454 Shinobu Ningyo

Later that night, Seiji and Natsuya went to a place that they had agreed upon earlier—a high-class Sakura Island restaurant.

However, they weren't there for dinner. They were there instead to meet with Akatsuki Mitarai.

Natsuya returning to her family for a discussion earlier that morning ended unhappily as expected.

Although Seiji hadn't been there to witness the discussion, he could imagine how unpleasant it must have been, as ever since Natsuya returned from visiting her family, her expression had been as grim as if a dark shadow had been cast upon her for the entire day.

Since she was unable to convince her family otherwise, the only option left was to directly confront Akatsuki.

Natsuya's car stopped in front of the restaurant. Seiji and Natsuya exited the car and entered the restaurant.

The restaurant's interior was quite beautiful. It wasn't overly extravagant and seemed quite elegant instead. It was a type of low-profile luxuriousness.
