Chapter 62: A Small Mansion
Chapter 62: A Small Mansion
Fortunately, we arrived at Tojoin-sans house within ten minutes, just some time after Fujise and Sei-chan got into the car.
Although it seems that Tojoin-san and Fujise didnt seem to have teased us enough yet
At least Fujise lost interest in teasing us the moment we arrived at her place.
A-Amazing.
Fujise couldnt help but sigh in admiration looking at the house from the limousine.
In addition to Fujise, Rinke and Sei-chan also had their eyes rolling at the sight.
Outside the window was a mansion the size I had never ever seen before in my entire life.
No, I might have seen a mansion this big in a manga or something, but its definitely not something that would exist in real life.
Well, I guess I am in a manga world after all, so seeing something like this makes sense
I had read the original story beforehand, so I knew Tojoins house was plenty big, but when I actually saw the real thing with my own eyes, it was so amazing that I couldnt help but laugh.
Give me a minute, Im opening the gate.
G-Gate..
The limousine stopped as we were waiting for the gates to open up.
So that means that the mansion has enough garden space to fit an entire limousine inside.
Thats really amazing.
The gate that was larger than our school gate opened up, as the limousine slowly entered the mansions grounds.
As we approached the mansion, the limo finally stopped and so we got out.
The mansion was so big that you cant help but look up at it from this angle, and the entrance door is so grand that it could just as easily be called a doorway to heaven.
Tojoin-san really is an ojou-sama after all.
Fujise muttered to herself in a daze.
Oh? On the contrary, what did you think I was then?
No, I knew you were an Ojou-sama. Just not one of this scale.
This house isnt too big for me though. But I guess its probably huge for a normal person.
EHH?! You have a house bigger than this?
I have villas overseas that are several times the size of this thing.
I cant even imagine such a thing
A few times larger than this The normal-like Fujise cant hope to imagine such a thing in reality.
Have you finished admiring the exterior? Lets go in already.
Tojoin-san said, we followed behind her as she walked towards the door.
Thats when I walked next to Sei-chan and somehow our eyes met in the process.
!
Sei-chans face immediately turned red and looked away from me.
She had been teased repeatedly about marrying me, so its no surprise that shes acting like this all of a sudden.
I was so embarrassed that I wanted to avert my gaze too.
But Sei-chans embarrassed face is just too cute.
I went straight into the place and found a very luxurious and spacious house.
I saw a doorway that was way too wide, a ceiling that was also way too high and even chandeliers hanging from them.
Tojoin-san seemed to be the only one that was unfazed by all of this and just went straight in through the entrance.
What shall we do now? We can immediately go and practice cooking? Or I can show you around for a while.
Y-Yeah, sure Can you show us around?
The purpose of today was for Fujise to practice her cooking skills.
Fujise cant cook at all.
Its so bad that youd vomit right after trying it out.
I still remember when Sei-chan asked me to help her out, and I thought to myself, What kind of punishment is this?
Its because what I taste test will most likely be extremely poisonous. Theres a good chance Ill immediately pass out after trying it.
So when T Sei-chan told me about the punishment game they had set up, I immediately proposed to her that she should make Tojoin-san help Fujise to cook.
Just helping Fujise with her cooking is punishment enough, but for Tojoin-san, to help her own love rival in such a thing, with something that could be a huge advantage.
And so, I suggested the idea to Sei-chan, and she immediately went through with it.
Tojoin-san said it would be humiliating, but she would do it nonetheless.
So, we are going to teach Fujise how to cook today.
Tojoin-san showed us around the extremely large mansion.
All the while, we glanced around looking at everything nearby.
Its because there were butlers and maids that bowed to us as soon as we walked by them.
Tojoin-san seems to have gotten used to it, but I guess we couldnt help but get carried away at this sight.
I was walking down the hallway when a man casually walked by.
Wait, isnt that man?
Father!?
Tojoin-san, who was walking in front of the pack, started screaming.
Eh, Thats Tojoin-sans father?
Fujise muttered to herself Thats the thought that came to everyones mind at the same time as well.
The president of a company so large, that its assets exceed a trillion. Mitsuki Tojoin.
He looked so young that its hard to believe that hes actually over 40. His black slick hair was short enough to show off his ears cunningly.
He had a well defined face and a pair of eyes that glowed as bright as Tojoin-san.
No, it should be the other way round. Tojoin-sans eyes looked like his.
We, including Tojoin-san, became more and more nervous as he approached us in a suit with a blank expression.
Morning, Kaori. How have you been?
Mor-Morning Father. Yeah, Im fine.
Tojoin-san who looked nervous at seeing her father, smiled stiffly.
We, who stood behind her, straightened our backs like weve never done so before.
He raised his eyebrow for a moment and quickly turned his head to us.
Are these people your friends?
Y-Yes, these are my friends and I have invited them here today.
I see, Nice to meet you. I am Mitsuki Tojoin. Father of Kaori.
Nice to meet you, Im Shiho Fujise.
Fujise took the lead and the rest of us followed suit with our greetings as well.
Rinke and Sei-chan both greeted him respectively with me following so last.
Tsukasa Hisamura.
You are Hisamura-kun?
Eh?
He knows my name? Why?
Thank you for everything youve done.
E-Ehh? N-No What did I do?
The other day, I was told by Kaori that you were the one that told her to call me.
Ah, youre talking about that.
I didnt expect that Tojoin-san would tell him about me.
Tojoin-san told me that she owed me a lot. But honestly, I dont think I did much at all.
I just wanted to thank you for everything. So, thank you.
No, no. I didnt do anything that big.
Its a big deal from our point of view. In the meantime, have this, a token of my gratitude.
I received a piece of paper that he pulled out from his pocket.
What on earth is this?
Eh, a check?
Id say you can have any amount you want, but Im sorry, the limit is ten billion yen. [TLN: Thats ten million in USD.]
Eh, eh EHHH?!
I had no idea what he was talking about all of a sudden.
Ten billion as in TEN BILLION YEN?!
NO NO NO NO NO?!?!
I cant accept this, no way can I accept such a large amount!
Really? Theres a small villa in Karuizawa thats just about the size of this house, would you want to have that then? [TLN: Karuizawa is known as a place for villas and one of the higher end districts in Japan.]
No thank you!
As small as this house?
This is too big of a house!
I see, I cant seem to think of something that youd like, but I would like to send a gift to you at some point in the future.
Just the thought of it is enough.
No, that is definitely not enough. You melted the ice between our family after all.
He then proceeded to look and smile at Tojoin-san gently.
Tojoin-san looked away with slightly red ears.
F-Father, why did you come here today?
I heard that they were a part of the few people you invited that werent Yuuichi, so I came by to take a look.
P-Please dont embarrass me in front of all of them.
Im sorry, I was just so curious that I decided to push work aside for a while.
IS THAT ALRIGHT?!
Ahh, so thats why I could hear a vibrating-like sound from his inner pocket
Its probably a work-related call. Is it really fine to ignore that?
Id better get going Kaori. For dinner next week, will you be cooking for me?
Y-Yes, Im still practicing, but Ill put my skills to good use.
Just the fact that Kaori is cooking for me makes it worth more than any fine meal Ive ever had.
Kuu T-Thank you.
We were looking at a very unusual sight.
A sight where Kaori Tojoin was shrinking back and making muffled noises.
Tojoin-san who had the look of an ojou-sama has now cracked into the picture of a really lovely girl.
Also Kaori, are you not going to change the way that you call me?
Eh? T-Thats
I see
He lowered his eyelids a little, which made him look a little sad and depressed.
When Tojoin-san saw this, her face instantly went red, with a look that she made up her mind.
Good luck with your work, DAD!
Ah-Ah, Thank you Kaori.
In return to Tojoin-sans words, he gave a really gentle smile.
You guys go ahead and take your time.
A-Ah, yeah. Thank you.
He said and left.
A few seconds passed after he left.
You seem to get along quite well with your father, Tojoin.
!?
The first person to utter those words was surprisingly, Sei-chan.
Actually, it wasnt that was surprising since she was teased so much in the limousine
Shi-Shimda-san.
No, I didnt mean anything bad by it. Its nice to see you guys get along. I hope that the both of you proceed to get along just as well in the near future.
Sei-chan seems to be trying extremely hard to keep the grin from showing on her face.
I cant stop the corners of my mouth from curving up slightly too.
Thats right. Its good that you and your Dad get along so well.
Right, thats so wonderful.
Im so happy that I was able to help Tojoin-san get along with her Dad.
You did well, Hisamura. It seems that it was thanks to you that Tojoin and her Dad got along.
After that, Sei-chan and I continued to tease Tojoin-san until we reached the kitchen. Tojoin-san had a bright red face by the time we got there.
