Friday night.

I was at a restaurant in a fancy hotel.

I’m kind of scared…..when I eat at a nice restaurant like this, there’s a lot of hassle.

When the waiter showed me to my seat, there was a man in a black suit. My father, Ichijo Shinya, was already sipping wine while watching the night view.

“You’re here.”

“Long time no see, Dad.

“Yeah, it’s been a long time. Come on, take a seat.”

I sat down as he told me to, and apple juice was poured into my glass.

“I wanted a glass of non-alcoholic champagne.”

“Well, let’s have a toast anyway.”

I clinked my glasses lightly and a light, lean sound rang out.

Yeah, it’s delicious ! They use good apples, don’t they?

I had been trying to escape from reality by saying such things in my brain, but my father’s words brought me back to reality.

“Now.”

With that one word, the atmosphere changed.

Ah, I knew it…….

I had thought it was just a father-son meal, but my thoughts were shattered.

“Let me cut to the chase. You’ve got a new fiancée. Congratulations.”

“……Seriously?”

“Yeah, she’s got the perfect family background. I decided to accept. I’m happy for you.”

My father cracked a happy smile and clapped his hands.

I was not happy at all.

“And she looked really cute.”

“Why do you……”

“I thought that was your main concern.”

I was actually quite curious about that part.

But I never thought that what I heard yesterday would come back to haunt me…..tomorrow is my own day.

“We’re going to have a face-to-face meeting tomorrow, so don’t forget to come.”

“Eh !? Tomorrow !”

“Yeah, make sure you’re there.”

I couldn’t say no to my father, the current head of the family, after he’d told me so much.

“I understand.”

I reluctantly agreed.

The next day, I was forced to change into hakama when I arrived at the venue, a fancy inn restaurant.

“Why Hakama?”

“It’s only natural, they are wearing kimonos too. And as a member of the Ichijo family, I don’t want them to be embarrassed.”

After I finished changing into the hakama, my father led me to the room where my fiancee was waiting for me.

“Come on, she’s already waiting for you.”

“Wait a minute.”

I also get pretty nervous when I first meet the person I will be spending my future with.

I wonder what kind of person she is……I want to think that it’s fine since my father gave permission, but…I’m still worried.

No, it’s okay. I’m sure it’ll be okay.

I told myself that and opened the sliding door.

In the center of the spacious room there was a table and a cushion, and a woman in a beautiful kimono was sitting there. Next to her was a man who looked like her father.

The problem was that the woman in the kimono looked very familiar.

Nanase Rei, a beautiful woman with long black hair and clear blue eyes, bowed her head toward me.

“Nice to meet you, my name is Nanase Rei, the eldest daughter of the Nanase family. Nice meeting you, Sir.”

Nanase smiled happily.
