One day.
Suddenly Yuki sent me an email saying, "I want to talk, so please tell me a convenient time."
After finishing dishwashing, Alisa said, "It's fine now," and immediately called.
It was an invitation to the summer festival.
So, what do you think? I don't have a ticket this time, and I have a suggestion like Dad's. I have business to attend to, so I can refuse. "
Unlike the time of the pool, summer festivals are limited to specific times of the day.
So, at that time, there's an excuse that I can't take it off...
"Is it a summer festival... can you see fireworks?
Nevertheless, festivals are less psychological hurdles than pools.
And if you can see beautiful fireworks, I'm a little interested.
"Ahh... I can see it. That's the scale."
I haven't seen anything like a summer festival in years.
Maybe since I was in elementary school.
Well then, I'll leave it at the invitation.
"Thank you... and my sister and mother want to see you, okay?
"Ah, yes. I understand."
After deciding where and when to meet, Alisa hung up.
Then I'll go back to the living room for a report.
Who are you talking to?
Her adoptive father was the first to ask her that.
Naoki.
I didn't even try to spread the newspaper and face Ai Lisha... but it was a strong tone that I wouldn't let him say.
"I'm Yuji Takase.... I was hoping to come to the summer festival in a week. I was invited."
"Did you get it?
"Yes"
That's what Alisa replied... her adoptive mother, Amagi, whispered a little.
An expression of disgruntlement appeared openly.
And....
"No, hey... I noticed the color."
That's what I said.
Being Alisa's aunt, she was unwell with her sister's mother.
That's why I hate her daughter, Elizabeth.
It is the beauty of her adoptive mother who hates her, makes her mean, and occasionally raises her hand.
"I don't do that much at home....."
"I'd be in trouble if you hadn't noticed the color."
Naoki said with a cold voice.
The words silenced the beauty of the picture.
Naoki often leaves the house open for work, leaving housework and childcare to the beauty of the picture, so at first glance it seems that she is at the top of the Hierarchy.
But strangely enough, she won't defy Naoki.
"This friendship is very important for both Tenjo and Aisha. I've told you so many times..."
"... I see. Naoki-san."
However, the beauty of the picture looks dissatisfied.
Unlike Naoki, the adoptive father, Picture Mi, the adoptive mother, is in the opposite position to this relationship.
Of course, I didn't think about Elyssa.
I can't empathize with Eisa at all.....
A niece resembling her sister, who hated her, was well dressed in a wealthy house called "Takase River," and she seemed reluctant to marry a nice young man who seemed kind.
Earlier, I don't think she likes to be happy.
I don't know what happened between Erisa and her mother, but it's unreasonable for Erisa.
"Speaking of which, did you have a yukata?
Suddenly Naoki asked Alisa that.
Alisa shook her neck to the side.
"No, I don't have one"
"I didn't think you were going with your clothes."
"... shouldn't I have?"
"The son of that old, old-fashioned house. He will wear a yukata. Are you going to walk next to it in your clothes?"
Naoki said that he was stunned.
If you ask me, it's a very stupid picture.
It would be a good place to expose yourself.
As Alisa was getting smaller, Naoki stood up silently.
Then he took out his wallet from his pocket, and from there he took out five 10,000 yen bills.
I put it on the table.
"Buy it with this. Try to spend the rest on pocket money."
"Ah, thank you... thank you"
As a last resort, Alisa receives the money.
Naoki is much more afraid of Elyssa than of the beauty of her mistreatment.
Naoki does not raise his hand against Aisha, nor does he speak ill.
On the contrary, if the painting beauty is done too much, it may blame the painting beauty or cover for Alisa.
In fact, she rarely raises her hand against Aisha in front of Naoki.
But at the same time, I was almost indifferent to Elyssa.
At least it looked the same to Elizabeth.
Naoki, who is a "mighty” being in this household, is more terrifying than anyone else who has an easily understandable hatred of herself.
The fear was driven by an adult man with no blood connections at all.
"Naoki-san, it's not too sweet..."
"It's an expense."
Naoki's only concern is the reputation of his house.
Precisely because of that, I hate to have an impact on the business.
"Alisa. You're the one who wanted this."
"Yes... I understand"
Aisha was forced to pay for Yushi.
That's what I explained.
But the explanation... was just a little more convenient for Aisha herself.
Naoki, the adoptive father, said to Aisha, "I have some friendships, but why don't you take them? I only heard that.
So when we met, it was Elizabeth who answered.
Naoki was scared and couldn't say no.
While doing so, Naoki brought several friendships to Alisa.
Ai Lisha, who didn't want to get married, continued to refuse it.
From a picturesque point of view, you would have looked like a selfish and arrogant woman who preferred a man.
I can't say no more.
When I was halfway there, I finally got around with Yu Chong.
"Do well. For your own sake."
"Yes"
Are you purely saying that you are going to support Elyssa's love?
Or are you threatening to talk... that you won't have a chance?
Or are you saying it with a completely different intent?
I didn't know it was Elizabeth.
I was just scared.
