Satou was a bit speechless and said, "That's not what I meant. Actually, the scales on its wings are a very precious spice."
"Really?"
Alice Nakiri was both surprised and delighted, growing even fonder of the butterfly charm material resting on her finger.
"Mm, you just need to feed it liquid food like fruit juice or milk and honey. The scales can be collected and used as a spice."
Satou said with a smile.
"That's great!"
Alice Nakiri was like a little girl who had just received a doll, unable to put down the butterfly charm material in her hand. Then, she suddenly stood on tiptoe, gave Satou a big kiss on the cheek, and said with a smile, "I knew it, Satou, you're the best to me!"
Satou touched his somewhat damp cheek, feeling a little helpless.
Alice Nakiri placed the butterfly charm material on her hair, twirled around in front of Satou, then pulled his hand and cooed, "How about it, Satou, do I look good?"
Satou examined her for a moment, then nodded and said, "Mm, you do look very beautiful."
Alice, wearing her school uniform, stood gracefully with her hands clasped behind her back, her smile as radiant as a flower. Her beautiful eyes, as she looked around, revealed a faint blush. On her silver-white hair, the butterfly 07 was still opening and closing its wings, emitting a rich fragrance, like a flower fairy.
"Really?"
Alice Nakiri seemed very happy after hearing Satou's words.
"Hmph! Erina, that show-off, I'm going to go show off in front of her right now!"
She pouted her small lips proudly, then kissed Satou again, and then ran off excitedly, clearly going to show off the newly acquired butterfly charm material to her sister, Erina Nakiri.
Watching her skip away, Satou couldn't help but feel a little exasperated and amused. Despite how much these two sisters seemed to squabble on the surface, their relationship was actually very good.
However, Satou then began to feel a little troubled. If the two sisters were to live with him in the future, wouldn't it be a constant rhythm of daily arguments and vying for his attention?
Then he would never have a peaceful day.
In the evening, at the invitation of Leonora Nakiri, Satou and Erina Nakiri went out to dinner together.
However, Erina Nakiri was clearly not in a good mood, her face puffed up like a bun, looking angrily at the mother and daughter sitting opposite her, who were smiling very happily.
"Oh? Erina-chan isn't in a good mood today? But I'm very happy today!"
Leonora Nakiri was wearing a long purple dress today, revealing her fair shoulders. Her appearance was beautiful and elegant. On a wisp of silver hair that fell on the left side of her face, a beautiful butterfly rested, slowly spreading its wings, like an exquisite bow tied in her hair.
Alice Nakiri, sitting next to her, also had an identical butterfly resting on her hair, but it was on the right side of her face.
The mother and daughter, one on the left and one on the right, were more beautiful than flowers, like a pair of twin sisters.
Looking at the mother and daughter in front of her, Erina Nakiri gnashed her silver teeth, furious.
Originally, after receiving the gift from Satou yesterday, she couldn't have been happier. She even, uncharacteristically for a girl, had Hisako Arato take a few photos of her and posted them online.
She had always thought that her butterfly was a unique gift, but she never expected that in the afternoon, Alice Nakiri would excitedly run up to her and show off an identical butterfly!
If that were all, it would have been fine, but after school, she even saw an identical butterfly on Megumi Tadokoro's hair!
And that wasn't all. When they arrived at Alice's house, Satou even gave Leonora Nakiri another one!
And after they entered the house, Alice kept showing off to her.
It was simply too infuriating!
The more Erina Nakiri thought about it, the angrier she became. She couldn't help but fiercely pinch Satou under the table with her small hand.
Satou immediately gasped in pain.
Actually, he was also very helpless, because after Alice showed off to Erina in the afternoon, she ran back home and showed off her treasure to her mother.
Leonora Nakiri was also seeing such a beautiful and luxurious pet for the first time, and it was said that its scales were precious spices, so she was naturally envious.
After learning that his Mother-in-law also liked butterfly charm material, Satou immediately bought one and gave it to her during dinner.
"What a truly precious gift! Satou is such a good boy. He sent it right away after hearing I liked it."
Leonora Nakiri held her cheeks in her hands, and with the blue-purple butterflies on her hair tips, she exuded a girlish charm, giving off a lovely feeling.
"Mm-hmm, I feel like this butterfly really suits us, mother and daughter!"
Alice Nakiri also held her own cheeks, smiling as she looked at Erina.
"Isn't that right? I think it suits Erina-chan even better! When Erina-chan wears it, it always feels a bit strange."
Leonora Nakiri nodded with a beaming smile.
Watching the mother and daughter deliberately show off in front of her, Erina Nakiri felt like she was going crazy with anger, and she pinched Satou's leg again.
"Is this lobster meat? The texture is truly delicate and elegant! Satou is such a good boy."
Leonora Nakiri ate a piece of raw flying shrimp sashimi made from the flying shrimp Satou had given her, exclaiming, "The dried beef you sent last time was also delicious! And the smoked pork too!"
"Aunt, is it really okay for you not to go back to Northern Europe? I heard you've pushed all your responsibilities onto Uncle now, haven't you?"
Erina Nakiri's forehead was covered in black lines, and she gritted her teeth, saying, "Besides, it's not good to keep accepting things from Satou, is it?"

"Well, because I haven't seen Alice in a long time, I'm really reluctant to leave. Oh, by the way, Satou, come and taste Aunt's cooking! I think you've lost some weight recently. Erina-chan must not be treating you well; that child is really too careless."
Leonora Nakiri skillfully changed the subject with a smile, then used her chopsticks to pick up a dish she had personally made for Satou.
Satou was also a bit speechless; he felt he had pampered this Mother-in-law too much, sending her ingredients from time to time, making her so content that she didn't want to go back.
But wasn't he being so good to his Mother-in-law all because of Alice?
Faint blue veins pulsed on Erina Nakiri's fair forehead, clearly on the verge of an outburst.
However, Leonora Nakiri seemed not to notice, continuously smiling and serving Satou food at the dinner table, as if Erina was the outsider, completely neglected, while Satou was the favored son-in-law.
After dinner, as soon as they stepped out, Erina walked ahead angrily, ignoring Satou behind her.
"I say, what are you angry about?"
Satou asked helplessly.
"It's all Aunt's fault, it's just too embarrassing! It's one thing to shamelessly accept so many things from others, but she even showed them off in front of me! It's so rude!"
Erina Nakiri turned around and shouted angrily.
