Ryoutarou glared at Aoki angrily but couldn't do anything to the latter. He could only leave in frustration. After all, he was still the head of the family and Aoki's brother, so he dared not hit Aoki in public.
He returned home fuming, and when Kaname saw him, she hurriedly came up and helped him change his clothes. "What happened? What made you so angry, Ryoutarou?" Kaname asked.
Ryoutarou explained everything that had happened that day, leaving Kaname stunned. After a while, Kaname became emotional and exclaimed, "N-No… That's impossible. I will never send our daughter to the shrine. If you dare to do so, I'll die before your eyes…"
Hearing that, Ryoutarou held his wife tightly, feeling sorry for her. "I don't want to either, but what can we do?" he replied. Ryoutarou was reluctant to do so, but he had to follow Mamoru's orders. Besides, it might be an order from the shrine itself. What could he do to resist?
