Chapter 548
We go down to the first floor from the elevator. It's already dark outside. The lobby of the luxury hotel is beautifully lighted up. There are a lot of guests. 「 What? 」 「 Wow! So beautiful 」 「 Are they models? 」 Misuzu and Ruriko who's dressed up made people around the lobby raise their voice. That's how elegant and gorgeous the two are. Furthermore, in our front and back have two female guards from Kouzuki security service escorting us. We will naturally stand out. 「 Kuromori-sama 」 Misuzu links arms with me. 「 Ruriko 」 「 Yes, Onee-sama 」 She holds hand with Ruriko. 「 This way 」 Michi leads to the main building from the annex. Ruriko, Misuzu, and I line up side by side. The ladies of Kouzuki security service are protecting our front and back feeling tense. Coming from the modern newly-built annex, we head to the main building where the traditional, solemn atmosphere drifts. Oh, the guests in this lobby are a bit different. They're all calm, and they wear clothes that look expensive. There's a lot of women in j.a.panese clothes too. The guests coming to the party are already gathering. There's a lot of women dressed up. 「 Look at that 」 Some people point at us. They're holding cameras, media, I guess. 「 They're Kouzuki house's ladies, right? 」 「 Isn't that the daughter of the recently dead Kouzuki s.h.i.+geaki 」 Try to whisper when talking. There's no need for you to speak so loudly, trying to make Ruriko hear it. 「 Dannsama, smile 」 Misuzu whispers to my ear. Looking at them, Misuzu and Ruriko are both smiling. 「 Please control your emotions, if we show displeasure then it's our loss 」 Misuzu whispers and she grips my arm tighter. She's pressing her b.r.e.a.s.t.s on my arm. 「 Who's that guy linking arms with her? 」 「 Who knows 」 The men holding a camera tries to capture a photo of us. But. 「 We're sorry, but it's forbidden to take photos in the lobby The hotel bellboy talks to the media guy. He stands in front of the camera so we won't get photographed. 「 This hotel is first-cla.s.s, so we can leave things like that to them 」 Misuzu said. There are a lot of tourist guests as well so they can't refuse those who bring a camera in the lobby. But if someone tries to shoot another person with a camera, the employees of the hotel will stretch themselves and stop them. 「 But, there are those who take hidden shots, right? 」 I think. In this lobby, there's a lot of police officers, and bodyguards of distinguished houses. The party tonight is a Russian film festival so there may be people coming from foreign intelligence agencies. And everyone would like information on who is Misuzu's fiance. 「 That's okay, we walked on the first-floor lobby on the purpose of having peeping photos. That way, there won't be any unnecessary photos like with the media just now 」 Oh. We're aware so let them take photos. 「 We also need to get along with those people from now on either way 」 Misuzu laughs. That's right. If I'm going to live as Misuzu's partner from now on, then. I need to get used to this. 「 We're in public right now 」 I resolve myself. Misuzu and Ruriko don't break their elegant smile either. We go through the main building lobby. 「 The escalator there will lead to the second floor 」 Michi tells me. Oh, I'm the only one who doesn't know where the venue is, so she's being considerate with me and tells me everything. Looking at the escalator, it says "The second floor, Banquet area." I don't know what Banquet means though. 「 The venue for today is used for celebrities" wedding in the past 」 Misuzu said while we ride the escalator. 「 It was when celebrity weddings are popular in television broadcast 」 I see, so they had a party at this place. Looking up at the escalator, arrows are leading to "Crimson Peafowl Area" "Red Dragon King Area" and "Red Celestial Maiden Area." 「 We're on "Red Peafowl Area" 」 Misuzu smiles. The reception table is already at the front of the entrance. There are people already lined up in there. Of course, they're not only j.a.panese. There are Russians at the reception too, could they be from the Emba.s.sy or Russians in a business office in j.a.pan? Also, the media again. There's no stinky man like the one on the lobby below. There are about 30 female reporters. Their hairstyle is stylish, and they're wearing beautiful suits. 「 Women's magazine cover celebrities visiting this kind of parties 」 Misuzu whispers to me. 「 They plan to check the fas.h.i.+on of the celebrities dressed up 」 「 But, celebrities aren't wealthy, they're ordinary people, aren't they? 」 「 Yes, but people like that 」 The rich wife or ladies wearing a party dress. That doesn't matter to the ordinary people, but. 「 And also, many wealthy people like to be covered by such magazines 」 They want themselves wearing a dress shown in the magazine? 「 Therefore, those people have official permission from the party organizer 」 In short, we too. Ah, they're here. 「 Excuse me, may I? 」 Oh wow, three reporters come over us showing a very fake smile. 「 We're from Monthly "Mrs. Style," would it be okay if we take photos? 」 Misuzu; 「 I refuse 」 She smiles. 「 We're still in middle school and high school, there's no value in taking photos 」 「 Not at all young ladies, you two are lovely, would you like to share us some fas.h.i.+on points for today? 」 The reporters don't give up. The reporters behind try to take photos without permission. But. 「 Please stop.
