They should be telling me what we’re about to do.

Then, the small table has Ruriko, Yoshiko-san, and Yomi, the girls who were in charge of the meal.

They’ll be waiting to prepare for another helping or drinks.

Okay, then.

Ruriko puts the Hayashi rice on the plates.

Yoshiko-san and Yomi go around the tables.

Here, here, let’s start with the furthest

Everyone, please help out

Mana and Agnes are in the young group’s table so it should be okay.

Torii-sama too

thank you

Torii-san feels nervous as Yoshiko-san, the young lady of Kouzuki house, is serving her.

She’s got insecurity towards nobility.

Please pass around the salad bowl

Okay

Is water good enough for drinks?

I think so

Then, pour water on the glasses and bring it to everyone

Ruriko, Luna, Yomi, Mana, and Agnes move around.

We’re used to eating together with such a large group of people but.

Torii-san, Haiji, and the twins look confused.

It’s different from the party yesterday.

Everyone’s cooperating and has to be attentive to the meal.

Okay, does everyone have everything?

Ruriko asks.

Ah, Ruriko-sama, there’s another plate of Hayashi rice

Torii-san shouts.

Huh, I think we’re lacking a bowl of salad? Did anyone take two bowls?

Mana asks loudly.

Ah, sorry. I got two here

Koyomi-chan replied.

For now, everyone has a meal in front of them.

Then.

The extension telephone on the wall rings.

Ah, I’ll take it

No, I’ll take it

Yoshiko-san backs off with a smile and Ruriko answered the phone.

Hello, it’s Ruriko. Yes. Certainly. We’ll be waiting

Ruriko then puts down the phone

Everyone, please wait for a little longer

Ruriko speaks gently.

Huh? But why? Eri-chan and the girls are hungry already

Nonono, not me

Yeah, Rie-chan and I are still okay

The twins shake their heads.

Ruriko looked at me and said;

Onii-sama, Grandfather’s coming this way

Jii-chan?

I invited him. If it’s okay, would you like to come with us for lunch?

Oh.

Jii-chan’s been busy.

He lets Shiba-san take care of the Kouzuki group but Jii-chan still has more job to do.

Today is a reserved day because of the matter from yesterday, and I think that his schedule is free

Misuzu tells me.

Yesterday. Misuzu’s party, and the fight with the Kansai Yakuza who came to Tokyo.

We were able to repel them without problems but thinking about rare possibilities, it’s better not to take care of any business today.

Then, the door opens.

Hmm, this smells delicious. Allow me to join you with your meals

Jii-chan and Rei-chan come in as he speaks.

Grandfather, this way

Ruriko asks Jii-chan to sit on an empty chair on our table.

Wow, it’s Bushimiya Reika!

right, Eri-chan

The twins looked at Rei-chan instead of Jii-chan.

Rei-chan’s appeared on TV several times and so most people know her.

Rei-chan is Agnes’ family too!

Agnes explained to the twins.

You mean?

That way?

The twins immediately asked Mana.

There’s no this way or that way. That’s just how it is

Mana smiled wryly.

Huh, Fujimiya Reika too?

is that so?

She’s my woman and a member of the family

No! Rei-chan is our Onee-chan

Yes, you have to call her Reika-oneesan or Rei-chan

Agnes and Mana told the two.

Reika-oneesama, this way

Shou-neechan’s still checking the situation of the Kansai Yakuza.

Currently, Rei-chan is Jii-chan’s bodyguard.

Therefore, Ruriko recommends the seat on the table where she can move right away.

Thank you

The tall Rei-chan sits down gallantly.

Rei-chan, you okay? You haven’t slept a lot since you switched with Shou-neechan, haven’t you?

I asked worriedly.

I’ll be okay if it’s just one night. Besides, this mansion is safe

Rei-chan smiles.

Yeah, Kouzuki SS has this mansion completely protected.

Furthermore, Jii-chan and his three granddaughters are in here so.

Their bodyguards are also present here.

Therefore, I’m only doing my work for the form’s sake. In truth, I came here for the Hayashi rice

Rei-chan shows a fresh smile.

Here’s your meal

Yoshiko-san gives a plate to Jii-chan.

Ruriko-chan gives Rei-chan a Hayashi rice plate too.

Yomi brings in the salad and water.

Oh right, Jii-chan. I’ll introduce these girls to you

I thought of introducing Eri and Rie, our new family.

But.

I think you got the order wrong.

Huh, Jii-chan?

Shouldn’t you introduce me first to the girls before you introduce them to me?

Hmm?

what?

I think that it doesn’t matter who’s first.

Oh well.

If that’s what Jii-chan says.

Eri, Rie, I introduce you to the owner of this house, and the grandfather of Ruriko, Misuzu, and Yoshiko-san over there. He’s our Grandfather

Is that good enough?

hello. I’m Eri

i’m Rie. Pleased to meet you

The twins stood up and bowed to Jii-chan in a hurry.

It looks like everyone’s daunted whenever they meet Jii-chan for the first time.

He’s the head of Kouzuki house, he has that kind of aura.

I don’t feel it though.

Hmm, good day. I’m Kouzuki. The owner of the house you’re in right now. And the owner of the same building that you stayed in last night

Jii-chan says suddenly.

is that so?

it’s amazing

That said, the twins can’t imagine the influence of Kouzuki house on society.

I didn’t even know about it half a year ago.

The name Kouzuki doesn’t show up on the companies owned by the Kouzuki group at all.

In fact, each time I hear that this and that company or goods are from the Kouzuki group, it surprises me.

But, that’s got nothing to do with you girls

Jii-chan said with a smile.

I want you to understand. I’m the owner of this house, but, not the head of your family. He’s the leader of the family

Jii-chan smiled at me.

Your family is the one using this room right now. Therefore, he’s the man sitting on the host seat

Huh, my seat?

O-Oh, right.

If you look at it, this is the highest seat of honor from its location.

No, Jii-chan, it’s not like I’m.

Ruriko told me to sit here.

I didn’t take this chair because I want to.

It’s okay. By the way, Ruriko asked me to sit down on the guest of honor seat

Jii-chan smiles.

No, you’re no guest of honor. Jii-chan, you’re also a member of our family

I said.

Huh?

Really?

Rie and Eri.

Hey now, be careful with how you speak. Those girls are confused right now

Jii-chan laughs.

No, but.

I’m in your family but I’m only here as an extra. My beloved granddaughters love this man after all

Jii-chan looked at Rie and Eri.

I may be here because of my relatives, but my place here is just a troublesome relative who slipped in out of self-interest. The only people who truly opened up to me and love me are my three granddaughters Jii-chan looked at Misuzu, Ruriko, and Yoshiko-san.

And my Granddaughters are with him. Therefore, I’m allowed in as their Grandfather incidentally

He smiled at the twins.

Don’t misunderstand, I’m just an extra. Furthermore, an old man. You don’t have to think of living together with me. Ease up. Besides, he won’t allow it

That’s.

He never lets go of his women. He’s a man who’ll protect them with his life

Oh, right.

If I name him my family, the twins would think that they also need to have sex with Jii-chan.

Jii-chan took the initiative and told them his place.

I intend to treat you as my own Granddaughters. Although, your patriarch is this man. I won’t give you any pocket money or anything similar in secret. He’ll get angry. Besides, he’s got a lot of noisy big sisters in his family I look at Jii-chan’s laughing face.
