"Isn't it obvious?" With a thoughtful stroke of his chin, he studied Midori, piecing together an impression from her posture and attire.
"I wish to take you as my wife, and establish our baby's rightful status as the heir of the family."

"Foolish child! Why did you do that???"

"What else am I supposed to do, Grandpa?" Shuugo retaliated in defiance. "Everyone here wants her to leave and now she's gone. Shouldn't you all be happy?"

He then flashed Arata and Midori a vicious glare.

"Especially the two of you. She is gone, so we can all move on with our lives."

"It doesn't work like that, Onii-san..."
