That’s because I don’t know Yoshiko-san that well
I replied.
Huh?
Yoshiko-san’s surprised.
Besides, Yoshiko-san doesn’t know me that well, right? I can’t love someone I don’t know well
I said with a smile.
Are you saying that you know Misuzu-sama and Ruriko-sama?
Yoshiko-san says while showing a pout.
I look at Ruriko and Misuzu.
To be honest, there’s a lot I don’t know. Last night, when I went to Misuzu’s house, I found out a lot of things for the first time
Seeing their living environment lets you understand things for the first time.
Even in Misuzu’s composed, bright, yet closed inside personality, I think her room’s too spacious and her room has a lock.
Since the space for an individual to move freely is large, Misuzu’s heart is tormented by the pressure of being the daughter of Kouzuki house every day cannot wither.
She has a place to escape.
However, because of that room, Misuzu’s withdrawn personality has been created.
Misuzu by nature is not good at communicating with others.
At first glance, she’s bright and kind to everyone, but that’s the result of being educated on what to do as the daughter of Kouzuki house.
Michi’s the only close friend she has.
I mean, I still don’t even know what Misuzu and Ruriko’s favorite food is. Well, I’ll learn that next time I don’t have any dislikes in food. I’ll gladly eat anything presented
Ruriko said.
But, that’s just a result of the education as the daughter of Kouzuki house.
When Ruriko goes to dine together with Jii-chan, if she says her likes or dislikes, it would bring shame to Kouzuki house.
A daughter of Kouzuki house must eat the meals served for dinner with a smile.
That’s their duty as a successor.
I don’t want to know what Ruriko dislikes but what Ruriko likes
I said.
I like whichever
Ruriko smiles.
It’s natural for Ruriko who’s a daughter of a noble.
She can’t tell what she likes or dislikes.
That’s not it. Earlier, Ruri-tan said I want Onii-sama to eat this dish too, earlier in the party when you were eating, right?
Misuzu said.
Yes, the flavor seems like it would please Onii-sama
Ruriko replied.
Then, that’s what Ruriko likes
Misuzu laughs.
I see. Ruriko doesn’t know what kind of flavor I like.
I’ve only eaten together with Ruriko in the past few days.
Above all that, I just eat anything that I’m offered.
Mainly, I never talk about I like this taste or I hate this
In short.
The dish Ruriko tasted and wanted me to eat as well is the flavor Ruriko likes.
I’m the same. I have hopes that Danna-sama eats whatever I like. No, it’s not just on food. I want to share a lot of experiences with Danna-sama
Misuzu said.
Oh, I get that. Me too. I want to experience various things with Onii-sama That’s what love means I think
Misuzu said. Yoshiko-san listens quietly.
No, Jii-chan too.
That’s a very philosophical talk. But still, teaching each other a lot, you really have an equal relationship
Equal?
When I think that you have to experience what I know well then I will contact you. I’ll have you all experience it together, or even share the experience with each other
Jii-chan snorts his nose.
No, that’s wrong, Jii-chan. I really am a man who knows nothing. 1 Everyone taught me a lot, and that’s why I’m somehow living
I believe that there are still a lot of things I can learn.
Your straightforwardness is what connects to their trust I believe
Jii-chan said.
Yoshiko, you think that this boy is using Misuzu and Ruriko as a bridge to take over Kouzuki house, right? I also consider that
Jii-chan said. Yoshiko-san’s surprised.
And yet, why is he not seducing Yoshiko. You know that, don’t you?
Oh, I see.
Yoshiko-san thinks that I’m that kind of guy.
It can’t be helped.
To Yoshiko-san, I’m the man who took Ruriko away.
I even forced her to watch Ruriko’s first time.
Earlier, she was watching us have group sex too.
I don’t know, I
Yoshiko-san looks down.
It might be in his plan to not call out on me
Oh, Yoshiko-san seems to be overthinking.
Danna-sama has no plans at all
Misuzu tells Yoshiko-san with a smile.
Danna-sama never thinks politically after all
Yoshiko-san’s taken aback.
He doesn’t think of using us as a bridge to become the head of Kouzuki house at all
Ruriko also speaks.
That’s right, he doesn’t have any political thoughts at all. That’s why I can trust him
Jii-chan too?
Yes. Kouzuki house’s problems are our own to solve So Onii-sama won’t have to worry
Misuzu and Ruriko smile to Yoshiko-san.
What part of Misuzu and Ruriko do you like?
Jii-chan asks me.
Err.
Misuzu herself
I replied immediately.
What do you mean?
Jii-chan looks dumbfounded.
I mean, I love them all. Her face, body, voice, personality, how she’s smart yet a bit spoiled sometimes, I like that all
I.
Oh, of course, I like Ruriko being herself and Michi being herself too. Minaho-neesan, Jii-chan too Me?
Jii-chan’s surprised.
Yeah. I like how you try to speak like almighty yet also a bit cunning. That’s how Jii-chan is
I continue.
It’s because I think we’ll be together for long
Jii-chan.
Is that your standard? Yeah. You see, people don’t necessarily need to agree on everything. Misuzu and Ruriko are too rich that there are some parts I can’t really understand. But you see, what’s most important is whether I can get over that unknown and be confident that I’ll be with them all the time, isn’t it?
I answered.
So you think of being with me too?
Jii-chan’s surprised.
Why not? Jii-chan is the head of Kouzuki house, you’re also a lot older than me, so I have a lot I don’t understand but, if I can then I will
Ruriko’s overlapping with his first love, and he even holds illicit love for her.
I’m sure that if I were in the same position, I might’ve done the same thing.
I can understand Jii-chan. That’s why I can call you, family. If it was Michi’s father, or old man Dai Grepher, then I can’t understand them
I know that they’re working behind the scenes. Those kinds of people are needed too.
However, I don’t know why do they have to dress costumes at all.
Don’t lump me with those men!
Jii-chan gets angry.
It’s just plain wrong to understand those people
Michi said.
They’re in a world of mysterious tastes
Michi also seems to be repulsive to the fact that her father is wearing a black hat black suit.
Anyway, it’s a valuable standard for you on whether we can keep on with our lives or not
Minaho-neesan returns to the topic.
That’s right, That’s why
I turn to Yoshiko-san.
I still am not sure whether I can keep company with Yoshiko-san for a lifetime. That’s why I don’t love Yoshiko-san, nor I don’t think I have to
Yoshiko-san stares at me.
You can see that Onii-sama hasn’t accepted us thoughtlessly, can’t you?
Ruriko tells Yoshiko-san.
On top of that, I love Yoshiko-sama. I want to be with Yoshiko-sama for the rest of my life Ruriko-sama, that’s!
They’re in similar positions now as cousins but before, their relationship was of a master and servant.
Your words are a waste on me
Yoshiko-san bows her head to Ruriko.
No. I’m thankful to Yoshiko-sama. Therefore, I want us to get along from now until forever Ruriko-sama, please don’t say any more However, I can’t continue living in Grandfather’s house anymore. Right now, it’s my pleasure to stay with Onii-sama and to serve him. I need to live apart from Yoshiko-sama already Ruriko-sama!
