Chapter 2 : Welcome to The Tennouji Family
I received permission from Hinako to visit the Tennouji family, and immediately after, received permission from Shizune-san as well.
After school, I got into the car with Tennouji-san and headed to the mansion that she usually lives in.
[So this is Tennouji-san’s house…]
Like Hinako, Tennouji-san also seemed to spend most of her time at her villa, so I was taken there instead of the main residence. However, like I thought at the time with Hinako, it was a large mansion that shouldn’t be labeled just a villa.
However, its appearance is vastly different compared to the Konohana family’s.
To describe it in a single word, it was gaudy. Beyond the large gate was a magnificent garden, and the colorful flowers planted there were beautiful even from a distance. People on the street would stop to take a peek. The gate and walls surrounding the mansion were also exquisitely decorated, and it felt like I was admiring a piece of art.
[Compared to the Konohana family, it’s a lot flashier…]
Unconsciously, such words escaped my mouth.
[Have you seen Konohana-san’s house?]
[Ah, no, that’s… I’ve been there a few times due to my parents circumstances]
[I see, that’s what you meant]
I almost slipped accidentally.
In fact, I live there every day, rather than just visiting it. But I couldn’t let her know that.
The gate opened and we headed for the mansion, surrounded by several servants.
Not a speck of dust fell on the wide path. It was well maintained.
[Gorgeous and majestic. That’s the policy of the Tennouji family. Even in the villa, that philosophy stays the same. …This garden here has also even been calculated to look beautiful even from the outside]
[…Indeed, I think it’s beautiful]
When I told her that, Tennouji-san smiled happily.
I entered the mansion. The interior was quite gorgeous, as I expected. There was a luxurious red carpet and gold and silver ornaments could be seen here and there. However, none of them were overly self-assertive, the light and their placements were well calculated, they all existed as a backdrop in the building.
It was as if I was looking at a movie set.
[Ah, Mirei! You’re back!]
At that moment, a male voice came from upstairs.
[Ara, father. I’ve returned]
Tennouji-san said so, and I quickly straightened my posture.
A man came down the white spiral staircase. He was a man with an all-back haircut and a dandyish beard. He was large in stature and gave off a powerful impression.
When I saw that person approaching me, I suddenly became nervous.
[T-Tennouji-san’s… father, is it?]
[Yes. When I told him I would invite Tomonari-san to my house today, he said he would love to meet you]
I wasn’t prepared for this. I rushed to regain my composure.
I bowed deeply to Tennouji-san’s father who came up to me.
[I am Tomonari Itsuki, and it’s nice to meet you. I’m always indebted to Tennouji-san at the academy]
[Umu. I am Tennouji Masatsugu. Please, make yourself feel at home]
The familiarity in his tone relaxed my nerves a bit.
[Father. He’s come here today not to deepen friendships, but for a study session]
[Ah, of course! Then study to your heart’s content!]
Masatsugu-san said with a bright smile.
But the next moment, his eyes narrowed and he whispered.
[Speaking of which, Tomonari-san. What’s your relationship with my daughter?]
[Eh? Uhm, we’re students of the same school…]
[Is that really all there is to it? Is there anything fishy about the two of you? Say, a relationship between a man and a woman―]
[―Father!]
Tennouji-san’s voice became sharp.
[Goodness. …We’re not in such an impure relationship]
[Well, if Mirei says so, then I guess she’s right]
Masatsugu nodded as Tennouji-san said with a blush on her cheeks.
Masatsugu-san may be more humorous than I expected. ―No, I can never be too careful. Even Keigon-san seemed gentle and kind towards his daughter at first. Perhaps Masatsugu-san also has a cold-hearted side.
[Mirei, are you sure you want to study table etiquette?]
[Yes. I’d like a British meal, if possible] (TN: I’m tempted to make a British joke, but I won’t)
Masatsugu-san puts his finger on his chin when he hears those words.
[Okay… this is a good opportunity. I’ll join in as well]
Masatsugu-san said while glancing at me.
[….Eh?]
Honestly, just having a study session at the Tennouji house is a hurdle.
Am I going to be dining with the president of a company that represents the country..?
And we move on. This is more focused on Tennouji-sama (as expected) so us Ojou-sama lovers would be enjoying this very much. We’ll get into deeper lore maybe 2 chapters later, idk we’ll see 🙂
Donations are very much appreciated.
