"What do you want in this time of the year?" Suki Tomi's disgruntled voice was finally heard after such a long time. "As a butler, you should know the relatives of your family are having a hard time right now."

Masuto cleared his throat and answered with a strong and committed voice. "Please accept my apologies, Master Tomi," Masuto replied with an apology. "But today, I have something important to request from you."

If you were to listen to Suki Tomi's answer, you would've heard the most annoying yet powerful voice in the world. She scoffed. "And what exactly could that be?"

"Master Etsu Saburo is now alone in her household stuck with her servants and her one butler (namely, me) but now, she has no one to watch or take care of her." There didn't seem to be a change of interests at all coming from Suki Tomi judging by her answer.

"So?" she replied. "What are you implying?" Sometimes, Masuto wonders what goes through rich people's heads ('Apart from Etsu-chan's, of course...') and wonders if they even think about what people are saying to them.

"I was hoping you could maybe take Master Etsu into your custody." A long sigh flashed through the phone. Masuto waited for his master's answer but it just didn't seem to come through.

He knew that this wouldn't be easy because of how arrogant of a person Suki Tomi was but then just by a miracle, Suki Tomi's husband's voice was heard on the other side of the phone.

"Hello, Young Masuto," Etsu's grandfather, Kiyoshi Saburo, picked up the phone after taking from Suki. "I am hearing that you would like us to take in Etsu as our family within our household, agreed? Well..." After a couple of breaths, Kiyoshi spoke. "Let us consult first. Please hold for a moment."

Some brief moments later, Kiyoshi said through the phone, "We have decided what we will do," Masuto expected this decision to take a long time, but not this long... they must have really hesitated in their final decision and had a lot of disagreements.

"Masuto, Butler of the Saburo family under Etsu Saburo. We are now appointing you to be the official person with the responsibility and care over Etsu Saburo."
