Chapter 118 You were very disobedient just now. How should I punish you?

"Mr. Sei, it's ready."

About fifteen minutes later, the maid returned with the heated eel rice.

Just as Junichi was about to reach out and take it, he suddenly seemed to remember something and said in a low voice, "Lady Chizuru, can you grant me a request?"

Chizuru Miyuuin looked at him with a scrutinizing expression, wondering what tricks Junichi Sei was up to this time.

"We're all family here, so feel free to speak your mind."

But in front of her best friend, she could only manage a gentle smile, trying her best to appear approachable.

Junichi took a deep breath, looking a little nervous: "Could you please sit down and eat with me, Miss Tatemonato? I've seen her standing all day."

But no sooner had Junichi Sei spoken than the little maid, who was someone's confidante, knelt down in fear and trembling: "No... no need, how can Nagi dine with the lady?"

Seeing this, Seijun got up to help the other person.

But to everyone's surprise, Konagi stubbornly remained seated on her knees, seemingly unwilling to rise without Chizuru's permission.

Clearly, Hayami-sensei, who upholds the principle of equality for all, also strongly dislikes seeing this scene.

Even though it's her own country's culture, and it's somewhat presumptuous for an outsider to do so, she still tried to ask her best friend, "We're all out having fun, can't we make an exception just this once?"

However, it was the young lady, Izumi Goryuin, who chose to observe coldly from the sidelines.

Although Utatane Konagi is nominally her personal maid, she is actually the one who obeys her orders. She knows better than anyone whose words carry weight.

“Of course.” Under everyone’s gaze, Chizuru Miyuuin nodded with a smile, as if she didn’t mind at all.

But if someone were to notice, they would see that she had crossed her arms in front of her chest.

If someone like Junichi Se, who has studied psychology, saw this, he would know that in psychology, this is considered a sign of resistance, usually indicating that the other person is in a state of alertness or defensiveness.

In fact, Konagi, the maiden in the tether, remained respectfully seated and did not change her posture at all.

Seeing this, Chizuru Goryuin subtly withdrew her gaze, then truly placed her hand back on the barley tea, gently rubbing the teacup with her palm: "Get up, didn't you hear what Mr. Se and Ms. Hayami have said?"

At the same time, Junichi felt the arm he was holding loosen, and Nagi Utatane stood up respectfully.

But even after Junichi Sei sat back down, the other person remained standing in the same spot.

Junichi's gaze shifted, and he secretly glanced at Chizuru Miyuuin out of the corner of his eye. Chizuru seemed to know what Junichi was thinking, and raised her smooth chin, looking up at him.

It had a distinctly intimidating feel to it.

Looks like we've been seen through!

It's regrettable, but we have to admit that the opponent won this round.

They wanted to win people's hearts, but they underestimated the spell someone had cast on the little maid.

Master Qianhe completely subdued the little maid with just a few glances and gestures.

It's much more interesting to fight against a grandmaster!

It wasn't a one-sided crushing victory; this back-and-forth gave Junichi a strange sense of excitement.

The thrill of wanting to conquer but not being conquered spurred him on to the next challenge!

"Perfect timing. I'm not used to sitting and lying down all day. My spine is almost too stiff to stretch. Standing up and loosening my muscles is a good idea."

With that, Junichi Sei boldly stood up with the eel rice bowl in his hand and began to eat heartily, ignoring everyone's stares.

This guy!

Chizuru Goryuin raised her eyelids slightly, and her eyes became even more profound.

She could easily tell that there was a hidden meaning in the other person's words.

The talk of sitting or lying down is clearly meant to satirize her for using her power to intimidate others, while simultaneously emphasizing that she is not the kind of person who can be easily tamed!

"I'm tired of sitting too, standing for a while won't hurt."

At this moment, Izumi Hibiki Goryuin, who had maintained an indifferent attitude, suddenly put down her bowl and chopsticks and stood up.

This clear stance of taking sides is more like a slap in the face from afar.

Her stepdaughter's hostile attitude towards her had been going on for a long time, and normally Chizuru Goryuin wouldn't have cared too much about it.

But doing this in front of her best friend today, once this kind of situation is formed, will undoubtedly make her, who is isolated and helpless, appear too cold and heartless.

This sudden attack was something that Chizuru Goryuin had not anticipated.

"Nagi, are you planning to make me invite you myself?" Her grip on the barley tea cup tightened involuntarily, her voice filled with strong dissatisfaction.

Ultimately, the problem still comes back to Nagi Utatane.

Having served the other party for many years, Konagi immediately understood what the other party meant. She pursed her lips and bowed to each of them, saying, "I'm sorry, it was Konagi who was rude."

When he faced Junichi Se, the other man, who was bent over at a 90-degree angle, did not stand up again.

Master Tea is indeed Master Tea; with this move of using someone else's strength against them, it successfully dismantled the coercive force formed by Sei Junichi and his companion.

She was the one causing trouble, yet she used the maid as a shield.

Even knowing it was a calculated move, the 'kind' Junichi wouldn't let the little maid be in a difficult position. He exchanged a glance with Izumi Hibiki, pretended to stomp on the ground, and then sat back down while complaining, "The swimming pool floor is too slippery, it's best to be careful."

Seeing this, Nagi, as if she had made a mistake, lowered her head and obediently sat down next to her.

Out of courtesy, she should maintain a distance of an empty seat from the host and guests.

However, the disgruntled Sei Junichi was not about to let her have her way. He jokingly asked, "What's wrong? Do I have lice? Why are you so far away from me?"

Knowing that if the fight continued today, especially with her best friend's feelings to consider, Chizuru knew she would never gain the upper hand in a two-on-one situation, she conceded, saying, "Nagi, don't be impolite."

Nagi, looking distressed, obediently sat down next to Junichi.

Actually, she was more than happy to have it.

Being caught between Chizuru and Se-san was causing her immense suffering.

On one side is Chizuru, whom he respects most, and on the other side is the woman he likes...

No matter what she chooses, she will inevitably disappoint the other person.

But is she really stupid?

On the contrary, she knew someone's personality better than anyone else, and just like in the situation just now, she could never go against Ms. Chizuru's wishes.

Doing so will only make the other party more hostile towards Se-san, and even lose trust in her.

The ultimate result was that Chizuru was completely enraged and did something terrible, potentially harming Sei-san as well.

The idea of ​​using flower fertilizer is not unfounded.

She had personally witnessed some clueless guy being turned into fertilizer.

Of course, that guy deserved to die too, for using filthy words to make liberties with Miss Chizuru at the banquet.

No matter what, she didn't want anything to happen to Sei-san, otherwise she would be very sad.

Even if it's misunderstood, it's unacceptable!

With these feelings in mind, Nagi sat nervously next to Junichi.

And as it turned out, the other party was indeed very angry.

He boldly placed his hand under her skirt, his deep voice slightly suppressed: "You were very disobedient just now. Tell me, how should I punish you?"
