Chapter 110 - Hiiragi’s Father — Part 3 (1/2)

Hiiragi’s Father — Part 3

It soon became noon, and I ended up getting treated to lunch at the Hiiragi mansion.

“Seiji-kun, I must apologize for the weird things my husband said to you.”

Airi-san apologetically lowered her head.

“No, it’s fine.”

Since it was the dining room of such a grand mansion, I was wondering how amazing it would be, but it was really something a normal family would have. The perfect size for the five Hiiragi family members and me.

“When the whole clan comes together, there’s a different dining room, so we have our meal there.”

Probably noticing my question, Hiiragi-chan explained to me.

Everyone quietly ate the expensive looking Japanese cuisine. Takakge-san, who was sitting across from me, all of a sudden had his opposite cheek red and swollen… He was probably slapped again.

“Father is so bad at Mahjong, and yet he kept saying one more time, and so it became so late.”

In her lady mode, Natsumi-chan spoke to Airi-san.

It was currently about one hour past noon. It seems that the plan was to have the meal at twelve.

“It’s because he plays some casual Mahjong and got conceited.”

When Airi-san glared at him, Takakage-san scrunched his shoulders and shrank.

“Seiji-kun, it was truly a merciless victory for you.”

“Thief-kun, you’re quite strong.”

“Hmm, I think I’m just average though?”

Takakage-san probably got overconfident after playing casual Mahjong.

“I want to do it too. Teach me next time.”

“Yeah. Sure.”

“Then we can play with the four of us, Seiji-kun, Natsumi, Sana-chan, and me.”

Did Sana ever play? Well, she does like these types of tabletop games so if I teach her, she would probably pick up on it pretty easily.

“To even mercilessly win against this person, Seiji-san, you really have guts.”

“Well, I was desperate since he said that he would accept our relationship if I won.”

Well, well, Airi-san laughed to herself elegantly.

“Now you know, right? This is how much Seiji-san thinks of Haruka.”

Without speaking towards anyone in particular, Takakage-san frowned a bit.

“That’s why I accepted their relationship.”

“If it’s Seiji-san, he would probably correct any mistakes that this person makes without holding back.”

As expected, I don’t really know that much, so I gave an ambivalent response.

“Being at the top of a company, is surprisingly lonely. It requires you to take responsibility and make final decisions. There’s no way a subordinate can complain, and currently there isn’t anyone that can be relied on.”

Takakage-san didn’t deny anything and continued to eat his meal silently.

“They might make an unexpectedly good combination.”

“I wonder.”

I gave a wry smile. There’s no way I would have the experience or knowledge to say something about the company’s current management.

“Sanada-kun.”

“Ah, yes.”

It was the first time Takakage-san called me by name.

“… Next time, it’s golf.”

“… Very well.”

In the present time, I was taken by my seniors and superiors every once in a while. That’s a relief. I didn’t really enjoy it, but I can play.

He smiled at me, and so I returned it.

Hiiragi-chan was making a weird face.

“They might get along quite well…?”

“They might have a few surprisingly similar points.”

Nastumi-chan said while gracefully handling her chopsticks.

“I’ve already recognized Seiji-san, so none of this even mattered. However…”

Airi-san quietly set down her chopsticks, and looked at Hiiragi-chan and me.

“Have you already done it?”

““It?””

“I’m asking whether you guys have had sex.”

Zupishaan! A shock ran through Hiiragi-chan.

“W-why did you have to say something like that! We’re in the middle of a meal!”

“Of course I would. It’s about the important successor of the Hiiragi family, so it would be great the earlier it is.”

“B-b-but… t-that… not until…”

Unlike Hiiragi-chan who was fidgeting around while blushing, Nastumi-chan was giggling to herself.

“Aaaaah, as expected, she said it.”

“If you have problems with Haruka, then how about Natsumi?”

“W-w-w-whhy me!?”

Nastumi-chan blushed while in a huge panic.

“Haruka is already 24 this year. It isn’t an age where it would be weird to have a child, right?”

“That’s true…”
