My job is to investigate other worlds!　~ A dull ex-salesman, but easily liked by girls of different

I've heard her thoughts. But I don't think I can make her happy.

I've always had an old man appeal. So I knew that one day, she would find out that I was a cripple and a loss. But this girl has been alone with her father all this time. Maybe that's why the appeal didn't seem to have much effect.

On top of that, I'm in a state of confusion, with no level or experience at all. But if I don't answer quickly, the situation is going to get worse. That's what my gut tells me.

When it comes to this situation, I have no choice but to be upfront and honestly tell you how I feel. I'm ashamed of this situation at my age, but I still want to put Midea's happiness first. It's too early to draw any conclusions for Midea, who hadn't met many people.

'I don't know if that's an answer that will satisfy Midia, but I'll be honest with you, too. I think that Midea is kind, lovely and beautiful. I love her and I love her. But I don't know how I feel about her. Will you understand so far?

Midia nodded for the time being, with anxiety left in her eyes.

''But in my country, Midia's age is underage. So if you need to watch over her, she is an object to be helped if you need to watch over her. It's considered immoral for a middle-aged man like me to seek her out as a love interest because she's selfish and doesn't think about the other person.

Is this stalling method of stalling already too tight for the quicksilver?

'Of course, it's up to Midea to fall in love with someone close to her age, right?

If you still want Midia to be happy. It's hard, but I'm going to meet a lot of people of the opposite s*x, and I'm going to give them the right to choose. I think it's my duty to do that.

"I'm not exactly sure what I'm feeling. I think I see her as a woman, not just as my daughter, my relative, my best friend and so on. I'm sorry for being an immoral, disgusting adult.

Oh, that was close... [Even as a woman] and managed to change from down to up. I can't stop cringing. Is it still dangerous to stall?　But if I tell her now, she might think I'm fine with it, instead of choosing Midia...

It was a cowardly act, taking advantage of Midia's loneliness and lack of encounters.

'Just. If you think of it as a love interest, a twenty year age difference is more than Midia's age. In Japan, it's not a crime, but ethically it's not a problem if you like each other. But there may be people who question your common sense....

We're going to go from a climb, to a steep drop, and then slow down to a gentle drop!　It's as severe as a bullet hell game!　But if she gets depressed, I'm sure she'll want to die, but that doesn't mean I'm going to let her get rid of her loneliness and meet a lot of people.

You can't afford to do that. If I were younger, if I'd told Midea that I loved her I'd have been in high spirits.　And yet, chance is cruel. I am the Goddess's chosen investigator. I am a law-abiding, law-abiding leader...

Slow descent to rapid vertical ascent!　Activate the emergency brake before the critical altitude is reached!　Oh, my goodness! My mind is changing too quickly, is this what youth is all about?

My goddess would be fine with saying that I should push her down or something, but I'll use the method now. And before I could calm down, Midea started to reply as well.

'If Ryota is young, he'll be very happy to float around... then it's just a matter of age?　There's no doubt that Ryota himself loves and cares for me enough to want to make me his girlfriend, right?

The younger you are the less likely you are to ignore morality, the better.

I'm an adult in Ares, okay?　That doesn't make sense at all!　Even your age can be deceiving!　If Ryota is accused of something, I'll cover for him with my full strength!

Oh my God, I'm so hot, I feel like my face is on fire.

I can't believe that she cares so much about me, but I can't help but give in to my own selfish greed. But I can't give in to that. Midea's happiness is also important to me. I'm confident that the sentiment is genuine.

You can't keep dragging your feet on this good girl. I'm going to change my mind. It's all very serious from here on out.

I know how I feel about her. So why don't you listen to my proposal?

Midia nodded a little uneasily, perhaps because my mood had changed a little.

'I'm not afraid of condemnation either, but I will obey the law. Also, I want Midia to meet a lot of people before she turns eighteen before she gets her answers. Otherwise, I can only assume that I've taken advantage of Midia's mind. In return, I will definitely wait!

'Will Ryota definitely wait for you?'

"I swear to you, goddess, I swear it. If you fail, you'll lose your life.

Midia was relieved for a moment and got into a position to listen.

'If Midia doesn't find someone she likes after careful consideration, as promised. I will ask her to marry me. How about these terms?　If it's agreed, I'll take Mr. Simon's place until he's eighteen. I think this will keep you from being alone.

It's a strange proposal, but I think it's about as close as we can get to agreeing on something.

Well, I think it will be a waste of 2 years. But is that a condition for Ryota to be accepted? Are you sure your father's replacement will do whatever it takes to get the job?　If you promise to do that, I'm willing to agree to it.

All right, I'll work for you. That's what I'm saying, Midya. Just don't feel like you're wasting your time until you're 18, okay?

It's hard for me to have a difficult personality. If I don't like it, why do I suggest consideration of another man... No, it's a low bargain. It's just barely enough to keep me from being a scumbag.　

"Yes, sir!　This concludes the contract between me and Ryota!　You'll definitely wait for me, okay?

I'm close to putting it off, but I can make some sense of it... I'm already heartbroken about this stuff. The next time this happens, I'll probably die.

There was a little break left after the appointment. At that time, Midia promptly requested to take over for her father. It seems that Simon-san lent him his back and was willing to back me up if I asked... It's a relief to be back to back in the open air only.

This promise. I found a serious flaw.

If Midia says it is, there is no evidence to deny it, even if it is a lie.
