“How’s it going? Your engagement with him.”

When Rei returned home for the first time in a while, her father, Nansei Touya, the head of the Nanase family, asked her that question.

“It’s going well.”

“I see. That’s good. It took a lot of effort to get to the engagement stage.”

“Is that so?”

“Yes, at first he was quite reluctant. But the current head of the Ichijo family took a liking to you at first sight, so it worked out.”

Before meeting Minato, Rei had the opportunity to meet his father, Ichijo Shin’ya.

At that time, they only exchanged introductions and made small talk, but Shin’ya seemed to take a liking to Rei, and the subsequent discussions proceeded smoothly.

“The other party is Ichijo Minato, the heir to the Ichijo family. You must absolutely marry him. If you do, it will bring great benefits to our Nanase family.”

“Yes, that was my intention from the start.”

(As expected, he only sees him as Ichijo Minato, the next head of the Ichijo family.)

Rei simply liked Minato and used engagement as a means to that end, but Touya was different. He was interested in the Ichijo family’s connections, power, and wealth.

Rei hated her father for that.

“By the way, how far did you go with him? Did you at least kiss him?”

A question that a typical high school girl wouldn’t ask came flying at her.  

Thinking that this person lacks tact, Rei answered.  

“No, not yet.”

“……You held hands, right?”

“Not yet either.”

“……” 

“But we did hug.””

This had already happened before the engagement.  

Upon hearing Rei’s words, Touya clutched his head.

“Do you understand? This is the engagement you desired. A breakup is not permitted.”

“With all due respect, Father, we have our own pace. Your interference is unnecessary.”

“Then fine….but make sure to deepen your relationship properly.”

“Yes, I will make sure of it.”

Rei smiled awkwardly and left the room.
