The atmosphere at the banquet was lively, and Leonora Nakiri was quite drunk; by the end, she had completely let herself go.
She held a wine bottle as a microphone while tapping the bottom of a bowl with chopsticks, singing a completely off-key song in incredibly broken Japanese.
Although her voice was beautiful, the song she sang was utterly baffling.
Watching his Mother-in-law completely let loose, Satou felt a wave of helplessness.
Leonora Nakiri's appearance was noble and beautiful, with silver hair and fair skin, a tall figure, and a purple dress, like a queen who had stepped out of a fairy tale kingdom. To be honest, Alice Nakiri was not as beautiful as her mother.
Because she was still young, Alice Nakiri's features were a bit immature, and her figure was not as tall and voluptuous as her mother's. Her temperament also lacked her mother's gentle elegance, but if Alice Nakiri grew her hair long and matured a bit more, she should be able to catch up to her mother.
However, what Satou didn't expect was that this elegant and noble Mother-in-law also had such a funny side.
"Mom, quickly sit down! It's so embarrassing!"
Alice Nakiri pulled her mother, shouting.
She felt that her mother's strange behavior in front of her beloved was truly too embarrassing for her.
Souei Nakiri, meanwhile, drunkenly pulled out photos of his wife and daughter, looking at them and rubbing his cheek against the pictures, smiling with a look of intoxication: "Indeed, my daughter is the cutest, and of course, Reioura is also very cute."
Senzaemon Nakiri held up his wine glass, laughing heartily as he watched his family, his face benevolent.
Satou was a bit speechless, but he felt that such a family was very real and warm.
This aristocratic family, which controlled the culinary giant Far Moon, was actually just like an ordinary family.
After a while, Leonora Nakiri finally stopped, drinking wine and eating sashimi.
"Ah, this rich, fatty texture, like the finest beef fat, yet as light as luxurious silk, gently enveloping every inch of the body, like basking in a warm ocean current, the feeling is truly wonderful."
A blush spread across her face as she spoke a string of incredibly fast and fluent Japanese.
"Huh?"
Satou was startled. Wasn't this Mother-in-law's Japanese very bad? How did it suddenly become so fluent now?
"Um, Aunt, when she tastes delicious food, fluent fragments of words will burst forth from her mouth."
Beside him, Erina Nakiri, blushing, explained softly.
"Alright."
Satou was a bit speechless; was this another funny trait?
Originally, he had been somewhat curious about where Alice Nakiri's sometimes clumsy and funny personality came from, but now he completely understood.
Indeed, like mother, like daughter. In some aspects, the mother and daughter were truly alike; sometimes, they would both reveal this amusing and adorable side.
"Is my family… a bit strange?"
Erina Nakiri's small face was slightly red, and she looked at Satou with some apprehension, speaking softly.
Seeing her Aunt and Uncle behave so improperly in front of the person she liked made her very worried that Satou might be displeased.
"No, not at all. I think it's very interesting."
Satou said with a smile. He truly found his convenient Mother-in-law very adorable.
"Really?"
A slight smile appeared on Erina Nakiri's face, and she relaxed.
She had been very worried that Satou wouldn't like her family, and that would have made her very sad.
After the banquet, Satou and Erina Nakiri said their goodbyes and left.
"Satou, remember to bring Erina-chan to play next time, okay?"
Leonora Nakiri's cheeks were flushed, and she waved with a smile, speaking enthusiastically.
"Okay. I understand."
Satou nodded.
"Also, don't forget the wine we talked about."
Souei Nakiri reminded him, tipsily.
Satou couldn't help but feel a bit speechless, but he still said, "Don't worry."
As soon as they returned to the mansion, Erina Nakiri immediately walked to the shoe cabinet, knelt down, and said, "Satou, let me help you change your shoes."
"Uh, thank you."
Satou scratched his head; he was still a bit unaccustomed to such a virtuous and gentle Erina Nakiri.
"Come, quickly sit down. I'll go make you some sobering tea."
As soon as they entered the living room, Satou was pushed by Erina Nakiri to sit on the sofa, and then she scurried to the kitchen to make sobering tea.
At the dinner table earlier, Satou had been plied with quite a bit of alcohol by his convenient Father.
After Erina Nakiri personally fed him the sobering tea, she eagerly said, "Satou, how about I give you a shoulder massage?"
"Uh, then thank you."
Satou said, enjoying Erina Nakiri's soft, boneless hands massaging his shoulders, while also feeling a bit strange. Why did the Tsundere seem even more docile and virtuous after they returned?
"Erina, how do you seem… to have changed again?"
He couldn't help but ask.
Erina Nakiri, who was massaging his shoulders from behind, immediately blushed slightly and stammered, "Just now, it should count as meeting the parents, right? Our matter… should be settled, right?"
In her opinion, Satou had just met her family, and her family also liked him very much.
"Alright."
Satou rubbed his nose, but thinking about it, it seemed that his and Erina's matter had indeed received the full approval of her parents, right?
Speaking of which, although Erina Nakiri's outward personality was Tsundere, willful, and unreasonable, deep down, she was a very traditional and gentle girl. Her upbringing environment was simple, pure, and innocent; a boy accidentally touching her hair would make her feel like it was scandalous. Once her heart was captured, she would become docile and virtuous.
Such a traditional, conservative, loyal, and innocent girl with a cute personality was indeed very suitable to be a wife.
Thinking this, Satou couldn't help but smile and say, "Erina?"
"Hmm?"
Erina Nakiri, who was massaging his shoulders from behind, looked at him with some surprise.
"Call me husband and let me hear it."
He said.
"Eh?"
Erina Nakiri's face immediately turned crimson, and she stammered, "This… this isn't very good, is it? We're… we're not married yet, are we? It's too embarrassing, it's against custom!"
"It's fine, I want to hear you call it."
Satou said in an irrefutable tone.
