Putting down her smartphone, Yuuki Mikan jogged over, her face carrying a hint of excitement.
Since the sisters' rooms were right next to each other, she quickly found the familiar figure.
"Sister, Sister, do you know where the man who came to see Eto with you in Ward 20 last time lives?"
"Eto?"
Hearing the somewhat unfamiliar name, Asuna tilted her head and thought for a moment.
Only then did she recall the girl with long green hair, a dignified appearance, yet an unmistakably "genius" sense of dressing-and the unlucky man who had died tragically at the ghoul's mouth that day.
"As for Hiro-kun, I do know. But Mikan, you shouldn't have met him, right? Why are you suddenly asking about this?"
"I really haven't met that Hiro-kun."
Mikan spoke matter-of-factly.
"My only impression of him, aside from the high probability that he'll become my 'brother-in-law,' is nothing else."
"You want to die?"
Asuna smiled as she scolded her, sitting in front of the computer desk.
"How dare you tease your sister like that?"
"Actually, I just called Eto."
Mikan slowly walked in and sat down on the edge of her sister's neatly made bed.
"She said she wants to go visit Hiro-kun's house, but she doesn't know his address, so she asked me to ask you."
As she spoke, her gaze drifted to the computer screen.
A wedding dress design was displayed there.
She froze for a brief moment, though her voice didn't betray much surprise.
"If possible, I want to go with you and Eto."
"I want to see what the man who might become my future brother-in-law looks like, what kind of personality he has, whether his family is easy to get along with, and whether you'll be treated poorly after you marry him."
She's already picking out a wedding dress.
Sister, are you eager to marry, or are you just planning way too far ahead?
Or are you planning to register as soon as you turn eighteen and become a full-time housewife?
Dad and Mom probably wouldn't agree.
Even though the distance between them was less than three meters, Asuna, lost in thought, didn't notice her sister's glance toward the screen.
She put on a slightly helpless smile.
"Hiro-kun and I haven't even started anything yet, so thinking that far ahead is pointless."
"Besides, there are many outstanding girls around Hiro-kun. I have a lot of competition."
"Even if I'm lucky enough to succeed in the end, both of us plan to go to college. We'll still need a lot of time together."
"There are too many uncertainties when it comes to marriage."
As she spoke, faces flashed through Asuna's mind.
Rias Gremory.
Akeno.
The three Lala sisters.
Ingvild.
And several others.
Her sense of crisis quietly intensified.
So Sister really likes that man named Hiro.
Otherwise, she wouldn't admit it so easily right now.
Yuuki Mikan carefully observed her sister's slightly unusual expression, narrowed her eyes, and muttered inwardly.
"Let's put the marriage thing aside for now."
"Sister, are you going with us or not? If you are, we can just follow you next weekend."
It was already Sunday evening.
It was too late to visit friends, especially male friends or classmates.
"Mm."
Asuna nodded after only brief consideration, her expression carrying a trace of anticipation.
"Although I know Hiro-kun's address, I've never been to his house either."
"I'll go with you this time and take a look."
"And I'll bring small gifts for Hiro-kun's mother, his sister, and his aunt."
-
Naturally, Hiro had no way of knowing what was happening between the Yuuki sisters.
At the moment, he was sitting on the subway with Grayfia, heading toward Saitama Prefecture.
Thanks to Grayfia's excellent physical condition, the fatigue and discomfort she'd felt earlier had completely disappeared within an hour.
She now followed beside Hiro with a calm expression.
The silver-haired beauty, wearing a sky-blue long dress with a pure white ribbon tied at the top of her hair, held onto Hiro's left arm.
At a glance, they looked exactly like a deeply affectionate couple in the middle of a passionate relationship.
Grayfia fiddled with the hem of her skirt beside her leg, clearly a little unaccustomed to it, and frowned slightly.
"Lord Hiro, why did you have Grayfia wear such clothing?"
"If it is merely to introduce me to your mother and family, presenting Grayfia as your exclusive maid would suffice. Why go through the trouble?"
Hiro reached out, smoothed the slight crease between her brows, and smiled patiently.
"This isn't extra effort. It's necessary."
"To you, I am your sole Master."
"To me, although you are the perfect maid, you are not merely a maid."
"You are an existence as important as Mom, Aunt, Suguha, Xenovia, and the others in my life."
"Bringing home a maid has a completely different meaning from bringing home you."
"After we get back, whether you continue working as a maid or keep your current appearance, I won't stop you."
"But at least when we enter the door and meet Mom, Aunt, and Suguha for the first time-your identity is Grayfia."
"Not just a maid."
As he spoke, his hand moved down several centimeters, gently rubbing Grayfia's cheek before lightly pinching it.
He laughed softly.
"Do you understand?"
"Since it is your wish..."
Grayfia nodded, setting aside her maid identity for the moment.
"Grayfia understands."
Hiro nodded in satisfaction.
Then, as if remembering something, he looked at her with curiosity.
"Oh, right."
"You must have used the 'Stand Activation Card' I gave you earlier, correct?"
"What does your Stand look like?"
"Summon it for me to see."
"Mm."
The silver-haired beauty nodded lightly.
And summoned her Stand.
