"Ryohei-san told me she wanted to be my danna." I whispered to him.
"God, really? Gosh gosh? But you can't... "
"I know Auntie, I still have an agreement with Hisao-san. But he's willing to wait until next year's spring."
"He's willing to wait until next year!?" Aunt was as surprised as I was. "He's been so nice to you... God, are you gonna get danna again? You have to be careful with this Setsuko. You're still under a special agreement. That Hisao-san, has he never had any tendencies with you all this time?"
"No, you know Auntie, there are so many women..." I told you what I know.
"Hmm...really? But you have to be careful Setsuko, afraid she's offended, business people may know each other. If Hisao-san knew this wouldn't be good..."
"I know Auntie. No. He won't know my personal friendship.
"I hope so. Don't let them know each other, although maybe you should also be nice to Ryohei-san, if Hsiao will have any problems."

And this Friday I was in Tokyo finally. He invited me to dinner with Ryohei-san at a restaurant in Tokyo.
"You live in your apartment in Meguro?"
"Yes, I live there."
"May I drop by." I saw it, Aunt warned me about this one. I can't give up anything. I followed his advice, all this time he guided and took care of me. My brother also said the same thing, I mustn't break the rules, must find a subtle reason not to offend him.
For us the Danna covenant is like a husband and wife. Once my name is smeared in front of my body, it will be smeared forever. Especially if Hisao gets angry and decides unilaterally.
"Ryohei-san, this. You know, I can't, there's an assistant okiya as well, the assistant always reports to Auntie. I'm really sorry." He's breathing now. "Is Ryohei-san angry with me now?" I was forced to take advantage of his compassion, if he really wanted to wait for me I would get it but if it was not possible I was unlucky.
But my reputation must remain untarnished.
"Here you go, I know you're the one who won't tarnish your reputation. I understand your principles, sometimes waiting for it to be."
"Ryohei-san is very kind. Thanks for understanding this." I appreciate the understanding now. Talking to a more mature person is easier.
"Ryohei-san, I never thought I'd see you here." Hisao-san is greeting him now. His voice really makes my heart bad. These two people know each other. I'm really caught red-handed now. Hisao won't like this.
"Hisao-san, I didn't expect to see you here either. I'm having dinner with Setsuko, do you want to join me?"
"No, thank you." Hisao-san's reply was short. Whether these two people dislike each other, this is even better.
"I took Setsuko-san out to dinner, apparently you know her too." Ryohei-san wanted to get more information, and it seemed like she had already made a guess about our relationship.
"Of course I know him. He's going to Tokyo to accompany me in particular." And now Ryohei-san already knows everything. He looked at me before returning to Hisao. I don't know what he's thinking right now.
"I happened to meet him earlier and invited him to dinner. I met him often at Gion and several times also asked for his help at company events. Apparently you're also close to Setsuko-san." Ryohei-san tries to ease the tension even though they don't like each other.
Hisao who was now looking back at me.
"Yes, I was close to him." He came back to me. "I'm waiting for you at my house tomorrow Setsuko." He'll definitely be interrogating tomorrow.
"Well, Hisao-san." Hisao made a short bow to Ryohei. "I'll go, I'll continue your dinner." He left us both, fortunately there was no commotion.
"Yamada Hisao? The one who dared pay you. I really wouldn't think about it. Calm down, just tell me we just happened to meet." He laughed but was not offended.
"The two of you don't seem to have a good relationship."
"Hmm.actually it isn't. Maybe it can be said rival. But like you said, it's your day off. I've explained we happened to meet, you guys have no personal relationship...You shouldn't have had any trouble. Except. he likes you too."
"He's got a lot of women next to him, he just needs a companion..." Ryohei smiled at me.
"Setsuko-san, many beautiful women are chasing us in our current position. But you should probably know liking it's different..."
But I think Hisao-san doesn't like me. Am I wrong?
