As Hisako and Alice thought that they had seen the biggest scandal of the year between the queen of the culinary world and the richest man in this world, Erina was full of worry since she knew that her queen image would be destroyed, fortunately, that the people who had seen her as someone that she could trust upon, however, when the situation was very disadvantageous for her, Haru, her fiance, used his bullshitting ability, telling Hisako and Alice that they were doing work out session since Erina's body was quite stiff from working on the desk all the time.
Hisako and Alice were quite skeptical, however, they couldn't find a fault in Haru's face and decided to believe him, or rather, they wanted to believe him since they didn't want to believe that Erina had stepped into the stairs of adulthood.
Two girls might have realized it, but they tried to ignore it, especially after Erina had returned from her trip to Saitama with this devil.
The two girls were afraid since they felt that Erina suddenly felt very far away, even so, they were grateful for him since they could see how Erina had changed and became a better person somehow since she started to appreciate food more.
So as Haru explained what had happened inside Erina's office, Alice decided to join their workout session and Hisako decided to stay to observe them.
Erina let out a sigh of relief, but at the same time, she was a bit disappointed since her long-awaited time with him would be disturbed by two girls. However, she knew that she could spend more time with him tonight so she decided to bear it for a while.
"This yoga wear is a bit too tight on my chest."
Alice frowned slightly since the area around her chest was a bit too tight.
"It's Erina's size after all.
However, after Haru uttered those words, he felt his waist was in pain since Erina was pinching his waist mercilessly.
"Ouch! Ouch! Erina, stop!'
"So you're telling me that my breasts are small?"
"No one is saying that!"
If Haru told Erina that her breasts were small then it would be an insult to all the flat-chested girls in this world.
Erina's breasts were definitely on the bigger size, however, Alice was bigger, that's all!
When Alice heard Haru's words, she seemed quite proud of it and even raised her chest high!
However, Hisako sighed, but she didn't say anything since compared to the Nakiri sisters, her breasts were the smaller size.
Hearing Haru's explanation, Erina felt better.
Haru knew that whenever it involved her cousin, Erina had always felt agitated. He wasn't sure the reason, but she didn't think too much, thinking that it might be a sister's competition or something.
Then both Erina and Alice started their workout session together with Haru as their private instructor.
Haru also brought them back to Erina's room since he also needed to give them a full body massage.
Hisako knew that with Alice around Haru and Erina, Erina's virginity would be alright and she decided to excuse herself since she needed to reschedule Erina's schedule. It might be hard work, but she was happy with it since Erina started to enjoy her life more rather than spending all of her time busying herself with her job.
When Hisako had left them, Alice couldn't help but say, "What have you two been doing before?"
"We have been working out, you know it yourself, right?" Erina said calmly.
"Really?" Alice was suspicious.
"Anyway, why are you asking? It has nothing to do with you, right?" Erina felt slightly annoyed when Alice kept bothering her precious time with him after all.
Alice felt slightly hurt, but she didn't give up and said, "I am your cousin and of course, it is related to me! Even though both of you are engaged to each other, both of you haven't married to each other! I don't want to become an aunty this early!"
"...."
Haru was speechless, however, Erina blushed and looked away, but there was a sense of guilt on her since she was lying to Alice that she had been eaten by her beastly fiance.
Erina might have been eaten and lost her virginity, but there was no way that she would tell something like that to Alice since she knew how chatterbox Alice was. She was afraid that Alice would tell this matter to her grandpa then all of her family would know about this!
If that really happened, then Erina wasn't sure what to do, but then a strong hand held her hand which gave her a sense of security. She looked up and saw him looking at him with a relaxed expression.
It also made her relaxed and calm.
'What am I worried about?'
Erina started to think that she didn't need to worry about anything. With him beside her, she knew that he would protect her from anything and even if she got pregnant she was sure that he would take responsibility.
There was only a silent exchange between Erina and Haru, but somehow Alice noticed this and she felt very lonely for some reason since she could tell the distance between her and the two of them became larger.
Alice had been supportive of Erina's relationship with Haru since she knew that Erina needed someone beside her and she also had been trying to cheer her up after she returned to Japan since she knew what kind of nightmare Erina had received in her childhood time.
Alice couldn't be beside Erina when Erina needed her the most and that was why she had always tried to cause her trouble so Erina would be cheerful rather than turning emo.
Alice also hated Erina's father who had caused a lot of trouble to Erina in the past, but then there was someone who appeared to save Erina.
This guy wasn't a prince in a white horse that appeared in a fairy tale book, but rather a bad bandit who would kidnap a beautiful princess and make her into his woman without hesitation.
He wasn't perfect, but they were alright with it and they also loved that part of him.
Alice remembered the question that Erina had asked her in the past when Erina asked whether she was in love with Haru, but she quickly denied that possibility since she didn't like such a bad guy.
However, Alice might have been lying to herself and she knew for herself what was her feeling after all the knowledge that she received from various romance movies and novels.
Alice then kept staring at this hateful guy wondering whether she could see what was inside his head at this moment, but then he happened to turn and also stared at her.
"..."
Both of them stared at each other for a while before Alice looked away with a blush.
'This hateful guy!!!'
"....."
Looking at Alice's expression who became annoyed, Haru could only shake his head wondering whether it was that time of the month for her.
