VOLUME 1

Season 3, Episode 2

Episode 2:

”I'm so sorry, Rosalie!”

Shun's mother, Manami, apologized to Rosalie profusely, her hands folded together as a sign of repentance.

Apparently, a call had just come in from the restaurant.

”We'll have to leave the bridal training to another day.”

Manami grabbed a pair of shoes off the rack and ran for the door. The restaurant needed her and it needed her now.

”I see.”

Rosalie looked downcast. She must really have wanted to try her hand at that bridal training thing quite badly.

Shun, on the other hand, was more than a little pleased. And relieved.

Just like that one time Rosalie made a bento for him, nothing good ever came out of her trying to help with the ch.o.r.es.

Cooking and cleaning clearly weren't the warrior princess's forte.

Suddenly, a voice sounded from behind Shun.

”If it's alright with you, Aunty, maybe I could do it instead?”

What?!

Did Miko-nee just volunteer to -

”I volunteer to teach Rosalie-chan about household ch.o.r.es!”

Oh yes, she did.

Even the usually unshakable Manami was shocked.

”W-Well dear, if it's you, I'm sure you'd be able to do a great job, but… are you okay with this?”

Manami's words seemed to carry a hidden meaning.

Mikoto simply smiled.

”Of course!”

”Mikoto-chan, you're a real champ!”

Clasping her hand, Manami descended into tears, moved as she was by the older girl's generosity.

The scene lasted for a grand total of five seconds before Manami rushed off with a quick ”I'm counting on you!”

–

”A-Ah, Miko-nee, could I stay and watch as well?”
