Ayia's mind was brilliant, so she didn't have to think much to conclude, "I guess they would be surprised to see us there, especially me. They would wonder what made me choose to work there of all places. With their previous good impression of Theo, they probably had an even better impression of him if he was able to poach me after my big speech."
"Exactly! Now you can understand why they trust Theo so much to allow us to go with him and the others on a vacation." Shizuka finally finished her argument.
Ayia was silent for a while as she arrived in front of their mansion before she said, "I admit that what you say makes sense. Well, at least they like Theo, so it won't a be problem when I tell them that Theo and I are getting to know each other." She smiled as she drove the car into the mansion's garage.
"Are you going to tell them already?" Shizuka asked in surprise.
"Not right at the moment, I mean in the future when I tell them." Ayia giggled.
Her relationship with Theo was only at the beginning, and she didn't want her family to meddle in their relationship as she knew how nosy they were. She wanted to spare Theo, at least for the moment.
Ayia and Shizuka exited the car after Ayia parked, and they walked toward the elevator.
"And you can't tell them either, Shizu-chan. Especially, Kaori-nee-chan. If she gets to know I'm dating someone, she will dig him until finding out his ancestors." Ayia shook her head as she entered the elevator with Shizuka.
"She would probably do such a thing indeed." Shizuka agreed.
Kaori was their big sister, and she was overprotective of the two of them.
The two girls talked a bit more before the elevator doors opened at their floors, and the two of them immediately walked into each of their rooms.
Half an hour later, the two girls finished packing their luggage to take with them to Sakura City.
Without wasting any time, the two of them took a shower, to clean up the sweat of last night's party, and dressed in their usual clothes before leaving their bedrooms.
When they left the rooms, the house's butler was waiting for them outside, "Ayia-sama, Shizuka-sama, the car is already waiting for you downstairs, and your luggage is already there."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Thank you, George." Ayia smiled as she took Shizuka's hand and headed downstairs.
Shortly after, Ayia and Shizuka were seated in the back seat of an SUV while their private driver drove them to the airport.
Arriving there, the girls were greeted by the usual staff that took care of them when they flew.
"Good morning, misses!" The stewardess greeted them with a smile.
"Good morning!" Ayia replied with a smile.
"Good morning, misses!" A middle-aged man greeted them when they arrived by the plane.
"Good morning, Fausto!"
"What time do you think we will arrive at Sakura City?"
Fausto was the private pilot that would pilot the plane for them.
"It's almost 10:30 am now, so we will probably arrive around 1 pm." Fausto replied.
"Thank goddess, we won't be too late then." Ayia heaved a sigh of relief.
Shortly after, the girls boarded the plane and sat down.
10 minutes later, after everything was checked, the girls felt the plane moving, and no longer after the plane accelerated and took flight.
"Did you warn them that we were leaving already?" Ayia asked as she observed through the window the plane ascending the skies.
She observed the silhouette of Elffire City disappear as she already missed Theo and the others.
"I sent a message, they will know that we will be arriving." Shizuka replied.
After the plane stabilized itself, the flight attendant came to them and asked with a smile, "Misses, would you like something to eat or drink?"
"Hmm, I'll have a hot milk tea, please." Ayia said.
"I'll have the same as well, thank you." Shizuka added.
"I'll be right back with your orders." The flight attendant replied with a professional smile.
The flight went by without any hiccups, the girls fell asleep as soon as they finished drinking their milk tea. They were exhausted after last night's party, and they were still a little hangover. Therefore, they needed to rest for a bit before they met their family.
Otherwise, their family would find it weird if they noticed that the two of them were so tired and with hangover symptoms.
They made themselves comfortable and slept throughout the flight duration, and they only woke when the captain turned on the lights and told them that they were arriving in Sakura City.
The two of them yawned and stretched themselves as they tried to wake up.
"What a good nap." Ayia exclaimed happily.
"I'm still sleepy, but we will only be able to sleep again after the party tonight." Shizuka commented.
"That's true." Ayia replied.
Shortly after, they observed the plane descending and the huge city through the windows.
As always, Sakura City was bubbling with activity even if it was New Year's Eve.
Suddenly, the girls felt the plane touching the ground, they had landed!
5 minutes later the plane stopped and the doors opened.
Ayia and Shizuka exited the plane and immediately saw that some people were waiting for them.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Good afternoon, Ayia-sama, Shizuka-sama!" The butler said with a bow.
The other employees also bowed when they saw the little misses.
"Good afternoon, Alfred!" Ayia replied with a smile.
"Where's mom and dad?" She asked.
"They are waiting for you two. If the misses may follow me, please." He said as he boarded golf cart that would take them to the mansion.
The private airport was right next to the mansion, but it was still a little distance away. That's why these carts were there to facilitate the transport of the family members.
"Okay, let's go then." Ayia replied as she and Shizuka boarded the cart with Alfred.
The other employees would take care of the girls' luggage and bring it to their rooms.
"Has everyone arrived already?" Shizuka asked.
"Yes, you two are the last ones to arrive." Alfred replied.
"I assume that the dad may be upset with us, right?" Ayia giggled.
"I wouldn't know, miss." Alfred replied as the corner of his mouth twitched a little.
He knew that these two girls didn't care much about the family rules, which made their father's life much harder as he was the family leader.
"Mom is here too?" Ayia asked excitedly.
"Yes, the madam arrived yesterday from her last trip." Alfred replied as they neared the mansion.
"Sweet! I hope she brought something for us!" Ayia said with shining eyes.
Shortly after, the three of them arrived in front of an enormous mansion that had distinct Yamato Architecture characteristics.
It was time for the girls to meet their family after some time apart from each other.
