Kujo Miki picked up the dinner plate and motioned for her to put it on it.

"Mother Kujo, Aunt Kiyono, Miki and Kiyono-san are indeed excellent, but I am not conceited. They are no match for me in music, sports, or grades."

"What did you say?" Queen Miji Kujo looked over, "Say it again?"

"Watch your words, Toru Watanabe-san." Lord Kiyonogami's stern gaze came to him.

"Music?" Kujo's mother said as if remembering, "By the way, Watanabe-kun is very good at the oboe. Why don't you play it for us as a Christmas activity?"

"I heard about it too." Qingye's mother looked at Toru Watanabe expectantly.

'Mother Kujo, mother Kiyono, you are all my mothers!'

Ignoring the sharp eyes of the two beautiful girls, Toru Watanabe said to the two ladies:

"Of course, I'd be happy to do so!"

Qingye's mother called a servant and asked her to go to the musical instrument room to get the oboe.

When the servant was about to leave, she called out to her again: "By the way, get two more trumpets."

"yes."

"Aunt Qingye, do you want to blow too?"

"Of course you young people played it to us."

"Miki is also learning trumpet?" Toru Watanabe asked Miki Kujo curiously.

"I also learned percussion instruments," Kujo Miki said with a smile, "Do you want to try it?"

"...Definitely, if you have time."

The servant brought the musical instrument.

Two granddaughters of Santa Claus and a cute stag played "Jingle Bells" and "Christmas Girl".

The trumpet was originally a solo instrument with a loud and clear sound, but Rin Kiyono and Miki Kujo did not give in to each other.

Coupled with Toru Watanabe, who was shaking his head and playing the oboe as a suona, the sound was a mess.

But it does have a Christmas party atmosphere.

It was very lively, and when the wind reached its happy point, Kujo's mother sang in Italian, with a gorgeous, clear and high treble;

Toru Watanabe changed his rhythm to match her.

After Kujo's mother finished singing, Kiyono's mother sang jazz again in alto.

After that, Miki Kujo was forced by her mother to sing "Uniform" by Seiko Matsuda;

Rin Kiyono sings "Bloom like a rose, scatter like cherry petals";

It was Toru Watanabe's turn. As soon as he opened his mouth, the four people asked him to continue playing the oboe.

The atmosphere was lively, with bursts of joyful laughter resounding throughout the vast living room and whirling among the branches of the ten-meter-high Christmas tree.

Kujo mother and daughter sing a song together, with Rin Kiyono playing the trumpet as accompaniment.

"The roast suckling pig is gone." Qingye's mother suddenly said.

There is not a whole suckling pig on the table, but slices of suckling pig and a few of the most delicious parts.

"Watanabe-kun," Qingye's mother stood up, "Excuse me."

"Okay." Although he was wondering why the servant didn't serve it, Toru Watanabe still stood up.

The two of them left the living room and walked into the kitchen one after the other.

Instead of letting the chef slice it, Qingye's mother put on gloves and did it herself.

Toru Watanabe is serving a plate.

The knife cuts through the roasted golden pig skin, making a crispy sound, and the surface of the knife is gradually stained with a layer of shiny grease.

Just hearing the sound made Toru Watanabe want to eat it.

Qingye's mother said while cutting and arranging the plates:

"Watanabe-kun, how is your relationship with Rin?"

"We are friends." Toru Watanabe looked at the roasted suckling pig and wondered what was the best part about it.

"As a friend, you should know a lot about Rin."

"Yeah." Toru Watanabe put away his appetite and waited quietly for her next words.

"Watanabe-kun, after that incident, you are Rin's only friend. I hope you can help her."

"Help her?"

"She can't lie about this."

"Do you think this is bad?"

"What do you think? Good or bad?"

Watanabe Toru looked at Kiyono's mother. She was obviously a noble lady, but she was very skillful in slicing the suckling pig with a knife.

"I think no matter what," he said, "I told Qingye-san that I will be her friend forever."

"No one can stay with someone who can see through lies." Qingye's mother continued to cut the suckling pig.

When Tetsu Watanabe was about to say something, Qingye's mother interrupted him and spoke before him:

"You are young now. You have only known each other for less than a year. Because of the novelty and because she is beautiful, it doesn't matter to you. After a few years, when you are twenty or thirty, you can guarantee that you can still stay by her side.

?"

"Then I should get used to it." Watanabe Toru said with a smile.

Qingye's mother looked up at him and said jokingly: "What if you ran away halfway?"

"Run away halfway?"

"This is not a mandatory thing. Of course you can leave her at any time."

"I understand what you mean: You can't expect others to accommodate her, you must let her change on her own?"

"If this can be done, of course it is the best, both for Rin herself and the Qingye family."

The suckling pig was held up, with its limbs placed in a position that it could not do on its own and would never want to do.

How pitiful.

"I'm sorry, Aunt Kiyono." Toru Watanabe said, "Just now I said 'no matter what happens,' but that's actually wrong. It should be - as long as it's Kiyono-san's own decision, no matter what happens."

"Watanabe-kun."

Kiyono's mother put a piece of roast suckling pig on the plate in Watanabe Toru's hand and looked into his eyes.

"You like my daughter?"

"...Huh?!" Toru Watanabe was startled, "Why do you ask this? Meiki and I are dating."

"Since you are not going to help Rin change, in order to prevent her from being alone, I have no choice but to make you unable to run away even if you can't stand it anymore. You can only continue to get used to her."

"..."

"Are you scared?" Qingye's mother laughed, like a prankster teasing a child, "I won't force you. How about you like Rin very much now, can you tolerate her shortcomings, and make up your mind? The next thing can be done.

Give me."

With the words "Leave it all to me", Watanabe Toru didn't know whether she was hinting at the Kujo family, or whether she was saying that when he couldn't stand Kiyono Rin one day, he would not be able to escape.

After a while of silence, Toru Watanabe said: "I..."

"Are there any more crabs? You're so stingy, just put in a little bit, and even my beautiful girl won't be able to eat enough." With a little complaint, a little smile, and a voice that rose and fell like the melody of an instrument, Kujo's mother walked in.

"Crabs tend to be cold. It's not good for girls to eat too much." Qingye's mother responded with a smile, then turned her head and said to Toru Watanabe, "You are the same, Watanabe-kun. Regardless of gender, if you eat too much, your stomach will feel uncomfortable.

."

"okay."

"Don't listen to her nonsense." Kujo's mother laughed and scolded as she approached, "Watanabe-kun, isn't it just to be rich so that you can eat what you want when you want?"

"Watanabe-kun is not a rich man, and if you have money, you have to protect your health," said Kiyono's mother.

"My son, who said there is no money?" Kujo's mother picked up a piece of roast suckling pig from Tetsu Watanabe's plate.

The crispy skin is bitten into pieces, making a crisp sound.

"You're not married yet. You're too impatient to be a mother-in-law." Qingye's mother said with a smile.

Kujo's mother did not reply to her, but said to Toru Watanabe while eating roast suckling pig:

"Watanabe-kun, in the future you want to buy a luxury car or a yacht, eat any delicious food, or wear expensive clothes, it doesn't matter."

"......oh."

"But, when it comes to women, you can only have Miki." Kujo's mother said with a smile.

She looked so much like Miki that when Toru Watanabe saw that smiling look, he had a conditioned reflex in his heart.
