Takeo knocked on the living room door.

After receiving permission to enter, he opened the door and entered inside.

Grandpa Elvis, Alice, Smith, and Fredrick were seated inside.

“Excuse me.”

He entered in.

“Mr. Elvis, I have returned.”

“Welcome back Takeo.”

“Lady Alice, young master Smith I’m back.”

“Yes, welcome back.”

“Welcome back.”

Takeo placed his stuff at the end of the room and took his seat.

“So I’ve taken the delivery of the suit and the coat.

I’ll tell you about the trench coat after dinner.”

“Good work.”

Takeo asked.

“So? What happened?”

“About what?”

“The stuff from my room is gone…………”

“………Takeo, your reaction is too weak.”

“No, I would have worried if I was staying over somewhere.

The only person who would be responsible for mischief in this house is Mr. Elvis.

……………What was everyone expecting?”

“Hmm. I was expecting you to come in yelling, ‘WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS!’.

Alice was expecting you to go and consult her. ‘What happened?’

Smith was expecting you to check the room again from one end.

Fredrick was expecting you to go to him and speak to him about the mastermind……..”

“………………I think Mr. Elvis was the closest?”

“But it was a complete loss.”

“Somehow I feel apologetic. What should I do to make it up to you?”

“Fufu, that won’t be necessary.”

Alice said.

“Takeo.”

“Yes.”

“We moved Alice and your room to the room at the back of the house.”

“……………..Are we allowed to stay in this mansion?”

“Did you wish to move out?”

“No…………………I mean if you think about it, it’s impossible for Lady Alice and me to live by ourselves, just the two of us.”

“Eh? Why?”

Smith asked. Alice was making a face that said ‘That’s not true.’

“Because…………. Lady Alice is a sheltered Lady so there is no way that she can live without someone to serve her right?”

“Si………….Sir Takeo! I can live!!”

Alice protested fiercely.

“……………..Mr. Elvis, what do you think?”

“………………I also think that Alice will not be able to live like that…………”

“Grandfather, not you too!!”

Alice swells up her face and protests.

“Yes, yes. Don’t get too angry now.”

Takeo said.

“But! If you say it like that!”

“Lady Alice is an aristocrat.

You’ve only had a life where there was someone to serve you.

I doubt that you would suddenly be able to live alone with just the two of us.”

Takeo smiled.

“Uuu………………if you say it like that.”

“That’s why going to live by ourselves is like choosing death.”

“Sir Takeo!!”

Alice protested again but Takeo slipped through.

“That’s what I was thinking about young master Smith.”

“I see. I am also the same. I can’t really live by myself.”

“However, someday we will have to decide to live by ourselves.”

“Eh? Can’t you live in this mansion forever?”

Smith asked.

“No, I feel that that also depends on the personality of your wife young master Smith.

If she has a big enough heart to feel that it would be good if your sibling and her spouse were to live together with you then it will be good.”

“My wife!?”

“Yes. I mean it’s your wife, right? You cannot really hurt her………..”

“Hmm. That’s a future issue. For the time being you guys can stay in the room at the back.”

“Yes. Thank you.”

“By the way, your room………..there is another similar room facing your room.

That is the room of the next head and their spouse.

Smith will move there when he gets married.”

“Uhh, understood.

But there is still sometime before I move there.”

“Hmm…………that might be the case or it might not be………..”

“Eh? It’s still a long way away.

I don’t even have a person I like.”

Smith said.

“Smith, don’t you have an example right in front of your eyes?

It’s only been 5 days and yet…………..Smith, you might also end up doing a lightening fast marriage.”

“Uhh………….grandfather, the way you put it is…”

Alice smiled.

“But it was sudden.

What about the furniture?”

“We’ll be using what my parents used to use for the time being.

We’ll go and buy new furniture at a later date.”

“I see. Then, Lady Alice, I’ll leave it to you.”

“………It’s expected that you will be coming with me, Sir Takeo.”

“………….I don’t mind you choosing what you like.”

“No way. We’re going together.”

“…………Yes.”

Takeo and Alice decided to go together.

“Fufu. Takeo is already wrapped around Alice’s finger.”

Grandpa Elvis grinned.

“If you can take good care of your wife then the household will be perfect right?”

“Is that so?”

“Yes. If the husband is too strong as well then the quarrels will never end, right?

If the wife is well taken care of then she will use her husband well.

Well, if the wife is too strong as well then it depends on their individual ability to handle it all.”

“Fufu, Sir Takeo. Are you going to be able to capture me well?”

Alice smiled and asked.

“Eh? Haven’t I already? Didn’t you notice?”

“Eh!? When!?”

“The french toast dipped in pudding………”

“Ah!”

“See you held your stomach.”

“Uuu…………..”

Alice made an expression that said that she fell for it.

“What’s this? Takeo won’t lose either.”

“Yes, but in order to make things go well I must ensure that I feed Lady Alice’s stomach properly.”

Takeo smiled.

“………………….I won’t only get floored by food though?”

“Haha. I’ll think about that from here on.”

They continued to chat about various things in the living room until they were informed that dinner had been prepared.

“Everyone, the dinner has been prepared.”

All of them got up from their seats and headed to the dining room.
