25. Dinner at the Tenjoins.

Kouske's POV
After about just 10 minutes we arrived in front of a luxurious mansion. It was a pure white mansion with seemingly two floors.

After getting out of the car Saki urged us to follow her.

"Welcome to my house. How is it?"

"Beautiful, right? As it is mine, after all. Hohoho!"

She broke into her stereotypical laughter without even listening to any responses.

Upon entering the large door we come across a large beautiful garden. Many different types of flowers were there, especially roses. There were red, white, and blue roses in the garden. Few gardeners were tending to them.

Lavinia seemed to like the roses very much. I should also plant some in front of my garden. Something to remember.

[I will make sure to remember that!]

'Haha. Thanks, Clarice.'

After crossing the garden we arrived in front of the main house. There were actually some smaller houses in the distance. Saki said it was for the servants.

A butler opened the door for us. Upon entering we found ourselves in a wide hallway. There was a golden chandelier on the ceiling. Different arts were displayed on the wall. The wall was painted white.

Two stairs were crisscrossing each other leading a path upstairs. I could see multiple servants in maid costumes going about their work.

Lavinia was awestruck seeing all this. She was whispering in my ears.

"Ko-kun! They are very rich! Look at all that expensive stuff!"

"Yeah, they have actual maids wearing maid costumes," I said absent-mindedly.

Lavinia looked at me for a while. Then she smirked.

"Do you want me to dress us in a maid costume~?"

I just gave her a look.

Then a woman who looked awfully similar to Saki but just older with black hair came to greet us. She had a kind smile on her face.

"Hello. Are you Kouske?"

"Ye-"

She suddenly jumped to hug me. Her boobs were breathtaking, literally. I couldn't breathe. After struggling for a while she let go of me.

I just huffed to take in fresh air. Even though I could probably last longer than normal humans without breathing, I have to appear to be normal.

"Sorry about that. It's just I saw you after so long that I just had to hug you," she said cutely.

"It's okay miss.."

"Fufu. I'm Sali Tenjoin, Saki's mother. You can just call me aunty. "

"Okay. I'm Kouske Miyamura."

"Hello. I'm Lavinia Reni."

"Oh! Such a cute girl. I heard about you from Ryu-chan." she says as she hugs Lavinia.

Lavinia also reciprocates kindly.

'Ryu-chan? And that guy?!'

"Come. Dinner's ready. We can talk after having a hearty meal."

Then, we were led to a big dining room. The table and chairs were decorated with many designs and ornaments. The plate and other utensils were colored gold. They were glittering in the lights.

I decided to ignore all this. It's better to not think about this. Otherwise, my state will be similar to Lavinia's who has her mouth wide open with her body being stiff.

We were led to our seats by some servants. Then, Ryuga came in with his butler.

"It's nice seeing you again, Kouske-kun. How do you like our house?"

"Hello. I just don't know how I should describe it." I said with a wry smile.

"Why? Is it lacking something?" Ryuga asked.

Seeing this Sali just sighed.

"Honey..Let's talk about this later. We should have dinner first."

"Hm."

Then, the butler asked some servants to bring in food. Different foods were brought in, mainly Italian and Japanese, ranging from normal to expensive ones.

"Kouske-chan, we didn't know what you would like. So we prepared a few different dishes." Sali-san said.

"No. I'm actually flattered by all this."

Lavinia also nodded at that.

"Rin-chan, you also sit down. Let's eat together." Sali said.

It looked like she wanted to refuse but Saki just pushed her onto the chair beside her.

After that, we hardly spoke anything. We were eating in silence as the maid was serving us.

Lavinia was quite happy being able to eat Italian again. Saki kept boasting about her family, saying this was made by one of the best chefs in Japan. Truthfully, the taste was great.

After dinner, we chatted for a while. I found out that 'my' mother, Iselin, and Sali-san were great friends. They were already friends back in college. She was saying that they met 'my' father and Ryuga while going on a blind date.

"Saki-chan, why don't you take them to show our house properly?"

"Okay, okaa-sama."

Then, Saki led us to different parts of their new house. Everything looked good. After a while, she led us to a big room all colored in pink.

"It looks so cute!" Lavinia exclaimed.

"Hohoho! This is my room. Of course, it would look great. But thanks for the compliment Lavinia-san." Saki smiled as she said that.

The room had many girly things like plushies, dolls, and flower patterns on different things.

Saki was showing Lavinia her different collections, like her dresses or ornaments. 'Why would they give so much jewelry to a kid?' thinking so I just sighed. Rich people and their antics.

Then, I glanced back at the figure that had been following us but kept quiet for a long time.

"Kujo-san, right?"

"Hmnn..."

"What was the thing about you being her guard?" I asked curiously even though I knew.

"My family has been in service of the Tenjoin for a long time. Even my father is a butler here. So I take my duty seriously, as I would also be in service of the Tenjoin in the future." she said with a straight face.

"Oh. Kai-san, right? You two have a lot of similarities."

"Hm."

"But Saki seems to consider you as a friend."

"Yes. She's a very kind person," she replied with a smile on her face.

Then, Saki and Lavinia came closer to us. Saki seems to want to dress up Lavinia in different clothes. So I waited outside. But I at least had the fortune of seeing her in different cute clothes

After what felt like hours it was time for us to go back. Sali-san and Ryuga-san came to see us off. They said that Saki and Rin will be starting school tomorrow in the same school as us, asking us to take care of them. We replied in the affirmative.

They wanted to drop us back home in their car but I refused saying it isn't far from here and we would like to enjoy the night breeze.
Saki and Rin also said their goodbyes. Kai-san stood there just slightly nodding at us.

Now, we were on our way back home. I was enjoying the moonlit night with Lavinia hand in hand.

"They are a fun bunch, huh? Ko-kun?" Lavinia asked.

"Hm. You had a lot of fun, right?"

"Hmnn. Saki-chan and Rin-chan are just lovable. Aunty was also nice." she replied with a smile.

"That's good. We will also see them in school. Let's get along well with them."

"Hmm..."
