(Koizumi Tsubaki/Yukishiro Himeko's POV)

I opened the door through the dining room and sat at the table with Hotaru and Seijuro-san. I greeted them a good morning and they greeted me back.

"Where's Shiori-san?"

"In the kitchen," Seijuro-san simply answered.

"And Masaomi-san?"

"... Chichiue(Father) went to the company's building for he is going to have an early meeting with his employees," his son replied.

"I see."

'He must be talking about his father's company. The Akashi Company. And someday, he'll inherit it....'

The truth is, the Akashi Company is a long time rival of Yukishiro Company in the industry of Japan.

'What a relieve! That's a great news to me!' I sighed internally in gladness that Masaomi-san isn't here. Yesterday dinner, I was so nervous around Masaomi-san that I made extra double effort on my etiquettes. It was tiring. I earned a praise from him so it wasn't a futile effort. But the whole time while we were eating was really awkward and quiet. Only the clinking of the utensils can be heard. It was hard to eat the delicious foods that Shiori-san made for us because of that. I hope today will be different. I'm so happy that I survived the day 1. I wonder if I can, too, today?

"Thank you for waiting," Shiori-san, Hajime-san, and Hitsuji-san entered in, carrying trays with them. I was so surprised that I clapped my hands when I saw Hitsuji-san can carry a tray with a dish on top of his head as he balanced it and Hajime-san can carry 4 trays, 2 each on his arms.

"Hitsuji-san and Hajime-san, you're both amazing!"

"So cool!" commented Hotaru.

"Thank you very much," said Hajime-san.

"I'm happy to hear that from you, Himeko-sama and Hotaru-sama," Hitsuji-san said.

They placed the foods in front of us. We waited till Shiori-san took her seat gracefully beside her son.

'Everything Shiori-san does is so elegant! As expected of a true lady! I wonder if I can be like that, too, someday.... Just kidding! I can't even imagine myself being like that.'

""""Itadakimasu!""""

Munch. Munch.

Munch. Nom.

Munch. Munch. Munch....

"Oishii! Shiori-san, you really are a great cook!"

"I'm glad you liked it, Himeko-san," she smiled at me.

Glare.

'Hiii-ih!!' A cold shiver run down my spine.

Slowly like a robot, I turned my head to that person's direction. 'Seijuro-san!? Why are you giving me a scary look? What did I do to you...!?'

When Shiori-san looked at her son, Seijuro-san's expression turned into an innocent happy child. No one seemed to notice that ,except me.

"How is it?"

"As always, it's delicious that I am beyond speechless, hahaue(mother) ."

Shiori-san smiled blissfully when she heard that from him.

'Mabushi....'

"I'm so happy to hear that, Seijuro-san."

He smiled back at her before secretly glaring at me. 'Again. What did I do to you?'
