Kana was walking towards her room and she couldn't help but laughed a little. I hope Kirishima-san won't feel too pressured by Father.

The servants greeted her as she passed by them and she greeted back with her usual kind smile. The servants couldn't help but feel that their day has become brighter once they see her smile.

She finally arrived and once she entered her room and closed the door before her, Kana released a sigh and stood by the door frame for a while.

Kana then walked towards her nightstand where there were some stuffs besides the tale lamp. A jar of water with an empty glass cup and some tissues on the table. Inside one of the drawers were some medications that have been prescribed to Kana ever since she was in her junior year.

She poured a glass of water before taking out one of the medicines which is for after lunch. She then took out two pills and stared at them in her palm.

"... Until when do I have to take these..." Kana said softly to no one, her once gentle façade soon turned into a small frown. She shakes her head before taking in the pills and swallowed them with water.

"I wonder what did Father talk about with Kirishima-san."

Back in the Dining Room

"It seems the rumors are true." Naohiro started. "The Demon of the Sakuragi Family has started babysitting the only child and daughter of Sakuragi Kazuhiko."

"... Yes. Excuse me but, how-"

"How do I know? Hah." Naohiro snorted. "Normally this kind of topic is only spread around the yakuza gangs. And seeing that I spoke of this, I'm sure you have figure it out, right? Kirishima."

The said male gulped.

Usually, Kirishima wasn't afraid of any yakuza but somehow, Naohiro was different compared to others. Is it because he is speaking with the head of a family himself? He wasn't sure.

"... You're a yakuza too."

Naohiro didn't give any reaction but continued on, "But you didn't hear of the 'Ichinomiya Family' before, did you? Well, it would be a surprise if you did know about us."

Seeing the confused look on Kirishima's face, Fuyumi decided to speak on behalf of her husband. "It's because we are more hidden from others, Kirishima-kun. No one knows about us unless Nao make the family known to others. Hence, it wouldn't be a surprise if the Sakuragi doesn't know about us."

"But why?"

"Hm. No reason. The Ichinomiya Family has always been this secret for generations." Fuyumi shrugged before giving a small smile towards the 28-year-old.

Generations?!

"Yes. Only those who has formed an alliance with us has heard about us. Which is why, Kirishima-kun." Naohiro then looked at the male in a serious manner. "I was wondering if your family would like to cooperate with us?"

"Huh?" Kirishima blinked. He was not expecting this request.

"It doesn't have to be an alliance or cooperation. We can start of with acquaintances first. Seeing how Reina-chan and the daughter of Sakuragi are friends, it wouldn't be weird if the parents get to know each other too."
