That morning, the prestigious Ayato family gathered in the dining room. While silence reigns in the room, the head of the family, Kazuma takesy the floor.
"Son.'' he began.
"Yes, Father?" Yu replied, adjusting his glasses.
"Have you already found a bride?" he finally asked. At the agreement of this question everyone fixes Yu.
''No, father.'' replies Yu with an angry look.
Kazuma breathes an exasperated sigh before continuing.
"And why?" he asks, taking a bite of shrimp.
"I'm not interested in women. I prefer to stay single, without having a fool and a toddler in my paws.'' Yu replies, taking a bite of pork.
Kazuma clenches his fist and hits him on the table, startling the rest of the family except Yu.
"What do you mean, 'a fool and a toddler?' " he said in a very high tone. "You have two sisters. They will not be able to perpetuate our prestigious Ayato lineage! If you do not marry, our lineage will disappear!"
Rosa, Yu's mother then speaks.
''Calm down, darling...'' she said calmly. ''Let him make his own decisions. Don't forget that he is an adult.''
Rosa's words seem to have calmed Kazama down. The meal resumes in silence. After the meal, Yu goes to his office and handles some files for his company, while his sisters go to school. Kazama and Rosa are still discussing their son's romantic situation.
''He is really very stubborn. How am I going to marry him to a girl from a good family in this case ?'' Kazama asks his wife.
''Give him time to find the right person.'' said Rosa with a little reassuring smile.
The day passes like this. At the end of the day, Yu returns home. He opens the door to his room and widens his eyes in astonishment when he sees a maid cleaning his room.
''Who are you?" he asks coldly
"Ah, Mr. Yu, I'm the new maid."
The girl, still on the floor sweeping up a little dust, looks at him with a friendly smile, completely unperturbed by his rude ttone
"Tch... Is it a tactic of father to push me to marry? Hump! He thinks he has me so easily?" thought for himself
Yu goes straight to the house lounge, determined to make his father understand that he cares about his freedom.
As Kazuma and Rosa discuss, the door opens in a bang. The steam dissipates, revealing Yu's imposing silhouette. He looked at his father with an angry look...
