou<rp>(</rp><rt style="font-size: 7pt;yout-grid-mode: line;">Gan Jiang</rt><rp>)</rp></ruby><span> and <ruby style="ruby-align: center;">Bakuya<rp>(</rp><rt style="font-size: 7pt;yout-grid-mode: line;">Mo Ye</rt><rp>)</rp></ruby><span>」<span><span>「Oh…<span>」<span>「Originally, there were two pairs of swords, one pairs of male and one pairs of female, and <ruby style="ruby-align: center;">Lord<rp>(</rp><rt style="font-size: 7pt;yout-grid-mode: line;">Odo</rt><rp>)</rp></ruby><span><ruby style="ruby-align: center;">Wang<rp>(</rp><rt style="font-size: 7pt;yout-grid-mode: line;">–</rt><rp>)</rp></ruby><span><ruby style="ruby-align: center;">Dao<rp>(</rp><rt style="font-size: 7pt;yout-grid-mode: line;">sama</rt><rp>)</rp></ruby><span> owned two pairs of them. But only the female sword was broken in battle, and the two male swords remained. That’s what I call them–<span>」<span> Then, the maid crossed her swords and shouted loudly.<span>「A ssic BL sword, where husbands who have lost their wives fall in love with each other! It’s called as the Sword of the Rose Tribe for short!<span>」<span>「…I see<span>」<span>(I see… that’s not it! Hey, Goat-head! Why are you sounding so impressed! And don’t look so smug, maid!<span>)<span> I forgot to run away andined in my heart.<span> Apparently, there’s a big difference in perception between devils and humans.<span> …..But then I saw my <ruby style="ruby-align: center;">sister<rp>(</rp><rt style="font-size: 7pt;yout-grid-mode: line;">Onee-chan</rt><rp>)</rp></ruby><span> staring at the sword with an envious look on her face.I forgot… she’s rotten (Fujoshi?)
