Natural Swordmaster 103

Title: Mortgage! Finally Able to Pay It Off Early?!

“Gabriel-san, are you also a half-breed? Did you live abroad before?”

‘Gabriel White Tenma... I’ve never heard this name before.’

Eriri was a bit curious. Looking at the beautiful girl who somewhat resembled her but had a completely different aura in front of her, she doubted whether she was truly a young lady from a prominent family.

‘This Gabriel-san’s aura is even better than young lady Suotome Ai’s, truly enviable.’

After all, she was an angel. Gabriel at this moment completely lived up to her status as a model student of the heavenly school. Her words and actions were impeccable.

“Indeed a half-breed, I lived abroad before, in a small, remote town in Europe.”

“Coming to Shuchi’in Academy this time, I hope to study well and have wonderful memories.”

“In that case, how about we become friends on Line?”

Eriri realized that Gabriel didn’t seem interested in Shinnosuke; her attention was entirely on the food.

In that case, they both had a lot in common and should be able to become friends.

Eriri wanted to have more friends. Utaha, the love advisor, was clearly unreliable; even in novels, she wouldn’t let her win even once. This Gabriel was Shinnosuke’s neighbor and could definitely be a better helper.

Gabriel took out her phone, opened Line, but was a bit awkward, seeming not very used to using a phone.

“Eat first, it’ll get cold soon.”

Shinnosuke was still very wary of Gabriel. This was the first truly powerful enemy he had encountered. He felt it was highly likely she wasn’t his opponent.

Fortunately, Gabriel looked very gentle, not like someone who would suddenly attack.

Megumi helped Gabriel take a bowl of rice. After receiving the bowl and chopsticks, Gabriel was a bit embarrassed, but the food in front of her was truly very tempting.

Gabriel imitated Eriri, mixing the rice with the potatoes. Just tasting a little, she was immediately captivated by the flavor of the food.

‘Human food tastes so good, much better than the cold holy water in heaven. By the way, if I’m an angel, isn’t it okay if I don’t eat?’

With Gabriel joining them, everyone’s topic of conversation gradually shifted to school matters, telling Gabriel various things about the school and some things to pay attention to.

The food was soon finished. Gabriel enthusiastically helped Megumi clear the tableware. It seemed she was also a versatile beautiful girl in household matters.

Eriri looked at her phone; her family’s driver had arrived again.

Couldn’t he have come a little later, so she could spend more time with Shinnosuke?

Her mother clearly said every day that she would support her, but why did her driver always come so early? Why couldn’t she just be forgotten and allowed to stay overnight at Shinnosuke’s house?

If Sayuri really did that, Suotome Ai would definitely arrive soon.

“Shinnosuke, my driver has arrived.”

“Oh, Katou-san, there probably aren’t any more trains now. We happen to be going in the same direction, how about I give you a ride home?”

“Eh? That would trouble Sawamura-san then.”

It seemed it wasn’t just Eriri who wanted to delay time and stay at Shinnosuke’s house.

“See you on Monday.”

After the two beautiful girls left, Yukino looked at the time; it was indeed late. She should go home quickly. She also had to study for the upcoming monthly exams.

After seeing them both out, Shinnosuke finally felt relieved.

It was truly a busy weekend. But Megumi’s cooking was slightly better than his mother’s.

◆━⊰✧⊱━◆

Misae, far away in Kasukabe, suddenly sneezed.

“Shin-chan must be gossiping about me behind my back!”

“Wife, didn’t you just visit Shinnosuke last weekend? Why do you miss him already?”

Hiroshi, who was enjoying the remaining weekend leisure time, shook his head.

He wasn’t worried about Shinnosuke at all. He was just living alone outside, and still in Japan, not going abroad. For a grown-up boy, there was nothing to worry about.

“I’m worried about him. There are so many beautiful girls around him, I don’t want to become a grandmother so soon!”

No need to think further, if Shinnosuke really got a beautiful girl pregnant out of wedlock, that child would definitely still be her responsibility.

Misae, who had finally managed to raise her two children and wanted to rest well, didn’t want to be busy again. It would be even more terrifying if it was a naughty child like Shinnosuke.

“Relax, Shinnosuke has become a responsible man.”

Hiroshi still had great faith in his son. Little Shinnosuke was indeed a bit unreliable, but as time went by, Shinnosuke had become as he said, a dependable man.

Although his character was still somewhat self-willed and his work style beyond logic, the things Misae worried about were most likely not going to happen.

“The one I’m worried about isn’t Shin-chan, but those girls! They all seem to like Shin-chan very much.”

Miho remembered Eriri, whom she met that day, saying that she was Shinnosuke’s little dog; it was terrifying just thinking about it.

“Shinnosuke is actually so attractive, huh? No wonder he’s my son!”

“Relax, Father, Mother, Ai-neechan has returned to Japan and is in the same school as Onii-chan. You don’t need to worry about these things.”

“Ai is back?”

Misae and Hiroshi were both surprised for a moment. The Suotome family’s development had been getting better in recent years, its influence continuing to expand worldwide.

Plus, Ai had always studied abroad since kindergarten; the couple thought Shinnosuke and Ai were no longer possible.

Although Ai always asked people to send gifts home every New Year and holidays, in Hiroshi’s and Misae’s eyes, the difference between Shinnosuke and Ai was still too great.

“That’s right, Ai-neechan returned to Japan for Onii-chan, she will definitely become my sister-in-law!”

Himawari had great faith in Ai. In her heart, Ai was the only sister-in-law candidate. The previous two girls were completely incomparable to Ai.

“It turns out...”

“For Shinnosuke’s sake...”

The couple exchanged glances.

“Mortgage!”

“Finally able to pay it off early?!”

The two were overjoyed, unconsciously clapping their hands in celebration.

What Hiroshi and Misae didn’t know was that Shinnosuke could actually pay off their house mortgage early now, but Shinnosuke felt it wasn’t necessary.

Looking at her unreliable parents, Himawari was somewhat helpless.

It turned out they were only thinking about the mortgage? Some of the jewelry Ai-neechan gave her seemed like it could pay off the house mortgage.
