"Haha..." Makimura chuckled, "These are indeed things that the Lord would most likely do... So does Tachibana Aoto know that the Young Master likes him?"
"From my observation, Mr. Tachibana seems to be unaware of the Young Master's feelings for him."
"So in other words, the Young Master has a crush on him... To be pined for by the princess of our Gourd House... If this gets out, I don't know how many people would envy him to death."
"Kurō, do you personally think that Tachibana Aoto is someone worth the Young Master's affection?"
Kiryu fell silent, a thoughtful expression appearing on his brow.
After a moment, he nodded slightly.
"... As I just said: Mr. Tachibana is a talented young man worth looking forward to in the future."
"From his behaviors so far, I believe Mr. Tachibana is not unworthy of receiving the Young Master's admiration."
"So I am adopting a 'let nature take its course' attitude for now."
