Kurama Misato and Arisu have fallen, and so they’re not allowed to eat in the same room as Jii-chan.
Therefore, Anjou Mitama and Kinuka too.
Don’t worry, they have the same dinner as us
Katsuko-nee said.
I’ll pretend I didn’t hear that Katsuko-kun
Huh, Jii-chan.
Katsuko-kun, what do you think this room is?
Hmm?
Well, it’s a room for the family to eat their meal, right?
Wrong, Onii-chan, it’s not meal, but dinner
Mana comes in with another meal wagon.
Dinner?
Yes. It’s a place where you eat DINNER, and that’s why it’s called DINING ROOM
Yoshiko-san gives me a lesson while carrying another wagon of meals.
Wait, it’s only for dinner? What about breakfast?
It’s on the morning room over there
yoshiko-san, what’s morning room?
Then, there’s also a lunchroom?
Then, Jii-chan and the girls in the room laughed.
Misuzu, Ruriko, and Torii-san.
Mana, Yoshiko-san, and Katsuko-nee.
Nei, Shou-neechan, Rei-chan, and Luna.
Michi, Edie, Agnes, and Mao-chan.
Papa, that’s funny!
Why is Yo-chan so serious at times like this?
They’re not laughing at my stupidity.
They were laughing at my facial expressions.
It’s only Adelheid-san and Karen-san who aren’t laughing.
The room for lunch isn’t decided. That’s why there’s no Lunch Room
Yoshiko-san teaches me.
Most of the time, I eat lunch outside
Yeah, if the head of the house doesn’t eat dinner here, then there’s no need for a room for that.
Remember this, Danna-sama. You need to learn this when other nobility invites you to their home
Misuzu tells me.
Right, if I get in the dining room of a mansion of someone I don’t know,
If I head to the dining room for breakfast after staying over, they’ll laugh at me.
I don’t think any other families follow the morning and dining rooms unless they are an old family, just like Kouzuki-sama
Torii-san tells Misuzu.
Oh, what about Kaan-sama’s house?
I’ve stayed over Momoko-oneesama’s house multiple times but, speaking of which, I never went in their dining room before
Misuzu asks. Torii-san replied.
Momoko-oneesama has her villa inside Kaan-sama’s mansion
They’re not living apart, but instead, she lives in a mansion in the plot.
I haven’t entered Kaan-sama’s main house yet
Torii-san hasn’t entered the mansion of the head of the house.
Kanou house doesn’t give any distinction between Dining and Morning rooms
Torii Mariko-san has a blood relationship with Kanou house.
She should’ve stayed over her Grandfather’s house before.
The room themselves are still there, but, they eat both breakfast and dinner in the same room
Kanou house lost their former vigor.
Jii-chan and all the other nobilities give them honorary position as foundations.That’s how they manage to live for now.
They can’t hire lots of servants like before.
Therefore, they eat their meals in one room.
They only use the dining room?
Jii-chan asks. Torii-san;
No, they use only the morning room. There are hardly any people living there now. It’s easier for them to use the morning room, which is smaller
I see
Jii-chan mutters with a sad tone.
Kouzuki, Kaan, and Kanou house, they were the big three back then.
Using a small room for breakfast and dinner, the image of Kanou house’s ruin is too vivid for them.
Okay, that’s enough idle talk, let’s eat
Katsuko-nee softens the mood.
Our dinner for tonight isn’t the Kouzuki style but our style. It has to be a full-course dinner!
Soup, Milanese cutlet, and legume curry
Yoshiko-san said.
Mana and Yoshiko cooked the curry! Oh right, we also have salad prepared
Mana adds another.
Onii-sama, take a seat
Ruriko urges me to sit down.
Oh right, I’m still standing.
I mean, my seat is over there.
The chair next to Misuzu is open.
Ah
What’s wrong?
Misuzu asks me.
No, nothing
The seating order’s decided.
Jii-chan, the head, is in the best location,
Then, Misuzu.
And I sit next to Misuzu as I’m her partner.
Torii-san is an outsider, and so she keeps the order as well.
Therefore, Torii-san is a semi nobility but a guest, and so she sits on the seat of honor, close to Jii-chan and Misuzu.
But, Adelheid-san is on the lower seat.
Oh, Shou-neechan and Rei-chan are with her.
Yeah, this should be okay.
By the way, have you finished the problem outside?
While the meals are distributed.
Torii-san asks suddenly.
Yes, for now, we caught them all without problems
I blurred out the details.
Really? Haiji, how was it?
Torii-san asks Adelheid-san.
It ended without problems
I won’t understand anything from that. You were there watching everything unfold, right? How did it all go?
Adelheid-san.
Everyone played an active role, and I feel ashamed in my immaturity
Haiji?
Torii-san’s surprised.
Oh, that’s not like you. That confidence in yourself was what’s cute about you, Haiji
But when they showed off such overwhelming difference, my confidence is blown away
Hmm, I see
Torii-san speaks in dissatisfaction.
Danna-sama, are you going back there later?
Misuzu whispers.
Yeah, Minaho-neesan, Tsukiko, and Yomi are still there, I’m also going with them
Minaho-oneesama gave her instructions
Minaho-neesan gave instructions to Misuzu?
She asked to let Danna-sama feel his family
Feel his family.
You need to feel the people who you want to protect once more
Yeah.
Tendou Sadao and Irokuchou Ichirou.
We have to be merciless with them.
It’s all to make sure that the Kansai Yakuza will never touch Misuzu, Ruriko, and all the other young ladies.
If they try to hurt the ladies of nobility, they will also experience the same cruelty like this, that’s what we need to convey.
We’re punishing them, to make this an example for others.
However, among the Yakuza daughters that we saved.
Some of them will not like that their fathers and mothers will have a disastrous experience.
Even so, we have to do it.
It’s so that I could protect this family.
Even if those girls hate me.
I must steel my heart.
Danna-sama’s too kind that you might empathize with the prisoners, and so, Minaho-oneesama worries
If I go there right away.
I will pity Tendou Otome and the eight daughters.
It’s highly likely that Tendou Sadao will not receive any harsh punishment.
Therefore, I had to return home.
Have dinner with the family.
It’s a break for my mental tension.
Speaking of which, she didn’t come back with you
Torii-san said.
Tendou Otome.
Yeah, she’s with her friends
To be precise, she’s unconscious, together with the other daughters of Yakuza.
She will not come back
I replied.
I see. That’s great. I don’t think she should
Torii-san.
I mean, in the end, she never looked straight into our eyes when talking
Tendou Otome wasn’t looking?
Her head is filled with nothing but her friends
Right.
Torii-san’s right.
Tendou Otome only worries about Tokuda Sonoko, and her friends, who are hostages of her father.
She didn’t look at our faces.
Her head is filled with such thoughts.
I would say that I’m also sharp-tongued that I only think about myself, but.
Torii-san said.
But I still look at the people around me. But she, she never looks at anything but one thing
She looks at the situation objectively.
She has a cheeky personality, but she’s smart.
She pushes strong, but she never forces the impossible.
Oh, just like Adelheid-san
