Chapter 315 We have a bold idea
🕑 Added 2025-04-29 15:02:30 +0000 UTC"So everyone! Are you ready?"
In the restaurant of Nanaya Villa, a girl with a single blonde ponytail snapped her fingers to attract other people's attention.
"Hey, big star, hurry up and start."
"I've already starved to death."
"Let's get started, I still have to tidy up my room."
After the others responded in twos and threes, Lily shook her finger and smiled instructively.
"Tsk tsk, you guys are really unromantic. But, for Director Nanaya's sake, I'll let you go."
Lily raised the glass of juice in her hand
"Well, then I declare that the [Kiryuu Family's First New Year Party (and Christmas Party)] is now officially open~ Happy New Year, everyone~"
"Oh, Happy New Year!"*n
Everyone present echoed the cheers of the girl with a single blond ponytail.
At the same time, everyone stood up from their chairs and tapped their glasses to each other, announcing the official start of the party.
With Ryan's help, Nanaya finally managed to prepare all the food before the party started.
Of course, he was also exhausted.
Ryan could only help with the most basic steps of processing the ingredients, and Nanaya didn't dare let her do some of the more complicated processing.
Although Nanaya felt a great sense of accomplishment looking at the table full of food, his physical exhaustion still made him swear that he would never do this alone again next time.
[I really shouldn't have been so pretentious. Next time I'll just hire a professional chef to cook at home. ]
Because his energy had been exhausted, Nanaya could only hand over the task of hosting the party to the energetic Lily.
There were so many people attending this private party that even the restaurant at the Nanaya Villa seemed a little crowded.
After all, this restaurant was not originally intended for parties for a dozen people.
In short, in order to make the venue more spacious, under Ori's command, Ishida and others moved several cabinets and merged the dining room and the large living room on the first floor into a party venue.
Just like a banquet restaurant, everyone can take food at the dining table and then eat and chat in the living room.
“Wahahaha! Everyone, be more unrestrained and don’t be polite to Nanaya! Your politeness is just not giving me, Matsuno Shiki, face. You’d better just tear down the house——”
Before Shiki could finish his words, Nanaya hit him in the face with a pillow.
"You'll compensate me if I demolish the house?"
“Woohoo~”
Shiki Matsuno ate the chicken leg in big mouthfuls without any image, and kept saying as he ate, "This is great! I can finally eat something other than buckwheat noodles during the New Year. This is simply heaven!"
"I remember that you didn't have the New Year's Eve dinner in your hometown last year."
"Really? Hahaha, don't worry about such details."
After being exposed, Shiki just started to play dumb.
"But it's rare for a private party like this to be so lively." Shion teased Nanaya, "It's not an exaggeration to call it a feast of wine and meat, right?"
"Yeah, yeah. Plenty of wine and chicken."
Nanaya, who was already exhausted, didn't want to say anything more to this traitor.
If Shion hadn't taken the lead to leave just now, Sakura and Rin wouldn't have left, and she wouldn't have been so exhausted.
Although Nanaya had a rare opportunity to be alone with Ryan, it did not bring him any benefits.
The only information that is somewhat useful is probably that the women in the Wettin family are very skilled in cutting things.
Thinking of this, Nanaya looked at Lily who was leading the singing in the middle of the living room, and couldn't help but admire the vitality of the adolescent girl.
According to Ryan, both she and Lily are very good at cutting vegetables.
Although Nanaya was a little confused by the strange statement of "a very powerful existence".
I guess... it's really amazing, right?
"Nanaye, can you get that duck for me if you can?"
Rin, who was standing beside him, rolled up the sleeves of his woolen jacket and spoke to Nanaya.
"oh."
Nanaya moved the plate of roast duck in front of Rin.
"What sauce do you want?"
Rin picked up a piece of pie crust skillfully and asked gently.
"The sour plum ones will do."
Nanaya looked at the plates and chose the one he could accept the most.
Normally it should be served with sweet noodle sauce, but Nanaya forgot to buy it in Chinatown, so he could only ask others to bring some sauce when they came.
So this group of people brought ketchup, plum sauce, Thousand Island sauce, mushroom sauce and chili oil?
God knows how the last one got in. Nanaya swore that he had never prepared this thing.
"OK."
Rin handed the rolled duck pancake to Nanaya.
"Please, my lord."
"Yes, thanks."
Nanaya didn't act pretentiously and simply picked up the wrap filled with duck meat and cucumber shreds and stuffed it into his mouth.
Although the taste is not as authentic as that of scallions and sweet noodle sauce, the sour and sweet taste is really good.
[I am indeed a natural gourmet. 】
Nanaya thought so and ate the roast duck rolls bite by bite.
"Um?"
Feeling something strange, Nanaya stopped what he was doing. He found that Rin was looking at him with a smile for some reason.
"What's wrong? Is there food in my mouth?"
Nanaya quickly touched his face.
"No."
Rin shook his head to deny Nanaya's guess.
"I just..."
"only?"
Nanaya tilted his head.
"I just think that situations like this are really great."
Rin looked at the scene of everyone having fun together, and there was no trace of nostalgia in his eyes.
“Having a party with so many friends really feels like a dream.”
Rin said with a chuckle.
"is that so?"
"Yes, before I met you, the New Year was a very heavy thing every year. I felt very lonely when I didn't go back to my hometown; when I went back to my hometown to celebrate the New Year, I would be with my mother and Elle, and I would think of my father..."
"There has never been a gathering like this before. So I am really happy..."
After saying that, Rin wiped his eyes gently.
"Sorry for talking about a weird topic."
“No.”
Nanaya gently held Rin's hands, "I'm glad you said that. It makes me very proud."
"Nanaya, will you leave me in the future?" Lin asked a question that Nanaya did not expect.
"Actually, Shion has already moved in, right?"
“Ah… this…”
Nanaya was about to deny it when Rin interrupted her.
"Don't pretend. I already knew that someone lived in that room."
Rin's heart is not as carefree as she appears. On the contrary, Rin is very delicate and sensitive.
Precisely because she knew that her man was hard to come by, she was very cautious and tried not to touch Nanaya as much as possible.
Even though she would occasionally show a bit of temper with Nanaya, Rin would never do anything to shake her position in Nanaya's heart.
For example, Rin already knew that Shion had moved into the villa, but she just pretended to be stupid and didn't know.
Although she cares about her boss who lives with her man, she is more afraid that if her relationship is exposed, Nanaya will just reveal himself and leave her.
Well... Of course, it's impossible to say that Rin doesn't care that Shion did something she shouldn't have done to Nanaya when they lived together.
"Hey, Nanaya, you will probably marry Shion in the future, right?" Rin asked softly.
"Ah? Why do you say that? We are just in a pure cohabitation relationship, really." Nanaya immediately raised his hand and swore.
"Pure..."
Rin glanced at Shion, who was communicating with Shiki in the distance, and shook his head slightly.
To say that this woman had no feelings for Nanaya, Rin was the first to eat the plate of roast duck in front of her.
But what can I do?
Apart from appearance, where she could still compete with the other party, she was not even a little bit inferior to Shion in other aspects.
Especially since there is a huge gap in the identities of the two people. She is at best an actress, while the other party is a big capitalist who controls a consortium.
Anyone with a sound mind would know who to choose to marry.
"As a woman, I am still jealous."
Rin muttered softly.
"So, Nanaya, can you swear?"
"What?"
Rin whispered: "No matter how many women you have in the future, never abandon me."
Nanaya's face twisted because he realized that this was a fatal question.
If I agree, doesn't that mean that I will indeed find many other women in the future?
If I don't agree, doesn't that mean I will abandon Rin in the future?
[Can't this girl think of a slightly more normal question? ]
"Rin, I..."
Nanaya was about to pull Rin to answer——
"O~ni~chan~"
A soft thing touched Nanaya's back, and then a pair of small hands began to rub Nanaya's head.
"Illya, stop it."
Illya said unhappily, "Who told Oni-chan and Rin to enter their own world and ignore us?"
"That's right, that's right. Nanaya will be punished by God."
Nanaya then noticed that Shiki Matsuno and Shion had also come to look for him.
"Why did you come together?"
"That's right." Shion replied, "We just discussed the issue of actors in FZ."
Illya took over the conversation: "Anyway, my old man will never act in a play, so we discussed it and decided to find a replacement actor."
"Do you have a choice?"
"Yes." Shiki smiled happily, "We found a perfect backup."
【What do you want here? 】
If it was Illya and Shion, Nanaya could still understand it to some extent.
One of them is the heroine of the project, and the other is the investor. Both of them are related personnel of the project.
But no matter how you look at it, this matter has nothing to do with Four Seasons, or is this guy just here to watch the fun?
"Don't look at me like that. This matter really has something to do with me."
Shiki Matsuno's mouth is wide open, as if he wants to spend all the happiness for next year at once today.
"Because the backup we're looking for is you, Nanaya."
Shiki gave the answer with a very annoying expression.
"We all agreed that you will play the role of [Emiya Kiritsugu]."
"Although I have no evidence, I think you guys want to get me."
Nanaya snorted coldly.
