"Oh, you don't get it. Look how well those two get along. I haven't seen him this happy in ages."
At those words, Moriarty looked over at Philia too. Seeing her playing with the other two children, her smile positively radiant, he couldn't help feeling a flicker of affection. After all, his love for Zoe extended to her family, and this was her little sister.
"That's not for me to decide. It depends on whether Philia wants to."
"Auntie Lisa, whether I want to what?"
Hearing her name, Philia immediately picked up on it and asked.
"Nothing, Philia. Auntie is discussing grown-up things with the older boys and girls," Moriarty explained kindly.
"What are grown-up things?" Philia asked, blinking her big eyes.
Moriarty had no idea how to explain.
"Hey! Come on, Lisa, let me toast you! If I can down five cups, how about agreeing to betroth Philia to Leo?"
"Pfft!" Yasuo, who had secretly taken the cup beside Connie to sneak a drink, spat out the wine.
"Wh-what?" Yasuo's face flushed.
"Betrothed? To Leo?" Philia glanced back at Yasuo, tilting her head in confusion.
Seeing how adorable she looked, Yasuo felt his heart pound wildly. His face turned almost purple.
"Leo, what's wrong? Why is your face so red?"
Philia leaned close to Yasuo, their faces almost touching. Her big, gemlike eyes set his heart racing.
With that, Chen Si picked up his wine and started drinking cup after cup.
Moriarty's eyelids twitched at the sight. This was potent liquor from the Mid-East. What a drunkard.
"Older Bro... Mr. Charns! Stop drinking! It's bad for you!"
Mikasa hurried over to stop him.
"It's fine! If I can find a good family for my Leo to marry into, it'll be worth it even if I drink myself to death
