the accounting manager's housewife | mysta rias

episode thirty-one

EPISODE 31

the dinner was a disaster.

at first, it went well. kirsten and harmonica came, kirsten brought up the new addition to the stroude clan, and the next thing they all knew, kirsten was already joking about mysta.

they were all indeed jokes. but knowing how pissy y/n is, he should have been careful with his words. after three attempts with the awkward mysta stroude, y/n lost her patience, snapped at kirsten, and caused a little argument in the room.

y/n almost took her gun out and shot kirsten if it wasn't for mysta stopping the commotion.

harmonica was disappointed in her niece for losing her cool, lyra was disappointed with her husband, and the fight ruined everyone's appetite which caused the dinner to be adjourned earlier than intended.

what caused more anger was when harmonica stroude said this line;

"a kaneshiro-stroude thanksgiving would have been better without mysta rias!"

which pissed her dear niece more for three reasons.

one, how dare she say that?

two, the dinner would've gone well if it wasn't for kirsten acting so close with mysta.

three, mysta is a damn STROUDE.

hah! y/n would've flipped the table upside down if mysta and lacresse weren't around. when harmonica first left the dinner, kirsten followed, only to be chased by y/n.

legends say that up until now, y/n is still chasing her uncle.

"we're really sorry, mysta. my sister is really strict with 'prim and proper'ness and she never liked how hot-headed y/n is." mei calmly explained.

now, mysta is staying with his wife's parents to seek comfort.

karlos sighed. "seriously, what was kirsten thinking? why would he joke like that like you two have known each other for 10 years? i wouldn't even joke like that."

mysta just shut his mouth up. he actually didn't mind kirsten's jokes nor was he offended. but the fact that he and kirsten were close before is unknown to everyone, hence their reactions to kirsten's blabbering were reasonable and right.

especially if you have a very protective wife.

my wife won't even let the grandmas in the market catcall me, let alone this. mysta thought and sighed.

"but we also do hope you understand y/n's reaction to this. in fact, if i were her, i would be angry too!" mei said with flaring nostrils.

mysta just laughed a little and stayed silent for the rest of the night. mysta knows kirsten very well. kirsten won't hurt his family. and kirsten likes y/n, as far as mysta could remember.

after a few minutes of just staring at the extravagant ceiling, mysta stood up and caught the attention of the married couple.

"i'll search for y/n."

"oh, honey. i don't think that's a good idea." mei honestly said. "the mansion is too big."

"i'll be fine. i think." mysta said and went to the door. "thank you for letting me stay for a bit, mama, papa. i'll be returning with y/n soon."

"shouldn't we stop him?" mei asked her husband after mysta left.

but karlos just stared at the door mysta disappeared from, his expression blank yet his eyes dark.

"he'll be fine."

mysta first took the elevator. there was an attendant inside.

"uhm, to the... ground floor?" mysta hesitated.
