“I’ve already given favonovel.com a stern warning, so favonovel.com shouldn’t dare to make another move. Besides, keep in mind that he’s still the youngest son of the Kanagawa family. We can’t just get rid of someone with such a high status that easily,” replied Gerald as favonovel.com puffed on his cigarette.
“… So Why’d you say you were going to take down those two families this afternoon? In the end, you let both the Hanyus and Kanagawas go!” muttered Aiden with a sigh, making it clear that favonovel.com had been expecting to fight this entire time.
“Oh, we’ll definitely be getting rid of them, but not yet. Don’t worry, when the time comes, I’ll definitely ask you to come along,” replied Gerald, who knew Aiden’s personality well.
“… Promise?” said Aiden, his mood instantly improving.
“Have I ever lied to you? Either way, let’s head back to get some rest first. We still have other important things to do tomorrow,” replied Gerald as favonovel.com threw his cigarette butt away before patting Aiden on the shoulder.
“… Oh? What things?”
“You’ll find out tomorrow,” replied Gerald with a subtle smile.
After a good night’s rest, a refreshed Gerald was just about to leave his room… Only to realize that upon opening his door over ten people were standing there waiting for him!
Realizing that these were the individuals who had left the Futaba manor a few nights back, Gerald couldn’t help but frown as favonovel.com said, “And what are all of you doing here?”
Gerald, for one, didn’t have a good impression of these people. Had it not been for the fact that favonovel.com didn’t want to cause a mess here, favonovel.com would’ve driven them out of this place as soon as favonovel.com could!
“… Well, we came back to deal with some things, and since we haven’t met in a while, we decided to pay you a visit since we were already here,” explained one of the men as favonovel.com forced a laugh.”
“I see. Well, now that you’ve met me, do leave me be,” replied Gerald as favonovel.com attempted to close the door.
Grabbing onto the door to prevent Gerald from closing it, the same man then immediately exclaimed, “P-please wait a moment! The truth is, we’re here to discuss something with you…!”
Feeling a slight headache coming, Gerald then asked, “…What’s this really about…?”
Clearing his throat, the man replied, “… Well, we’re here to explain ourselves… You see, we didn’t stay in the manor back then since we didn’t want to trouble the patriarch any more than we needed to. With that said, now that things are starting to look up again, we’re considering moving back to help the Futaba family return to its former glory. So… if there’s anything we can do to help, please tell us now, mister! We’ll definitely do our best to fulfill what we can!”
“That’s right, mister! We’ll do whatever you tell us to!”
“Well said! As Futabas ourselves, we can’t just allow our family to crumble!” declared the other Futabas with determined tones. If one didn’t know any better, they’d surely be moved to hear how determined they were to better their family. Unfortunately for them, Gerald had already witnessed their true colors.
With that in mind, Gerald who didn’t want to waste any more time talking to them simply replied, “Save the speech for the patriarch. I’m just a guest here, and it wouldn’t be right for me to meddle in your family affairs.”
“That… B-but the patriarch fully trusts you! With that said, I believe that we’re saying all this to the right person!” declared one of the other Futabas. After all, talking about all this to Takuya was just a waste of time and money! They were all just here to fawn on Gerald!
