In truth, Senzaemon Nakiri had somewhat wronged Gan'an Shinomiya. If life had not forced his hand, how could the dignified head of the Shinomiya Family have been so shameless...?
Putting everything else aside, if all this had happened when the Shinomiya Family was at its peak, wouldn't they have simply offered some compensation? Would he have needed to... No, that was wrong! If this had happened during the Shinomiya Family's heyday, Gan'an Shinomiya would not have needed to answer to anyone at all!
Unfortunately, the seemingly glorious Shinomiya Family was actually like oil boiling over a blazing fire. That was only because the Doma Family had given them a hand from behind the scenes; otherwise, the Shinomiya Family's situation would likely have been far worse than it was now...
What was more, although the Doma Family's support had resolved the Shinomiya Family's immediate crisis, it had only given them a chance to catch their breath. Having to compensate the Nakiri Family under such circumstances would be no different from tightening the rope that had only just been loosened from the Shinomiya Family's neck. Catch their breath, my ass!
Thus, even if Gan'an Shinomiya had to throw away his old face, he had to follow Senzaemon Nakiri's lead, leaving the other party no chance to refute him—or to take the opportunity to demand compensation.
"Oh?" Fortunately, as a member of Totsuki... well, although Sogo Doma had already left Totsuki, Totsuki still cooperated with the Doma Family, so he said, "But Totsuki also poured its heart and soul into training Azami Nakiri..."
"Indeed..." Hearing this, Senzaemon Nakiri, who had been put on the spot, hurriedly said, "To my shame, this old man expended great effort training that foolish son-in-law of mine..."
Gan'an Shinomiya: "..."
Whose side was that brat from the Doma
