The white-haired old man spoke very respectfully.

"Yes! Mayumi's marriage couldn't be delayed any longer. As the eldest daughter of the Nanakusa family, I wanted to force her to stop being so willful."

"But since Miss has found someone she likes and the person is also in the interests of the Nanaku family, this is something to be happy about."

Butler Akikura was genuinely happy for Mayumi Nanagusa, as he had watched her grow up and had been her bodyguard ever since.

You could say that Mayumi Nanagusa is like his child.

"Yes!"

Hiroichi Nanakusa's cold expression gradually softened.

P.S.: Chapter 4 is here, the beach chapter. Next chapter to follow.

Chapter Sixty-Nine: The Beach

A damp, salty sea breeze blows, and as far as the eye can see, there is only an endless expanse of azure ocean and white fine sand, with a few scattered seashells dotting the beach.

She kicked off her sandals and placed her fair, delicate feet directly on the sand.

"So comfortable!"

Mayumi Nanagusa had a blissful expression on her face. The sand didn't hurt her feet at all; instead, it gently enveloped her toes. Plus, the warmth of the sand after being exposed to the midday sun felt like a foot bath.

"Mari, Kasumi, Izumi, you should try it too, it feels really good!"

The three girls were quite tempted by Mayumi Nanagusa's expression and followed suit, kicking off their sandals.

"What a pity! Junior Miyuki called yesterday and declined the offer."

Although it was just a spur-of-the-moment decision, Nanagusa Mayumi still made a special phone call that evening to ask Shiba Miyuki again.

As a result, she was politely rejected by Miyuki Shiba.

"Perhaps the siblings really have something to take care of!"

"After all, you've already found out some of their identities, haven't you?"

Kushima Mitsunori said meaningfully.

"That's true!"

Mayumi Nanagusa also shook her head. She had initially guessed that the Shiba siblings belonged to the missing lineage of the Fourth Research Institute, but after a long period of investigation and indirect questioning of Mitsunobu Kushima, she came to the terrifying conclusion that the Shiba siblings were actually from the Yotsuba family.

However, none of this really concerns her. It is her father who harbors hostility towards Yotsuba, and she personally doesn't feel any real connection to it.

"Hey Mayumi, Xiu just contacted me saying he managed to free up some time. Could he come along too?"

Watanabe Mari, her feet still covered in white sand, walked over to Nanagusa Mayumi while carrying her sandals.

Her face still had a slight flush, a result of her anticipation at the upcoming reunion with her long-lost lover.

"Of course! It's more fun to have more people playing together."

After receiving a perfectly reasonable answer from Mayumi Nanagusa, Watanabe Mari brushed the sand off her feet, told her she would pick her up at the airport, and then disappeared.

"Watanabe-senpai is as impatient as ever!"

Kushima Mitsunori chuckled as he watched Watanabe Mari's hurried departure.

"There's nothing we can do about it; after all, she and Chiba-kun haven't seen each other for a long time!"

Mayumi Nanagusa also said with the same smile.

"Alright, Izumi, Kasumi, let's go back to the villa to unpack our luggage, then change into our swimsuits before we go out to play!"

The two sisters agreed and ran back.

Mayumi Nanakusa brought them to an island in the Ogasawara Islands.

However, the island doesn't entirely belong to the Nanagus family. After all, even the Nanagus family couldn't afford to spend so much on entertainment if they bought the entire island.

Therefore, only this one-kilometer stretch of coastline enclosed by two high cliffs is the private beach belonging to the Nanagus family.

The beach is quite simply furnished, with only a three-story villa and a small yacht about 20 meters long moored at the dock.

Upon learning that Kushima Mitsunori would be driving a yacht, Nanakusa Mayumi simply gave all the employees responsible for maintaining the villa a day off.

This means that they need to prepare everything themselves.

Of course, although it was prepared by themselves, the villa was still thoroughly cleaned before the staff left.

They don't need to act like in anime, where they finally get a vacation and have to specially clean the villa first.

Both Nanakusa Izumi and Nanakusa Kasumi were wearing cute two-piece swimsuits, with white cover-ups draped over their shoulders, revealing only their four straight and slender legs.

"Sister, why didn't you change into your swimsuit?"

Kasumi Nanakusa looked at Masahiro Nanakusa and Mitsunori Kushima, who were still wearing the same clothes as when they arrived, and asked them curiously.

"Izumi and Kasumi, you two go out and play first!"

"Guangxuan and I will go to the supermarket first to buy some ingredients for our meals in the next two days."

Mayumi Nanakusa chuckled and dismissed the two sisters.

"Wait, I want to come too..."

"Okay, Kasumi, let's go swimming together!"

Before Kasumi Nanakusa could finish speaking, Izumi Nanakusa forcefully pulled her away.

"Kasumi is such a thoughtful child!"

Kyudo Mitsuhiro involuntarily spoke his true feelings.

Although Kasumi Nanakusa always wanted to sabotage the two of them, the little angel Izumi Nanakusa was always doing her best to create opportunities for them.

Although it's just a small island, it has everything you could need, with private areas allocated along the beaches around the island.

Supermarkets, hospitals, and other essential facilities for residents' daily lives are all located in the central area of ​​the island.

"I didn't expect the ingredients here to be so complete!"

Kushima Mitsunori glanced down at the trolley, which was filled to the brim with ingredients. He wasn't referring to any kind of ingredients that could be found anywhere on the street.

He was referring to ingredients that, even locally, could only be purchased in relatively high-end supermarkets.

"After all, it has to cater to the tastes of the rich! Of course, very few ordinary people can afford to come here for vacation."

As she spoke, Mayumi Nanagusa threw two expensive steaks into her shopping basket.

"But aren't you taking a bit too much? We don't have that many people!"

Seeing that Mayumi Nanakusa was about to throw more lamb into the shopping cart, Mitsunobu Kushima quickly spoke up to stop her.

They don't live on this island permanently; they're only here for two or three days. The food they have in the car is more than enough.

"Really!"

Mayumi Nanagusa looked at the piled-up car and regretfully put the lamb chop she was holding back.

"Hmm! Besides, aren't we having barbecue tonight?"

"Let's go check out the seafood section! Eating only meat is getting a bit too monotonous!"

But when we got to the seafood section, the situation didn't change at all.

"This lobster looks good!"

"The oysters are very fresh!"

"This fish is pretty good too!"

One by one, fresh seafood was packed into bags by Mayumi Nanagusa and thrown into her shopping cart. When it came time to pay, even Mitsunori Kushima was shocked by the amount in front of him.

It's not that he can't afford it; in fact, FIRE is like a money-printing machine with a constant stream of orders coming in every day. Now, the amount in his bank account is already enough for him to squander money at will, even without relying on his family.

He usually eats high-end ingredients, but he has never tried buying so much at once, nor has he ever spent so much money just on groceries.

"Let me show you my cooking skills that I've been practicing lately tonight."

As she spoke, she clenched her fist and slightly curled her arm, making a gesture as if she was about to do something big.

Ever since Mayumi Nanakusa ate the bento made by Mitsunori Kushima at the student council, she has been trying to cook for him.

The last time she brought a lunchbox for Kushima Mitsunori, she had only just learned to cook and her skills were not yet very proficient.

This time, she will use her advanced culinary skills to conquer the taste buds of Mitsunobu Kushima.

Even if you say that, I think grilled meat will taste good as long as it's cooked through, and it doesn't require any special cooking skills!

Although he really wanted to express his true feelings, he still gave Nanagusa Mayumi some encouragement against his will.

Since they had so much good food and the two of them had walked there, the supermarket offered to deliver it to their door.

Back at the villa, Kushima Mitsunori still didn't relax, while Nanagusa Mayumi went back to her room to change into her swimsuit.

He hurriedly changed into his swimming trunks and, based on what Mayumi Nanagus had told him beforehand, found two large parasols and four beach chairs in the warehouse and placed them on the beach.

Nanakusa Izumi and Nanakusa Kasumi must have gone swimming in deeper waters, because he didn't see them at all while he was busy on the beach.

But since he's a magician, there's probably nothing to worry about!

Wearing sunglasses, Mitsuhiro Kushima lay on a beach chair, lost in thought.

"Guangxuan!"

From the other side of the villa, Mayumi Nanagusa, having changed into her swimsuit, waved and called out to Mitsunori Kushima as she ran over.

A series of small footprints were left on the white sand.

Kushima Mitsunori also stood up from the beach chair and caught Nanagus Mayumi, who ran straight into his arms.

Soft jade enters my arms.
