November 6th, AD 2095 / Yotsuba Main House - Drawing room
Upon the sound of more knocking at the door, Miyuki turned around.
"Merely being a Yotsuba Guardian isnt anything special. My own conceit was abruptly brought to a close by Yanagi-san, and Im still unable to win against my master yet."
Tatsuya and Kazama continued the story Miyuki was remembering.
"I dont believe you held any conceit from the beginning. Also, Im unable to win against him either as well."
It seems Miyuki had only been spacing out for a short period of time. Still, to her, it felt like she had recalled a great many things.
The knocking came again, stronger this time.
When Miyuki let them in, with a polished excuse me a young butler entered.
Rather than young, he was more simply still a youth. He did not seem to be much different in age from Tatsuya.
Despite that, not allowing a hint of irritation or impatience to show on his face, he was well trained indeed.
"I am very sorry."
All of a sudden, the youth began to apologise.
"The business with our earlier associate is rather prolongedcould you please wait just a while longer, my lady requests." My lady, refers to Yotsuba Maya.
She has never married. The term my lady is therefore technically incorrect, but neither Miyuki, Kazama, or Tatsuya possess correcting conventional nomenclature as a hobby.
For that matter, even if they did, for the sake of politeness supplying a more accurate term was out of the question.
"It is not a problem."
Querying Miyuki and Tatsuya visually, Kazama answered the youths request. "Thank you very much."
The youth did not bother verifying Tatsuya and Miyukis consent.
Setting aside Tatsuya, not even asking Miyuki, was probably because as a relative Miyuki was considered one of the Yotsuba.
That is not incorrect.
Tatsuya did not for a moment consider himself a Yotsuba, but the same cannot be said for Miyuki.
As much as she is able to reject being the eldest daughter of Shiba Tatsurou, she cannot reject being the daughter of Shiba Miya.
Therefore she, against her own desires, cannot reject being the niece of Yotsuba Maya.
