 ”Um, the national treasure of the Stars was taken by Prime Minister Habu, so Mary-sama, do you have anything else? It would be sad for President Atori to have nothing…”

 ”Well… President Atori probably has most of Aqua-sama’s goods, so how about a signed copy from Hakuryuu-sensei’s doujin days? It’s pretty rare!”

 ”Wait a minute!?”

 The revived Hakuryuu-sensei was about to come on stage but was stopped.

 With a face as red as a tomato from embarrassment, Hakuryuu-sensei covered her face with both hands and rolled around on the carpet.

 It’s surprising to see an adult get so embarrassed; I really wonder what kind of content is in those doujinshi.

 ”It must be something super sweet, like it’s boiled in sugar.”

 ”Yeah, so sweet that you’d throw up sugar.”

 ”Sounds about right~.”

 Mary-sama handed a housewarming gift to President Atori and then drew her own lottery ticket.

 ”This, this is!?”

 Emily-san, the host, looked shocked when she saw the ticket.

 Could it be that Mary-sama won a housewarming gift from Aa-sama?

 Everyone held their breath.

 ”Congratulations, Mary-sama!! It’s a housewarming gift from Kaede-paisen!”

 ”Oh my!”

 Everyone present almost fell over in surprise.

 Since Emily-san had such a serious look on her face, I thought for sure it was a housewarming gift from Aa-sama.

 ”Mary-sama, you hit the jackpot!! Congratulations!!”

 ”Isn’t it more like a total miss?”

 ”Yukari-senpai, shh!”

 What kind of housewarming gift did Kaede-san choose?

 I can’t imagine at all.

 Emily-san hands a bag with a housewarming gift to Mary-sama.

 ”Hehe, I wonder what’s inside. I’m so excited~.”

 Mary-sama unties the bag and takes out what’s inside to show everyone.

 Paper…? What kind of paper is it?

 At first, I thought it was Kaede-san’s report, but looking closely, it seems to be written in a foreign language.

 ”Oh, what is this?”

 ”Kaede-paisen, please explain!”

 Kaede-san stands on the stage and takes the microphone.

 ”Everyone, do you remember when I went to the Arabian Peninsula Federation and found out I had a collarbone fracture and had to stay in a local hospital?”

 Ah… I remember that.

 Wasn’t it when you seriously did lotion sumo with a pro on the show?

 ”This is a deed I got from a local person I became friends with during that time.”

 ”A deed…? For what?”

 ”I don’t really know!! Because I don’t understand the local language. I just said okay, okay. What’s important is the feeling!!”

 Everyone almost falls over again at Kaede-san’s answer.

 ”Oh? If you look closely, this seems to be an oil deed.”

 ”””””An oil deed!?”””””

 Everyone looks shocked all at once.

 W-What does this mean!?

 How can you get an oil deed just by becoming friends?

 The person who received it doesn’t even understand what it means, so everything is wrapped in mystery.

 Mary-sama, still holding the deed, makes another phone call.

 ”Ah, hello. I just got an oil deed from Kaede-chan…”

 ”Whoaaa!”

 The Prime Minister rolls into the room again.

 Why does Prime Minister Habu always have to make such a big scene like a comedian? I’ve always wondered about this, but no one ever points it out.

 ”Haah… haah… this is really just a housewarming party, right!? It’s not some shady deal or a secret world conference by the true rulers, is it!?”

 ”Yes, it’s just a housewarming gift exchange!”

 Prime Minister Habu looks disappointed when she sees Emily-san’s serious face.

 ”Please don’t do anything else!! Absolutely not!!”

 ”Prime Minister, that’s a flag…”

 Saying that, Prime Minister Habu takes the deed from Mary-sama and leaves the room.

 It seems she’s going to check the deed through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

 Good luck. I bowed my head politely.

 ”Now that the Prime Minister’s introduction is over, Kaede-paisen, since we’re here, do you have anything else?”

 ”Hmmm… oh, I have something good! Just wait a moment!”

 Kaede-san goes back to her room and comes back with a box.

 ”Whoa! What’s this!?”

 Emily-san takes the heavy box from Kaede-san and places it in front of Mary-sama.

 Could it be that there’s an electronic device inside?

 ”Okay, I’ll open it now.”

 Mary-sama opens the box and takes out what’s inside to show everyone.

 ”Oh, is this a dumbbell?”

 A, a dumbbell? Looking closely, there’s something written on the plate.

 ”Leftover super rare items from the festival lottery. It’s a dumbbell signed by announcer Morikawa Kaede!”

 ”I, I don’t want it~~~~!”

 The dumbbell has 3 5kg plates on each side.

 S, so amazing. Even though one weighs 30kg, Mary-sama was easily lifting one in each hand.

 ”This is just right. I’ll use it for my morning training. Thank you, Kaede-chan.”

 ”Thank you too!”

 Next up is Kaede-san.

 Kaede-san sticks her hand into the box, mixes up the pieces of paper inside, and pulls one out.

 ”Um… oh, it’s from Mikoto-chan.”

 ”Mikoto’s present is… ah, this!”

 Emily-san hands a big box to Kaede-san.

 It’s bigger than the last one, but I hope it’s not another dumbbell… well, it can’t be.

 What could be inside?

 Kaede-san opens the box and takes out what was inside.

 ”What is this, a computer…?”

 ”Mikoto~! Please explain!!”

 ”Okay!”

 Mikoto-san steps onto the stage and takes the microphone from Emily-san.

 ”This is a home computer equipped with the latest AI chip, the mass-produced 3510, known for its ultimate high-performance server!”

 ”Wow~.”

 Isn’t that amazing?

 Kaede-san looked a bit confused, but it’s the latest AI used in space shuttles…

 ”Why does the latest AI end up in the most wasted place…”

 ”Isn’t it actually safe? If it’s Kaede, even with the latest AI, she wouldn’t misuse it. Besides, she probably only looks at adult sites anyway. If it has the latest AI, then it won’t get infected by weird viruses, and she won’t get sent to scam sites, so this is a win, right? If I were a spy from another country, I would definitely try to infect Kaede’s system with a weird virus to break into the Shirogane Kingdom’s network.”

 ”””””Y-You’re right…!”””””

 Everyone nodded at Kohina Yukari-san’s accurate explanation.

 As expected from someone from the same generation of nightmares.

 I thought they really understood Kaede-san well.

 ”Network? Virus?”

 ”Kaede-paisen, if you think too hard, the Hoge-lar Wave will spread. Come on, step back, step back.”

 The host, Emily-san, pushed Kaede-san, who had a lot of question marks floating above her head, off the stage.

 Next, Mikoto-san pulled a piece of paper from the box and was really happy to receive a moving gift from Rin-san, saying, “Now I can breathe fire too!”

 Um… that can’t be a real ninja manual, right?

 Then Rin-san looked really happy to receive a right to ask Pegonia-san for a favor as a moving gift.

 ”I request a serious match.”

 ”Hehehe…”

 What kind of match could that be? Maybe shogi or go?

 Next, Pegonia-san received a toy gun shaped like a sniper rifle from Rinon-san as a moving gift.

 Wow. The recent models are amazing. It looks just like the real thing.

 ”Rinon, it’s good that it was me, but next time, you should stick to something safe like a mug or something.”

 ”I-I’m sorry. I’ve never done a gift exchange before, so I didn’t know what to give…”

 Rinon-san looked happy receiving a sleep mask and earplugs set from Ruuna-san.

 Hehe, that sleep mask. It’s the same one Aa-sama wore on that show where celebrities compete for style.

 Maybe I should buy that too.

 ”What I picked is… Kokona-chan’s.”

 ”Oh, wait!!”

 What’s going on?

 Kokona-san, who suggested changing the gift, took Ruuna-san to her room and came back a few minutes later.

 ”I’ve always wanted to dress Ruuna-senpai in Gothic Lolita!”

 ”””””Ah~”””””

 Y-Yeah, it really suits her.

 Ruuna-san usually wears hoodies and simple clothes, so this feels really fresh.

 Especially the blue ribbon that adds a pop of color seems to enhance the laid-back charm of Ruuna-san.

 ”Thank you, Kokona-chan. But, Ruuna… might not be able to wear this alone…”

 ”Hehe, then I’ll help you when we go out together!”

 Hehe, the gift exchange that was so tense just a few minutes ago has turned into a warm atmosphere.

 ”It’s fine to do it like this from the start!”

 ”Exactly!”

 Everyone nodded at the exchange between Emily-san and Kaede-san.

 ”Don’t you guys say that!”

 Everyone nodded again at Kohina Yukari-san’s words.

 ”Kokona’s present is… oh, it’s a gift from Hakuryuu-sensei!”

 Kokona-san shows everyone the Aa-sama costume she got from Hakuryuu-sensei with a happy face.

 Oh, by the way, the special drama starring Toa-chan was written by Hakuryuu-sensei, right?

 This is the training outfit that Aa-sama used in the play.

 ”Um, did the flow from Hakuryuu-sensei come full circle here? Is there anyone who hasn’t drawn yet?”

 I raise my hand.

 It seems there are 9 other people who haven’t drawn yet.

 ”Kohina-senpai looks interesting, so let’s save her for last.”

 ”Why me!?”

 ”Ayana-chan, go ahead!”

 ”W-What!?”

 Tsukimachi-san, who was called, looks surprised as she steps onto the stage.

 ”Okay, then I’ll draw.”

 Tsukimachi-san pulls out a piece of paper from the box and shows it to everyone.

 ”Oh, it’s a housewarming gift from Yui-san. Um, was it this?”

 I’ve never done a gift exchange like this with friends before.

 So, I really had no idea what to give.

 I just chose the best thing I had as a housewarming gift.

 ”I wonder what it is? A notebook… a diary? Wait, what!?”

 Emily-san quickly supports Tsukimachi-san, who looks like she’s about to fall backward.

 Emily-san snatches the notebook from Tsukimachi-san’s frozen hands and opens it wide-eyed at what’s written inside.

 ”Wha!? Is that the c*m management diary with Aqua-sama!!”

 ”””””Kya~~~~~!”””””

 When Emily-san said that, all the girls except Kohina Yukari-san got super excited and rushed onto the stage.

 ”Wow, amazing…”

 ”Aqua-sama’s favorite way is to feel h*ndjob!?”

 ”Huh. Aa-chan really likes that kind of fellatio, huh?”

 ”Brother… so you really prefer girls with bigger chests, huh. Ugh…”

 ”Master has a way to make the waist move!? It seems we need to check this out properly.”

 ”This is a national treasure.”

 ”Yeah, it’s definitely worth more than oil rights or the national treasures of the Stars.”

 ”Um… should I call the Prime Minister? Knowing her, she’s probably waiting outside saying, ‘What happens twice will happen 3 times…’.”

 ”Well, I guess it’s fine…”

 ”Idiot.”

 Ugh… please don’t all stare at me like that.

 I cover my blushing face with both hands.

 Seeing this, Kohina Yukari-san talks to me.

 ”Hey, Yui-san. Have you seen your face right now?”

 ”Eh?”

 Kohina Yukari-san handed me a hand mirror.

 Oh… when I looked at it, I realized something.

 I can make this kind of face now….

 ”That guy, even though he looks like that, has a bad personality and loves seeing girls’ embarrassed faces, so if you make that face, he’ll be happy, right?”

 ”Ah… thank you.”

 I see…. As I return the hand mirror, I glance at my face in it once more.

 Hehe, I just realized that I can smile normally now.

 Thinking back to a little over a year ago, when I was practicing my smiles, it feels really deep.

 When people are happy or having fun, they naturally smile without even thinking about it.

 ”Well then, Yui-san. Can you draw next?”

 ”Ah, yes!”

 Tsukimachi-san, who completely fainted, is being carried on a stretcher to the infirmary.

 S-sorry. It might have been a bit too much for a girl who’s never experienced this before…

 But, Tsukimachi-san will do that with Aa-sama someday, so I think it will be useful eventually.

 ”Here you go. There’s still Aqua-sama’s housewarming gift left, so it’s a chance!”

 ”I-I’ll do my best!”

 I draw a lot and make a surprised face when I see what’s inside.

 ”Ah, I won… I’m sorry.”

 ”Congratulations!!”

 W-was it okay for someone like me to win Aqua-sama’s housewarming gift?

 Emily-san rings the bell and brings me the gift bag that was placed at the highest spot.

 ”Here you go!”

 ”Ah, thank you!”

 I open the gift bag and take out what’s inside.

 What is this? It looks like a handwritten ticket.

 I read the words written on the handmade ticket carefully.

 [One Day Free to Do Whatever with Me Ticket]

 Whaaat!?

 I can do whatever I want with Aqua-sama for a day… no way…

 ”A real national treasure has arrived!”

 ”I have to make sure it doesn’t get stolen by other countries!!”

 ”Hello, it’s me. Please set the security level in Shirogane Kingdom to the highest level of 6.”

 ”That’s so nice!”

 ”Yui-san, you should use that for a date!”

 ”No way, it’s a whole day of freedom, right? You can only spend 24 hours sweating and having s*x from morning!”

 ”Emily, are you a genius or what…”

 ”If it were me, I’d make that guy my servant and have him call me ‘my lady.’ Hehe, I can just picture his face shaking in humiliation.”

 ”Only Yukari can make Aqua-kun do that…”

 ”If it’s Master, I feel like he’d actually be happy to even lick my bare feet. Am I the only one who thinks that?”

 ”I agree with Pegonia.”

 Everyone looks really happy, even though it’s not like they won.

 I see… it’s because there are people like this that Aa-sama can truly let his guard down.

 I look at everyone’s faces and decide how to use the ticket.

 ”Hehe… Yui-san, please tell us secretly what you’re going to use it for.”

 ”I… I want to use this ticket to have a fun day with Aa-sama and everyone.”

 Everyone shows surprised faces at my answer.

 ”Even if you don’t do that, he’ll be happy to play with you. You should use it for something better.”

 ”Yeah, yeah! You can have something even more delicious!”

 ”Exactly, like a date just the two of you!”

 ”As expected, it must be 24 hours of sweaty s*x…”

 ”Emily-senpai, if you don’t want me to hate you, can you be quiet for a bit?”

 ”Y-yes…”

 ”Anyway, putting that aside, I think you should use it for yourself more.”

 Huh, um… I thought everyone would be happier, but their reactions are different from what I expected.

 It seems like everyone wants me to use it for something else for myself.

 Um, um, then how about that thing?

 I’m blushing a little as I glance at everyone’s faces.

 ”Um, well… then, I want to have a wild party with Aa-sama and everyone for a whole day. I mean, I want to learn by watching other women with Aa-sama, or something like that…”

 ”Let’s do that!!”

 Emily-san grabs my hands with a serious look on her face.

 Kaede-san raises her hands in joy, but the other women seem a bit shy, their faces turning red as they look away.

 It seems like they’re really happy, even if they don’t say it out loud.

 ”Even though it’s decided without Ayana-chan here, is that okay…?”

 ”Isn’t it fine? By then, Useless Aqua will probably figure something out for Ayana-chan. If we’re going to do this, why not invite Kukuri-sama and others who aren’t here? Victoria-sama and Natalia-san, who are in the palace, might refuse special treatment, but they deserve a reward like this.”

 That’s true.

 I guess we should say that they are noble people…

 Except for Emily-san and the others who are disguised as maids to hide their status, Kukuri-sama, Victoria-sama, and of course Natalia-san are not participating here.

 That’s why I think a reward like this is fair.

 ”Then, how about we say that everyone who has a good vibe with Aa-sama at that time can join?”

 ””””””””””No objections!!””””””””””

 It seems like we’ve managed to wrap up the discussion well.

 I felt like I was watching BERYL’s journey, and Jou-san and Kurushima-san seem a bit suspicious too. Maybe there will be a few more people joining before the event starts.

 I keep getting thanked by everyone over and over.

 We took a little break, but next it’s Aa-sama’s turn to draw the lottery.

 Oh, but how can we draw the lottery if Aa-sama isn’t here?

 ”I’ll draw in his place. Actually, Aqua-sama told me to ask for Lapis-chan’s if Kanon’s isn’t good, but I wonder if I can do it right? Kaede-paisen or Kanon, do you want to draw instead?”

 ”I really don’t want that kind of responsibility.”

 ”Yeah, yeah.”

 ”That guy is really obsessed with his wife and has a sister complex, huh?”

 Well, that’s true…

 It’s rare for a guy to have a sister complex, but surprisingly, there are quite a few brothers who marry their little sisters.

 The reason is often that the little sister is smaller, so they can be rough with her, which is a pretty terrible reason…

 ”Alright then, Emily, here I c*m!!”

 Emily-san shows off her clumsy performance again while dramatically revealing the lottery results.

 ”Oh, it’s a present from Marin-san!”

 ”Yay!! This is the bond between Mama and Aqua-chan!!”

 Marin-san’s housewarming gift for Aa-sama was an incredibly beautiful orchid.

 ”Finally, a real celebration has arrived!”

 ”Marin-chan has never been this serious about these things, right?”

 ”Mom only becomes a total mess when it involves big brother…”

 ”Ugh, I feel embarrassed for having put a cat tail that moves on its own!”

 ”I’m fine with it, but Emily-senpai, you really need to reflect on this.”

 ”Kanon, I knew you would…”

 ”I won’t! I absolutely will not!!”

 It seems that the orchid Marin-san gave as a present is going to be placed in this big living room that everyone uses. We all discuss where to put it in the living room, saying things like, “How about here?” and “No, over there!”

 ”Is this good?”

 ”Yeah!”

 Next, Marin-san draws a piece of paper and wins a moving-in gift from Congressman Kokucho.

 ”I really wanted to choose something nice like Marin-san did, but…”

 ”””””But?”””””

 ”Emily-chan said it’s fine to go with something silly…”

 ”””””Oh.”””””

 What did she choose as a moving-in gift?

 Marin-san opens a flat cardboard box.

 ”What is this, what is this!? Aqua-chan is in a suit!!”

 I think I saw some writing on the part that just peeked out, but what could it be?

 Marin-san turns the poster she’s holding towards us.

 [I will make all the people of Japan happy!! Leader of the Breasts Party, Shirogane Aqua]

 ””””””””””Kya~~~~~~~~~!””””””””””

 Aa-sama looks so cool in a suit!!

 The girls all rush to the stage to see the poster up close.

 ”And here’s the next one.”

 Marin-san changes the order of the posters she’s holding and shows them to everyone.

 [People of Japan! Follow me! Leader of the Breasts Party, Shirogane Aqua]

 [Let’s go together! All the people of Japan!! Leader of the Breasts Party, Shirogane Aqua]

 [My mom said. Mom’s taste is the taste of breasts. Breast Party Leader, Shirogane Aqua]

 [Breasts are breasts. Minister of Breasts, Shirogane Aqua]

 [So many breasts. Prime Minister of Japan, Shirogane Aqua]

 Wow, wow!

 Somehow, in the end, they mostly talked about breasts, but Aa-sama, dressed in a suit and with styled hair, looked so cool that I couldn’t focus on anything else.

 ”Agewa-san, what happened?”

 ”Well, with Aqua-sama’s help, before I knew it, the 3 of us, including Emily-chan, got really into making a lot of stuff…”

 Even the usually serious Kokucho politician can joke around like that.

 Seeing Kokucho’s playful side made everyone smile.

 ”Fwaah!”

 Huh? Prime Minister, when did you get here?

 Prime Minister Habu, after seeing the poster of Aa-sama looking like a prime minister, was carried away on a stretcher by politicians Tanigawa and Satou.

 ”Looks like the next prime minister is decided.”

 ”Stop it. If that guy becomes Japan’s prime minister, the average IQ of the citizens will suddenly drop to 5. I will definitely go to the elections to stop that.”

 Everyone chuckled at Kohina Yukari-san’s words.

 Aa-sama looked cool in a suit, but I still wanted Aa-sama to do what he really wanted to do.

 Next, Agewa-san drew a lottery and showed it to everyone.

 ”Oh, it’s a moving-in gift from Miyamochi-sensei.”

 The moving-in gift from Miyamochi-sensei, who is also the court doctor of Shirogane Kingdom, was a set to play doctor with Aa-sama.

 ”Agewa-oneechan in her lab coat and tights is so… hot…”

 ”I know, right?”

 Kokucho was embarrassed but accepted a gift from Emily-san that was from Miyamochi-sensei.

 Then, Emily-san drew a lottery ticket in place of Miyamochi-sensei, who was taking care of Tsukimachi-san and Prime Minister Habu.

 ”The moving gift for Miyamochi-sensei is… oh, it’s from Shitori-san.”

 ”Hehe, I wonder if Miyamochi-sensei will be happy with my present?”

 What could be inside?

 Shitori-san said it was a secret and wouldn’t reveal the contents.

 I’m so curious…

 ”I’ll ask Miyamochi-sensei later what she got, so Shitori-san, please!”

 ”Okay. Mine is… from Lisa-chan.”

 Lisa-san’s gift was a hair care set.

 Could it be that those amazing tools are what create that beautiful curly hairstyle?

 ”Sorry for the expensive stuff like the dryer and brush. I also struggle with styling, so this helps a lot.”

 ”I’m glad you liked it~desuwa.”

 Next, Lisa-san pulled out a piece of paper from the box.

 ”Ah… I drew Lazu-sama’s~desuwa.”

 ”W-What!?”

 Lazuli-san’s gift was a set of high-quality towels chosen together with the listeners.

 It seems the listeners suggested she keep it for herself, but she thought it wouldn’t make fans happy, so she chose something anyone could use.

 ”Hehe, thank you very much.”

 ”N-No… I’m really sorry it’s so boring…”

 Everyone quickly reassures, “No way! It’s way better than Kaede-san’s dumbbells or Emily-san’s cat goods!”

 Lazuli-san, prompted by Emily-san, draws a remaining piece of paper.

 ”Um… it’s from Uruha-oneechan.”

 ”Yay! I was worried I might never get picked, so I was kind of anxious!”

 The moving-in gift from Uruha-san was bath goods.

 Immediately, Uruha-san calls out to Lazuli-san, “Let’s take a bath together!”

 With this, Lazuli-san, who had been trending in the bath cancellation circle, might happily decide to take a bath on her own.

 ”Okay, then am I next? Ah… it’s Lapis-chan’s! Yay!”

 ”Is it me!?”

 The moving-in gift chosen by Lapis-san was something like stationery and notebooks.

 ”Um, um… I thought it would be nice to use this to become friends with everyone and maybe do a diary exchange about brother… s-sorry!”

 ””””””””””So cute~~~~!””””””””””

 Everyone hugs Lapis-chan all at once.

 I think doing a diary exchange about Aa-sama would definitely be fun for everyone!!

 ”Um, but I feel like this isn’t really a present for Uruha-san…”

 ”Then, next time, when we take a bath with Lazuli-chan, let’s all 3 go together. That can be my present.”

 ”Is that okay?”

 ”Yeah!”

 Uruha-san happily holds hands with both Lapis-san and Lazuli-san.

 Aa-sama also said this, but is Uruha-san really 16 years old?

 I feel like among the current members, she is the most like a big sister and a mom…

 ”Alright, Lapis-chan, go ahead.”

 ”Okay! Ah… it’s from Ayana-san!!”

 Lapis-san happily opens the bag she received from Emily-san for Tsukimachi-san’s housewarming gift.

 ”This is… the matching ribbons that Kazuya-niisama gave to Sayuki and Rina during the summer festival on Yuu-onii!”

 Everyone looks happy for a moment, but then they remember the trauma from the last time and their faces turn dark.

 Someone whispers, “We want our Rina back.”

 Even in this situation, Kohina Yukari-san, who played Sayuki, looks calm.

 Well, as long as Lapis-san is happy, I guess it’s okay.

 I just hope that Lapis-san, who is actually Aa-sama’s little sister, doesn’t become a yandere sister after receiving the special cursed item.

 ”So, did we go around once? Is there anyone who hasn’t drawn yet?”

 ”Yes!”

 ”Yes!”

 It seems like only 2 people are left.

 The two of them look at each other.

 ”Ugh, why are you the one left?”

 ”Well, that’s what I was going to say, what’s up with that?”

 Eeek! Everyone freezes as they see Kohina Yukari-san facing Mikuni-sama.

 ”Hey, you guys! Why did you leave these two for last?!”

 ”It can’t be helped. That’s just how it turned out!!”

 Uh, this is strange.

 Even though summer just started, I feel a chill.

 Among us, Marin-san, who was calm, steps forward and stands between the two.

 ”Both of you, hey! Since we’re going to live together from now on, you have to get along! Come on, Emily-chan, give them the moving-in gift you bought yourself.”

 ”Understood!!”

 Emily-san, now fully in her helper mode, quickly hands the bag with the moving-in gift to Kohina Yukari-san and Mikuni-sama.

 ”Now, you two say ‘Congratulations on the move’ and exchange gifts. It’s fine that you two are rivals as actors, but I won’t allow that rivalry to come into the Shirogane household!!”

 ”Marin, you’re so cool!!”

 ”That’s right, that’s right!”

 Hearing Marin-san’s words, Mikuni-sama lets out a light sigh.

 ”Yeah, I was being stubborn and acting childish. Kohina Yukari, nice to meet you again. And thank you for always looking after Aqua-kun. Congratulations on the move.”

 ”…I’m sorry for being stubborn too. Let’s just get along normally here. I kind of realized Aqua was your child partway through, and if I had noticed sooner… well, that’s just an excuse. Either way, I would have done the same thing, so I won’t apologize for that. Also… congratulations on the move.”

 The two of them relax and show natural smiles as they exchange moving-in gifts and shake hands.

 Seeing this, Emily-san claps her hands while crying, and we all join in with applause.

 ”Wow, that was great! By the way, what did you both get?”

 Kohina Yukari and Mikuni looked at each other, then opened the moving celebration bags they were holding.

 ”What’s this? A video disc of the unreleased drama starring Yukishiro Mikuni? Hmm, are you telling me to study acting by watching this?”

 ”…A video disc of the new drama starring Kohina Yukari before it airs? Oh, so I guess my acting isn’t good enough yet, and you want me to learn from you?”

 Just when things were going well, sparks flew between the two again.

 ”Hi, hi~!!”

 The host, Emily, looked shocked and almost fell over.

 Seeing this, Kohina and Mikuni exchanged glances and stuck out their tongues, laughing at each other.

 It seemed like it was a prank they came up with on the spot.

 ”Emily-chan, if you’re getting tricked by acting like this, you still have a long way to go.”

 ”Kohina Yukari is right. Emily-chan is skilled and has talent, but she often relies on improvisation, so it’s better to learn the basics properly. I’m not good at teaching, so you should probably learn from Kohina Yukari.”

 ”W-well, I’d rather not have that, so please spare me…”

 ”Hey, why don’t you want my guidance?”

 Hehe, hehehe!

 It’s really fun to be with everyone.

 And so, our moving celebration exchange for the Shirogane Kingdom ended safely?
