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.
And he had sex with Makoto-san, but only during the wedding night.
And with his circumstances, he’s never dissatisfied with his married life with Makoto-san. He doesn’t mind that Ai isn’t his daughter
Instead, he thinks that having a child saves his face for his boss and his parents.
After all, he’s a homo, and so he’s given up on having a child from the start. He’s rather happy that he has a cute daughter, like Ai
Homosexual couples can’t adopt a child in Japan.
And so, he asked not to worry about it and continue to stay as a family I see.
Jii-chan nods.
However, if Makoto-san were to find a man she likes, he asked to have her wait until he retires. Indeed. Getting divorced must be damaging to his career in the company? Or should I say that becoming an unmarried man comes with a lot of burdens and jobs in the company. Like, moving abroad, such as Africa or the Middle East Really? If you have a wife and child, then you won’t be sent to harsh locations
Therefore, he wants to continue the disguise as a married couple.
But, well, I guess there’s that.
It’s outside my reasoning to not be concerned about the incapability of creating descendants, however, people like them exist. The world sure is wide
Jii-chan said.
No, I think that is probably conventional. If you can have a daughter take care of your grave, even if you’re not connected by blood What do you mean? In Japan, the value of a family doesn’t mean that they have to be related by blood. Even if it’s not your real child, as long as they hold a memorial service for your grave, then that’s good enough Jii-chan said. In Japan, it’s a sin to not have anyone visit the memorial service of an ancestor. Think of the Records of Ancient Matters. The forecast for pestilence made it reasonable that nobody comes for the memorial service. Then, they hurriedly searched for descendants to hold a memorial service, when an epidemic occurs I see Kabuki still has that thought. The Danjuurou house isn’t connected to the Edo period Danjuurou house by blood Wait, really? However, they hand over the craft of the Danjuurou house to those who hold memorial service to the ancestors. That’s how they inherit the family
I think about the Yoshida house.
I’m no longer a Yoshida in the paper.
My father and mother would die someday.
Who would be the one to hold the funeral and visit their gravestones?
I.
I belong to Kuromori now.
Minaho-neesan can’t bear a child anymore.
I need to protect the gravesite of the Kuromori house.
I don’t have time to think about Yoshida house.
But.
I wonder about Grandma’s gravesite?
I never visited it.
And then, there are no problems with that girl and her family, is there?
Jii-chan said. I got pulled back to reality.
Ah, yeah. I don’t think there are any problems. Ai and Makoto-san stay in the mansion most of the time. They come home during weekends, and they’ll meet the father’s boyfriend. I see. I’ll have them profiled just in case
Jii-chan said.
I don’t know if it can cause a problem but, I would rather not have a homo couple get in the fight and spread the fire to Misuzu or Ruriko
Right, Kouzuki house has too much influence.
Staying in the mansion means that she’ll get familiar with Misuzu and the girls.
There is the possibility of Ai’s father causing some ridiculous scandal.
