    food, I eat as well.


    Everything taste so

    My favorite is salmon.


    It has a distinct flavor

    My dear cousin.


    “Her and I are


    acquaintances..”


    Ronin replies with


    no emotion.


    “Hanging with her

    Ronin tries to hold


    back a smirk.


    I frown, suddenly


    speaking up,“The


    disrespect is crazy.


    Cerise is my cousin


    so please don''t talk


    crap about her!”


    Both Nina and Ami


    gasps.


    I glare at both of


    them with an


    intense gaze.
