Katsuko-nee said.
I guess people have levels of worries. If it’s insoluble without your parents, but you can’t talk about it with them. You can tell your teacher but not your parents Like, you can tell your sibling or a close friend, something like that! But, in our family, that level is ambiguous
We’re not a real family.
We don’t have parents either.
Yo-chan’s the one tying up this whole relationship, and so it has to be a spiderweb, or else, the connection between women becomes weak
Yeah, someone told me that.
A spider web.
But.the closest one becomes a friend one can consult with, no matter how embarrassing it is Indeed, I think that is the most essential thread
If you can’t discuss it with Minaho-neesan, the parent figure of the family, then talk with those of the same age.
Oh, from now on.
I think that everyone can follow up, no matter what happens to Megu.
If Megu-chan’s okay, then the other one should be okay to Yeah, Ai’s.
As soon as I said that, Nei made a Huh? face.
Huh? Ai-chan? Yeah, isn’t it AI?
I said. Then Luna laughed.
Nii-san, he’s been misunderstanding since earlier
Me?
Ai-chan is okay now, isn’t she? I mean, she already received a lot of love from Yo-chan Indeed. I think that Ai-san has settled down since noon
Katsuko-nee too?
She can speak out her thoughts in front of everyone already. There’s no need to worry about her, is there?
Well, yeah, but.
Then, who were you worried about, Katsuko-nee?
I asked.
Edie-chan
Edie?
Did she make friends with everyone now?
Well.
That girl’s too smart that she can make connections with the girls, right? Like, Mitchan’s younger. Besides, there’s also Michi-san’s master, Misuzu-san
I see. Edie.
She took care of the younger children in the assassination cult, and that’s why she’s caring.
She gets along with Michi. Edie can listen to Michi’s problems, but not the other way around.
Edie needs someone of the same age that she can have a hearto-heart talk.
Edie’s okay now too. She talked about her worries to everyone
She showed her weakness to have Megu open up.
She’ll never speak like that to Michi, a younger girl.
Not with the elders either.
That was a turning point for Edie.
I’m sure that Edie will change.
I think that they’ll continue to get along
Us of the same age will get along.
I think that’s great.
Katsuko-nee smiled happily.
Chapter 840. High Life Displeased King
So, what happened?
Jii-chan asked me.
I’m in the reading room in the Kouzuki mansion.
The two of us are having a conversation.
Yeah, Ai’s father came back home at 8pm, just as scheduled He must be surprised? Well, yeah. It’s his first time seeing Ai’s friends in school at their home
Back then, Makoto-san dotes too much on Ai.
The house is a world for the mother-daughter, and so it didn’t have an atmosphere where she could invite friends.
The father knew Yukino, and so he’s surprised that Yukino’s in his house. But, he didn’t seem to find it odd since Yukino and Ai attend the same school And what about Katsuko-kun and the Takakura miss? Katsuko-nee’s named as Makoto-san’s friend in the cultural center. Koyomi-chan and Luna-chan are Katsuko-nee’s sisters. It’s a bit forced, but Luna-chan and Koyomi-chan. Used their Miko power to manipulate him?
Jii-chan laughed.
Well, yeah. But they only made him stop the suspicions
I feel sorry for Ai’s father, but.
In the end, we needed the power of the two to have a calm conversation.
Keeping their emotions in check.
If they get too agitated, then they’re forced to calm down.
Then, everyone ate dinner like we’re having a home party. Ai-san’s father was happy. After all, it’s a meal Ai cooked
It seems like that family never had a meal with all the members together.
Ai and Makoto-san eat together all the time.
The father eats what’s prepared in advance alone.
Ya-chan and Edie brightened up the night, Luna and Koyomi-chan took care of their needs. Ai’s father was interested in America, and so he talked to Edie a lot
We had dinner with no negative mood.
Then?
Jii-chan looked at me.
After the meal, Ai talked about wanting to enter the bread course to her father
Ai’s explanation was hard to understand, so I thought I had to follow up, but.
The father acknowledged it right away, didn’t he?
Jii-chan said, laughing.
He did, but why? When he realizes that you came with his daughter to support her, then he’ll accept whatever the daughter tells him. Furthermore, it’s not just one or two people. Multiple people came just for her daughter
Megu, Nei, Edie, Yukino, and me.
Then, if we didn’t show up, would the development be different?
I asked. Jii-chan.
For male parents, they choose the path for their boy, but for their girl, they have a lighter attitude, going with You can do whatever you want
I see.
Above all, the father must’ve been happy that the daughter came to him to discuss it. Furthermore, the daughter waited for him to return home to tell him about it Yeah That courtesy must’ve made the father willingly give his consent
For a father and daughter, his relationship with Ai is fragile.
It must be the first time Ai faced her father like that.
Furthermore, the daughter made a sincere discussion with her father in front of us.
As usual, Ai takes slow to speak, and she expresses the details poorly. It was hard to figure out what she’s trying to say, but, Ai did show that she’s serious about wanting to become better at making pastries and that she wants to change herself using that opportunity
Therefore, Ai’s father understood it.
Also, Makoto-san talked about leaving the house and entering a job in the outside world.
Influenced by Ai’s enthusiasm, Makoto-san also did her best at talking with a blushing face.
Ai’s father was more surprised with Makoto-san’s talk
Since marrying, his wife hardly went outside the house.
Then, Katsuko-nee followed up, and then, they talked about working partime on Nagisa’s flower shop. Then they showed the site for Nagisa’s shop
Fortunately, Nagisa’s shop got a good reputation on the internet.
He said that he doesn’t mind as long as it’s not some weird shop and that she doesn’t overwork herself
Ai and Makoto-san got their permission the right way.
Then, after they were done talking, we returned back to the mansion
Leaving Ai and Makoto-san with the father.
Then, after weekends, when the father heads back to Sendai for work, Ai will return to our mansion
Jii-chan’s listening to my story like he’s having fun.
In the end, the three had time to talk at ease after we returned home. Then.
Do I tell Jii-chan about it?
Yeah, I should.
Ai already belongs to my family.
Makoto-san confessed that Ai’s not his daughter, and apologized on her knees Oh. But, the husband knew that Ai’s not his daughter since before I thought so. Humans aren’t that dense Makoto-san apologizes in tears. Ai also started crying. She started talking about divorcing and paying for the damages, but. The guy didn’t ask for it, did he? Yeah. Ai’s father.
Err.
Ai’s father was homosexual I see His boyfriend is that guy he goes mountain climbing with during his student days I see Yeah, he doesn’t love women. But, he couldn’t refuse the marriage talks of his boss’ daughter That happens That’s right. Then, he got married.
