Translator: Silver Editor: Na Mizuki-chan?”

A new visitor arrived two days intoAs you can see, I' wo

She was a e

It was a bit aard seeing someone in western clothes when they usually only wear traditional japanese clothes

They were the same as always, but unfamiliar at the same time

“Ara, that's true I was told you should never ask an inpatient about their spirits, so that was a bit careless on my part”

“Ahahaha…… but, why are you here? I only informed the school officials about uest told me you were here yesterday I had some time on my hands, so I decided to come and see you”

“Grandfather! That's dirty! He went to Ko to know that your grandfather visited a geisha parlor in his spare tieisha name was Komaki

“Ara? Would you like a shaanher a traditional cup of tea

I was still curious as to why Maki was so eager to be here

“Ah, let's cancel the lesson today My generous benefactor had to be hospitalized because he strained his back I thought I was gonna practice today, but I had a sudden urge to see Mizuki-chan's face and came here instead”

Maki said that with a wry sh she was already a ence eishas were intrinsically tied with traditional arts

While Noh, Kabuki, and other effect-heavy artfor and dance of the geisha doe provided a more intimate relationshi+p between the entertainer and custoets better”

“I don't know I' condition”

“Eh!? It's not gonna heal?”

“Its dependent on the person Soery can solve the proble”

“That's serious”

Maki let out an enorance on the ht, Maki-san I've become friendly with the heir of the Tachibana faot to tell her the last time I saw her

“Is that so Tachibana's Bocchan, you say… So? What kind of person is he, Mizuki-chan?”

“Hmm…… Let's see Solect theuess?”

“Oyaoya, so blunt”

She chuckled happily

Maki was Homare Tachibana's birth s about her

Homare's parents didn't hide that fact from him

In this world, you couldn't deny the truth that had been placed on the table

How often did parents neglect their children in favor of work?

Moreover, she'd only had the Tachibana heir for the sake of a friend who couldn't get pregnant

Not many women want to have a child with a man they didn't love Deep down, some part of Maki still yearned for the current head of the Tachibana faive up on hirandfather told me a story once

It was a story about three childhood friends

One boy, two girls

One of the girls had a weak body and was bedridden for most of her life, but her two friends would always tell her things about the outside world

The three were so close it seeether

They ree

However, the boy couldn't choose between either of the girls

So he asked his best friend what he should do

“You don't intend to marry the other woman However, there's the one you want to protect and the one ill fight by your side Both are important, but you can't compare them Therefore, choose neither of them”

That was his friend's answer

It was the pinnacle of indecisiveness

However, the boy was already in trouble because he couldn't choose the better option

The cheerful girl accidentally overheard the conversation

“I will always stand by you, so choose that girl”

She told the boy that and left after patting hiirl with the weak boy held the boy's hand and shook her head

“I won't live long I can't even bear a child with such a weak body So you two should get randfather then asked me a question

“What would you do in that situation?”

Even as a child, I realized that it was a troublesoht so too

Well, his ansas simple

Choose neither of them and find soet married, he could choose his successor froations despite his indecisiveness

If that wasn't enough, the boy could use a political e as an excuse to reject both of his childhood friends

It'd be passing the burden onto his partner, but it was an option available to the next family head

There were other options, but at the time that was the best I could coirl with the weak constitution
