O miai shitakunakattanode muri nandaina joken o tsuketara dokyusei ga kita kudan ni tsuite

A few days after the Summer Festival, the inner city hall.

Two people sat on their hips at a tavern counter.

One is a gentle man with blue eyes and dark hair.

Kazuya Takase.

He is the father of Yucho and the contemporary master of the Takase River family.

The other is a dark-haired, uncomfortable man with amber eyes.

Orange Tiger Nozouke.

He is the uncle of Ayaka and the contemporary owner of the Tangerine family (he calls himself the “proxy”).

The two of you have an empty glass.

It looks like a lot of alcohol is already around.

"Speaking of which, I heard rumors of the wind. Waya"

Toranosuke called Kazuya by his name.

Like Yu String and Ayaka are close, they are also in a close relationship.

In a private setting, to the extent that they call each other by name.

Hmm, gossip. Is that... a good rumor? Is that a gift of everyday practice? "

"Sure, it could be a gift of everyday practice. Well... I've heard a bad rumor."

The bartender puts the cocktail on the counter silently.

Toranosuke and Waya grab the glass and carry the liquor to their mouths.

"Takase River bought a woman with gold."

"... fufufu"

Waya did not affirm or deny the words of Toranosuke.

But slightly narrower.

Toranosuke seems to despise such a calm, but he blames only his eyes with laughter.

"If you need my help, give me my daughter. It's as dirty as ever. Takase River."

"You don't sound good, do you?... the order is reversed. I made a loan to support my son's family. I don't want you to get over that."

Then Waya lightly turns the glass containing the cocktail.

"And whether this marriage works or not... I intend to continue my business with Naoki Tenjo."

"Hmm...."

"He has something he doesn't have at home.... I don't want to be an outdated family."

The Takase River.

Rather, it can be said to the entire Japanese economy.....

The IT industry is lagging behind overseas.

Naoki Tenjo has the ability to carry it to the Takase River.

At least Kazuya decided so.

That's why we invested so much capital.

"It may just look like that because I'm a parent, but Yu String has reached the point as a man. That's why I don't have any trouble marrying her. There is no reason to pay the money. You know what I mean?

It's business, it's money.

Naoki Tenjo's assistance was determined to yield a large return to the Takase River family in the future.

Absolutely not the “purchase price” of Alisa.

The Takase River family is not a part of human trafficking.

Waya insists while drinking alcohol.

"That's why, isn't it?

"... what are you trying to say? Toranosuke"

"You insisted on sending hostages because you didn't want the golden tree to go anywhere else, did you?

"I hate to say this, but you..."

Waya picked the chocolate served as a dish.

"All I asked for was a“ proof of trust. "And it's a“ proof of trust ”from me. It's a mutual agreement. Naoki Tenjo liked to have a kinship with us. Both have advantages."

More than making huge loans, it would be a huge loss to escape.

And for Tenjo, I want to avoid being sucked up by the Takase River and thrown away by technology and knowledge.

That's why Tenjo and Takase River offered their precious children to both sides.

In other words, economic interests - support and loans to Tenjo - are not the main purpose, but political interests - the announcement that Naoki Tenjo will be under the umbrella of the Takase River - are the main purpose.

Kazuya explains that to Toranosuke....

"That's a trick. Think about power relationships. You guys are as good as ever, just the mouth."

"Hah... I didn't expect you to understand me after all these words. Don't you see how the Orange Moneyman interacts with these humane houses?"

In fact, Naoki Tenjo's engagement with Aisha would be very grateful.

This is proof that the Takase River attaches great importance to Tenjo.

Especially... the power relationship between the two families is obvious.

Even if both were convinced, as Toranosuke did - although he is not really saying it simply because he is stubborn - some believe that the Takase River threatened with money and power.

But you can let me say it on my own.

Originally, there were many enemies in the Takase River family.

It is impossible to get along with everyone in the world.

That's why we have to split it there.

"But there's something that bothers you."

"Hmm, where's the question?

"Why did you choose a daughter with no blood connection? There would have been another daughter in Tenjo. And my son."

Naoki Tenjo has a bloody daughter and son in addition to Erisa Yuki.

Whether it's a hostage or a “proof of trust”....

Blood is more functional than blood is not.

"This is the only talk I've got."

Hmm.

"At first, it was planned to be the daughter of the... blood-connected person in Tenjo."

As for the Takase River, it is decided whether it is connected with blood or not, and if asked which one to want, it is decided whether it is connected with blood.

Even if it's a castle, it's too rude for the Takase river to bleed out those who are not connected to blood.

It is only natural that a daughter with a blood connection should be chosen.

"However, she was still in sixth grade.... Yu String definitely hates it."

Well, sure.

"Am I right? That's why I was thinking about leaving more time behind.... Yu String smelled like," I have a story about friendship, "and he was going to step on the stage and bowl it at the right time."

Specifically, about four years later.

It was the original plan to have Tenjo's daughter meet when she turned fifteen and Yuji turned nineteen.

"Hmm, so... what's rushing you? No way. Orange and continental deal?

"Well, I'm aware of that, too. The biggest reason is different."

"... what's that?

Waya didn't answer that question immediately.....

I slowly tasted the cocktail.

And she said with a slightly flushed face with alcohol.

"Son in love."

"... hah?

What's he talking about?

Toranosuke leaned his neck.

I explained Kazuya to Toranosuke.

"Originally, Yu Chong and Irisa-san... I mean, I knew that the daughter who wasn't connected to Tenjo's blood was in the same class."

"Hmm... so?

"If Yu String were to smell the story of friendship..." I'm not engaged to a blonde, blue-eyed girl! What did I say? "

……

Alisa Snowcastle is not blonde.

But the hair type is close to the blond hair and the color of the eyes is close to the blue eye.

And above all, a beautiful girl.

Yu string of the same class as her said, "Blonde blue eyes are good."

This means....

"I'm convinced you don't like dating. My son already liked someone."

It is no exaggeration to say that it is referring to Elyssa itself.

Yuji insisted that she would not marry unless it was Elyssa.

I see, that's what I meant when I went across the ship.

"Well, that's the thing. As for me, I want to support my son's love."

The connection between the Takase River and Tenjo is meant to strengthen the connection... Conversely, it is no more or less.

So there is no reason why we should be bound by direct blood ties.

However, it would be difficult for the Takase River to be adopted officially before entering into marriage and become Airisa Tenjo.

But it's good after a formal engagement.

It's still tentative.

You don't have to hurry.

"By the way, what do you think of Naoki Tenjo? As for him... isn't it more convenient for his real daughter?

If you want to strengthen your connection, it's normal to want to give your real daughter to your daughter-in-law.

The Takase River family is one of the most prestigious in the country.

A daughter who is connected with blood, a daughter who is not connected....

Normally, you will love the former, and you will want to have a good connection with the former.

"He was happy. The Takase River family would feel safe."

"Hmm... do you mean you don't want to let your wife out because your real daughter is cuter?

"Come on... that's all."

Waya shrugged her shoulders.

I can't even get into Tenjo's home environment.

No, I'm not interested.

For Waya, Alisa's position in the family is not so important.

The only thing I'm interested in is the next leader of Tenjo.....

Not even that affects a lot of people.

If Tenjo's successor is capable, we can continue the relationship as it is.

If you're incompetent, you can use your bonded kinship to take it away.

Because Yuji Takase River and the son of Ailisa Tenjo have the right to inherit the inheritance of Tenjo.

Calm, calm and cold blood.

That's Kazuya Takase, no, public appreciation of the Takase River family.

"What about the people at stake? The daughter of Tenjo... Was it Erisa, Yuki Castle? If she hated your son, it wouldn't be a story."

"Well, that's right. I want to welcome as a family a woman who loves her son."

Kazuya does not deny political marriage.

Rather, it is positively affirmed.

But I didn't want to impersonate a relationship.

If civil strife breaks out within the family, there will be significant damage.

I don't want a spark of strife.

If Ai Lisha at Snow Castle hates Yu String from the bottom of her heart.....

We'll have to give up.

But.....

"From my eyes, you two seem to know each other. I hope you two get married... and show me your lovely grandchildren."

"Even with you, do you like it?"

"Of course. Good personality and weight. I'm not retarded either. Good cooking. You can also put up strings. My wife is the best person to welcome me to the Takase River."

Waya said that in a good mood.

And because you're drunk... your mouth starts slipping slightly.

"She feels like she's going to have a healthy baby."

"Don't say that directly? Unless you want your stepdaughter to hate you."

"I know. But your grandson's never been cute, has he? Grandchild, grandchild... we're almost there, grandpa..."

"Grandson, huh? I don't have any kids. I'm not interested."

Toranosuke snorted.

He has no children because he is not married.

Well... there's a subnight incense of his dead brother's daughter, so there's no need to worry about losing orange blood.

"You will have a lovely niece.... so, what's going on? Ayaka, Kaminishi's daughter, and Soichiro...."

"Hah... don't listen to me."

"Looks like your rattling hasn't been cleared yet."

Waya was in a good mood for Toranosuke's tired expression.

Yu String's relationship with Erisa seems to be going well, so I guess he feels like his shoulders have fallen first.

"The Takase River has nothing to do with this. It would have been simpler if your son had grown up and been engaged to Kamizaki."

"Didn't I just tell you we can't enforce it? I decided to expect Yuji's children to repair their relationship with Kaminishi."

Hmm, that was selfish.

"It's you, isn't it? If you had a child, whether you were a son or a daughter, you could have Ayaka as your wife. [M] Satake, my house, other houses. Well, let's move on."

Orange's heir is the incense of the night.

"You're so stubborn... and so are you."

"Whatever."

Until late that night.

The two kept drinking.
