"I suppose so," Sakurakoji said, relieved to see that she seemed satisfied. "But we still need to go out later."

"More?" Aoyama Nanami's gaze was complicated. "You're really busy."

"That's right." His eyes were tired, but he had to agree.

"Then I'll go take a shower and change my clothes. You can continue cleaning." He waved his hand and walked towards the bathroom.

"Oh, okay." Aoyama Nanami watched him walk away.

……

Around 10 a.m., Sakurakoji Sai arrived at the door of the Ogiso family's house and rang the doorbell.

A moment later, the doorbell was answered, and a gentle and understanding female voice came from inside.

Hi, who is this?

"Hello, I am Sakurakoji Saiki. I am here today to pay my respects at the invitation of Ms. Ogiso."

"Ah! You must be Sakurakoji-kun, right? I'll open the door right away!"

"OK, thanks."

Soon, the iron gate was opened, and the words "Yukina, come out quickly! Sakurakoji-kun is here!" could be faintly heard from the microphone.

"It's time to replace it," Sakurakoji thought to himself as he glanced at the somewhat outdated doorbell.

In this day and age, how can we do without cameras?

Stepping into the small courtyard, after taking a few steps, before even reaching the door, the house door was opened from the inside.

"You must be Setsuna's friend? Welcome." Akina Ogiso stood at the door, greeting us with a smile.

"Up close, this child seems even more beautiful than before..."

As Sakurakoji gradually approached her, his glossy silver hair shimmering in the sunlight, and his exquisite, flawless, snow-white face, she couldn't help but murmur softly.

Upon closer inspection, it looked exactly like an exquisitely crafted doll!

Let alone her, even her daughter would feel ashamed in his presence...

He's like a prince straight out of a fairy tale. How was he raised?

"Excuse me, may I ask who you are... perhaps you are Kogiso's older sister?"

"Well, this child is really good with words!" Akina Ogiso happily rested her cheek on her hand, and the awkwardness she had felt earlier because of his stunning appearance instantly vanished.

"No, I'm her mother."

"Huh? You're kidding me, right?" Sakurakoji Sai looked "shocked".

"Hehehe~ Come in first." Her beautifully curved face was almost flushed, and she quickly covered her lips, inviting him into the house.

Just then, Setsuna Ogiso ran downstairs and stopped in front of the entrance.

"Welcome, Sakurakoji-kun!"

"Excuse me, um, who is this...?" He gestured with his eyes.

"Huh? My goodness, what's wrong?" Ogiso Setsuna looked confused. "Mom, didn't you introduce yourself to Sakurakoji-kun?"

"I introduced him, but he seemed to think I was your older sister, haha!"

“Eh~~” She looked at Sakurakoji Takayuki meaningfully, “Sakurakoji-kun, your taste is terrible.”

"You little rascal!"

"Is it really your aunt?! Um, excuse me, Auntie."

"He actually said, 'Auntie...it's nothing, come in!'"

Akina Ogiso took out some guest slippers and invited him into the house with a smile.

"Thank you."

After thanking them, Sakurakoji carefully changed his shoes, then, holding the gift bag in front of him, followed the two into the living room.

Following the two into the living room, Sakurakoji Sai's gaze was not immediately drawn to the interior furnishings, but rather to the other two who were already there.

"Nice to meet you. I am Sakurakoji Saiki, a friend of Ogiso Setsuna."

"I apologize for the inconvenience caused by not making an appointment in advance. I have prepared a small gift as a token of my appreciation, and I hope you will accept it."

After bowing and speaking to Kogiso Susumu and Kogiso Takahiro, whom he was meeting for the first time, he handed the gift bag to Kogiso Akina, who was standing next to him.

"No, it's rare for Yukina's friend to come over, so there's no need to go to all this trouble to prepare these things... But thank you anyway."

Akina Ogiso accepted the neatly made, smooth, brand-new bag, but out of politeness, she didn't open it immediately. However, Setsuna Ogiso, who was standing next to her, was not so reserved.

"Hey~ Sakurakoji-kun even prepared a gift, let me see."

"You child! Mind your manners!" Akina Ogiso scolded her lightly.

“It’s alright. If you can, please open it now. You might need it right away,” Sakurakoji Sai defended her.

"Exactly! Mom, you're all too reserved!" She rubbed the back of her hand that had been attacked.

Regarding the two men still standing to the side,

"Such elegant and aristocratic manners, even more refined than my sister who puts on airs in public..." Kogiso Takahiro stared at him, unable to look away.

Unlike before when he secretly observed him through the darkness, the sight of his face up close made him even more uneasy than before.

"What?! A boy who looks like this is too cunning! No, even a girl who looks like this would be just as cunning..."

"Takahiro, what are you saying?" Ogiso Setsuna, who had overheard his earlier words, lectured him: "Don't compare me to Sakurakoji-kun—seriously, aren't you a little embarrassed? You wouldn't..."

"Aaaaaah—Sister, don't you want to see what's in there?"

"You're being too obvious... But whatever, I'll let you off the hook today." She turned her attention back to the bag of souvenirs.

"You must be Sakurakoji-kun? Nice to meet you. I am Setsuna's father." Kogiso Jin, with his calm and steady personality, spoke slowly. Although there was some surprise in his eyes, he did not show much hesitation like his wife.

"Hello, Uncle, please give me your guidance." He bowed slightly.

"Yes, thank you for coming today. Please make yourself at home and don't be too formal."

He nodded to himself, feeling quite satisfied with Sakurakoji's current performance.

This child is not only impeccable in appearance, but also in manners. He doesn't seem like a bad child at all, and definitely comes from a good family.

"I will, thank you for your generosity."

"Um, I'm Takahiro Ogiso, nice to meet you!" Takahiro Ogiso scratched the back of his head and introduced himself awkwardly.

"You must be Kogiso's younger brother. She told me that she would like to take care of you in the future."

Not being in front of an elder, Sakurakoji's talent relaxed his facial expressions, giving him a warm smile.

Kogiso Takahiro's face turned even redder, his gaze wandering and he dared not meet his eyes any longer. The once sunny, outgoing, and optimistic boy was now speechless.

Fortunately, his sister came to his rescue at the crucial moment.

"Wow, is this wine? Isn't it quite high-end? Looks like it's for Dad." Setsuna Ogiso took out the first gift and attracted the attention of the three of them with her words.

After glancing at the expensive whiskey in her hand, Sakurakoji explained to them:

"I heard that my uncle usually likes to drink whiskey, so I prepared a bottle. I hope my uncle won't mind."

"No, you're so thoughtful." Xiao Mu Zeng Jin was slightly surprised after looking at the package in his daughter's hand.

As a seasoned drinker with many years of experience, he may not be a heavy drinker, but he enjoys a glass or two every day. His favorite type is whiskey, and he recognizes the packaging—it's a high-end brand from a certain company.

Although he had tried it before, it was the type of drink he wouldn't normally buy.

As a gift for my daughter's friend's first visit, it was certainly not impolite; in fact, it was quite valuable.

If it were his daughter's boyfriend visiting for the first time, buying this would be fine... But thinking of this, his eyes narrowed, fixing on Sakura Koji's talent. This kid, could he be...?

However, he quickly let go. If the other party could really fall in love with his daughter, then they would be the ones to be convinced.

Whether as a husband or son-in-law, he has nothing to complain about.

But fathers are sometimes like that; no matter how perfect the other person is, they never want to let them succeed so easily.

It must have been an accident, he reassured himself.

"Hey, Sakurakoji-kun, what's this? Is it cosmetics?" Ogiso Setsuna took out an unopened white set and turned to ask him.

"Yes, it was given to me by a relative, and I plan to give it to my aunt."

"Huh? For me?" Akina Ogiso snatched the item from her daughter's hand, and after seeing the label, she exclaimed in surprise, "【La Lumiere】?"

"Isn't this an ultra-high-end brand in the cosmetics industry? Just one bottle of hand cream must cost 5 yen, right?"

"Sakurakoji-kun, this is too precious! I can't accept it!"

"Huh? It's that expensive?" Setsuna Ogiso was also taken aback.

Moreover, this set doesn't look like it only contains one bottle of hand cream. According to my mother, the total value easily exceeds...

"No, because that relative works there, so they got the employee discount price, which is very cheap." He smiled and shook his head. "So please feel free to accept it."

"Is that really the case? You didn't force yourself, did you?" Ogiso Setsuna asked with a worried expression.

She just wanted him to come over for a visit, but she never expected him to prepare such an expensive gift.

In her mind, Sakurakoji Takayuki was still a peer who needed to work, so this gift was far too precious.

"Of course, I'm not foolish enough to overspend money just to save face, so don't worry."

“Since you put it that way…” she looked at her mother, “Mom, please accept it. After all, it’s Sakurakoji-kun’s kind gesture.”

"Really?" Akina Ogiso looked at her husband.

After observing Sakurakoji's talent and confirming that he wasn't doing it reluctantly, Ogiso nodded and said, "Since it's Sakurakoji-kun's kind intention, please accept it."

"I understand! Thank you, Sakurakoji-kun!"

She clutched the makeup set tightly to her chest, her face visibly beaming with joy.

As a full-time housewife in a middle-class family, she is able to maintain such a youthful appearance not only because of her natural beauty, but also because she regularly goes to beauty salons with her peers to discuss makeup tips.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have recognized the brand so quickly while Ogiso Setsuna was still confused.

"You're welcome."

Of course, what Sakurakoji didn't mention was that the relative he mentioned who worked at the cosmetics company was actually his great-aunt, nominal older sister, and the president of the company [La Lumiere], Rumion Ozura, who was actually a few months younger than him.

Every month, he receives a large number of specially made cosmetics.

What I gave her today was just some extra stock I took from her room.

"Let me see the next one, this is... a game console?" Setsuna Ogiso took out a box with a game console picture printed on the surface.

"This is for Xiaohong's younger brother. I don't know if you'll like it."

"For me?" Kogiso Takahiro pointed to himself, then, disregarding his earlier complicated emotions, walked to his sister's side.

"This is... X-Heaven's latest console! Is it really for me?!"

Overjoyed at receiving recognition for his talent, he excitedly held up the game box and said to him, "Thank you! Brother Sakurakoji!"

"As long as you like it."

Ogiso Setsuna's expression was subtle as she frowned and covered her forehead at her younger brother's rapid change of expression.

"Is there something else inside?" She weighed the bag in her hand and found another item inside, which she took out.

"Huh? This looks like the same outfit Mom has in her hand."

“This is for you. If I hadn’t brought you a gift, I was afraid you would keep nagging me about it.”

"No way, what kind of person do you think I am?" Ogiso Setsuna stomped her foot, but at the same time she was very happy. "But I'm very happy, thank you! Sakurakoji-kun!"

"I saw how excited my mom was just now, so I wanted to give it a try. I was even planning to sneak into her room to use it later."
