Chapter 324

"Sorry we came so suddenly, did we disturb you? We'll be leaving now, have fun!"

Sakurakoji Luna concealed her true feelings and prepared to leave the place to the young people to handle their business.

"No! That's not true! We've already finished eating. If it's alright, please stay, Uncle and Aunt. I have a lot of questions I'd like to ask them!"

Kogisora Yukina waved her hand and shook her head, offering her a seat.

"If possible, please be sure to..."

Touma Kazusa also said this in her deep, magnetic voice, devoid of emotion.

"Is it okay? I'm not forcing you, am I?"

Okura Yusei looked at them again.

"Well, since you're already here, come on in."

Seeing that they weren't too resistant, Sakurakoji Talent took the opportunity to invite them in.

"Then I'll have to bother you."

After making way for them to enter, Kogisora Yukina whispered in his ear, "Talent-kun, you call your parents 'Father' and 'Mother'? That's so aristocratic!"

"I think 'Father, Mother' sounds more aristocratic."

"Who knows? I don't think either of those things would be something we ordinary citizens would say."

Touma Kazusa squinted, hesitatingly asking, "And that person in the back with such imposing height, what are they wearing...?"

"A maid?"

Kogisora Yukina picked up the conversation, and the two of them looked at him strangely.

The implication was clearly. "Why do you even have maids in your house?"

"Talent-kun, your family is indeed a true aristocrat, isn't it?"

Kogisora Yukina a mournful cry, covering her eyes with her hands. "Now that I think about it, your surname does indeed have a very aristocratic feel to it."

"... Is this important?"

He didn't want to talk about it any further and quickly walked away.

"Mother, Father, I've prepared tea and snacks for you. What would you like to drink?"

"Young Master! Leave that to me!"

Yashiro Ichiyo quickly stopped him to prevent him from taking his job.

"..."

Meanwhile, Touma Kazusa, who were somewhat apprehensive, also reluctantly returned.

"Please sit down, ladies. If you don't mind, I'd like to have a chat with you."

Sakurakoji Luna extended her hand in invitation.

"Hi..."

X 2.

Two hours later.

"We've been very kind of you today, we'll take our leave now!"

"I apologize for any inconvenience caused."

Kogisora Yukina and her companion walked towards the entrance, turned back, gave a slight bow, and bid farewell to the group.

Although they were still trying to control themselves, after a gentle and pleasant conversation, both of them relaxed a lot.

"No, I had a very pleasant time talking with you both today. Please come again next time if you have the chance!"

"Yes!"

Thank you for your kindness.

"Then I'll see you off."

Sakurakoji Talent also got up and followed.

Halfway there, he remembered something, went back to the cabinet on the side, took out a few CDs from the stack, and put them in a bag.

Inside the elevator.

Here, the CD you wanted.

He handed it to Touma Kazusa.

"Oh, oh, thank you."

She had completely forgotten about it.

"My uncle and aunt are both very gentle and kind, not at all pretentious, completely different from my family!"

Kogisora Yukina stuck out her tongue and summarized in a low voice.

"No, that's not true. At least your aunt is still very gentle, right? Your uncle is a little serious, but it's alright."

He refuted this.

Hehe~

She didn't deny it, and stood with her hands behind her back, smiling, "But it was really surprising! Not only were they all very young, but they also didn't have that serious and cold feeling they have in TV dramas at all!"

"Ah~ Ah~ I was so nervous at first!"

"I must say, no wonder they have parents who could raise Talent-kun."

Sakurakoji Talent nodded in agreement. Yes, it really is that good.

No matter how rebellious he was, he had to admit that his parents were indeed rare and precious creatures in the world.

Not only does she love her child dearly, but she also takes care of everything personally, rarely gets angry, and you can discuss any issues with her. Her family's circumstances are also perfect... It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that she combines all the advantages of every family.

"I really wish my mother could learn from this."

Touma Kazusa shrugged, a mixture of helplessness and envy on her face.

If you were to ask her to evaluate Touma Yoko, she could only say that aside from giving her freedom and money, her education was utterly terrible.

It's just that she's easygoing and not very interested in these things; otherwise... she would at least have asked who her biological father is.

All I can say is that Ebizuka Tomo's experience was nothing to her—she had seen enough of that since she was a child.

Although his visit had eased her relationship with her mother somewhat, two years of cold war were not so easily reversed.

"Aunt Yoko... well, never mind, you can handle it yourselves."

Sakurakoji Talent sighed, his brow furrowed, unsure what to say.

Should we ask Touma Yoko to pay more attention to her? What if she takes Touma Kazusa to Vienna ahead of time?

We can't just ask her to give up her thriving career and return to China now, can we?

Although she will probably come back to retire in about six years... but that's a matter for the future.

I wonder if getting checked and recuperating beforehand could have prevented it from worsening to that extent—leukemia.

"Alright, Yukina and I will go downstairs now. You can go back now."

"Don't you need me to take it down?"

"So what if it takes an extra elevator ride? I'm not a child anymore, I won't get lost."

"And we're going shopping afterwards! Let's keep shopping until we finish dinner and have some late-night snacks before heading back!"

"Huh? You didn't say we'd be shopping for this long, Yukina!!!"

"..."

The elevator doors slowly closed, cutting off their voices.

Sakurakoji Talent tossed his hair and strode back into the house.

As soon as I got back to the living room...

"Hey~ Now you can tell me, right? Why did you suddenly decide to come over?"

He drooped his eyelids, crossed his arms, and stared at the two people on the sofa.

"It's for the reason I mentioned before~"

Okura Yusei stiffened under his gaze, completely lacking the authority of a father. "But we didn't know you'd be here."

Sakurakoji Luna, leaning against the armrest with one hand, casually reclined and looked at him with interest. "So you went out this morning just to see these two ladies?"

"... Not entirely. I went to find them after I had met with the people on the other side."

He avoided looking at her small feet clad in Black Stockings and found an empty seat to sit down.

Old woman! How old are you? Still Black Stockings!

"You're really busy..."

She opened her eyes in surprise, casting an admiring glance at him, then twirled her silver hair with her hand and casually asked, "These two are also capable?"

"Um,"

He didn't deny it, saying, "How else could I have gotten to know so many people in such a short time?"

"..."

The two fell silent. The reason he was working so hard was precisely because it showed how much he wanted to get rid of his current situation as soon as possible.

Even if he didn't say it explicitly, it still stung them.

"No, but those two young ladies were very well-mannered and beautiful; they seemed like very good children!"

Okura Yusei steered the conversation back to the two people from before, smiling and praising them.

Is that so...?

He thought of Touma Kazusa, that Delinquent Girl, and felt a strange mix of emotions.

If they knew her "achievements," they might not think that way anymore, right?

"That's absolutely right! I have to admit, Talent, your judgment is quite good. It seems we don't need to worry about the future character of our family members!"

Sakurakoji Luna breathed a sigh of relief, feeling somewhat at ease.

"That's why I already said it..."

He was slightly speechless, then asked about something else, "You didn't sleep well last night, did you? Are you okay?"

"It's okay. We went for a nap after you left this morning and didn't get up until noon."

"Hmph~ So what about Mahiru and Ai?"

"Mahiru-chan is still at the mansion. Miss Ai seems to have gone out to work—just in case, we said we were going out to visit a friend, so we didn't take her with us..."

At this point, Okura Yusei lowered his head and covered his heart, feeling somewhat guilty.

Lying to innocent and adorable children is truly painful.

But this is better than letting the child meet a potential "love rival" and aggravate her inner unease.

"Is that so!"

With just one sentence, Sakurakoji Talent understood what had happened and looked away somewhat guiltily.

Making your elderly parents act and lie with you... Emmm...

"Ah, that's right!"

Okura Yusei clenched his fist and looked at Yashima standing to the side, "Ichiyo, you said Talent recently hired a few new maids, right?"

Sakurakoji Talent's body jolted; he had a bad feeling.

"Hi~! Although we hired quite a few staff members after the Young Master and young lady returned to take care of things at the apartment, there are three young ladies who were personally hired by the Young Master as maids."

Sakurakoji Talent covered her face with her Hands beforehand, too ashamed to face anyone.

What should we do? Are they here today to check the relationship table?

"Hey, son~ those three ladies are also here?"
