 Miyo found herself at her old house. There, a woman kneeled and begged Shiniji. Apparently she didn't have much of life left.
"Please take care of our daughter."
"I don't care, Sumi. It was a huge mistake for me to marry you. If I had known that you were having such a useless child, I would have disappeared during the inquiry."
Then she took his hand.
His reaction to this, that he was to push her away.
"Women who are unable to make an offspring without Gifts, are nobody in my eyes. You will soon be dead like a gushed dog. That's good news for me. At least I can marry a worthy woman. As for your daughter, she can go among the servants."
Shiniji went back to the mansion. Then Sumi turned to Miyo and descended to her knees.
"I'm sorry you've been through so much suffering and I'm such a terrible mother. I hope that when you get older you will find happiness, my daughter."

Before she could react anything, she woke up with gasp. It was just a dream, but it was different. Because this woman named Sumi was directly said to her. Really, she's her mother. There is not much memory left of her, as she passed away when she was only three years old. She shook her head and looked up at the window. She fell asleep, since she should have cooked in such in this time. She ran towards the kitchen, where Yurie had just washed the dishes.
"Good morning, Miyo." she greeted her with a bow. "The breakfast is ready."
"Indeed? I'm so sorry I fell asleep" she said fast.
"It's okay."
"Where is danna-sama?"
"He left after breakfast. He said he had something important to do."
"I see." She said and take food. She headed for the dining room where Mineta had just consumed his breakfast.
"Good morning."
"Good morning to you, princess." he said with a smile. "Are you slept well?"
"Yes." she answered and sat down. "Tell me, did you have strange dreams?"
"Sure. They've been pretty scary or naughty lately. In rare cases both, because I don't think anyone else would dream of topless female clowns... nevermind. It's to complicated to explain. Why do you ask?"
Miyo didn't answer, she just ate her breakfast. Then Mineta took over the washing up, so she could talk to Yurie. Namely, she wanted to reciprocate Kudou's kindness. Fortunately she was in the kitchen and drank tea.
"What gift could I give to danna-sama?"
"That's an interesting question." she muttered. "I think it doesn't matter however we look at it. He will evaluate intent."
"If I may remark, the gift should be like the aorta. come from the heart." Mineta said, and incomprehensible eyes received his comment. "I mean, that you should make it with your own hand."
"I was gonna go shopping anyway. You can buy the ingredients there."
Miyo smiled at this.
"Thank you and I want to go with you."
They left the house after quick preparation.

Meanwhile, Kouji was sitting in the courtyard of the Tatsuishi residence and was immersed in his thoughts. It is safe for anyone to say, that he was the one who sucked the marriage exchange the most. Miyo would have married him, but instead he got Kaya. She's superior, cocky and without empathy who thinks she's the biggest star in the world. She gets into trouble with anyone she doesn't like, and the're already had to leave a restaurant to this. And the last time, she targeted Kudou's servant, except she was the one who drew the short straw. When she learned that he had not received any punishment, he could listen to her negative opinion. His thinking was interrupted by his brother Kazushi.
"Well, well brother. You really think about something, right?"
He looked up to him. His older brother, with light purple hair and eyes, was best known for his smile. Wither out of a good mood or with a sneaky intention, no one could have known. Without waiting for his reply, he continued.
"Although, you are in the worst position. With Kaya, life is completely unbearable. Our father did a shovel to do so when he went in with the exchange of."
"Kaya is not a bad girl. Just..."
"Even you can't said without looked the reality of this. However, if you stood on your heels and stepped up, you could start re-indoctrinating this woman long ago. After all, tough action against it is lacking."
"And what do I do if I act physically and mentally? Nothing and this you know very well..."
Kojui's lips stuck together before he could finish his saying. He could hardly squeeze. It was Kazushhi's work to be silent with his Gift, Telepathy.
"Forgive me for not being curious with your unreasonable explanations. All I'm saying is that this meek mentality will lead to a catastrophe that puts your life or others one's at risk. You'd better listen to me. But if that's not enough confirmation of my truth, notice that I'm one of the few that this blonde witch doesn't dare step into. Why, you ask? Because she knows very well that she will go wrong. But I won't take my time with you anymore. Bye."
With that sentence, he headed towards his room, so the mute was also removed. Outside, Kaya's voice could be heard.
"Servant! Get to Kouji right away!"
He looked at the way he heard. Kazushi met her. That's what his brother said give conformation. For she really did not say not only a word, but also stood aside and dared not look into his eyes. This humility lasted only until she saw him.
"What would you like, Kaya?"
"I will not ask, but I will command. Dress up normally! We're going to walk!"
"Fine." he replied and stood up. If that weren't enough, life would give him another example of taking his brother's good advice.
