CHAPTER 16 – MADAM

Lily awkwardly pulled the lapel of her yukata to forestall her breasts from being uncovered.

Quickly after, a shadow from outdoors blocked the candle flame held by granny Ayashi.

Lily raised her head solely to see a brief, overweight lady with poor style in clothes and heavy make-up barging into the room.

“Oh, you have to be Miss Kagami?” The madam smacked her plump and shiny pink lips.

“Y-yes.” Lily was nonetheless frantically checking out her clothes as she made a bow in her seiza place.

That fats lady’s toes appeared to hold some sort of physique odor. With out saying something, she sat immediately beside Lily and one may really feel the whole room shake for a second.

“I’m Daidouji Hiroko, the m.a.d.a.m. of this home!”

“Greetings to the madam.”

“I’ve lengthy obtained the information {that a} devastating great thing about peerless magnificence has graced upon our home. Why have you ever solely been associating with the boys ever since your arrival and didn’t come to see me?”

“I’ve embarrassed myself, due to my curiosity in kenjutsu, I’ve requested elder Matsuda to show me and didn’t pay a well timed go to to the madam. Please pardon my rudeness.”

“Sheesh, it’s too sizzling! Ayashi, why are you not fanning!”

Lily tried to maintain her frown in verify. Even when Ayashi was a servant, was it not too smug to make an outdated lady fan for her?

Hiroko continued by saying, “I heard Miss Kagami is the younger girl of the prosperous Kagami clan in Kansai area?”

“That’s proper, however I’m not certified to be considered some younger girl.”

Hiroko checked out Lily suspiciously, “Our Daidouji home’s household head, that’s to say, my massive brother Daidouji Akira, is the elder of the Hojo clan. Have you ever ever heard of it?”

“I haven’t,” Lily answered in truth.

“You—” Hiroko was so offended that her meat was visibly shaking, however she endured it and continued, “Hmph… your Kagami clan is a prestigious home within the Kansai area, it’s no massive marvel you’ve by no means heard of a vagabond drive like our Daidouji clan. It’s simply that our Daidouji clan has frequent communication with that Honjyo Temple1 near the Heian Capital. Could I do know which subclan does Miss Kagami belong to? Inform us, and my massive brother will naturally show you how to ask round in order that they will ship somebody to obtain Miss Kagami as quickly as potential. Will Miss Kagami please let me know?”

Lily solely stared blankly again at her. How may she know which subclan she belonged to when the entire thing was a lie? That’s why this was all she replied with, “I… can’t keep in mind.”

“Hahahahaha! Miss Kagami, you don’t seem like somebody with amnesia from the way in which you converse. How is it potential you could’t even keep in mind your mother and father? The best way I see it, Miss Kagami, you aren’t from Kagami clan in any respect!”2

Lily trembled barely.

She felt that the madam solely visited her in the present day with a view to make issues troublesome for her, regardless that Lily had by no means offended her earlier than.

“Madam, I actually… can’t keep in mind. If madam actually doesn’t consider me and really feel that I’m not of the Kagami clan, then you may deal with me as such.”

Lily initially admitted herself because the younger girl of the Kagami clan solely to spice up her standing a bit of so she wouldn’t be bullied by the samurais. She was not attempting to make use of the identify of an influential clan to swindle somebody. If she was initially a lady from this world, mendacity like this was naturally inappropriate. Nonetheless, Lily had skilled an air crash together with senior sister, then they had been unknowingly despatched to this world with the physique of a lady. What different selection did she have? All she needed was to outlive!

She was amnesic anyway, it didn’t matter what she mentioned. Lily additionally didn’t need to cope with this fats lady for too lengthy.

“Hmph, don’t suppose you may beat across the bush by utilizing your misplaced reminiscences as an excuse! Do you not have something that may show your id with?” Hiroko continued to push for a solution.

“None.” Lily didn’t really feel like saying greater than that.

Seeing Lily’s detached look, Hiroko turned much more livid, “Hmph! Let me inform you, if not as a result of we’ve got requested Miss Sakiko of the Genji Dojo to examine your private clothes to show that you’re certainly a human, I’d have thought that you’re actually a feminine monster!”

“What?!” Lily was startled, her complete physique heated up because of disgrace.

“Private clothes?!” Lily recalled how she slept for the entire day yesterday and after she awakened, she discovered her kimono in addition to… her underwear had been already washed and neatly folded by the door aspect. She was initially feeling grateful, however by no means did she anticipate they’d really take it for inspection! In the event that they took her kimono for inspection, then that was nonetheless acceptable, but when her string panty was additionally…

Lily’s face instantly turned pink, she lowered her head feeling ashamed.

Taking a look at how embarrassed Lily was feeling, Hiroko felt happy with herself and mentioned with contempt, “From my viewpoint, you’re only a vixen! By wanting so fairly, are you attempting to seduce our lord and steal our household properties? Let me inform you, our doorways are closed!”

Lily was dumbfounded when she heard these. No marvel the madam was so overbearing for the reason that begin, it was simply that she was jealous of Lily’s youth and wonder. She was afraid that Lily would battle over their lord. Lily was actually speechless.

As a result of Lily was a boy on the within, she didn’t instantly affiliate this as the rationale.

Though her face was nonetheless pink, Lily nonetheless checked out this fats lady with chilly eyes. She couldn’t assist however really feel sympathetic for Matsuda Nagahide in her coronary heart.

“Madam, you may really feel comfy, elder Matsuda is an efficient particular person,” Lily replied with indifference.

“G-Good particular person, you say? You solely interacted with him for a day and also you say that b@stard is an efficient particular person?! Simply how a lot of a slꭒt are you?! You shameless vixen, let me inform you, don’t let my outdated age trick you, the rationale Matsuda clan has in the present day is generally due to me! What about Matsuda is…”

Lily didn’t really feel like listening to the fats lady’s blather so she shut off her phrases midway by. Apparently, the individuals of this world didn’t perceive the that means of her phrases.

“Madam!” Lily raised her tone of voice, “I respect you because the mistress of Matsuda clan, however it is best to watch what you say! I’ll by no means be tempted by any males!”

A pointy, invisible aura rose from Lily’s environment.

Girls had been delicate creatures to start with, regardless that Hiroko didn’t know any martial arts, she was nonetheless scared by this little little bit of murderous aura, “Heh, that’s good, as… so long as you perceive! This home is managed by me, in brief, don’t attempt something humorous right here! In any other case, y-you will remorse it!”

Lily’s icy gaze gave Hiroko a fright, so she hurriedly left after abandoning a fierce comment. Her heavy footsteps rumbled by the sidewalk.

As Lily closed the door, she felt that was extra exhausting than encountering a demon. She lied down on the ground and appeared on the wood beam of the ceiling.

“I initially thought that one Daidouji Taro is already annoying sufficient, however now a Daidouji Hiroko has appeared! I solely needed to study the way in which of a samurai in peace. I’m positively going to set out on a journey immediately as soon as I’ve sufficient energy for self-defense. Solely by staying on the Matsuda clan, I’ve already made myself an enemy. I’m afraid that the journey forward will probably be a lot more durable than I imagined.”

“Senior sister… Irrespective of how exhausting or harmful is it, I’ll positively discover a method to awaken you!”

These small issues wouldn’t have the ability to sway Lily.

Though she was only a good-for-nothing otaku, senior sister favored her, what extra may she ask for?

Hardship? Exhausting? Harmful?

These items had been nothing in comparison with the enjoyment she felt that point!
