Weekend, at the entrance of Shirakawa Sawahei’s house.
"Sorry to bother you~"
Tsukimi sakurazawa’s voice rang out just as the door opened, and Ise Yu Yuzhijin inside the door showed a happy expression, quickly saying, "Sakurazawa-chan... you all finally arrived..."
"Ah~ Little Orikin, do you dress so casually even at ho?" Tsukimi sakurazawa glanced at the lounging girl’s ho attire, slightly surprised, and said, "Doesn’t Shirakawa ever say anything about it?"
"He does... but recently he hasn’t been saying much." The lounging girl said proudly, "Maybe he’s tired of it and just can’t be bothered to say anything anymore..."
"I see... it’s like constantly dancing on the edge of Shirakawa’s patience and then slowly getting him used to it, huh? Orikin, you’re learning fast!"
"Oh dear, it’s all thanks to Sakurazawa-chan’s excellent guidance... by the way, where’s Kaori-chan?"
"She seems to be behind... Xiao Mo seems to have bumped into her..."
"I see... well, co on in then."
Tsukimi sakurazawa cheerfully peered inside and called out, "Shirakawa, I’m coming in, okay?"
There was no response from inside, and cute little Ise Yu explained, "Shirakawa said he just had to go out for sothing and told us to go ahead and have fun..."
"What? Shirakawa actually ditched us! This is a rare extracurricular activity for the Calligraphy Club... Damn, I’m going to send him a ssage to condemn him!"
"Hehe... actually, it’s not so bad that Shirakawa left, right? This tea party can just be a girls’ afternoon tea then~"
"Well... that’s not too bad... by the way, why did Shirakawa have to go out?"
"I think he said there was an impromptu filming for a sports festival promotional video with Hayakawa... huh? Sakurazawa-chan, where are you going..."
"To find my machete... Shirakawa truly is a playboy... to ditch the four chosen beauties of our Calligraphy Club for soone like Hayakawa Kashi!"
"What are you all talking about, machetes?"
Black Hearted Lolita and the invisible one appeared behind Tsukimi sakurazawa, seemingly just coming up by elevator. Seeing this, the whiny one exaggeratedly recounted Shirakawa Sawahei’s misdeeds.
"Shirakawa is too much! Next week’s club activity! We should unite and give him a hard ti!"
"But... wouldn’t Shirakawa get angry..."
"Xiao Mo! You can’t be so naive anymore! Shirakawa’s action ans that in his heart, Hayakawa Kashi is more important than the four of us!"
Miss Tachibana Tomoku thought for a mont and still hesitantly said, "Shirakawa probably didn’t an it..."
"..."
"Xiao Mo."
"Mm...?"
"If Shirakawa ever tricks you into signing any weird agreent... like a marriage application or a property transfer docunt, make sure to read it carefully..."
"N-no, that wouldn’t happen..."
Black Hearted Lolita stood aside, seemingly in a state of confusion... so impromptu filming? Why didn’t I know about this? When I left... wasn’t Black Hearted Woman still at ho reading? How did she suddenly et up using such a ridiculous excuse?
Damn pretty boy... damn Black Hearted Woman, I knew there was sothing off with these two!
...
In the distance, Shirakawa Sawahei inexplicably sneezed.
Is it because I’m catching a cold?
He instinctively rubbed his head, not noticing anything strange, and imdiately felt at ease, quietly waiting for Tsukimi Yamadori’s appointnt.
Regarding this backstab plan, Shirakawa Sawahei had indeed sched against many people—among them, Tsukimi sakurazawa as the target of the backstab, her actions were naturally under his complete control.
Want to leave? No way.
First, use a tea party with a few girls to successfully hold up the whiny one, and then et with Tsukimi Yamadori to gather the truth... it was a perfect plan!
"My apologies for being late."
A stranger’s serious apology pulled Shirakawa Sawahei’s distracted thoughts back, he looked ahead, Tsukimi Yamadori was wearing a simple and elegant black dress, slightly nodding to him.
Shirakawa Sawahei quickly stood up, bowed and said, "Not at all, I arrived early... please take a seat."
Tsukimi Yamadori acknowledged with a hum, and gracefully sat down. Today Tsukimi Yamadori didn’t wear a kimono or such gracious attire, she seed a little less formal and a bit more casual. Shirakawa Sawahei noticed and slightly breathed a sigh of relief.
Thank goodness... it’s a relief that the whiny one’s mom isn’t wearing a kimono... otherwise, there might be so pressure...
It seems that aside from important occasions, even won from prestigious families don’t wear kimonos every day...
"Did you ask to et today because my daughter was impolite in so way?" Tsukimi Yamadori asked with lowered eyes and a soft voice, "If so, I apologize on her behalf."
"It’s not like that..." Shirakawa Sawahei hurriedly explained, "The reason I asked to et with you, Mrs. Tsukimi, is that I have a few things I want to inquire about."
"Please go ahead. If I know, I will certainly tell you without reservation."
Seeing Tsukimi Yamadori being so straightforward, Shirakawa Sawahei couldn’t help but hesitate a little. After thinking about it, he decided not to beat around the bush anymore and directly asked, "Mrs. Tsukimi... did you ever investigate because of Tsukimi?"
Tsukimi Yamadori fell silent.
The atmosphere between the two suddenly beca sowhat tense, the woman lowered her head and after thinking briefly, nodded slightly.
"I did do that."
Sohow, Shirakawa Sawahei seed to sigh in relief, but then tensed up again... Tsukimi Yamadori continued, "Indeed, this was an impolite act by the Tsukimi Family, and it’s only right if you’re upset... I apologize sincerely."
"The Tsukimi Family... isn’t ordinary, right...?"
Shirakawa Sawahei was silent for a mont, then asked aloud.
Tsukimi Yamadori nodded lightly again.
"The Tsukimi Family always acts low-key, and we’ve always taught our daughter not to flaunt her identity everywhere... if you feel deceived, I apologize."
"But... please don’t bla my daughter, she values you as a friend."
He sighed slightly, seemingly lost in thought, the atmosphere froze between them again, only to be broken by his voice, "May I ask... after investigating , what does Mrs. Tsukimi plan to do?"
"Nothing." Tsukimi Yamadori sternly said, "The Tsukimi Family investigated your background out of caution... after all, Tsukimi is our future heir... her status is sensitive..."
"As long as there’s no issue, you can still interact with her as before, we won’t interfere."
"Do you think... knowing this, we can still interact like before?"
Tsukimi Yamadori once again apologized formally, "I am really very sorry..."
"So... the last ti you ca to apologize was also conveniently to probe ?"
"Yes." The woman replied softly, "Although that was the first ti, it truly started to make consider investigating you... after the fireworks festival."
"That rose-shaped earring."
"..."
