Chapter 170: Trial Marriage

Sakai Rie returned to the living room after seeing them off. She sat on the sofa and picked up the form with both hands. A red blooming rosebud was printed in the upper right corner of the form.

Underneath the rosebud was written the words “Rosebud Society” in bold kanji characters. Her eyes focused on the columns on the form that required her to fill out her name, date of birth, education, and specialty in her own handwriting. ……

Rie Sakai was lost in thought, completely oblivious to the passage of time. She had fantasized that she would meet Prince Charming like the Cinderella in the fairy tale, and then live in the castle to start a happy life together.

When her fantasy became reality, she felt that there was something wrong with it. For this reason, she couldn’t explain it to herself.

Masayoshi Kishimoto came down from the upper floors, and when he saw her lost in thought, he walked over to her and sat down next to her, saying, “It’s early in the morning, what are you staring at?”

Sakai Rie came back to her senses, raised her hand and handed the form in her hand to him, saying seriously, “You take a look at it too!”

Masayoshi Kishimoto took it in his hand and asked offhandedly, “What’s this?”

“Earlier, two female neighbors who live here came. They invited me to join the Rosary Society. My intention was not to, but I didn’t want them to mistake me for not being a proper woman.

The membership fee costs one million yen. There’s also the fact that the cost of each event is calculated separately.” Sakai Rie said truthfully.

“It’s not a scam, is it?” Masayoshi Kishimoto didn’t finish reading the form in his hand and casually placed it on the other side of the sofa and said.

“A liar is unlikely. Each of them told me that they live in the house here. I can bring along some small gifts and pay a visit in person, won’t everything be clear and verified?” Although Rie Sakai had little social experience, she was not stupid in the head.

Masayoshi Kishimoto felt that she had a point. He knew deep down that no one living here’s family would lack that measly one million yen.

“In that case, then you’ll start learning to be an upper-class celebrity noblewoman from now on.” Masayoshi Kishimoto couldn’t help but laugh and said.

“You’re making light of it. The membership fee alone would cost a million yen. I don’t have that one money.” Sakai Rie said as she retreated.

Could Masayoshi Kishimoto not hear that she meant to make herself pay for it? If she took the initiative to pay this money to the other party, then she would say some grandiose words out of her mouth.

Anyway, it was for her own sake that she asked her to go, so she reluctantly went. In fact, she didn’t want to go and other such words clouded her mind.

Masayoshi Kishimoto wouldn’t get catty with her, after all, that’s what women were like. Moreover, the woman in front of him was indeed a little bit of a bitch.

Even if a woman didn’t have this one problem, she would have another one. In short, if a man were to engage in calculations with a woman, it would be endless.

“I’ll pay for the money, thanks for your hard work.” Masayoshi Kishimoto turned sideways towards her with a smirk.

“Aside from the dues, what about the other expenses that we all spend together? For example, dinners, shopping, entertainment such as golfing, and charitable donations, etc.” Rie Sakai said in a serious manner.

“I’ll just pay for all of them.” Masayoshi Kishimoto said firmly.

“Since you’ve said so, then I …… actually do! I am not too willing to go to this kind of social event. However, I can’t be misunderstood by them as an immodest woman.

Fame above all is not just about me alone, but it also concerns you. Besides, if I go, I’ll be doing you a favor, and I’ll be able to get some information for you. This would be something that falls under the category of women’s diplomacy!” Sakai Rie said with vigor.

As expected by Masayoshi Kishimoto, this was all for her own sake, and she was the one who had worked hard. He smiled bitterly and said, “Whatever you say it is is fine.”

When Masayoshi Kishimoto finished speaking, he just got up to leave, but Rie Sakai stopped him and said, “I still have something to say to you. Why are you in a hurry to leave?”

Masayoshi Kishimoto resumed his seat again, his body weight falling backward, leaning his back against the top of the sofa’s back, crossing his legs, and teasingly said, “Please speak.”

“Nowadays, we live inside such a large house. It’s impossible for me to do hygiene like I did in the past. Even if I did, I wouldn’t be able to keep busy.

As you know, I still have to go to Tokyo University of the Arts. Minato-ku Nishi-Azabu is quite a commute away from Taito-ku Ueno.” Rie Sakai said seriously.

Masayoshi Kishimoto unfolded his arms and rested them on top of the back of the sofa and said, “Why don’t we hire a maid? If you think one is not enough, then we’ll hire two. If two isn’t enough, then we’ll hire three.

You decide. I’ll get you another car. By the way, there’s a sports car in the underground garage of that previous home. I’ve never driven it, so you can take it and drive it.”

“It’s useless even if you give me the car keys, I don’t have a driver’s license. I can tell you, I’m not being lazy. As for the cooking, I’ll do it myself.” Sakai Rie said with her head held high.

“Do you think this will work? You go learn a driver’s license and come back. Why don’t we just hire another full-time chef and a full-time housekeeper to live in. In the future, besides going to school, you’ll be in charge of beauty.

In an ancient Chinese book called “Strategies of the Warring States”, it is written that a woman is willing to please herself. This means that a woman is willing to be carefully made up for someone who appreciates her and likes her.” Justice Kishimoto calmly said.

“Are you being sarcastic about me being a vase that is completely dependent on a man?” Rie Sakai’s eyes became fixed straight on him and said unhappily.

“Nope. You’re just being too much.” Masayoshi Kishimoto said succinctly.

“There’s no need to go through the trouble of hiring a live-in maid, cook, or housekeeper. This kind of neighborhood should provide all sorts of housekeeping services at home. At that time, you’ll pay for it and I’ll just take care of it.” Sakai Rie thought about it.

“Alright! You can make the decisions on the inside of the home, there’s no need to ask for my opinion.” Masayoshi Kishimoto was based on the principle of the traditional division of labor between the man and the woman.

He also didn’t like to worry about such sesquipedalian daily household chores. As a man himself, it was only logical that he should shoulder the responsibility of making money Dao.

Sakai Rie crossed her arms over her chest and suddenly wondered, “Why do I feel something strange?”

Masayoshi Kishimoto did not say anything. He could see that the two of them had already formed a new type of relationship between men and women in the latter days, a trial marriage.

That is, living together and living like two people. If you think it is suitable, then run to get married and get a license. If in the process of all kinds of family conflicts, the break up to break up.

This is different from cohabitation, that is, a man and a woman live together not necessarily for the purpose of marriage. Trial marriage is completely different, the essence is to get married, but also worried about two people after marriage habits are not coordinated, sharp contradictions, so in line with the principle of not divorced to practice a little.
