90-Mattou's daughter Niina ③



 Mattou's protracted meeting seemed to be over, and for dinner, Mattou showed up and introduced Nina to her.
 It was a long table, appropriate for the mansion, but everyone gathered nearby, with Mattwoo and Nina sitting in front of Mizuho, Marion and Yuto, chatting.
 During this time, Mathew kept bragging about his daughter Nina all the time, and suddenly Mathew let out a light scream, so Masato imagined that Nina had probably stepped on his foot.
 Both Mizuho and Marion pretended not to notice and responded with a natural smile. Masato was impressed with their social skills in this area, wondering if they had been through a number of such occasions or if it was education.
 The meal is over, and the butler, Aroucaune, prepares a cup of coffee before each of them. Yuto tried to avoid looking at Aroucaune's face as much as possible because of what happened earlier.
 When the topic of conversation has almost run out a bit, Yuto notices that Nina is glaring lightly at him.

(Huh? What? (Nina, it seems like you're only looking at us... oh!

Speaking of which, Mizuho-san, Marion-san, I had a chance to talk with Nina-san before dinner, and she's interested in Japan and other things.

 Yuto spoke to the two girls sitting beside him, trying to provide the topic as naturally as possible.
 Then, for some reason, the two girls and Mattoo, who were smiling earlier, react with a jerk.
 The three of them turn their gazes toward Yuto with a jittery look.

''You two...? When is that time?
'Yuto-san, when I was in a meeting at work? The two of them were talking to each other.
'Mr. Du Du, I feel like we could have talked to you both.

'What? Huh? (Why the tension?!)

 If you look closely, you can see that Nina is also staring at Yuto like she's looking at someone unfortunate. Then exhaling lightly, Nina made a smile.

At that time, I took a break and showed him a floor plan of the mansion. I don't have many friends of my generation, so I wanted to talk to you personally with Shitenji-san and Shurian-san for a moment... sorry for interrupting you.

 Nina said and bowed her head to Yuto apologetically.

''Ah, no! No way. Thank you very much, too.

'That's the way it is... yeah? Yuto.........?
'So that's how it was.......is that you, Yuto?
'Is it okay if I'm Yuto-kun too? So, why don't we talk to each other later, Eugene?

'Oh! Nina took great care of me, so I told her that this is Nina and her name, and that I'm fine with being Yuto too! Hahaha.

Thank you for your concern, Yuto-san.

 With Nina's rhythmic sycophancy, Yuto managed to force down the mysterious tension between the three of them.

The first thing that comes to mind is the fact that it's really time to talk to you, Shitenji-san, Shurian-san. I'm also interested in Japan.

 When Nina said apologetically, both Mizuho and Marion looked at each other and gladly accepted the offer.

''Nina-san, we're fine with Mizuho and Marion too, right? Hey, Marion.

'Yes. Nina, oh, well, how about afterwards?

'Really? We'd love to have you! Now, how about in my room? Oh, but I know you two have work to do, and I'm glad to have a short time.

''No, it's all right, Nina. General Mattoo's escort will be here until morning, and I'll make sure that you're in good hands.

''Yes, it's okay, because Masato is here. Let's have a girls' night out, as they say in Japan. We have all the time in the world.

'What? Really? Was that decided before...?

A girls' night out? Wow, that sounds like some fun!

 Apparently it's decided, Yuto gave up. Then Mattoo, who is making a smile with just his muscles, speaks to Yuto.

''Well, I'm sorry about that, Yuto-kun. It's just as well, there's something I want to talk to you about at length, Masato, so why don't you talk to me tonight? Is this a boys' night out? I guess that's what it's called?

No, I don't.

'Hahaha, well, nice to meet you. Alokoune.

Yes, sir.

I'll need a bottle of bourbon in my room. Two glasses, please.

Yes, sir, I understand, sir.

'Yes! General Mattoo, I'm underage and I don't drink! Plus, I have an escort job to do!

'Hahaha! I've been in Miremar since I was 15 and I'm already on my own. I joined the army when I was 15. So, shall we go now, Yuto-kun?

'Yes, yes but not the alcohol...'

 As expected of Yuto, he thought it was bad to just drink, and was about to refuse, when Aroucaune straightened his back to the side of Yuto's step and bowed.

''Master, this is Mr. Dou Dou Dou who spent quite a bit of time alone with Nina in the reception room discussing the mansion's guards, and he is a prepared and shrewd person, so I feel comfortable leaving you in charge of the mansion's guards tonight.

(Huh?! (What a subtle way of saying that!)

"...Alokoune.

Yes, sir.

I'm gonna need three bottles of bourbon.

Yes, sir, I understand, sir.

Eeeeeeee!

Then, let's get going, Eugene!

Hi!

 Mattoo has the appearance of a scholar, but he is still a soldier, and his burly hand grabs Yuto by the arm and pulls him into Mattoo's bedroom.
 Then Mizuho and Marion approached Yuto. As expected, Yuto thought they came to admonish him for not drinking, and he looked at Mizuho and Marion with eyes that wanted them to help him.

''General Mattoo,''

Yeah? What is it? Mizuho-kun.

It's a slow day.

'Yes! That's ridiculous!

And Yuto.

What?

I'll talk to you in the morning. As the leader of this request.
'I have, too. It's about the integrity of the institution.

Heh! So when do I get to sleep?

Then let's go! Yujin! It's going to be a long night tonight! Hahaha!

No!

 Nina looks at Yuto being taken away.

''It's kind of........I can see the normal life of Yuto.......is that guy okay?''

 That Yuto was pulled by Mattoo and disappeared from the door.
