In the Minami family, Madam Minami will talk with her daughter, Minami Kotori.
The person she likes is actually a scumbag with multiple women. This blow was too big for a young girl who had just fallen in love.
*Knock Knock*
Madam Minami knocked on Kotori's door.
"Please come in."
When Madam Minami entered the room, she saw Kotori sitting by the bed in despair, and knew why she was troubled without even thinking about it.
"Mom..."
"What is it? You seem to be thinking about something," Madam Minami asked knowingly.
"It's nothing." Kotori shook her head nervously, how could she tell her mother about this kind of thing.
Madam Minami thought for a while and said, "Actually, Hyakki-kun already told me."
"What?" Kotori's heart tightened.
"Tell me about your plans for a date."
Kotori heaved a sigh of relief.
"I don't mind your date, but Kotori needs to understand your feelings for him. Is it because you like him or because we are grateful for the help?" Madam Minami said.
"..." Kotori fell silent. How can this kind of feeling be 'grateful'?
"Mom, if the person you like already has another girl, will you accept it?" asked Kotori.
It's very literary, but basically a mistress.
Madam Minami's expression was a little unnatural, since she was playing the role of a mistress.
"...Yeah, if you really like him too... It should be acceptable." Madam Minami, the educator, probably just wanted to find an outlet for her behavior when she said those unorthodox words.
Kotori was very surprised, she didn't expect that her mother would say something like that.
Kotori wasn't good at making decisions, and Madame Minami's words had a huge impact on her.
(As long as I like him?)
Kotori nodded and said: "I see."
Madam Minami was very complicated, on the one hand she didn't want her daughter to fall into the abyss of being called a "mistress", and on the other hand, she didn't want Kotori to be sad. The final result can only be decided by yourself.
...
Ryuji returned home, made some simple dishes, and asked a group of girls at home to go out for dinner.
Unlike before, this time Gilgamesh condescends to sit at the same table, which is surprising.
"Hmph, don't look at me like that. As a gift from my subordinates, it wouldn't be bad to have dinner with you once in a while," said Gilgamesh arrogantly.
"Yes." Ryuji answered casually.
"Jiiiiii~"
"I wanted to complain a long time ago, why do you have to make a 'Jiiii~' sound when looking at people." Ryuji looked at Mashiro helplessly.
"Watch~" Mashiro didn't speak, and still looked at Ryuji.
"Okay, I noticed you, what's wrong?" Ryuji didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"Manga, the results are out." Mashiro's calm voice rose and fell unusually.
Ryuji's hand holding the cutlery froze, remembering the agreement he made with Mashiro.
If Mashiro's manga can get into the top three in the company's ranking, she will hold a sacred ritual with him.
From the bottom of his heart, even though Ryuji was called a fuckboy, he was still unwilling to extend his claws to the pure Mashiro.
While it's interesting to color a white sheet of paper in his own color, Mashiro is still his cousin, and he originally wanted to stick to this rare underscore.
"What was the result?" Ryuji asked carefully.
"Second."
Although the artist Mashiro is very strong, after all, she has not been in contact with the manga industry for a long time, and she is not as good as some veteran mangaka in terms of drawing tension and storyboarding.
Talent aside, she had also put in more sweat than the average person to achieve such a result.
Ryuji sighed, Mashiro worked really hard. As an big brother, he had to respond to his little sister's expectations.
"Okay, I will fulfill the previous agreement." It was obvious he was taking advantage of it, but Ryuji's expression was a bit embarrassing.
Mash rarely complains, as a nanny who takes care of Mashiro, she knows the agreement between Ryuji and Mashiro, she complains a little about her seniors.
But no matter what, Mash wouldn't object to Ryuji's decision, and she had formed a deep bond with him when she first became Demi-Servant.
For Mash, Ryuji is everything.
"Hoho, is the performer finally going to start a forbidden love? I look forward to it." Nero still looks like a spectator.
"You can't stop your mouth with so much food!" Ryuji took a piece of tempura and stuffed it into Nero's small mouth.
"Wooo!" Nero was furious, frowning to express her dissatisfaction.
Jeanne Alter curled her lips, Ryuji's words meant he wouldn't be spending the night at her place tonight.
