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.
