Uh....
Haruka Yuzan pondered.
Should he act out a scene or not?
He figured that if he voiced that thought, he’d be thrown out in the next second.
"What are you thinking about?"
Chiba Seiryo couldn’t help but furrow his brows, feeling that the boy before him was up to no good.
It must be said, both sisters shared a similar sensitivity when it came to such matters.
Almost at a glance, they could see right through Haruka Yuzan, inside and out.
However, Haruka Yuzan, who had long been trained by Chiba-san, clearly wouldn’t easily reveal his truest thoughts:
"Nothing, just... the tea is fragrant."
Haruka Yuzan raised the teacup in his hand and chuckled lightly.
Chiba Seiryo frowned but still said, "If it’s good, Mr. Haruka can take more with him when he leaves."
"Okay, thank you."
Another silence ensued.
Watching the two in the pavilion, Hanai Ishishū lightly massaged her forehead.
Couldn’t these two talk about serious matters?
She knew her mistress well; the reason for her silence was that she was waiting for an intervention.
Sigh.
The boss is so tsundere, making their subordinates suffer.
"Um, Mr. Haruka, Miss Shimizu will be coming later, so... you see..."
As she spoke, Hanai Ishishū made frantic eye gestures towards him.
Come on, give it some effort!
Haven’t we already agreed on this before?
Haruka Yuzan took a delicate sip of his tea and then pretended to be slightly surprised, "Miss Shimizu is also coming later?"
"Yes, that’s right."
Hanai Ishishū hurriedly nodded, "Miss Shimizu and her group should be on their way now."
Haruka Yuzan set down his teacup and glanced at Chiba Seiryo, who was sitting opposite him.
When the eldest daughter noticed his gaze, the expectant look in her eyes instantly turned cold again.
She resumed her tsundere expression, as if to say, "Why are you looking at me? Mind your own business."
The breeze lifted the locks of hair on her forehead, and her fair nose crinkled slightly, cuteness in the same vein.
Sure enough, age could not change the Chiba family’s earnestly cute genes.
Haruka Yuzan cleared his throat softly, "If it involves asking for my help, it’s really going to be a headache."
Chiba Seiryo’s brows relaxed upon hearing this.
In her view, as long as the other party was willing to make a deal, there was room for negotiation.
"Name your conditions, anything is fine as long as it brings Shimizu back home."
The eldest daughter replied quite straightforwardly.
Hanai Ishishū, upon hearing this, rubbed her eyes with a headache.
Eldest daughter, oh.
Can’t you see what’s happening?
The second daughter’s refusal to come home is, firstly, because she’s at odds with you.
And secondly, she must have fallen for Mr. Haruka!!

Why are all little sister enthusiasts so stubborn!!!
After all that’s happened, are you still not willing to acknowledge your sister’s romance?
"No, no, no."
As expected, Haruka Yuzan shook his finger.
"Perhaps there was a problem with how I phrased that."
"Hmm?" Chiba Seiryo looked puzzled.
She found that the young man before her was becoming increasingly enigmatic.
"If Shimizu is unwilling, I definitely won’t force her."
Haruka Yuzan reemphasized his bottom line, "Everything is based on her willingness, that’s when I’ll attempt anything."
He honestly wasn’t much inclined to take on this messy situation.
The affairs between the two Misses were already troublesome enough, and he hadn’t solved them all yet.
Now an older sister had popped up.
Not only did he have to manage the relationship between close friends, but he also had to help with family ties.
It was indeed headache-inducing...
"Of course."
Hanai Ishishū immediately responded.
Chiba Seiryo, however, frowned; she believed that Chiba Shimizu was only unwilling to come back on the surface.
In reality, her sister was still in her heart.
Yet, remembering the information she had gathered, she refrained from voicing any objections.
To get Shimizu back home, the man before her played an essential role.
"Okay, once this is resolved, I will give you a generous reward."
Haruka Yuzan shook his head, smiling lightly, "I don’t need it."
"Hmm?"
"I’m not sure about the usual ways of the Chiba family, but I truly detest the act of linking everything to personal gain."
"The reason I’m helping is just for Chiba-san, nothing more. Helping among friends isn’t a transaction or a business deal, and this is important."
Haruka Yuzan enunciated each word.
His handsome face exuded unparalleled sincerity.
This took both Hanai Ishishū and Chiba Seiryo by surprise; the young man before them was usually of a carefree nature.
Could he also be serious at times?
"Good, now you’ve piqued my curiosity."
Chiba Seiryo also straightened up slightly.
The gentle breeze softly stirred the treetops, and beneath the green canopy, the two began their first meaningful exchange.
At three forty in the afternoon.
A black Honda slowly made its way into the estate.
The maids in the flower garden looked up at the sound, and saw a blond-headed girl jump out of the car.
Her pale complexion was as delicate as a porcelain doll’s, her ponytails bouncing behind her, the whole child brimming with vitality and youth!!

Still in school, visiting?
The maids wondered to themselves, but Misaki Saki threw her arms up and joyfully shouted:
"Hey-ho! I’m here!!!"
Following her voice, another elegant figure slowly stepped out of the car.
Chiba Shimizu looked around, her icy gaze quickly fixed on the two seated in the distant pavilion…
