Chapter 3: Shirogane Family’s Back Story - Part 6-10

Soji: “Finally here, eh?”
Yuri: “S-Soji.”
Soji: “Without me having you educate you, you call my name without ‘mister’. You’re a slave genius.”
Yuri: “What do you mean especially… Oh right, because I’m a GENIUS slave, right?”
Soji: “We have a winner. Such a clever slave.”
Yuri: (Why does he talk to me like that…)
Soji: “Don’t worry, soon enough you’ll be trained properly.
Kosaka: “Well then, excuse me.”
Soji: “See ya.”
Yuri: “Soji… I have a lot of things I want to ask you…”
Soji: “Before that, look who’s here.”
                Before I could even ask ‘who?’, I hear footsteps approaching us from the long hallway.
Yuri: “Who is that…”
???: “Is that Soji’s girlfriend?”
Soji: “Masumi.”
Masumi: “Kinda boring-looking isn’t she? I thought you would get engaged to a dirl who was more high class.”
                A man giving off the arrogant aura suddenly appeared. It was obvious that he didn’t like Soji, I caught onto that instantly.
Soji: “Sorry, I don’t have any time  for you.  We’re going to see my parents and grandfather.”
Yuri: “What?!”
Soji: “What? I have to introduce my wife.”
Masumi: “What? You’re already married?”
Soji: “We’ve already submitted the marriage registration forms.”
Masumi: “Wow. Wasn’t that fast. You really are competing for being the successor, aren’t you?”
Soji: “I have no interest in such things. This race is about capability, not my recent actions.”
Masumi: “A little too confident, wouldn’t you say? To think that YOU will be the successor.”
Soji: “So in the end, I’m not the one who makes the decision. Grandfather will.”
Masumi: “Hmm. I wonder about that.”
Soji: “Yuri, we’re going.”
Yuri: “A-Alright.”
                As if protecting me from Masumi, Soji gently puts his hand on my back and we left the room. As we leave the room, I exchange glances with Masumi.
Masumi: “I feel sorry for you having to get involved in these troublesome family matters.
Yuri: “Huh…?”
Soji: “Ignore him.”
Yuri: “Ok.”
Masumi: “You really hang on Soji’s every word, don’t you? What has he got on you?”
                Oh, if only I could say. But I remembered how kindly he treated me just before. How he put his hand on my shoulder as if to protect me. His hand was warm.
Yuri: (…It’s better I stay quiet for now.)
                I turned around and defended myself.
Yuri: “I’m his wife. I’m supposed to listen to my husband.”
                Masumi stared at me with his arms crossed. I moved even closer to Soji immediately. I thought my heart might burst from the stress I had just caused. When we turned into the hallway, Soji burst into laughter.
Yuri: “Huh?! What’s so funny?”
Soji: “You… you lost your temper.”
Yuri: “I-I don’t usually argue with people…”
Soji: “Obviously.”
Yuri: “I just couldn’t let him speaks to us like that.”
                Soji looked at me with narrowed eyes, then he turned his gaze forward.
Soji: “That was my cousin, Masumi Shirogane. He always treats me as his rival.”
Yuri: “Why?...”
Soji: :If the Shirogane company had a hereditary system, the next in line would be him. Hi father is the oldest son; mine is the second. And in most cases, the hild of the oldest son takes over the family business.”
Yuri: “And the Shirogane family is different?”
Soji: “we’re very complicated. But before we talk about that.”
                Soji stopped in front of a room much bigger than any other.

Soji: “I’m going to introduce you to my parents and grandfather.
