Akari and Nana were riding in the limousine driven by Rulia’s helper, Saburo.
“Say, Akari-chan,” Saburo asked with a worried look on his face. “Is it really okay? Leaving without telling Oka-san?”
It was… that way. To settle things once and for all, Akari and Nana had left Tokyo as they were.
“Yeah. This is something only I and my older sister can resolve… it’s a family matter.”
The issue Akari and the others needed to settle. A family matter.
They had, after all, been living out of their home for some time now.
Akari and the others had been so fulfilled lately that they were almost forgetting about it. No… they had been turning a blind eye to it.
But when it came to marriage, they couldn’t just say nothing to their family. They were still minors.
No matter how much the law changed and bigamy became okay, that didn’t change their status.
They probably wouldn’t get permission, but they had to let their guardians know at least once.
They needed to do things by the book before proceeding.
It wouldn’t be right to force that responsibility onto Oka… ”…”
The worst-case scenario flashed through Akari’s mind: the worst mother. And then…… the worst father.
She didn’t want to face either of them. But… “It’s okay, Akari-chan.” “O-shi…”
Nanako, sitting beside her, gripped Akari’s hand gently, yet firmly. “We’ll get through this. Together.”
She could feel the tremor in her sister’s grip.
Yes, for a sister who hated men, their father was by far the most difficult person to deal with.
Haven’t you been a victim of his actions too?
More than anyone else, it stands to reason that she is the last one in the world who wants to see him.
And yet, she had come along. She had made up her mind with serious intent to marry Okaya.
“……Yeah. Let’s do our best. If we stick together, we can handle it.”
Usually, Akari would cheer her sister up with a bright, encouraging spirit.
But she couldn’t do that now. With expressions still tinged with anxiety, they headed toward the family home. 【★Important Announcement】
