Pure Love ✕ Insult Complex-Novel

Chapter 1338. TV Truth / Spear Show

「 Kuromiya arts spear fighting, Kuromiya Motoko, has entered!! 」

「 Likewise, Mikuriya Kurumi has entered!! 」

Motoko and Kurumi, dressed in Hakama and carrying bright red-painted spears came dashing to the studio.

「 H-Hey, what is it this time? 」

The gay columnist Francie is surprised.

「 Just like Arisu-chan, she belongs to quite an impressive household, but this time, this onee-san is even more of a prestigious lady 」

Eri said smilingly.

「 Yes, Kuromiya-sama is a princess of a lord who rules a country 」

Arisu explains with a smile.

「 Huh, princess? 」

Snatch is surprised.

「 Oh, we said princess, but she’s not a crown bearer of a foreign country. In her case, when was it? Warring states? 」

「 Kuromiya-sama’s house was a noble family from Kyoto, the Ishigami family who were assigned to the region as guardians of the Heian period. They settled in the Kuromiya village and became samurai. After that, through the Kamakura period and Muromachi period, became the Feudal lord of 80,000 koku during the Warring States, and after the Meiji restoration, they sat in the house of lords as the member of the nobility 」

Rie said. Kurumi, the vassal of the Kuromiya house explained quickly.

「 Motoko-sama over here is the daughter of the 36th generation head of the Kuromiya house. Kuromiya Takeaki 」

Kurumi says. Motoko bows her head.

「 Kuromiya Motoko 」

Then.

「 Wow, I’m quite the history buff so I know about the Kuromiya house, but isn’t it a bit bad? 」

Francie says.

「 What’s bad? 」

Snatch asks whisperingly.

「 Kuromiya house is related to various politicians since the Meiji era, and at least three of the prime ministers in our history have relations to the Kuromiya house. I mean, if I recall. The current minister of Defense is… 」

「 If you’re talking about the house of representatives and Minister of Defense, Kuromiya Kanzo, then yes, he’s my uncle 」

Motoko said.

「 What’s the minister of defense? 」

「 He’s the man with all the tanks, fighter planes, submarines, and stuff! 」

No, the minister of defense doesn’t personally own those weapons.

「 Kuromiya house is a military family after all 」

Motoko replies with chest puffed in pride.

「 Well, s-so…what does the military family Kuromiya-san, h-have for us today? 」

Francie asks.

「 Motoko-ojousama is a master of the Kuromiya style spear fighting, which had been handed down from generations of the Kuromiya house 」

「 Today, I’d like to take the opportunity and show you all the spear techniques that have been passed down in our family 」

Kurumi and Motoko replies.

「 Oh, you can use that space there 」

Yukino speaks nonchalantly.

「 As for the camera, sorry but get it in. She’s the daughter of the minister of defense so if things go poorly, you’ll be in trouble 」

Yukino laughs.

Nonono, what can the minister of defense do with a cameraman?

Even so, it cuts to the scene where Motoko and Kurumi face each other with spears in the middle space of the studio.

「 Then, Kurumi 」

「 Yes, Ojou-sama 」

The two in their Hakama take stances.

「 Huh? You girls aren’t going to do the usual like when training? 」

Francie asks.

「 You don’t do that in military sport 」

「 Those girls have their tradition from the Warring states 」

the twins looked at Francie and said.

「 Suha!! 」

「 Haa!! 」

Motoko and Kurumi draw their spears.

They swing their huge red spears.

The silver edge of the blade reflects the light of the studio.

Both of them attack in a flowing manner, dodging each other’s spear just in time.

The spear attack and defense continued as if it were a dance.

「 Huh, is that real? 」

「 Obviously, it can cut, poke, and kill 」

「 That spear is an old one too 」

The twins replied to Snatch.

「 But, what’s this. So graceful, so beautiful 」

What Francie said is natural.

According to Shou-neechan’s plan, Motoko and Kurumi were to demonstrate by combining only the most spectacular techniques of the Kuromiya style.

The two have been training since they were children so they’re fighting in perfect harmony.

「 Teiyaa, haaaa 」

「 Eiyaa, toaaa!! 」

These slender and sweet girls wield long and dangerous spears with ease and continue their fight.

Then.

「 Kuromiya arts secret technique, phantom hazy butterfly 」

「 Kuromiya arts secret technique, shadow decapitation 」

Motoko and Kurumi used a skill at the same time

「 Haiyaa! 」

「 Toiyaa!! 」

The violent flow of movement stops in an instant.

Then, the two looked at each other in the eye and stopped.

「 You’re improving, Kurumi 」

Motoko smiled at Kurumi.

「 It’s all the fruits of Motoko-ojousama’s guidance 」

Kurumi also smiled back at Motoko.

The two put down their spears.

Then they bowed at the camera.

The Kuromiya style demonstration is over.

◇　◇　◇

「 Okay come here Motoko-oneechan, and Kurumi-oneechan 」

「 Sit over here 」

Eri and Rie, wearing their micro bikini, prepare a chair for Motoko and Kurumi.

Then, they also bring in a cart to hold the spears in advance.

「 Excuse me 」

「 Excuse me 」

Motoko and Kurumi put down their precious spears and sat down on the chair.

「 That was some amazing movement but you two didn’t sweat at all 」

Francie looks at Motoko with a refreshed face.

「 If this level of training makes me sweat, then I won’t be able to become an instructor 」

Motoko replies with a smile.

「 Can I touch those spears? 」

Snatch asks.

「 Yes, feel free 」

「 Try holding my spear 」

Kurumi hands over her spear to Snatch.

「 Oh, it isn’t as heavy as it looks. But, it’s…yeah, it’s a real blade 」

「 If it’s too heavy, you can’t use it 」

Motoko said.

「 In the battlefield, when food soldiers with long spears face each other and it turns to a stalemate, they try to cut each other from the side 」

Kurumi explains.

「 I heard that my ancestor Mikuriya Shirouzaemon defeated a samurai general with this spear 」

「 Huh, this was used in war? 」

Snatch panics and returns the spear to Kurumi.

「 Yes, I brought my heirloom spear with me today. My spear is a masterpiece named Demon Striking Spear 」

Motoko replies while caressing hers.

「 That’s amazing, were you also practicing ancient techniques with such an old-fashioned spear, right? 」

「 Yes. Kurumi and I are preserving the techniques of the Kuromiya house 」

Motoko replies to Francie.

「 But still, isn’t it hard to use spears in the modern age? 」

Snatch asks everyone’s doubt.

「 That’s right, I don’t think spears like this are used on the battlefield anymore. 」

Motoko said and smiled.

「 But, Kuromiya style of spear fighting is also useful in the current age 」

「 Oh, wait, I’ll get it over 」

Eri and Rie ran over and pushed in a wagon from outside the studio.

「 What’s this? 」

Francie and Snatch are interested in the wagon.

It’s the trial self-defense parasol from Kouzuki SS.

「 This looks like an ordinary parasol, however, 」

Motoko stood up, went to the wagon, took a parasol, and opened it.

「 The shaft of the parasol is made of lightweight reinforced alloy used in batons 」

Indeed, the shaft of the parasol is thicker.

「 It won’t bend even after receiving a heavy impact. It’s built to be strong 」

Motoko waved the parasol like a short spear, shuffling it with both hands.

「 With this, you can fight off an attack from thugs 」

「 Oh, I see. Using a parasol for self-protection 」

Francie nods.

「 Then, why don’t we test it? Mitama-oneesan, stealth Kinuka, Go! 」

Eri called and Mitama and Kinuka takes arm.

Dressed in a micro bikini, Mitama’s holding an iron tonfa in both hands.

Meanwhile, Kinuka who’s dressed like a ninja is holding an iron pipe.

「 Please come attacking from behind 」

Motoko and Kurumi took the self-defense parasol to the center of the studio.

「 I won’t hold back 」

「 That’s the etiquette of Anjou arts combat 」

Mitama and Kinuka told Motoko and Kurumi.

「 Yes, we will also go all out for the Kuromiya style spear fighting’s name 」

「 We’re ready anytime 」

Motoko and Kurumi turn their back on Mitama.

「 Sorry! 」

「 Sorry! 」

Mitama and Kinuka attacked Motoko and Kurumi at the same time.

「 Suiyaaa!! 」

Bachin!!!

Motoko and Kurumi used their self-defense parasol to protect their behind.

Then.

「 Teiyaa! Seiyaa 」

「 Seyaseya! 」

They used the parasol as a spear to counterattack.

They’ve been training all this week so they can use the parasol freely.

Kan, kan, chin!

The range frame of the self-defense parasol, the tonfa, and the iron pipe.

The sounds of metals violently clanging.

「 Ei, ei! Yaaa!!! 」

「 Tei, tei! Toaaaaa!!! 」

It looks like the fight is equal, but…

The tonfa which is obviously a weapon, and the iron pipe, look brutal.

Motoko and Kurumi were using parasols at a glance.

Appearance-wise, Motoko and Kurumi should be the ones at disadvantage.

「 Okay, that’s enough demonstration 」

「 That’s enough! 」

The twins stopped the four.

「 What it means that even if Mitama-oneesan who is a master of martial arts come with a dangerous-looking weapon 」

「 This parasol can deal with them 」

「 So, you can take down any of those molesters or perverts with a single blow 」

「 Kuromiya-oneesan’s parasol is the best 」

Eri and Rie looked at the camera and shows off cheerfully.

「 Apart from the parasol here, you can also use ordinary folding umbrellas 」

Kurumi brings in another trial product and shows it to the camera.

「 I see, they look like ordinary umbrellas but they’re using a light frame that won’t fall off. If paired with your technique, it can be a new form of self-defense 」

Francie took an umbrella from the wagon and said.

「 Oh, you’re right, the weight isn’t different from ordinary umbrellas. But, this shaft is hard. I can’t even bend it 」

「 I can’t do it either. This is amazing 」

Snatch also swings around the parasol.

「 So, are you doing self-defense classes using this parasol? 」

「 That’s our plan someday 」

Francie asks. Motoko replies.

「 Currently, we’re looking for a place that we can use as the Kuromiya style spear fighting self-defense dojo 」

「 But, this might come to fashion. It looks stylish 」

「 Yes, it doesn’t feel like a self-defense weapon at all 」

Naturally. That’s the prototype Shou-neechan instructed to make.

The parasol is high-quality, and it also has a good sense of fashion.

「 Then there’s also the fact that a princess is the one teaching you self-defense. I think that the technique that’s been around since the Warring States period itself will also attract the attention of girls who like history 」

「 Thank you 」

Motoko thanked with a smile.

「 Once you’ve decided the specific location of your classroom, you can come and let us know again in this show 」

Rie faced the camera and said.

「 Then, today, we’re sending off the show with the usual members, plus Kurama Arisu-chan, Kuromiya Motoko-oneesan, and Mikuriya Kurumi-oneesan! 」

Eri happily announced.

「 What, is this going to be the usual flow? 」

Snatch asks the twins.

「 That’s right. There won’t be any more guests so we’ll let Snatch-oniisan take care of things 」

Eri replied.

「 But, it’s quite fun to have cute girls gather around 」

「 A former young lady, a current young lady, it’s a lot to talk about 」

Yukino smiled.

「 Good, well then, it’s going to be the usual. First, let’s talk about the news this week and then everyone can comment on that 」

Snatch will be hosting the show as usual.

Yukino’s corner is where she can say whatever she wants with the actors or current affairs as much as she wants.

「 I’ve been thinking about this. What about you? 」

As usual, Yukino speaks some absurd stuff.

Seeing Arisu and Motoko’s contrast in their opinions as they’re ignorant of the ways of the world is also fun.

Through this corner, the viewers see once again that Arisua and Motoko are indeed daughters of the nobility.

◇　◇　◇

「 It seems to be doing well. 」

I’m watching the broadcast in the waiting room of the station.

Arisu, Motoko, and Kurumi are appearing today so I came with them to the TV station.

Knock, knock.

I hear a knock on the door.

「 It’s me 」

It’s Shou-neechan

「 Come in 」

Today, Shou-neechan’s dressed as an employee of the TV station, or some entertainment production company.

She’s wearing a slightly more fancy suit, a tighter skirt, and glasses.

「 I’ve received an angry call from the Kuromiya house 」

Yeah.

「 Naturally, they’re angry. Motoko-sama’s appearing on a vulgar TV show together with Kurama-sama’s daughter, whose house has fallen 」

Right.

From the Kuromiya house with their status.

\Yukino’s a daughter of Shriasaka Sousuke, the enemy of the country.

Eri and Rie, daughters of Yakuza.

A comedian, Snatch, and a gay columnist, Francie.

And Arisu, whose Kurama house is stripped of their noble status.

Having the daughter of the head of the Kuromiya house appear on TV together with them is unlikely.

「 Well, they resisted, but… 」

Shou-neechan said with a smile.

「 With that, the discussion of marrying off Motoko-sama has cut off 」

Right, that’s our objective.

「 For the Kuromiya house, they can’t send Motoko-sama, someone who brought shame to their house to another family. 」

Their pride as nobility won’t allow that.

「 Then, we’ll have Motoko and Kurumi in our care from now on, right? 」

「 Yes, it will definitely end that way. The Kuromiya head household doesn’t know how to deal with Motoko-sama anymore. 」

That’s good.

Motoko and Kurumi will now stay as mine.
