----------------------------------------------------------

Inside the resplendent mansion, lights twinkled everywhere, and guests exchanged nods and smiles. This was the Nakiri family’s largest mansion in Tokyo. On Christmas Eve, they were hosting a banquet for business associates and friends they had grown close to in recent years. As a leading force in the Japanese culinary world and one of the Four Great Families of Japan, this pre-holiday gathering, serving as an important social event, was naturally handled with extreme care.

Although Senzaemon Nakiri was typically low-key and frugal, he had carefully selected only the closest business partners of the Nakiri family and used a luxurious mansion that he rarely resided in. He aimed to adjust and compress the number of guests for the dinner and party.

However, as a top-tier influential family, even with a reduction in numbers, the internal parking lot of the mansion’s surrounding estate was still filled with countless luxury cars.

And this was the true foundation of an influential family: vast connections and a wide social circle.

However, since it wasn’t a crucial business banquet but rather a casual social gathering, the figures of guests in their forties and fifties were not wandering through the main hall. At this moment, seated at the tables, raising their goblets and chatting, were mostly young people.

"Why isn’t Erina-sama here yet?" Hisako Arato sat in her seat, not particularly interested in chatting with others.

Since the Erina-sama officially got married, their interactions had significantly decreased. Recently, she heard Erina was pregnant and preparing for childbirth. Hisako had visited a few times. Later, she heard a baby girl was born and only met her once before getting caught up in various university club activities and studies, and then communication ceased.

Hisako didn’t want to disturb their personal time, but

this banquet was one they wouldn’t miss. Hisako was rare to have free time, and she really wanted to have a good chat with Erina.

"Hisako, where’s my sister?" Alice slowly approached, step by step, wearing high heels, which made her movements a bit awkward. Alice, currently dressed in a luxurious European-style gown, maintained elegant posture and graceful movements to ensure her ladylike appearance. She spoke softly and conversed appropriately with others. However, as soon as she saw Hisako Arato , she asked bluntly.

"Not here yet," Hisako Arato was actually also waiting for Erina to attend this banquet. It was rare for them to both be free and have time. Hisako was waiting, and Alice was waiting too.

Senzaemon Nakiri, silently in his room, was also constantly checking his phone for messages.

"Where are you?"

"One more intersection."

One more intersection’s time.

My granddaughter is coming, and my granddaughter’s daughter is coming too. Senzaemon Nakiri felt a surge of emotion, almost shedding tears. My precious five-month-old darling. That brat had better have taken good care of Erina, or else he’d beat him black and blue. They had a child already in their first year of university, how efficient of them.

The old man should not have given in so quickly back then. That brat talked him into giving him a chance, and he seized that tiny opening. The speed at which the child was born exceeded Senzaemon Nakiri’s imagination; it was incredibly efficient. He had initially thought he wouldn’t live to see this generation’s child born. Who would have thought he’d be able to hold a baby so soon? If only they had another one.

Senzaemon Nakiri chuckled merrily in his room. I’ll find a chance to make them stay here for a few days, maybe a week.

No!

A week isn’t enough!

At least two weeks.

Two weeks seems a bit short too. How about a month? A month would allow me to see little Rina more.

But a month still feels a little short.

A year?

A year sounds good! She’ll be calling me great-grandpa by then. But would a year greatly hinder Erina’s university studies?

Speaking of which, they should be here by now, right?

Inside the banquet hall.

Kaguya Shinomiya sat alone in a corner. The Nakiri family’s banquet had invited the Shinomiya family. Both being among the Four Great Families, they had to show face. However, the Nakiri family and the Shinomiya family had an ordinary relationship; they weren’t particularly close, but they also didn’t have any hostile history, as the Nakiri family’s main business direction didn’t conflict with theirs, and they even had many collaborative ventures.

It was originally intended for the eldest son of the Shinomiya family to attend, but Kaguya Shinomiya’s brother didn’t come, pushing the responsibility onto her.

As the eldest legitimate daughter, it was considered giving the Nakiri family sufficient face.

She just couldn’t understand why the Nakiri family also had dealings with the Fujiwara family. Watching the pink-haired woman’s magnificent chest sway, Kaguya Shinomiya narrowed her eyes, then glanced at her own chest. They say a woman’s figure settles before she turns twenty. If it’s this size now, that’s all it will ever be. But why does that Chika Fujiwara seem to grow every year? Her current size is simply outrageous.

"Oh, Kaguya, you’re here too?" Chika Fujiwara waved enthusiastically. She ran over, her chest swaying with such intensity that it made Kaguya Shinomiya’s heart ache. That girl must have an easy time raising children.

"Mm," Kaguya Shinomiya said coolly, her self-esteem unintentionally crushed by Chika Fujiwara’s figure, making her disinclined to speak. After a few seconds of silence, Chika Fujiwara proactively broke the awkward quiet.

"Huh?! Isn’t that Renz-kun?" Chika Fujiwara pointed at the two people slowly entering the hall.

"It really is him." Kaguya Shinomiya took a deep breath. An unsolved mystery was finally unveiled right before her eyes. "Back then, Chika, you said it was just a reality show effect," Kaguya Shinomiya said, crossing her arms and resting her chin, striking a pose like a master detective analyzing a case. "I watched the last segment of the show."

Memories flooded her mind. "That proposal confession after the championship, I swear, it was from the bottom of his heart."

"See? My deduction was completely correct! The one who married Renz is indeed Erina!"

Kaguya Shinomiya spoke with dramatic flair, a sense of a grand attorney making a decisive reversal washing over her. However, a gentle breeze passed by as Erina walked past her, holding a child.

"Eh... what... what’s the deal with that child?" Kaguya Shinomiya’s joy of solving a great mystery was suddenly choked off. Her voice trembled slightly, filled with surprise.

"It’s my daughter, Kaguya-chan," Renz said with a smile as he passed by, seeming to have heard Kaguya Shinomiya’s trembling voice, offering a simple explanation and waving.

An arrow pierced through Kaguya Shinomiya’s heart.

’It’s my daughter, Kaguya-chan.’

In her mind, the phrase seemed to echo infinitely,

replaying over and over. Kaguya Shinomiya’s mental defenses suddenly collapsed from a thousand miles away.

The usually elegant Kaguya Shinomiya, for once, uttered a rare expletive in her mind.

I don’t even have a boyfriend!

Kaguya Shinomiya had long had a premonition that this guy was married and wasn’t surprised, but the problem was, he actually had a wife AND a child?!

Just as Kaguya Shinomiya cast her gaze back towards them, she noticed...

That formal wear, the male and female versions were a set!

They were even matching outfits!

Most importantly, when Erina was holding the child, she would occasionally link arms with Renz. Such an entrance was truly capable of bringing a sense of utter defeat! A feeling of complete collapse, as if one’s entire life had been lost!

"Hahahahaha"

Senzaemon Nakiri’s hearty laughter echoed through the hall, an undisguised joy. He walked over, smiling as he playfully interacted with Rina, who was clinging to Erina. Erina also showed a faint smile. Framed by her gown and beauty, Erina, under the spotlight, appeared exceptionally radiant and quickly became the focus of countless gazes in the crowd.

"What a cute child! Renz-kun said it’s a girl," Chika Fujiwara said thoughtfully, turning her head.

She saw Kaguya Shinomiya’s face turn pale, a distinct sour smell emanating from her.

"Kaguya, what’s wrong? Are you not feeling well?"

Chika Fujiwara asked with a bewildered expression. Little did she know that Kaguya Shinomiya, who was already somewhat envious, had her heart further pierced by the naive Chika Fujiwara. Kaguya Shinomiya actually quite wanted a daughter too.

But it seemed the "Life Winner" group already had a daughter.

And an active one, who could babble.

Super cute.

A little girl!

Kaguya Shinomiya stood on tiptoes, secretly peeking over.
