Volume 13 Chapter 216-2 Kujou Yoshimi, Unnecessary Intrusion
Edited by: Kanaa-senpai
[Shirogane Aqua: No, it’s the other way around! Thank you for coming that time!]
[Kujou Yoshimi: If I’m ever near Kyoto, I’ll definitely stop by. I’ll make sure to thank you properly.]
[Shirogane Aqua: Haha, Kohina-senpai, I’m always indebted to you. Please don’t worry about it.]
[Kujou Yoshimi: No, it’s not okay. If there’s anything I can do, please tell me. I’ll do anything!]
[Shirogane Aqua: Anything!? Mom…you shouldn’t use such casual words lightly!]
That’s true, isn’t it?
Even though the noble families are disbanded now, I’m still a member of the Kujou family.
Kukuri-sama’s voice disbanded the nobles, but that was just recently.
The noble families with a strong foundation, who already secured their status and amassed funds, still have a significant influence in politics and economics, even after losing their noble titles.
Take Fuji Ranko of the Fuji Zaibatsu and Fuji Shion, who secretly acts as a fixer for the ruling party, as examples.
’What?’
”S-so, that…I heard you caught a cold the other day…”
Hearing Yukari’s voice, I was moved to tears.
Ah, even if she hangs up angrily afterward, yelling, ‘That’s all you had to say!’ I’d be satisfied.
But, Yukari didn’t hang up.
’Don’t worry. It’s just a little fatigue from a 2-night, 3-day trip.’
”S-so it is. Then that’s good.”
I heard Shirogane Kingdom has the best medical staff, according to the online forums.
So I think it’s okay, but even a simple cold makes me worry.
What if it’s not just a cold? What if…maybe Aqua isn’t sick, but…
I hastily probed Yukari.
”By the way, what’s going on with Aqua-sama?”
’Aqua-sama!?’
Oh, shoot.
I coughed lightly.
”Mom mentioned it, so I just caught it too.”
’Hmm. Well, I suppose that’s fine. Aqua…that’s right.Nothing special has been happening lately, though.’
Nothing special?
That’s strange.
Honestly, there’s no way there’s *nothing* going on.
I mean, for him to be so sweet to Yukari, a normal guy wouldn’t act like that.
Thinking about it, it all makes sense now.
”By the way, when is your wedding?”
’Wedding? With who?’
Nn!?
With who else! Aqua-sama and Yukari’s wedding, of course!
Ugh!
”You’re still dense!
”It’s with Aqua-sama.”
’Whoa!? My wedding with him!? W-what are you talking about, suddenly! Did you hit your head?’
I see…
So you two are secretly dating.
Aqua-sama and Yukari are both celebrities, top idols and the number one actress in Japan.
If they were to be together, it would cause a huge uproar.
That’s why you can’t tell me about it, can you?
Yes, yes!
Unlike you, I understand perfectly.
”Mother isn’t sleepy. More importantly, Yukari…are you treating Aqua-sama the same way even when you’re alone?”
’What!? Why are we going off on a tangent!’
I’m not saying anything weird, you know.
If there’s something my daughter Yukari lacks, I have to provide support as a mother, even if it means assisting with romantic endeavors and…nighttime activities.
”Honestly, that’s enough. Your reaction tells me everything.”
’What do you mean by that!?’
Didn’t Aqua-sama say in a magazine interview that she likes girls in uniforms?
Luckily, for when Yukari and I reconcile, to help her regain those lost ten years, I’ve kept all her old uniforms, gym clothes, and school swimsuits.
Yukari was just about to toss out the trash when Mom stopped her and made me take care of it properly.
Of course, Yukari’s used school bag and hat are tucked away safely in the closet, just like when she was little.
Yukari entered puberty early, so she was already at her current height when she was a child.
Sadly, her growth stopped there, but thanks to that, she can probably still wear her old clothes.
”I’ll send Mom what she needs later, okay?”
’I don’t know what you’re going to send, but if you send me something weird, I’m throwing it away!’
That would be a problem.
Oh, speaking of which, Aqua-sama said that when sending Kohina-senpai something she might discard, it’s best to put a cushion between it and send it to Yukishiro Emily-san.
I’ll put together my secret collection and send it to her later.
She’s much more insightful than Yukari, so she’ll definitely understand everything and use it wisely.
’Stop it! If you keep calling me with these ridiculous requests, I’m hanging up!’
Ah….
I thought Yukari was going to hang up, but suddenly I feel lonely.
’Hey…. You were secretly meeting with Grandma all the time, weren’t you?’
”Eh, yeah…”
I guess she didn’t like it after all?
I hold the phone to my ear and pace back and forth in the room.
’…When are you coming back again?’
”Eh?”
I almost dropped the phone in shock.
’So, I’m asking when you’re coming back again! That is, if you’re going to visit Grandma, show your face here too!’
”Yukari…”
I put my hand to my mouth and tears start to fall.
I never thought a day like this would come.
Really?
Can I actually go see her?
I…I’m going now…no, I’ll go right now.
Will that be okay?
’That’s exactly what I’m talking about! I’m hanging up this time for real!! Ah, and…Mom, don’t catch a cold. Stay warm and get plenty of rest! See you!’
Yukari’s call ends abruptly.
I wipe my tears and immediately have the maids prepare everything.
Might as well give YukishiroEmily-san this secret collection too.
If Yukari puts on a school swimsuit, I’m sure even Aqua-sama would be delighted.
While I was pasting gum tape on a cardboard lid, the helpers in the back were playing rock-paper-scissors to see who gets to go to Tokyo.
”All right then, I’m off. I’m leaving the house in your care.”
”Okay…”
I waved goodbye to the helpers, who were sulking over their rock-paper-scissors loss, and left the house behind.
Hehe, oh well, I guess I’ll pick up some souvenirs from the Shirogane Kingdom for the girls while I’m at it.
Kohina’s mother: “Yukishiro Emily-san, take this”
Emily: “This… this is!? Guhehe, don’t worry, Mom. I’ll take full responsibility for it. I have a proper warehouse for it at home.”
That’s the kind of exchange they had.
