Comeuppance

Like always, Hitomi drove me to school after sending Otoha to their school gates. Apart from the upcoming dinner with Otoha's family, I also got to hear about what's happening on Hitomi's side.

Her grandfather, the eccentric old man's butler, was somehow forced by us to accept our relationship. Her direct family, who also served different members of the Kaneko, eventually learned of it. Obviously, their reaction was pretty much the same.

They hold such an emphasis on being servants of the Kaneko Family, so when they found out that she was also involved with the boyfriend of her young lady, they immediately told her to drop it.

However, Hitomi had already made her decision. She's one stubborn woman too so even with their objection, she won't budge. Her loyalty to her family was unquestionable but her love for me was something she had decided on her own accord.

“See you tomorrow, Hitomi.”

“Yes. Be well, Ruki-sama.”

“You still won't call me with just my name.”
