I am here to evaluate the business assets of each of the siblings

I told her that actually, I am here to evaluate the business assets of every member of the Ushiromiya family. I've learned a lot about Krauss' already and, of course, I know much about Hideyoshi's and Rudolf's. Those are a matter of public record. The whole family seemed to bristle at that, but I continued. I told her... well, Miss Rosa, you're the only member of the family who I've yet to acquire a picture of, as far as their financial assets go.

"Ha! Rosa's company? Anti-Rosaaa? It's a so-called fashion company that I can't name a single product of! What is there to evaluate?!" Eva scoffed, producing a hand-held folding fan with a quick flick of her wrist and hiding her snide smile with it. Hideyoshi urged her to show more tact, in that strong Kansai dialect of his.

"Heh heh... Eva's being a bully, but she's right. You can't put Rosa's business venture on the same level as mine," Rudolf remarked callously, then called one of the servants over to refill his drink. "Especially if she won't talk about it. That or her husband..."

Rosa hung her head for a moment, looking defeated. Either she was legitimately upset by her siblings' insults, or else, she was hoping I'd take some pity on her in this evaluation. Either way, I saw it as my chance to move onto the next phase of my plan for this route.
