Facing their Mother (2)

Unfortunately, I also can't just tell her I'm studying business theories with Mizuki or that I'm doing a part-time job at a boxing gym as an instructor. Those were not valid qualifications in her eyes to be with her daughters. But I had to make her understand somehow.

"Auntie can continue to be against me but please, don't judge them because of their choice," I said, my voice filled with a mix of respect and challenge. "They're capable individuals who know their hearts better than anyone else."

At this, Maaya and Himeko looked at each other, a silent communication passing between them. It was clear they weren't going to let their mother's disapproval dictate their happiness. They had each other, and with me by their side, they had the strength to face whatever came next.

"Ya-chan, what will you do if both mother and father disapprove of Ruki for us?" Himeko asked her little sister.
