"Grandfather plans to present this bottle of exquisite sake as a birthday gift at the banquet five days from now to Mr. Bright."
Aoto nodded gently, "I see..."
Aoto didn't know this Mr. Bright at all and didn't care about him, so the name "Bright" floated away from Aoto's mind like a passing cloud as soon as it appeared.
However, upon hearing Elodie mention the term "grandfather," Aoto couldn't help but recall the scenes he had just witnessed in the study, where Elodie and her grandfather Anthony had a dispute.
Aoto hesitated for a moment, then softly said to Elodie:
"Miss Angoulême, although it might be somewhat inappropriate for an outsider like me to say this... you and your grandfather should get along well, don't quarrel."
Elodie stared blankly at Aoto, then gave a bitter smile full of apology.
"Mr. Tachibana, allow me to apologize once again for the rather unseemly scene you witnessed in the study just now."
