"It seems that Rion and Kotomi agree to my suggestion," Shouzou said happily. "Harano-kun, are you willing to accept as well?"
"No … I …"
"I know that you don't like them right now, but that won't stop you from dating them. After gradually accumulating feelings for each other, you'll become true lovers and even lifelong companions. "The old man's eyes burned with passion.
"This … although it's not impossible, I still feel that … you should only date them after you like them." Seiji smiled wryly.
"Don't be so conservative, Harano-kun. It's the twenty-first century now, and the youngsters of the new generation should be more open."
Seiji was rendered speechless.
It didn't seem right for an old man like him to say something like that!
"Rion and Kotomi are my proud granddaughters, and you'll definitely be satisfied with having two beautiful twin girls as your girlfriend! And it's something that gives you a lot of face. "
The more he said, the more he felt that something was wrong!
So, it wasn't that the old man didn't overlook the issue of having two girls as one, but rather that it was the twin sisters' unique advantage!?
"This … rather than saying it gives me face, I think it'll attract criticism …"
"Criticism comes from jealousy, so you can treat it as honor."
It wasn't all because of jealousy! Wasn't he being a little too open-minded!?
"Treating criticism as honor, this …"
"If you don't want to do that, just ignore it. Harano-kun, you're not the type of person who cares about how others view you, are you? "
"Er …"
When faced with Shouzou's earnest gaze, Seiji thought about it and looked directly at her face.
"That's a good suggestion, Amami-san, but it's rather sudden, and I find it difficult to accept." He tried his best to be as polite and honest as possible.
"I think that my two Senpais are incredibly beautiful and outstanding girls, and I'm definitely the one who's taking advantage of them dating a boy like me. To be honest, I was really tempted just now! But … I can't bring myself to become a boyfriend and girlfriend just like that.
I'm delighted that you think so highly of me, and delighted that my two Senpais accepted me, but we don't really understand each other yet, and I feel that … my level isn't high enough.
At any rate, thank you for your suggestion; it's a great compliment to me! I'm truly delighted, but please allow me to decline. "
Everyone fell silent.
A light flashed in Shouzou's eyes.
Something flashed in Rion and Kotomi's eyes.
Seiji's expression was solemn and his eyes were firm.
"What a pity …" After a while, the old man broke the silence.
"I wholeheartedly thought that this was a good idea, but it was rejected. What a pity."
"However, it's not an accident." He smiled. "This is indeed an abrupt suggestion. It wouldn't be strange if it was rejected by either party."
"I'm sorry …" Seiji lowered his head slightly.
"Why should I apologize? Harano-kun, it's enough that you answered seriously. "Shouzou smiled.
"Although it is regrettable that my proposal was not accepted, this old man is still very happy, because this old man has seen you more clearly as a person, and I am sure that I have not misjudged you."
"You are an excellent young man, Harano Seigo … No, young master Haruta Seiji."
Seiji raised his head.
Rion and Kotomi were astonished.
"No matter how you were in the past, the current you seems to me to be an excellent person both on the outside and on the inside. You should be even more proud of your current self."
Shouzou lowered his head slightly.
"It's an honor to meet you, young master Seiji."
Seiji felt something. That was … a sense of approval.
At this moment, the old man sitting across from him finally truly acknowledged him as Haruta Seiji, Haruta Seiji's younger brother.
"Please don't say that. I've already said that I'm no young master, not in the past, and not now."
"But I'll definitely be one in the future." Shouzou raised his head. "And this old man feels that that day isn't too far away."
Seiji fell silent.
Rion and Kotomi's eyes lit up; they were both curious and excited.
"Grandfather … just what is this?"
"Rion, Kotomi, the two of you should work even harder in the future and improve your female charms. Only then will you be a good match for young master Seiji," Shouzou told them.
"Harano Seigo is young master Seiji's alias. His real family name is Haruta, and he's the young master of the Haruta family. And the Haruta family … is a powerful and influential family. "
A powerful family!
The eyes of the twin sisters, who had long since guessed it, lit up at this moment.
Everything made sense now!
He was friends with the Grand Mistress student council president Wanhua Summer Night, who had a powerful background. He had sharp eyes and a dignified air about him. He was far stronger than normal people, and he had a mysterious and powerful helper … Everything made sense now, because he really was the young master of a powerful family!
His Highness.
Not only did he look like one, but he really was one.
Rion and Kotomi looked at Harano Seigo … no, Haruta Seiji with burning eyes.
Their choice was indeed correct, more correct than they had expected.
Unfortunately, he didn't accept it.
But it didn't matter. The direction was confirmed, and the target was locked on.
The attack had only just begun!
Seiji could only smile wryly in his heart as he felt the twins' burning gazes.
"Young master Seiji, even if you don't want to go out with my useless granddaughters, it's fine to at least make friends with them, right?" Shouzou looked at him again and spoke sincerely.
"… Of course," Seiji agreed.
He had already refused to go out with them, so if he also refused their request to be friends, it would seem … too slow.
This couldn't be the true goal of this Master Amami, right?
No matter how he looked at it, his suggestion of going out with the twins was far too sudden. Even Sir Amami himself admitted that it was highly likely that he would be rejected.
But Sir Amami still said it seriously. Why?
Apart from the fact that he really wanted to make this happen, more importantly, it was to cover for his true goal!
To become friends.
If he made such a suggestion or request from the very beginning, there was a possibility that he would be rejected.
But if he first suggested going out with them and then requested to be friends, the chances of him being rejected would be infinitesimally small, and the effect would be even better!
"Rion, Kotomi, from now on, you're Young master Seiji's friends. Get along well with him and take advantage of this opportunity," Shouzou said kindly.
"Understood, Grandpa," Rion and Kotomi replied happily.
'… I was tricked after all, wasn't I?'
Seiji was speechless as he thought to himself.
"Young master Seiji, please take good care of us in the future."
The twin beauties spoke in unison with a sincere tone and beautiful smiles.
"Please don't call me that, just call me like before … Amami-senpai, please take good care of me."
Seiji responded.
'Forget it, no matter what, it's a good thing that they became friends.'
At the time, he had said that no matter when they came, he would be happy to accept their challenge and accompany them to the end.
He never expected that his words would come true in such a manner.
From now on, was he really going to "accompany them to the end?"
