"Excuse me, what are you doing?" asked Daichi.
The maid who was feeding the young lady salt was startled. She didn't expect someone behind her.
The maid turned around and bowed "Dear guest, we received an order from Mr. Azami. We are training the young lady to use the God's Tongue."
Obviously, the maid of the Nakiri family knew that there would be guests today. But they didn't expect the guests to come to the backyard.
"Is this okay? Your young lady is crying?" said Daichi angrily.
Thinking of what Azami did to Erina, it was really difficult for Daichi to stay calm.
"Of course there is no problem." A cold voice came from behind. "After all, Mana was trained this way."
Daichi turned around and saw a man with long black hair standing there with a pair of black gloves on his hands.
Daichi looked at the man who was scolded in the original book. He suppressed his anger.
For the first time, she smiled brightly and responded "The commander-in-chief probably doesn't know that you train the young lady in this way."
"It's like child abuse, Uncle Azami." Daichi secretly poked, after all, Nakiri's surname was Nakiri.
"It's just the teaching from my father." Azami said "The commander-in-chief will understand."
Hearing this, Daichi became even angrier. On the surface, he smiled more happily, and even narrowed his eyes.
"But, I don't think so, the young lady is crying, isn't she? Is uncle a little too hasty?" Daichi said with a smile.
"Maybe she was hurt by the clumsy maid." Azami looked at the maid and said "You are fired, go to collect your salary in the afternoon."
The maid didn't say anything, just bowed and left, leaving Erina sitting there alone watching the boy who was confronting her father.
This was the first time she saw someone dare to resist Nakiri since she was born.
Daichi still smiled "So it was the maid's fault! Then she should be taught a lesson. After all, people should put themselves in the right place. You are right, Uncle Azami."
Azami also smiled "Yes, the most important thing for people is to know themselves."
"Speaking of which, it is really rude. I haven't greeted the young lady yet." Daichi turned to Erina and said "Nice to meet you. My name is Daichi. Please give me more advice in the future."
"Nice to meet you. My name is Erina. Please give me more advice." Erina first looked at Azami. Seeing that he didn't speak, she turned her head and said to Daichi.
Under the sunshine of the courtyard, the boy standing in the sun and the girl in the shadow met for the first time.
"Then may I ask, young lady, did you really cry just now because of that careless maid lady?" Daichi opened his eyes and looked at Erina, his eyes full of affirmation and encouragement. "Or is it that someone is forcing you to do something you don't like?"
Erina looked at the man and the boy in front of her, the uncertain look in the man's eyes, and the encouragement in the boy's eyes. In the end, she lowered her head and said timidly "It's because the maid is too rude."
Hearing this, Azami smiled even more happily "What do you think? I'll tell you, Daichi, I'm Erina's father, how could I hurt her?"
'You are a scum who cheats on women's feelings, and you cheat on two people. One was pregnant and abandoned. In order to cheat the other, you are willing to marry into the family, and you dare to say that with your child as a tool to fulfill your dreams and win people's hearts!' Daichi thought.
On the surface, he still agreed "Uncle Azami is right. I am too worried about the young lady. Come to think of it, anyone with a little bit of family education should not have the idea of hurting their children. I am too worried." After saying that, he bowed deeply to Azami.
Erina was conflicted. She was afraid of her father, who had been an authority figure for a long time. She was also afraid that the boy in front of her who was not afraid of Azami would believe what Azami said.
Seeing Daichi apologize, the little hope in her heart turned into despair. Her eyes became empty.
Just as they were talking, Gin came over.
"Daichi, Azami and the young lady are here too! The commander-in-chief said that a banquet would be held. It would be great if they were all here. We can go together."
Daichi immediately responded "Okay, okay! Let's go, young lady, let's go eat." Daichi turned around and called Erina.
Seeing that she was still sitting there without any response, he ran over and took her hand and ran to the front hall together.
He said "Uncle, we'll go first, you guys hurry up!"
Gin saw the two kids running away and smiled and said to Azami "Sorry, Azami, this kid is used to being wild and doesn't know how to wait for adults. Let's go quickly, don't make the commander-in-chief wait impatiently."
When Gin and Azami arrived at the restaurant, the two children had already taken their seats. Senzaemon sat at the main seat, and Erina and Daichi sat at the last seat, waiting for them to serve the dishes.
The Nakiri family's private chef is very skilled, but the two people at the last seat were in no mood to eat. Erina was used to eating and was sad, while Daichi was thinking about how to put eye drops on Azami, and didn't even think about eating properly.
On the contrary, the three adults ate happily as if nothing had happened.
At this time, Daichi put on a familiar smile again and started his own journey of putting eye drops on. Gin, who was sitting sideways, was shocked by the smile on Daichi's face and almost choked. He had never seen Daichi smile like this before.
"Come to think of it, I don't seem to have seen Aunt Mana. Is she busy with something?" Daichi deliberately mentioned something that the Nakiri family didn't want to mention.
"Mana went to work at W.G.O. She's not in Japan." Azami replied.
"Oh, that's no wonder." Daichi deliberately said.
"What's no wonder?" It's rare to see his nephew talking so much, and Gin is happy to be able to make a joke.
"It's nothing, I just felt a little strange when I saw that it was Uncle Azami who dealt with the maid who didn't do her job well. I thought that this kind of situation was left to the mistress to decide. It turns out that Aunt Mana is not here! That's no wonder." Daichi continued to put on eye drops.
"But speaking of it, Aunt Mana is also very hard! She also has the talent of the God's Tongue. Today, I watched the training of the eldest lady and realized that this kind of sin is not for humans to bear."
"Suffer? How can you suffer?" asked Senzaemon. In his impression, Mana grew up eating the food of all the chefs of Totsuki. When Mana went to Totsuki to study, the God's Tongue could be said to have been activated.
Finally, it's time! Daichi restrained his smile and looked a little puzzled "Is it really not hard, Grandpa Marshal? But I feel that it is very hard to eat all kinds of different seasonings, and the maid is still clumsy. Today, when I was in the backyard, I saw Miss Erina crying, and the maid was still feeding the Miss salt. Fortunately, Uncle Azami came quickly and dealt with the maid, otherwise I don't know how many days the Miss would cry!"
As soon as these words came out, the whole restaurant fell into a dead silence.
And Erina, who was sitting opposite Daichi, was dumbfounded and stared at Daichi blankly. If you look from the perspective of an observer, those numb eyes gradually brightened.
