My girlfriends

Shishio remembered he had done this in the past. He sat on the bench with Roberta by his side. Naturally, they attracted everyone's attention, but neither of them paid attention.

However, his mood was different from the past. Instead, he was somewhat restless, especially when he thought about his father's call.

He didn't expect to see this cliche of development where he would suddenly get a fiancee.

He wasn't sure who this fiancee was, and it came so suddenly like a hurricane. He didn't even have time to prepare, and naturally, each of his girlfriends knew about it, especially when he received the call when they were present.

Even if his voice wasn't loud, his expression must make them realize something had happened. He also didn't hide this fact since he believed them. He told them about this matter because he believed in them, but at the same time, he also wanted to tell them how helpless he was. He knew that by telling them, he might make them worry, but if he didn't tell them, it meant he didn't believe them.

If his girlfriends knew that, they might cry since they thought they only meant that much to him, so he told them.

Everything happened so suddenly.

His father just told him in the middle of the day, and he didn't even tell him in detail.

The only thing that his father said was, "Just take it easy. It's just a fiancee, and no one tells you to break up with your girlfriends."

While he was speechless, he wanted to ask more, but his father didn't have time to talk since he was busy. The only way for him to get the answer was from his mother, but she didn't know much since she was also helpless.

His father might love his mother, but in the family matter, she didn't have a voice, and her only role was a loving wife and mother. Even though his father didn't let her join the talk, she accepted it since she knew her ability well.

What was even speechless was the fact his grandfather was also involved in this matter, so it made his mother even unable to do anything.

The only thing that she could say was that they were only going to introduce him to a good girl, and they wouldn't force him to marry. If they were good to each other, then it was alright, but if their relationship was far from good, no one would force him.

In other words, his voice was heard, and everyone still respected his opinion.

However, it was a normal thing since he was the one who got engaged and not them.

He was angry, but this is how some parents were, right?

Many of them didn't listen to their children's opinions, thinking that they were still childish.

Still, they didn't force him to marry and only asked him to meet, so he knew they were good parents.

Yet, he had to say they really brought him a lot of trouble.

While his girlfriends trusted and believed him, the worry in their hearts was impossible to erase. After all, this was the decision of his family. They knew he was rich, but they didn't know that it was all his personal wealth. Instead, they thought it was coming from their family.

He didn't bother to fix their misunderstanding since it was troublesome to explain.

Still, because of this, they were worried that he might not be able to fight against his family's decision. Unless he eloped with them and cut down his relationship with his family like how the tv drama showed television.

Shishio wasn't sure what kind of images they had in their minds, but he could only coax them.

"Shishio-sama."

"What's wrong, Roberta?"

He didn't bring his other girlfriends with him to meet his parents. Instead, he only brought Roberta with him since he was afraid the situation would become chaotic.

"Are you going to say anything to them?"

Roberta didn't turn her head and just reminded him about the people behind them.

"...."

He also didn't turn his head toward his spies.

Even if he was blind, he could tell that there were many people that followed him, and the identity of those people was his girlfriends. Even though he didn't bring them, they decided to follow him secretly.

While he wasn't sure how they felt, he knew that if he was in their place, he might do the same.

Still, if his girlfriends suddenly had a fiance, he would meet their parents and tell them that they were his.

However, they couldn't do what he could do, and the only thing they could do was follow him secretly.

Many of them also hadn't seen their boyfriend's parents, so they were quite curious, and some of them only saw their boyfriend's mother, so they also wanted to see their boyfriend's father.

But, more importantly, if possible, they wanted to talk with his parents since they definitely wouldn't accept if he was forced to marry someone that he didn't know, and they also wanted to tell them that they would definitely never break up their relationship with him.

"It's okay. It's not like they'll do anything," he said calmly and didn't tell them to go home. Instead, he pretended that he didn't see them.

Still, among his girlfriends that came, only the younger ones came.

The older one wanted to join, but they were slightly nervous and weren't ready to meet his parents.

After all, what should they say when they meet his parents?

Hello, I am your son's woman.

Should they say that?

Honestly, they should, but they were worried about what his parents' expression would be when they found out their son dated someone who was older than him, especially when their age difference was quite a lot.

Even Ayaka, who was the youngest among them, was in her 23.

Still, he felt that they were overthinking since his father didn't even mind when he knew Roberta dated him.

He had quite a lot of age differences from Roberta.

Roberta was almost in her 30, after all.

Yet it was alright.

Still, Roberta was different from them since while she positioned herself as his woman, she was also his maid and knew his family, so it was easier for her to integrate into his family.

However, they were different since they didn't know about their parents at all.

Ayaka aside, Hiratsuka and Tachibana Hina were quite nervous when they thought about how his parents would think when the teachers of his school seduced their son.

So this also led to the situation where only his girlfriends, whose age was similar to his, decided to follow him in a not-so-secret way.

Roberta nodded at his decision and asked, "But what are you doing with your fiancee, Shishio-sama?" Even if she would follow him no matter what, she was still curious about his decision.

"There aren't many things I will do, but it's still necessary for me to attend the party since this party isn't so simple."

If this was only his father's business associate, Shishio wouldn't bother to visit, but this party was the party of the noble families that still existed until now from the time of the Empire of Japan. Almost all the families were at least five centuries old and were all famous Daimyo and samurai families that had survived the Sengoku Period.

There were even the Emperor and the Empress who would present this party.

While modern society differs from the past, the connection and influence of those noble families are still retained.

If there was only one, they might not be that powerful.

However, what if they were all together?

If they were all together, their presence would be enough to shake this country, especially when many of them were rich and had a powerful position in the various government institutions, big companies, and many others.

Still, while he didn't say it, he was quite curious about who his fiancee would be.

"But I will politely refuse this engagement."

Anyway, he wasn't forced to get engaged, so he didn't think it was necessary to accept or pretend to accept. It was better to reject, so there wouldn't be any more such pranks in his life.

"I see."

Roberta nodded and didn't say more words. Instead, she held his hand quietly, waiting for his parents to come.

Soon, the train that his parents rode arrived.

While he was rather calm, his girlfriends couldn't calm down.

"He has stood up!"

"Ah, are his parents coming?"

"What should I do? I am nervous!"

They were all nervous, but they kept watching in his direction, ignoring all the gaze of the people in the surroundings. However, it was normal for all of them to stare in their direction since they dressed like suspicious people with a cap and a facemask.

If Shishio didn't ask his bodyguards to explain some bullshit to the staff, they might have been caught by the staff of the train station at this moment because of how suspicious they were.

Shishio didn't know what everyone was doing, but he saw his parents walk out from the train.

"Father. Mother."

Shioriko (Shishio's mother) and Takumi (Shishio's father) quickly noticed his son since, among all this crowd, without a doubt, he was the one that was the most noticeable. Their son was like the moon in the night sky. While its light wasn't the brightest, without a doubt, its presence was the most noticeable at night and the most beautiful.

"Shishio." 2x

Shioriko and Takumi approached their son. Even though they had met each other in Kyoto before, naturally, they missed their son.

While they talked, he helped them to carry their luggage, but suddenly he was stunned by someone who came beside them.

"Mashiro?"

"Eh?" 2x

Shioriko and Takumi looked at the cute and beautiful girl in front of them, and they felt this girl was quite familiar.

"Shishio is my man."

Shiina said while hugging Shishio's arm.

"...." Shishio, Roberta, Shioriko, and Takumi.

"Mashiro!"

Then, soon, all of his girlfriends came out from their hiding places, trying to pull Shiina, but she didn't budge and kept hugging his arm.

"Er... who are they?" Takumi asked after he was taken aback.

"...My girlfriends."

"....."
