Now then.Mana-san’s punishment is done

Misuzu looks at Yoshiko-san

Yoshiko-san.you’re not in ourfamilyyet but.

Misuzu-oneesama.I will be the one to speak from there

Ruriko interripts Misuzu

.Yoshiko

Ruriko reaches out for Yoshiko-san

Yes.Ruriko-sama

She holds Yoshiko-san’s hand.

The two girls are holding hands

I have decided to give my heart and body to Kuromori-sama However.that doesn’t mean that our bonds will be gone

The 15 year old beauty.tells her 18 year oldretainer

Please continue to serve me from now on

That is.of course I will. However.

Yoshiko-san is puzzled as she doesn’t know her master’s true intention

Ruriko raises her face and looks at everyone.

Everyone.that’s how it is, sorry but Yoshiko will be like Seki-san, she’ll be ourfamily’s ally.could you accept her?

The room quiets down.

.I don’t mind

First.Minaho-neesan said

Un.It’s fine having her anallyright?

Margo-san smiles

Yes, we welcome you

Katsuko-nee

Hmm, I think it’s okay

Nagisa

Ufufun! Well, that’s how it is for now!

Nei-san

.I think it’s okay

Megu.cheer up

I approve!

Michi’s having her firm expression as usual

I welcome you as well

Reika

Eh, I.I’m on hold for now so I think I’m okay with it

Seki-san

There’s no way I would object you know? I will obey your decisions

Kakka.what’s left is

Hey, Mana.what do you think?

Mana.thinks of Yoshiko-san as anallyfrom the beginning It would be strange for me to say that she’s not a friend this late!

Even after I slapped her ass.she doesn’t stop speaking her own thoughts.

Well, that’s Mana’s good point.

Now then.I

I think so too.Yoshiko-san’s a friend

.Yoshiko-san

Thank you very much.everyone

Holding Ruriko’s hand tightly.she happily answered.

Huh.have we forgotten one?

Nei-san said

Huh, where’s my child?

Nagisa panics

Speaking of which, I can’t see where Mao-chan is

Or rather.Yukino too

Are they still playing hide and seek under the table?

Hey hey, everyone.here here!

Looking at it, Mao’s on the door at the end of the spacious room.

Mao, don’t go entering places without permission!

Nagisa tells Mao-chan

Ehehe! There’s food in this room!

.Food?

That’s right! It’s ready for a buffet partyb but.I wonder if it’s okay to eat here?

Yukino shows up and shouts from the door Mao-chan opened.

.You

What are you doing?

Seriously.what a vulgar person!1

Mana insults her real sister

Well.because of Yukino’s current look and make up, she can only be seen as a comedian.

It feels like everything she does will be forgiven.

Oh.I had them prepare meals. Everyone, let’s go to the other room

Kakkasaid

Speaking of which, he said that he prepared for snacks right?

.Everyone should be hungry by now, I guess

Kakkalaughs

The room next door is a party room.

True, there’s meals prepared.

But.this is too luxurious for a snack.

There’s various kinds of food, and their quantity is huge.

We can’t eat this all just by ourselves right?

We’ve already evacuated the chefs and the waiters.sorry if it’s all just appetizers for party. Forgive me for there’s no warm food prepared. As for drinks, you can pour it yourself

Kakka tells us.

Okaay, then first.everyone take a drink!

When it comes to meals.Katsuko-nee partitions everyone.

Her and Nagisa gives glasses to everyone.

Pour in the drinks you want yourself.Shige-chan, what do you want?

I think we better keep away from alcohol

Kakkaanswers Nagisa.

A cup won’t hurt would it? We’re not combat personnel, I’ll drink only one cup. Nei-chan, have you decided which wine to open?

Un, Nagisa.I’ll take this one!

Nei-san uncorks a wine bottle skillfully.

Then.I’ll take a drink as well

The wine group.KakkaMinaho-neesan, Katsuko-nee, Nagisa, Nei-san.

The Fresh Orange Juice team.Margo-san, Reika, Seki-san, Michi. The combat team.

The Oolong tea team are.Mana, Megu, Ruriko and Yoshiko-san.

Ice tea.me and Misuzu.

Iced Coffee.Yukino and Mao-chan?

Mao-chan, you drink coffee?

I asked.

Only with lots of milk!

.You prefer café au lait?

.Kafeore?2

Mao-chan tilts her head.

Dear.put only little coffee on the milk. And put plenty of sugar

Nagisa tells me from the side.

Oh, I see.

With that said, I made coffee milk for Mao-chan

Uhihi.coffee, coffee!

This is coffee for Mao-chan

This child tries to imitate adults

Nagisa says as she look at her beloved daughter

Okay, then everyone, raise your glasses

Katsuko-nee confirms.

Then, before the toast.doesKakkawant to say anything?

You don’t have to mind me Katsuko-kun.I’m only allowed to join in thefamilyout of mercy. Not anOjii-chanlike me should speak but the true head of household=

Saying so.he looked at Minaho-neesan.

Yeah.the top if thisfamilyis Minaho-neesan.

Then, Ojou-sama.please

Eh.me?

Minaho-neesan looks at everyone with a troubled face.

Well fine.this will be the first meal with thisfamily Everyone, let’s deepen our relationship. Be sure to talk to everyone.and enjoy the conversation

Then.Minaho-neesan looked at me.

I’ll leave the toast to you!

Eh.Me?

That’s right.I’m the head of thisfamilybut you’re the core, aren’t you?

The eyes of thefamilyconcentrates on me.

.Danna-sama, please!

Onii-chan, hurry up!

.Master, please

Yo-chan, go!

Haa.can’t be helped.

Then, everyone, raise your glasses!

Then, everyone raised their glasses.

I thought of saying something witty but I didn’t come up with anything.

Let’s just go with simple.

Then.cheers!

.Cheers!

Then.thefamilybuffet party begins.

We drink.eat.

Ah.Seki-san and Yoshiko-san’s not yet opening up to everyone.

But, Katsuko-nee and Mana are talking to them positively.

On the contrary.Reika’s in high spirits.

They have Margo-san, Nei-san and Michi taking care of her.

I’m worried that Megu’s still gloomy but.

Besides, the younger sister’s hurt without even the people around knowing.

Yukino’s behind the gloomy Megu, sticking.

.It’s okay, I’ll there

Nagisa whispers to me.

I think that it’s better for the elder sisters to take care of such times!

Un.I’ll just gather everyone’s attention if I give a follow up.

Megu will also be wary of it.

Then I’ll leave her to you, Nagisa

Yes, it’s left to me!Mao, let’s go!

Chargee!

Mao-chan.where did you learn that?

Danna-sama.a chair for grandfather

Misuzu whispers to me.

Right.it would be bad for the old manKakkato stay standing.

Got it!

There are chairs lined up on the wall of the room.

I take one in a hurry.

Here.Kouzuki-san

Oh, thank you

Kakkalooks at me after taking a seat.

Isn’t it about time you stop calling meKouzuki-san?

.Err

We’re family, aren’t we? The public doesn’t matter but in this place, it’s too formal. Besides.

.What?

If you stay too formal with me.the other girls will stay formal with me as well.

True.

Even now, everyone other than Misuzu aren’t coming toKakkaat all

Then.Can I call you Jii-chan?

.Jii-chan?

My real grandfather on my mother’s side isn’t a very good person. He’s already dead but.when I say Ojii-san, I remember him.

.Hmm

Besides, I love my grandma on my father’s side. I haven’t met my grandfather on father side so.I thought that Jii-chan would be good!

Kakkastares at me.

You’re really an honest to fault.you’re not even trying to please me at any way
