Shirakawa Sawahei: "..."
Is that what you call waiting for me? That's what I call being greedy for my tea leaves! How shameless!
Though he was complaining in his heart, Shirakawa Sawahei didn't plan to be stingy with his good stuff. He couldn't really tell the difference, so it would be good use to entertain someone who appreciated tea.
"Please come in."
George Slater, being Italian, wasn't quite accustomed to this type of tea, so Shirakawa Sawahei considerately made him a cup of instant coffee.
"Ahem... uh... Miss Nazuki... I asked your father to bring me here this time mainly to apologize for my previous inappropriate remarks." The maestro didn't touch the steaming cup of instant coffee in front of him, cleared his throat, and solemnly said, "I'm very sorry that my personal emotions affected your view of the Slatter family."
"I must reiterate that Miss Kaori is the most intelligent girl I have ever met and also has an extraordinary talent for piano."
