"I'm back."

Evening.

After the sun went down, Alisa went home.

I haven't heard back.

Of course, not everyone is home.

Elyssa walks slowly to the dining kitchen with a slightly heavier step.

My adoptive mother, Emi Tenjo, was just in the middle of washing dishes in the kitchen.

"I'm back.... Eumi-san"

Usually it is Alisa's job to cook dinner.

It is not particularly decided, but it is customary for Ai Lisha to make it.

However, I came home late for dinner with Yustring today.

That's why beauty rarely cooked dinner.

Of course, Erisa refused beforehand.....

Still a little heavy.

Meanwhile, Elizabeth called out to her, and while washing the dishes, she did not turn around and replied.

"Oh, welcome home.... you're home quite late."

Quickly, the disgust came flying.

Alisa replied with her heart in mind that it was troublesome.

"Yes... I'm sorry for the inconvenience."

"No, I don't think it's bothering you.... you're busy, right? A lot of things."

"... yes"

It's an inclusive way of saying it.

Nevertheless, Elizabeth flushed her words appropriately, learning that she would return several times if she had a legitimate opponent or objected.

"Now then, I'm going to...."

In an attempt to get back to her room and go to bed early, Alisa tries to leave.

Against such Aisha, Emi threw a word.

"Ah, yes... please wash your dirty body before you go to bed. Besides, I don't want to put dirty underwear in the same washing machine."

The intention was clear around limiting it to “underwear” rather than "dirty clothes”.

She thinks that Erisa “slept” with Yushi.

"... yes, I understand."

However, I don't know if I really feel that way from the bottom of my heart because I don't like it, and it doesn't matter.

Therefore, it is useless to correct it.

And....

(Well... it doesn't make much sense to correct it.)

If the relationship with Yu String is misunderstood, I would like to deny it too.....

It's not so wrong.

As they say, Alisa goes to the bathroom and takes a shower.

"That guy... he's grown up..."

To be honest, Alisa's aversion to picturesque beauty was overwhelming.

They would have said something worse a while ago.

The sharpness of the picturesque “word knife” was clearly falling.

Perhaps the background is that Yu String and Aisha are doing well.

I don't suppose the strings are under a lot of pressure....

But it is true that his family name serves as a shield to protect Elizabeth.

(... I'm sorry you just helped me)

I think I got a very expensive present at Christmas.

When I was asked if I could return what I deserved, I couldn't be sure with confidence.

Of course, you might say Yu String doesn't need to give back.....

(As a human being... I don't want to be corrupt...)

If you keep relying on it, it will definitely corrupt.

I didn't want to be the only one who had a nice lover.

Now, Alisa, who got out of the shower, quickly wiped her body, changed into her bedclothes, and dried her hair.

Exit the dressing room and go to your room.

Elizabeth's room was originally renovated as a storage room.

This is a very bad treatment for Alisa.....

Rather, the reason is that the “third child” was irregular for the Tenjo and his wife.

Although it is more than a middle-class family, there is not enough money like the Takase River or the Orange family, so I could not afford to build another children's room for Alisa.

Even though it was a storage room, the structure of insulation and the like remained unchanged compared to other rooms, and the heating and cooling were decent, so there was no particular dissatisfaction with Elyssa.

Walking down the hallway....

"Eisa... you're back."

"Yes, a little while ago."

I met my cousin Daishang Tenjo.

Now he's coming home from college on spring break.

(I wonder if you can go home soon....)

Originally, Erisa didn't have a very good impression of Dae-xiang.....

Ever since I found out he was behind the incident that his classmate had been involved in, the impression has fallen apart.

Go home to your college apartment.

And I think about it every day.

Of course, I don't put it in my mouth.

"Today... I heard it was a marathon, but it was too late."

"That's right. Is there a problem?

Alisa replied in a cold voice.

That's how Dae-xiang noticed that Alisa was in a bad mood.

"No... I'm sorry. You heard something insensitive."

……

Alisa blurted without thinking.

He was upset... apparently because he was making a strange mistake.

Somehow, Alisa felt uncomfortable.

"Nothing really happened with Yuji."

"I see... then, that's fine..."

I didn't seem to have solved any misunderstandings.

The troubled Alisa tried to cut the conversation early and return to her room.....

"Alisa!... well, I'll help you as much as I can!

He grabbed my arm and said that.

"... what are you talking about?

"So... that's it."

Dae-xiang distorted his expression slightly spicy but....

I looked straight at Alisa and answered.

"It's about the engagement... I can't believe he has to do what he says...."

In a moment, Elyssa felt blood on her head.

"Would you please stop saying bad things about Yuji?

There was an unexpected loud voice.

When she saw the dazzling Daxiang, Erisa became a hacker.

"... I'm sorry."

Lower your head lightly and head to your room to escape.

Then....

Fighting is unusual.

A girl stood in front of her room.

A girl who hits her sister-in-law, Alisa's cousin.

It's Tenjo Mei.

"Ah... Mei-chan.... did you interrupt your study?

"No, I was just playing on my phone, so I'm fine. Ahh... please don't tell your mother."

The game lasts an hour a day.

That was the family rule that Tenjo made.

She hates games.

It is because of the family policy of the Tenjo family that Aisha has never played much games.

But... even if you can manage your console, you don't have a complete picture of the games you play on your mobile phone, which is a communication device.

So Meiko, who had good guidelines, stole her mother's eyes and used to play mobile games.

On the contrary, it seems that if you secretly ask your father for a small amount of money, he will miss it.

She had a dexterity that could not be imitated by Alisa.

And I need to talk to Alisa for a second.

"... talk to me?

"Yes, well, about the engagement."

Unexpectedly, Alisa forced her expression to stretch.

Ignoring such Aisha, Meiji proceeds with the conversation by herself.

"As a matter of fact, I received a consultation from your father... if the engagement between Eiisa and Takase River is broken, I feel like I can ask for a replacement. Ah... no, of course, it was a more considerate way of saying it."

Alisa's head turned pure white.

But I managed to narrow down the words.

"Well, that's... uh, uh... what do you mean?

"If only, if Eiisa-san or Takasegawa-san or both of them disliked each other and the dark clouds set in during the engagement... it would be a tentative story. That's the second alternative."

In Mei's words, Erisa stroked down her chest.

Apparently, it's not like the engagement broke up.

(Ah... speaking of which...)

Naoki, my adoptive father, said, "You really don't like engagement, do you? Erisa remembered that she had been asked.

In contrast, Elizabeth... was unable to give a clear answer.

Because I didn't know what the intention was.

I wanted to say no immediately.....

I was a little scared that Naoki wanted me to say yes.

That's why I ran into the passive, unanswered “run”.

Naoki said, "I wish you could answer me later," but then I didn't have the opportunity to talk to you, so I stayed unanswered.

"... I see. Um, what about Mei-chan?

"I don't want to marry Mr. Takase. I've never face-to-face either.... and I want to take over your father's job."

Sometimes Dae-xiang didn't like Naoki - strictly speaking, Dae-xiang hated Naoki unilaterally - but he went to a department that had little to do with Naoki's company.

His willingness to take over the company is weak, and Naoki does not want to be forced to take over.

In contrast, Meiji seemed willing to inherit quite a bit.

However, since she is still in sixth grade, I don't know how to fall.

Really?

Alisa caressed her chest.

Whatever Naoki's intentions are, only Aisha can marry Yustring while saying he doesn't like Mei.

"Well, but... just because I married Takasegawa-san doesn't mean I can't take over the company."

"... eh?

"I've never met him in person, but as far as the photos are concerned... I thought he was very cool. Oniisama has a bad personality - well, oniisama has a bad reputation, but that's a minority opinion - so it doesn't seem like it."

And Mei smiled slightly.

"Above all, you're rich. Well, if you don't like Erisa-san... you're not stingy. Of course, I met him in person and talked to him."

And Mei asked about the stunned Aisha.

"So, what do you really think about marrying Takasegawa?

Elyssa couldn't answer Mei's question immediately.

If Meiko is willing to get engaged to Yu String and Naoki thinks Meiko is more suitable than Aisha.....

At least Alisa didn't have the courage to say no.

"Um... what about Mei-chan?

Yes, but I can't say no.

For this reason, Alisa chose to “escape” by returning the question with a question.

"I'm the one who's asking. Or rather, as I told you earlier....."

Mei had a stunning expression.

Mei Yue sighed at Aisha, who shut her mouth.

"Well, that's good.... marriage is a long way off, and I think it's strange to give an answer right now. I'm going to have to decide my future partner this year, too."

However, it's better to make sure you show your will for the status quo.

However, as long as it feels like “either way”, it's a different story.

That said, Mei left the scene.

The remaining Alisa entered her room silently and closed the door.

And....

"... Yu Chon-san"

He leaned his back on the door to ask for help and murmured the name of his beloved.
