Episode 30 “Fiancée” and Required Expenses
A week or so from Halloween.
On that day, a third national trial was held.
After the trial, Yuji and Irisa were self-graded in the apartment.
"If you keep trying like this, you'll be really tired...."
Alisa, who finished her self-grading, grew a lot.
Since there was just another test called a high difficulty simulation less than two weeks ago, there were two consecutive tests in a month.
I had a halloween breath on the way....
That's how Alisa looks tired.
"But, well... first of all, that's it. The simulation."
"That's right.... why don't you take a breath and go outside next Saturday?
I mean, an invitation to a date.
Recently, there have been study groups called "Home Dates”, so I am very much in favour of going out to play.
It's just....
Well, actually, I had to talk to you.
"Is this a consultation?
"Ah... Rainbow, can I come with my sister?
Erisa rounded her eyes at Yu's suggestion.
The story goes back to last night.
Yes, hello.
Niisan, it's me!
"Am I a fraud?
Takasegawa Ayumi, it's a Takase river colored bow!!
What is it, a rainbow?
What is it? I'm calling on my phone, you know that!
Plumpy, angry rainbow across the phone.
Of course, Yucho is joking, and the colored bow pretends to be angry with the joke.
Because I am a brother and sister, this kind of tea is everyday.
"So, what does it look like?... Tomorrow and Saturday I have an experiment."
It's Saturday, but I have to go to school and take an exam.
It's a little strange to take an off-campus exam on campus.
"Were you studying?
"Oh, I'm studying. Please be brief."
I want to go to the city center next Saturday and Sunday to buy clothes.
"I want you to come with me as an escort and luggage, is that it?
Yeah, half of them.
My brothers and sisters are in that good category, and I have been with her shopping many times as a guardian of a rainbow, as a luggage carrier.
The same is true even after Yuji started living alone.
But... what does half mean?
The string tilts its neck.
"What about the other half?
"Niisan, you don't know anything about girls' clothes, do you?
"You can tell if it's cute or not."
But you don't know the fashion or the brand.
I certainly don't know the brand of feminine objects.
Because I'm not interested.
I know a little bit about watches and suit brands because I'm interested.
And I want you to come too, Irisa-san.
"To Elyssa?
"Look, isn't it time to really want winter clothes? Alisa is also a girl, and I think she feels the same way as me. I want to go shopping with you as we deepen our friendship."
I see.
Nevertheless, I just received a coat payment from Alisa recently.
I'm worried about whether she can afford it.
Well, let me ask you something.
Nice to meet you. I love you, brother. "
"Yes, yes, I love you too."
"Well, that happened."
I see.
After hearing the explanation from Yushi, Alisa nodded convincingly.
And nodded small.
That's fine.
"... is the money okay?
Yuji doesn't know how much money Aisha receives.
But you probably didn't get that much.
The Takase River family thought that "clothes, cosmetics, writing equipment, textbooks are outside pocket money", so the colored bows should pay for clothes from their parents.
When you go shopping for a rainbow, Alisa's wallet will dry up.
"In my home, allowances are not per month, but by purpose and purpose."
"By purpose?
"For example... I feel I can get a quarterly sum for clothes that need to be replaced regularly. At the time of the date, it feels like... every time. So I went to buy clothes with Yuji and my sister, and I told my adoptive father... I don't know if I can get them separately from the clothes, but I dared to pay for the clothes in winter recently, so I feel warm."
For a long time, Yuji had doubts about the financial situation of Elizabeth.
For example, she said, "I've never bought a soap that feels a little expensive," but she wore fashionable clothes for that.
And I've never seen you hesitate at a movie theater or a meal when you're dating.
Do you have any pocket money... or not?
I thought so, but the question was solved by the words of Alisa now.
Perhaps Aisha's adoptive father intends to raise Aisha so as not to be disadvantaged.
I will pay for the date with Yu String properly, and I will also pay for clothes.
But... her foster father, a man, doesn't have the idea of "getting caught up in soap".
In addition to soap, there are a lot of such things.
As for Ai Lisha, there is a strong sense of inferiority in the situation where people around him have such things but not just himself, and although it is a kind of complex, he is not forced to pay his adoptive father to buy it because it is not a necessity.
I see.... so I guess it's more like you. "
If the pocket money is paid for by purpose, Alisa's nostalgia will not hurt.
Rather, the purpose is to provide a reason for Alisa to be paid, so it is a "bargain”.
"That's right.... that would cause trouble for my adoptive father."
She said with a slightly sorry expression.
In the first place, it was the adoptive father who forced the engagement and marriage, and because it is a necessary expense, I don't think that Elyssa should be reluctant.....
I'm sure she'll still care.
"Never mind.... because your engagement with me is making a lot of profit for your foster father."
"... but you're not married yet, are you? Is it profitable in this situation?
The word "still” caught me a little, but I dared not hear it.
On top of that, I answered Elizabeth's question.
"It looks like my parents have already invested a considerable amount in a company run by your adoptive father. Well... the investment story seems to have existed before my engagement with you, but since the investment amount increased after the engagement, it will be somewhat affected."
In fact, the fact that my adoptive father's aim was to come under the umbrella of the Takase River rather than gold would be appreciated by the surroundings.
Yujin's engagement with Aisha is not officially announced, but the information must leak somewhere, and Yujin's father is acting on the premise that the information of the engagement will leak in the first place... No, he will be actively leaking and smelling it.
By doing so, it is known that Tenjo has entered the Takase River's umbrella.
And Tenjo should be asking for a loan by letting them know that they are under the umbrella of the Takase River.
If Tenjo was alone, he would step on two feet, but if he knew there was a Takase River behind him, many people would spit out gold.
Yushi was also concerned about the movement of money, but... not only those involved in the Takase River, but also around Orange, Kaminishi, and Sabaku, from a fairly early stage - specifically before they bowled with their three sons in the pool - it was a small amount, but they were moving the money.
... well, people around here might be connected somewhere by following the family tree.
That kind of network has already been built.
If Yuji's parents smell the engagement story to Takase River branches and blood relatives, it is natural that the information spreads quickly.
"In other words, even if you and I don't get married in the future, even if it's not a formal engagement but a temporary one... the fact alone makes your adoptive father quite profitable.... well, I guess that's why it's good. Even if I say a little..., I don't know the detailed financial situation of Tenjo, and I can't say anything irresponsible."
It is not an equation that the management of the company is inclined and the household income is inclined.
That would never be the case if we were to say that the company's cash flow was not good and that the Tenjo family's cash flow would soon improve.
"... that's right. If you think about it, it's a necessary expense. I don't want to waste money."
That said, Alisa smiled slightly.
Dining expenses to get along with your fiancée's sister are a necessary expense and it is a natural right to charge for them.
The guilt seemed to have diminished slightly.
"... that's right. I think you're right."
But isn't that supposed to mean that you and I are getting married?
Though Yu String thought with his heart, he hit the appropriate gavel.
