"I wonder if you will accept my confession, Airisa. ......

Yuzuru suddenly starts to say weak things.

Soichiro and Sei give appropriate words of encouragement to such Yuzuru.

'For all intents and purposes, Yukishiro-san likes you, right?

"Even to my eyes, it looks like a goofy love affair.

I know, ...... No, I know that.

Yugen sighs as he rolls his fork around Aario Aurios.

"Doesn't that mean you're really engaged to me ...... and we'll get married in the future?

That means you will be married into the Takasegawa family.

And the Takasegawa family is no ordinary family, at least not in the ordinary way.

Doesn't it sound like a hassle?

"Well, it sounds like a lot of work: ......

And you've got money. You'll be glad you did.

It was Soichiro who agreed with Yugen's concerns, and it was Sei who rejected them.

There appears to be no reason to refuse, as it would be a so-called "ball game" for Airisa.

'I mean, is marriage a prerequisite? I don't mind if we leave the marriage behind and just be lovers.

Soichiro's words are clearly answered by Yuzuru.

I want to marry Airisa ...... no, I will definitely do it.

Then, why not?

What's bothering you?

"No, ...... I'm not worried about anything else.

I'm not sure if I'll ever see him again.

I'm not going to be able to get the same name as Takasegawa," he said, "but I don't want to be a Takasegawa surname. ...... If she says, "I don't want to be a Takasegawa surname," then I'm going to appeal to the good points of Takasegawa and have her become a Takasegawa Airisa no matter what.

I'm not worried about it, because that's why I'm not worried.

But I'm just worried about it.

I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make it work for you. ...... Worst case scenario, you can just go out like Soichiro.

No......

Yugen choked up at Saint's proposal.

The latter is more important to Yugen now if he is married to the Takasegawa family's governor and Airisa ...... the latter.

Nevertheless, ......

"I was born and raised to be the ...... heir,

It's not that I am desperate for the Takasegawa family's inheritance. 

But Yugen was born to take over the Takasegawa family, and her parents gave birth to Yugen for that reason.

That is Takasegawa Yuzuru's mission, and as long as this is his life, he can't deviate from that path.

That's why Yugen wanted to do as many things as possible while she was still in high school and college to have her own free time.

That's why she didn't want to get engaged at this point in her life.

The reason is that it's a problem when you find someone you like.

''I mean, well, ...... is the heir to the Takasegawa family, so I can marry Airisa!

You guys are "fiancées," as I recall.

"The outer moat and the inner moat are buried.

I'm not sure if it's a good idea.

I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make it work.

It's a good thing I was born the eldest son of the Takasegawa family, because if I wasn't, Erisa would have been a high priestess.

But even if you are an ordinary high school student.

I'm not going to be able to say that I'm not going to be able to get the best out of him, but I'm going to be able to say that I'm not going to be able to.

I'm sure you'll find that Airisa is ...... cute.

I heard.

"I'm confident that I will do anything to be coaxed by Airisa.

"That's why I climbed the tree and fell off.

Shut up. I'll kill you.

Yugen gets angry at being dug up for his black history.

Soichiro and Sei laugh with a vague reminiscence.

The first thing that comes to mind is the fact that it's not a problem. I'm sure you have a pretty good face, and your character isn't so much garbage as it is someone else's, and you have money.

Isn't it a good property in the eyes of a woman?

And, nodded to Sei.

And Soichiro nodded in agreement with that.

I'm not sure who you are referring to when you say someone else, but ...... yugen is a good man. If I were a woman, I'd want to marry her.

The "creepy ......

"Isn't that terrible?

And, well, it's a joke to each other.

"Speaking of which, ...... frankly, are you going to take over in the future?

Soichiro asked Saint.

In other words, will Saint take over the family business of Ryozenji, or will he be the next heir? That's the question.

...... It's not that I don't want to take over, but

"No?

I'm pushing my cousin (aniki).

Ryozenji Sei is supposed to be the heir to the Ryozenji family ...... in a manner.

However, that is not an official decision.

There are other "candidates" for the heir besides him.

I'm not sure. Well, ......, I'll tell them to spare you the trouble of cracking it.

That's good to hear. We don't want to get cracked either.

Most of the time, the decline of a family is due to internal discord.

Not to mention succession disputes and disputes over the head of a family or a branch of a family.

There are also disputes between the previous head of the family and the current or next head of the family.

(...... In that sense, my father can't displease me.

For the current head of the Takasegawa family, Takasegawa Kazuya.

The biggest enemy is not a branch of the family, the Tachibana family, or political enemies.

It is Takasegawa Yuzuru.

Only Yugen is the only one who has the potential to overthrow his position.

And also for Yugen, his father is a troublesome opponent.

I'm not going to be able to go against my father as long as he has the title of the next head of the family.

(As for Airisa, though, she's not willing to give up ...... anything. You're not going to be able to get it right, but you know what I mean.

There are only two people in this world who are capable of thwarting the love between Yugen and Airisa.

It's not just a matter of time before you'll be able to get your hands on a new one.

I'm not going to be the only one who has been in a position to do that.

I'm not sure if it's a good idea, but I think it's a good idea.

It's not a matter of whether it's just a parent-child quarrel or a bloody battle, but they don't want a bloody battle to begin with.

It's not just a simple matter of a few words, it's also a matter of a few words.

"If your cousin were to take over, what would you do?

I don't know. Well, working for a ......-affiliated company is the way to go, but ......

"That's ambiguous.

Yuzuru takes over the family business.

Soichiro does not take over, but becomes the son-in-law of Tachibana.

While both of them have decided on a course of action, Sei seemed to be somewhat ambiguous.

'With all due respect, ...... ambiguity is the norm,'

Sage said that and took a bite of the chicken wings.

And then he admonishes his two friends, who are out of step with the general public, with common sense.

You are the only ones who have decided on a career, marriage partner and beyond at the age of fifteen or six.

"Well, sure,

I can't argue with that.

Yuzuru and Soichiro honestly acknowledge Sei's point.

There are relatively more people who have not yet decided on their future at the age of fifteen.

I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to say that I'm going to be able to do that.

It's not just a matter of time before you'll be able to get your hands on a new one.

I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about it. It's not really necessary to be me. It's also true that it's a perfect fit for ...... me to take over.

After saying that ...... suddenly changed the topic abruptly.

"Tomorrow Monday ...... is Valentine's Day!

Oh, yeah.

"Valentine, huh?

Last year, there were only a few people who would give Yuzuru chocolate.

Her mother and sister, and Ayaoka, who attended the same junior high school.

Of course, it's all probably in-laws.

This year, you probably won't get them from your mother or sister (no way will they deliver them to you).

You'll be able to find a lot more than just a few of them.

It's not sure about Amaka, but if she doesn't forget ...... Halloween candy, she might at least give Yugen some store-bought chocolates.

But that's not the point: ......

(What kind of chocolate would Airisa give me? ......)

Just a few.

Yugen was expecting her fiancé's chocolate, who is a good cook.
