Katsuto had sometimes thought what on earth they even did behind
the scenes, but even so, that they were showing a clear confrontational
attitude that disrupts the clan meeting was as far he knew. Though, he
could not say it to Mayumi, it was the Saegusa who substantially
brought up the seeds of conflict.
Thinking that "What on earth had happened?" was probably reflected
on his face.
"I don’t know the details either, but…"
Mayumi with a bitter feeling reluctantly opened her mouth.
"To a certain section of the Defense Military Intelligence under the
patronage of the Yotsuba, that sly fox father seemed to have secretly
meddled in. And that was discovered…"
"…I see."
Then, the Yotsuba's firm attitude made perfect sense. To Mayumi, who
had a face likely to begin grinding her teeth at any moment, Katsuto
could only reply so.
A not too short period of time had elapsed and Mayumi, who finally
regained a calm expression, turned again toward Katsuto.
"So, what do you think? Would the Juumonji House collaborate with
the Saegusa House?"
To Mayumi who asked once again, Katsuto nodded immediately.
"I will cooperate."
"Although it is the usual thing… it is a really pretty straightforward
answer."
To Katsuto's reply, with also no trace of doubt, Mayumi bustled with a
shocked voice.
"I have said it before. Since I heard the story, even for the Juumonji
House, it is not a situation which can be ignored."
Of course, he would not be Katsuto if he was shaken by that
