Natural Swordmaster 101

Title: Just Be Obedient and Nothing Will Happen

Seeing the three people helping to tidy up the house, Shiro felt very relieved. Unexpectedly, Shinnosuke was still very understanding towards him.

Megumi and Yukino were the type of people who were all-around capable in household matters, while Eriri was the type of person who was hopeless in household matters. Having been accustomed to being a young lady since childhood, she had never done housework herself.

Now that she suddenly had to do housework, she was naturally flustered. Fortunately, the room wasn’t big and not too messy. Eriri tried a little and could still pretend.

“Hmph, young lady, you better not pretend. Aren’t all the household chores taken care of by servants?”

The Yukinoshita family did have a little money, but it was still far from having servants at home.

◆━⊰✧⊱━◆

What Yukino didn’t know was that Haruno had already returned to Chiba and was discussing the future of the Yukinoshita family with Yukino’s mother.

Previously, facing the Shinomiya family, it was already a dead end for the Yukinoshita family. Many shares were diluted, company shareholders betrayed them, and family members were bribed.

Now those shares were somehow in Shinnosuke’s hands, actually helping the Yukinoshita family clean up the traitors. And Haruno became Shinnosuke’s representative, also having a voice in front of her mother.

It was just that because she had been suppressed by her mother for many years, even though most of the shares were now in Shinnosuke’s hands, Haruno, when facing her mother, was just like Yukino facing Haruno, completely suppressed.

“In other words, now all the shares in the family are in our hands?”

Madam Yukinoshita looked somewhat listless. The incidents that had befallen the family these past few days had made her very tired.

“Can that boy named Nohara Shinnosuke be trusted?”

“Yukinon and he have a good relationship.”

Hearing that this was also related to Yukino, Madam Yukinoshita was clearly surprised for a moment.

“So, I want Yukino to be able to freely choose her own path in the future.”

Seeing the share transfer agreement that Madam Haruno presented, with Shinnosuke’s name written on it, Madam Yukinoshita fell silent.

“If there’s time, let me meet that child. As for the matters between Yukino and you, I won’t interfere anymore.”

Getting the answer she wanted, Haruno finally felt relieved, but soon felt worried again.

Shinnosuke wasn’t even very interested in eating gyudon; asking him to meet her mother might be a bit difficult.

Shinnosuke’s attraction to her was entirely physical, repeatedly saying her character was not gentle enough, truly a troublesome boy.

It seemed she had to train Yukino specifically; could improving her diet make her grow more?

◆━⊰✧⊱━◆

While Shinnosuke was watching TV and Megumi was cooking in the kitchen, Yukino and Eriri came to the bedroom, preparing to settle their grudges.

“Eriri, I know everything about you, stop pretending!”

Yukino was guessing about Eriri and Shinnosuke’s affairs, but what actually happened, she didn’t know.

She was still fantasizing about allying with Eriri against Suotome Ai, because she herself didn’t feel the slightest chance of winning.

Even now, Yukino still remembered Ai’s smile when she invited her to attend the fireworks festival.

That tension made Yukino feel inferior; in front of Ai, she didn’t even have the thought to resist.

“Huh? How could you possibly know about my affairs with Shinnosuke!”

Although Eriri was foolish, she wasn’t foolish enough to be lied to. Ai had those memories because she played the mistress in those memories; Yukino was just a passerby, how could she know?

“I thought you were jealous of my relationship with Shinnosuke!”

“Really? You probably don’t know, I have a similar experience to you, except I’m a cat, you’re a little dog, a Yorkshire Terrier, right?”

The painting Eriri drew was right behind the two of them. Yukino saw Shinnosuke in the painting and the Yorkshire Terrier in his arms and could guess what happened.

It was just that Yukino didn’t understand why the Shinnosuke drawn by Eriri looked so mature.

Eriri’s eyes widened; for a moment, her brain was still completely defeated. She actually knew!

What struck Eriri the most was the similar experience Yukino mentioned.

“Impossible! Shinnosuke doesn’t like cats, except for occasionally petting them, he wouldn’t keep a cat as a pet, he only likes small dogs!”

‘That’s right, it’s me, Riri, and Shiro, not your part!’

Yukino’s eyes widened. What Eriri said seemed to be true. She wasn’t Shinnosuke’s pet. Even after becoming a cat, she didn’t have a special name, and this transformation into a cat was also shared with her sister, not special like Eriri at all.

“Evil dog!”

“Thieving cat!”

Eriri didn’t want to give in at all.

‘Can’t defeat Suotome Ai, I can still defeat you! I, Eriri, must win today!’

“Food’s ready.”

Megumi eavesdropped a little, feeling that she didn’t quite fit in with Yukino and Eriri. Were these two young ladies playing around like this behind the scenes?

Why did she feel that Shinnosuke wasn’t that kind of person? Could it be that Shinnosuke preferred to be passive? Did she have to be more proactive?

Because she was suddenly interrupted by Megumi, Yukino and Eriri immediately returned to the appearance that young ladies should have.

“We’re coming soon.”

Yukino also completely gave up on the idea of allying with Eriri. This evil dog was beyond saving. Clearly, they had a common enemy but instead were fighting internally, truly full of loser attributes.

“Just give up, no matter how hard you try, you won’t be that woman’s opponent.”

Looking at Yukino, Eriri still said what was on her mind.

“Just wait for an opportunity. Anyway, I’m already one step ahead. If you also have the same experience as me, I suggest you better not act rashly, because she definitely knows everything.”

After all, Ai had been her mistress for a very long time. Eriri was very clear that if she wasn’t obedient, the consequences could be very terrible.

“Just be obedient and nothing will happen.”

After giving her advice, Eriri no longer cared about Yukino, directly pushed the door open and left Shinnosuke’s bedroom. Although she really wanted to roll around on Shinnosuke’s bed, she still restrained herself.

Just be obedient and nothing will happen? She knows everything? Remembering her family meeting the Shinomiya family, almost going bankrupt.

Yukino only hesitated for a moment, then decided to listen to Eriri’s words. The Saotome family was too terrifying.

Since it had come to this, let’s eat first.
