"Forget it..." Akasaka didn't care much about Mouse Argo's family situation. It wasn't as if he couldn't afford to support them, or couldn't lend them a hand.
He was the Prime Minister of Japan. He could afford to support Mouse Argo's whole family.
Seeing that Akasaka didn't react too strongly, Mouse Argo breathed a sigh of relief. After all, her family was so large, and one look at their living conditions made it obvious how poor they were. Fortunately, Akasaka didn't look down on her.
Mouse Argo introduced Akasaka to her family as her husband. Since they had already gotten their marriage certificate, they were legally married.
Mouse Argo's parents' mouths fell wide open.
[Wait, you got married without telling your parents about something this important?]
[You just married some man so casually?]
Mouse Argo's younger brothers and sisters also formed O-shapes with their mouths. Then their eyes lit up, and they immediately crowded forward to ask for wedding candy.
One of her younger brothers said, "Hey, hey! Congratulations on the wedding! Hand over the candy!"
"You really are impossible." Mouse Argo took out a piece of candy she had casually bought from the roadside from her slightly worn, old ladies' handbag and placed it in her younger brother's hand. "Here, take it."
Her younger brother was clearly satisfied. He grabbed the candy and ran into the house.
The other younger brothers and sisters watched the scene with red-rimmed eyes. Their eyes were genuinely reddening; they all wanted candy too.
Mouse Argo hurriedly waved her hands. "There's no more, really. I only bought this one piece."
Akasaka sighed. "Then I'll go buy some more."
Akasaka put on his shoes and went out to buy candy again.
Since he had married her, Akasaka couldn't look down on her for being poor.
