After meeting Alice, our group went to the Imperial Guard/Guards headquarters to get Katherine, Daisy, and the others.
The entrance to the Institute had been blocked by the Imperial guards, so Evelyn, Katherine, and Rose could not return to their bedrooms tonight. At the same time, Dina had no interest in returning to the palace now.
So, after a brief discussion, and on the advice of Daisy and Dina, the group decided to spend the night in my new mansion.
I'm a little reluctant. After all, with so many women watching me, it would be hard to enjoy my porcupine party night. But in the end, I decided to accept.
I just need to change my plans for tonight.
A few hours later, and when Dina, Evelyn, and the others were assigned to their rooms, I told the girls that I was going to spend the night outside because I had to deal with something.
Although some of them were slightly dissatisfied, they showed understanding and agreed.
Like that, I left the mansion as soon as night fell. Next, I flicked my finger, chanted the usual incognito spell and changed my appearance to one of my alter identities.
Clark has red hair and red eyes.
When everything was ready, I moved across space, appearing at the door of a house.
It was Ms.'s house. Lluvia, where 'Clark' rents rooms.
I haven't been here in a long time, so it's good to check the situation here.
*Tok Tok!*
After I knocked on the door twice, I heard someone rushing towards the door excitedly.
"Son! You're finally here! ” Miss Lluvia opened the door and lunged towards me excitedly, but instantly, she realized something was wrong.
“Goodnight, Ma'am..” my bro with a seductive smile.
Lluvia blushed in embarrassment and pushed me away. “T-Young Master Clark.. M-Sorry about this..”.
“I told you not to call me young master again, right? Can I come in?"
"Y-Yes, of course."
Still blushing, Lluvia led me in. I'm not sure if she blushed because she confused me for her son, or because she remembered our naughty game when she hugged me.
During the trip, she explained to me that her son, Ramon, was coming home tonight, so she prepared a special dinner to receive him. Therefore, he thought it was his son when I knocked on the door.
I did not mind her and instead teased her, telling her that she could hug me again if she wanted to, but Lluvia scolded me jokingly saying that her husband was near me and that it was dangerous.
Shortly after, we arrived at the living room. And as soon as I stepped in the living room, the atmosphere there froze.
Clarice, Lluvia's daughter-in-law, smiled briefly before recalling that her sister-in-law and father-in-law could suspect something, so she immediately returned to her usual cold expression.
Nana, Lluvia's daughter, looked at me with a look of disdain and anger after remembering what I did with her mother and sister-in-law.
And Peter, Lluvia's husband, looked at me unhappily.
"… What is he doing here?" Peter asked with a frown.
Lluvia furrowed her brows. “Young Master Clark rented a room here, remember? So this is the place where he lives. Besides, you should be more polite to her. Who do you think lent us money to pay for your addiction!?”
"You ..." Peter's face darkened as if he wanted to explode in anger. However, in the end, he snorted and threw his face away, deciding it was better to ignore my presence.
"Thank you" I said and sat down at the table. I could see many delicious-looking dishes on the table. Clearly Lluvia had worked hard to prepare them to welcome her son.
“Young Master Clark, it's been a while since you were here last time. Did something happen?” Clarice sat in front of me and asked curiously.
I smiled amusedly. I was tempted to ask if she missed me, but seeing the expression of anger coming from Nana, and Peter's dissatisfied expression, I decided to answer normally.
“... I've been very busy lately because of work. Actually, I need to give you some news this time.”
"News?" Lluvia, who had returned from the kitchen, asked in surprise. "Did something happen?"
"Everything's fine. It's just that I'll be busier after today, so I guess I can't come here as often as before.”
Lluvia and Clarice were shocked. Especially Clarice. He hurriedly put on a worried expression and asked worriedly.
"Then, did you stop living here?"
“More or less, but I will still come if I can,” I said.
“Is it so...” Clarice was a little disappointed.
"Don't worry.I'll still come once or twice every week.” I smiled looking at her sluggish expression. “Again, you still owe me money, so you can't get rid of me even if you want.” I said jokingly.
Clarice and Lluvia blushed in. In their minds, they remembered the way he used to pay his 'flower' debt.
At the same time, Nana became even more furious. The young girl seemed to want to eat me alive.
Fortunately, he managed to contain his anger. Perhaps because he wanted to maintain a peaceful family facade.
Maybe for him, I'm the one who destroyed this family.
But although I do not deny my responsibility, the main cause of this is Peter and his son.
It is their gambling addiction that actually causes all of this.
We kept talking about different topics for a while, waiting for the arrival of Lluvia's son. However, soon, an hour passed and he had yet to arrive.
Lluvia started frowning. “Any once, Ramon should have come”
"Don't worry, maybe he's delayed by something."
"… You're right." Lluvia forced a smile to hide her worries and continued chatting with us.
But another hour passed.
And one more.
Every hour that passed, Lluvia, Peter, Nana, and Claire seemed to be getting more and more worried. Ramon was nearly four hours late.
Peter could not wait. He stood up and put on his coat, getting ready to go out and see if he could find out anything about his son.
But at that moment, someone knocked on the door.
“... Mom... I'm dwi mwana..”.
And the sound of a drunken man came from the other side of the door.
