After returning to the mansion, Erina Nakiri still seemed very nervous.
"Grandpa also likes to drink alcohol, why don't we bring some alcohol? Oh, right, we can also bring some of the tuna from last time, but what clothes should I wear?"
She said, somewhat troubled.
Satou's clothes were usually washed by her, so she knew exactly what clothes Satou had, but after thinking for a long time, she still didn't know which one was suitable.
Looking at Erina Nakiri, who looked like a new daughter-in-law meeting her in-laws for the first time, Satou was a bit helpless. He was the one meeting the parents, not her.
"Erina, you don't need to be so nervous. It should just be a simple meal."
Satou couldn't help but say. He always felt that Erina Nakiri had been scared by the people at Polar Star Dormitory, mistaking a normal gathering for a first meeting with the parents.
"No way!"
Erina Nakiri said very seriously, "Although you've already met Grandpa and Aunt, this is your first time meeting Uncle, isn't it? And if you leave a bad impression, then… then…"
As she spoke, her face turned red.
Satou couldn't help but feel speechless, but after thinking about it, gifts indeed still needed to be prepared.
After preparing, the two went together to Senzaemon Nakiri's residence.
Senzaemon Nakiri's residence, unlike Erina Nakiri's European-style mansion, was a typical Japanese residence, with rock gardens and bonsai in the courtyard, looking very elegant and refined.
"Ah. Is Erina here? And that boy from last time, Satou."
It was Leonora Nakiri who opened the door, greeting them in stiff Japanese as soon as she saw them.
After some time, Leonora Nakiri was still as beautiful as before, wearing a fitted light purple long dress, revealing her fair shoulders and a pair of white, lotus-root-like tender arms.
"Hello, Aunt."
Erina Nakiri said somewhat nervously.
"Hello, Aunt."
Satou also greeted her.
"Oh, you're calling me Aunt now, what a cute boy."
Leonora Nakiri stroked her cheek, said happily, and then patted his head.
Satou was a bit speechless, always feeling that this convenient Mother-in-law was very cute.
"Ah! Are Erina and Satou here?"
Alice Nakiri ran out. She was wearing a cool white slip dress, revealing her round arms and a large expanse of fair skin on her back. Her long, slender calves had graceful curves, and she wore sandals, with ten pink toes that were very cute.
She ran happily in front of the two, then looked at them strangely, "Erina, Satou, why are you wearing school uniforms?"
At this moment, Senzaemon Nakiri and Souei Nakiri also walked out.
Senzaemon Nakiri was wearing his usual kimono, while Souei Nakiri was in a casual short-sleeved shirt.
Erina Nakiri's face was a little red; wearing the school uniform was her idea, as she wanted to be more formal, but now that she saw it, she realized she had overthought it. It was just a normal family dinner, and the two of them wearing school uniforms felt incredibly awkward.
Satou also felt a bit helpless.
"I also find it strange. Didn't school already let out for vacation? Why are both children still wearing their school uniforms?"
Reioura Nakiri tilted her head, looking at them with a puzzled expression.
Erina Nakiri's face flushed even more, and she lowered her head, not daring to look at anyone.
"You must be Satou, right? Alice often talks about you."
Souei Nakiri said to Satou with a smile.
It was Satou's first time meeting his prospective father-in-law. His features bore a slight resemblance to Alice Nakiri's, and he was very handsome. His distinctive eyebrows, in particular, added a touch of heroic charm, making him a very appealing middle-aged man.
"Hello, Uncle."
Satou greeted him.
Then, he and Erina Nakiri knelt on the tatami in the entryway.
"Um, Satou prepared a gift."
Erina Nakiri whispered.
Satou was a bit speechless, but he still took out the gifts.
One was fruit wine made from palm fruit, and the other was meat from the belly of a beautiful tuna.
The fattiest part of tuna is the belly, and even the tuna Satou gave to Polar Star Dormitory wasn't from this part.
"It's just a meal together; giving gifts seems a bit too formal, doesn't it?"
Senzaemon Nakiri frowned, but he still accepted it, saying, "Then thank you very much."
"Eh? Erina, why did you make Satou give a gift?"
Alice Nakiri also asked, somewhat puzzled.
Erina Nakiri's cheeks were crimson, and she lowered her head, feeling very embarrassed.
"Oh dear! These two children, could they have thought they were here to visit the parents?"
Reioura Nakiri realized, covering her mouth and laughing. "Erina is still as careless as ever."
"Hahahaha."
Alice Nakiri also burst out laughing, playfully winking at Satou.
Both mother and daughter looked adorable when they laughed.
Looking at the two formally dressed individuals, Senzaemon Nakiri and Souei Nakiri also burst into laughter.
Erina Nakiri's face was so red it looked like blood could drip from it, and she kept her head down, not daring to speak.
Satou also felt quite speechless. As expected, they were just having a simple meal together, but Erina Nakiri had been scared by the people from Polar Star Dormitory and had been nervous the whole time.
"You two are still so young; meeting the parents seems a bit too soon, doesn't it? Does Erina want to get married so young?"
Reioura Nakiri teased.
In her eyes, their relationship was just a student romance; it was too early to talk about marriage.
"Not at all."
Erina Nakiri said softly, her face red.
"You can't say that. For Erina, it might be time to start considering it."
Senzaemon Nakiri said indifferently.
"Eh?"
Erina Nakiri's heart instantly jolted. Had her grandfather really started thinking about having her marry early?
She couldn't help but secretly glance at Satou.
"Ah, Satou, could I ask you to prepare dinner this time? I really love your cooking."
Reioura Nakiri remembered something, her face showing an expectant expression.
"Oh? I'd like to try it too."
Souei Nakiri also said with great interest.
"Satou is really amazing! Even better than Erina!"
Alice Nakiri said proudly.
"Not at all. If that's the case, then I'll do my best."
Satou said, a little embarrassed, as he stood up.
"Better than little Erina?"
Souei Nakiri was immediately surprised, as if he was seeing Satou for the first time, looking him up and down.
"Then I'll leave it to you."
Reioura Nakiri clasped her hands in front of her chest, her face showing a girlish, innocent expression, looking very adorable.
