Kudou covered her mouth, and laughed

softly.

“I heard you were going to be Kiri-sama’s wife,

Touya-san. Congratulations.”

He was surprised the story had

reached her already. Then again, the way Natsuki and Akio were going

about, it wasn’t impossible.

“Well, nothing has been

decided yet.”

“……is that so? Natsuki and Akio must be

fond of you though, it would suit you. But, if you become his wife,

Touya-san, there will no longer be a use for me.”

The color

of Kudou’s face suddenly darkened. Touya had never considered anyone

in this house thought that sort of thing about him being there.

“No

way. You were in this house before me, Kudou-san, don’t say

that.”

“……you think I’m a necessity? In that case,

please put in a good word for me when the time comes.”

“Of

course. Besides, I haven’t decided if I’m going to become his wife or

not.”

Even if someone did become his wife, Kiri probably

wouldn’t drive away the one who always made their meals. Natsuki and

Akio loved Kudou’s cooking too.

“Really? You should decide

soon. But, if that’s what you’re saying, I’m relieved.”

Kudou

smiled, but suddenly she stumbled as if she were dizzy. Touya

frantically held her up.
