Love must come after exorcising

"Mr. Tongxu, I still have a lot of things I want to ask you about the club. But it's a bit inconvenient now, so can I ask you on my phone later?"

With that said, he also took out his cell phone.

Kirisu Mafuyu was taken aback for a moment, but quickly understood what he meant, calmly took the phone from him and entered the phone number.

"See you tomorrow, teacher."

"Well, since you are outside, you should pay attention to keep in touch with your elders."

"I understand."

No matter how you look at it, it's just an ordinary teacher-student conversation... right?

△

Stepping out of the school gate, Kaede Asano carefully checked whether the phone was turned to silent.Due to the chaos in the workplace and the unique atmosphere culture of neon, when Kirisu Mafuyu showed hesitation, he noticed her worry.

Not to mention much help, just what I can do.But Tongsu Mafuyu is willing to give him trust, which makes Asano Kaede quite happy.

It's good to be trusted.

He looked at the time, and there was still a short distance away from the dinner node scheduled by Mr. Nakano, and he should be able to barely catch up by taking the tram.

The only thing that puzzled Asano Kaede was the reason why Nakano Maruo arranged the dinner.

This time, not only he and Mr. Nakano will be there, but even the five sisters will be there.Judging from the previous contact, they probably didn't know that they would have dinner with him, an outsider, tonight.

Is it simply acquaintance, or is there any other special reason?It's impossible to become a blind date inexplicably like Teacher Renai, right?After all, he is still underage, and there is nothing worthy of being invested as a son-in-law, right?

"..."

Realizing that his thoughts were gradually deviated from the channel, Kaede Asano hurriedly interrupted, saying that during this period of time, he was more or less intimidated by the enthusiastic "sales" of Teacher Renai, otherwise, in the past, no matter what he thought, he would not go in the direction of "blind date" move closer.

"Let's go and talk first."

Adhering to the principle of acting by ear and dealing with it calmly, Asano Kaede quickly adjusted his mentality, confirmed that there was no offense on his appearance, got on the tram, and rushed towards the hotel.

At the same time, the five Nakano sisters who had already arrived at the hotel box sat upright half nervously and half curiously.Curious because they met outsiders for dinner for the first time; nervous because their father's expression always gave people an inexplicable sense of pressure.

That face without any expression, and the stern black eyes that make people feel like an extreme boss just sitting there, no matter what, they can't make people relax, even his daughter.

Even Ichika, who usually smiles playfully, looks well-behaved at this moment; even Nino, who is usually assertive and confident, surprisingly becomes a qualified lady at this moment... If Asano Kaede can see this scene, what will happen to everyone? You probably think this is a world full of deception, right?

"Dad, do we know the boy you mentioned?"

In the tense waiting, even though getting along with his father was full of strangeness, Nakano Nino couldn't bear curiosity and asked tentatively.The others all pricked up their ears when they heard the words, and their similar pupils showed the same expectation and curiosity.

This scene made Nakano Maruo, who had a zombie face and stern eyes just now, a little uncomfortable, and he used a little force in his hand holding the teacup.

"know."

It was obviously a very ordinary conversation, and he was still chatting with his daughters, but his voice was still like a frozen lake in winter, so cold that it was unreasonable.Fortunately, the five sisters are used to it. They know that their father is a person who is cold on the outside and hot on the inside, who is not good at chatting with them and does not interfere too much in their lives. Otherwise, he would not have adopted them without hesitation after his mother passed away.

Speaking of which, when was the last time you saw your dad laughing?They suddenly remembered in their hearts that it seemed that the day before their mother passed away, there was no smile on his face anymore, the smile that only belonged to her mother had never appeared again.

Nakano Maruo didn't know the little theater in the hearts of his daughters, and responded indifferently as usual: "He is the son of a late friend of mine, and he is a second-year student at Akihisa High School."

"what……?"

The five sisters were all surprised.

The sophomore who knew them from the same school, whose elders in the family passed away, was a boy... Adding all these factors together, including the time when they transferred to Mingjiu High School, they knew very few boys.

Is it...

As if seeing the meaning in their eyes, Nakano Maruo continued to add expressionlessly: "No accident, he is in the same class as Wuyue-kun now."

"No way, it's him..." Nakano Nino clicked his lips in disbelief, last time he said that as long as it wasn't Kaede Asano, he could get along, who knew it was really him!

For the boys in the same class as May, this message alone is enough for them to know their identity!

Sure enough, after a while, there was a knock on the door of the box.After Nakano Maruo said "Please come in", Asano Kaede walked in calmly.

"Mr. Nakano, good evening, I'm sorry to keep you waiting." Temporarily ignoring the complex colors in the eyes of the five sisters, Kaede Asano apologized and bowed his head, and simply saluted Nakano Maruo.

"Asano-kun is very punctual, please take your seat."

Nakano Maruo said calmly, opened a seat next to him and motioned for Asano Kaede to sit down.His cold face remained as cold as ever, making it difficult to see any slight changes in his mood.

Asano Kaede didn't care, it's better to say that his expression is very similar to Nakano Maruo... At least the five sisters felt the same, and they couldn't see any emotional fluctuations.The difference is that Dad feels alienated and indifferent, while Asano Kaede is as flat as a lake.

The latter can at least be able to cause waves due to the wind and warmth due to the sun.

——It should be the second meeting, right?

The same thought popped up in their hearts, and they looked at each other.For Nakano Maruo, Asano Kaede is not as simple as the son of an old friend. After all, no father would be at ease with a boy who is close to his youngest daughter; on Asano Kaede's side, he looks more from Teacher Rena, We must know that not everyone can raise non-personal daughters or even provide good living conditions, let alone five.

In the eyes of some people, Nakano Maruo is a big grievance and a panxia.If some people have a dark heart, they may have fantasized about father's marriage, ghost father and other plots that do not conform to the mainstream values ​​of society and are full of dark human nature.

During the brief silence, the two looked at each other flatly or indifferently, and their expressions were calm, but it hurt the five sisters sitting on the side—it was like their parents were in a cold war, and they stayed on the side to prepare for the storm child.

The oppressive atmosphere did not fade away until the waiter knocked on the door and came in and served the dishes.

"Asano-san...?"

"Youye-san, if you have something to say, please tell me."

The five sisters stared at each other tacitly, the silly green hair band on the top of Yotsuba's head trembled cleverly, and a pair of blue eyes were like a kitten of two or three months old, who knew everything around her clearly. Curious and inquiring.

Asano Kaede leaned back a little, he was a bit overwhelmed by the girl's cute expression of "I'm very curious, I want to know very much".

"Hmm~~~ I feel like Asano-san isn't very surprised. Did he know before that he was going to have dinner with us?"

On the other side, after the atmosphere calmed down, Nakano Nino finally changed into his usual appearance. He held his cheek with his right hand and said depressedly: "I was quite looking forward to who the boy my father introduced would be. I didn't expect it to be you. Really." It makes people lose confidence in life all of a sudden.”

"Then your life is really monotonous." Asano Kaede retorted unhurriedly, and then changed into a gentle tone, "When I visited last time, I more or less guessed the relationship between you and Mr. Nakano , so not too surprised."

"Speaking of business, is there anything Mr. Nakano wants to tell me about this dinner?"

"I'm not a guardian, but I don't care about the life of the son of an old friend. From the perspective of personal relationship with your father, it's not justified."

Nakano Maruo is a loving person, which can be seen from his willingness to raise the five sisters.

"Besides, Asano-kun privately tutors May-kun in his studies. As a father, I have no reason not to ask."

"Student May pays, and I contribute. This is an ordinary teaching transaction. Mr. Nakano can rest assured that I will make Student May's grades improve as he wishes."

"I am very aware of Asano-kun's ability. During the call with the teachers in the class, they also praised your ability and attitude."

He said words of praise, but his tone was still cold, and his eyes were serious and stern.

But Asano Kaede was taken aback, he really never thought that Nakano Maruo would go to school to investigate his academic performance...Does he care about his daughter, and investigate the character of everyone who comes into contact with his daughter?

There is nothing to be angry about, but if it were him, he would do similar things if he had the ability.

The two people who have reached an agreement, even though they know what the other is thinking in their hearts, they both have a correct posture on the surface... Except for the scene being too calm and flat, there is nothing unpleasant about it.

During dinner time, he and Nakano Maruo were basically chatting, and the five sisters were listening.

"What do you think about the future, Asano-kun?"

"I can't think of it at the moment."

The unexpected answer, whether it is the five sisters or Nakano Maruo, from Asano Kaede's past conversations, he feels that he is someone who has already planned the future.

"There are too many things I want to do, too many scenery to see..." Asano Kaede looked normal, "The road of life is neither long nor short. When talking about the future now, what I think about the most is probably paying off debts. As for others, For example, dreams, I...haven't yet."

"You don't have to worry about debts, asking about your future is not urging."

"I see."

He is not lying, nor is he hypocritical.

In his past life, he lived for learning, and just the knowledge in books could keep him contentedly staying in his room. But after experiencing life and death and witnessing life and death, he felt that one's life should not be trapped in books. .

But the world is vast, where can we find our dreams?

At least Asano Kaede can't dream of a dream worth fighting for right now.

"Has Asano-kun ever considered studying medicine?" Nakano Maruo asked abruptly.

Asano Kaede: "..."

Where did you seem to have seen this scene?

Volume 104: Chapter 97 Chapter [-] Still persuading people to study medicine, but in reverse

"What is medicine? For the time being, I have no idea of ​​studying medicine. Rather, it is a profession that is quite unfamiliar to me. My understanding of medicine is limited to limited names of diseases and medicines."

Asano Feng pondered for a while, and after giving the answer, he showed a puzzled expression: "You ask me this, because you hope that I will study medicine in the future, and more precisely, I will be able to work in your hospital?"

"No."

Here is the unexpected answer.

Nakano Maruo said expressionlessly: "My hospital needs a more capable deputy. If Asano-kun is willing to study medicine, I can do my best to cultivate your professional skills."

"..."

For a moment, Asano Kaede felt that Nakano Maruo might have been kicked in the head by a donkey, and no matter how bad it was, he had a high fever and a hangover last night, otherwise how could he say such unreasonable words.

Not to mention him, even the five sisters stopped eating, as if pressing the pause button, and the whole world fell into an eerie silence.

"Deputy? I don't understand why you have such an idea, Mr. Nakano...Let's not talk about what benefits this can bring to you, or what points I have that are worthy of your cultivation, but if it is your daughters, teach them Isn't it better?"

Said to be a deputy, but Asano Feng understood that his words contained a greater amount of information-to cultivate a deputy dean with more outstanding abilities?Maybe it will be a strong candidate for the next president... Although the hospital is all about Nakano Maruo, or is he thinking about his daughters?

After all, the family business needs a trustworthy person to take care of it.As for the candidate, Asano Kaede, who is similar in age to the five sisters, is the son of an old friend and is still a high school student, is more trustworthy and more valuable to cultivate. The above is just Asano Kaede's rough guess, maybe Nakano Maruo just wants to give Does he offer a feasible way out?

After a brief silence, Nakano Maruo cut the steak methodically, his tone of voice was still as cold as a piece of steel.

"... Asano-kun, who among them do you think can study medicine well?"

"Based on their current abilities, I don't think any of them can achieve qualified results in medical majors."

Asano Kaede told the truth, and the five sisters were not only not angry, but also showed the expression that it was true, not surprised at all, and it was reasonable that they had already accepted their fate as idiots!

A certain father might want to reflect on where his educational policy went wrong, allowing his daughters to become idiots.

"You are very straightforward, and you are very suitable to be a doctor in terms of attitude." Nakano Maruo added blankly, "Of course this is just a choice for you. If you don't want to study medicine or fail to meet my requirements in terms of medical skills, I'll find another way for you."

"..."

Asano Kaede was silent for a moment, and then said calmly: "If you don't consider other factors, this is a pretty good choice."

"Since you are trying your best to cultivate my medical ability, let's put it another way, if I major in medicine, you will be responsible for all my tuition fees and living expenses... provided that I can pass the exam you designated. University."

Ignoring the five sisters' strange expressions of "I can still understand it this way", he looked straight into Nakano Maruo's eyes and continued: "But to put it another way, my future life is likely to be related to you and the Nakano family. It gets more involved...Even though I understand that you will not use debts to force me to choose, but that life that seems to be planned and customized, just like a written program, is still not what I want. "

"Although I don't have any goals or dreams at all now, please be clear about my rejection."

There was no fierce rebuttal, no noisy atmosphere, whether it was Asano Kaede or Nakano Maruo, the breath of the two was very calm from the beginning to the end.But the more this is the case, the more it feels like the prelude to a storm.

It's a pity that the truth is... they think too much.

"An expected answer."

I can't see any redundant expressions, it's like suffering from emotional expression disorder, and it's hard for people to guess what's in their hearts.

Nakano Maruo responded lightly, without any ups and downs in tone, and his eyes fell on Kaede Asano.

It's like remembering.

"You, like him, never choose the established path. I respect your choice and admit that your ideas are not wrong. A mediocre person with no ability will give the decision-making power of life to others, and a person who begs to be raised in captivity will Giving up the freedom to decide the future... But the right choice does not mean good, and being arranged by others is not necessarily bad, I believe there is no need to explain too much to you."

Asano Kaede couldn't help frowning, but he had to agree with him.Individual differences create a variety of choices, and each choice represents a different life... Isn't it pride and arrogance to use one's own experience to measure and evaluate other people's choices?

"Compared to me, your daughter is more worthy of your cultivation. Their potential may have been buried from the beginning to the end."

"Eh--?!"

The five sisters, who thought they were outsiders and watched the play with nervousness and anticipation, were all stunned by Asano Kaede's abrupt words, and then similar exclamations sounded.

Even Nakano Maruo showed an unexpected expression for the first time, and his eyes narrowed slightly.

"Speak directly, Asano-kun."

"My acquaintance with Nakano-san and the others is still shallow, and May-student communicates the most." With a calm face, Asano Kaede slowly stated: "From the analysis of personality, May-student is an extremely serious and responsible person... …Student May, you don’t need to feel shy or inferior, I believe that both your family members and classmates and teachers in the class will recognize this.”

"That's right, Asano-kun is right."

It was rare for the atmosphere to relax, Yihua smiled and looked at May, who was blushing and biting her straw with her head down, making a purring sound like a kitten, her sweet and melodious voice did not stop there.
