[Dahlia's Point of View]

Dahlia came to Shinji’s grandfather’s house with her stepbrother Shinji and her friend Rika.

“Wow! It’s really luxurious inside.”

“Really?”

The hallway was long and wide, far more luxurious than a school could ever imagine.

And there were vases, hanging scrolls, and other luxurious decorations everywhere.

There were countless rooms, and Dahlia was shocked when her stepbrother said

“Isn’t this normal?”

“It’s not normal, Onii-chan…”

Ehh, Shinji says, not seeming convinced.

If this is normal, then what is the rundown apartment Rika used to live in?

Is it a chicken coop?

“Come on, Takahara-sama is waiting for you in the back.”

A man in black who calls himself Niekawa Saburo shows her around.

Looking around, Rika exclaims in genuine admiration, “Wow, that’s amazing!”

Dahlia… is feeling fear.

What kind of rich guy is he?

It’s strange that something like a samurai mansion like this exists in Reiwa Japan.

I passed several maids in black suits. Strange.

…The worst part is Shinji, who is walking around alone in such an abnormal space.

“Onii-chan… he must be really rich…”

Now that I think about it, Shinji lives in a tower apartment.

Moreover, his parents live separately.

…It’s more than enough for one child (actually two, including Dahlia).

And the person who bought it for him… is Kaida Kogen.

This is bad, it wouldn’t be surprising if he turned out to be a really bad guy…

I’m suddenly getting scared.

As Dahlia trembles, Shinji… gently grabs her hand.

“It’ll be hard if you get lost.”

…My stepbrother.

Why is he so kind?

When I think about it, he was the first to save me when I was sinking into the darkness.

I wonder if the truly wealthy help the weak as if they were breathing…

That’s what I thought.

“What’s wrong, Dahlia?”

“No, I just thought you were cool, Onii-chan.”

“Oh, I’m embarrassed.”

Just because he’s rich he’s still Shinji.

He’s a kind Onii-chan…or so Dahlia thought.
