Chapter 29 – I Like My Girlfriend Whom I’ve Threatened
Your girlfriend’s mother at the front gate, her father at the back gate.
That could mean only you’re stuck. How many boyfriends could stand this situation? Not one I’d assume.
The mother in front of me is beautiful and elegantly smiling. She doesn’t seem to have any thoughts like, “I would never allow someone like you to be my daughter’s boyfriend.”
Believing this atmosphere, the only problem would be my girlfriend’s father…
“Sorry because it’s so late. …My name is Aida Yuji. Erm… I-I’m not a suspicious person.”
When I turned around after saying that, Fujisaki’s father was there.
A middle-aged man in a suit. He’s just got home and he doesn’t look tired at all. He’s even taller than me.
He only glanced at me and then quickly turned his gaze away.
“What are you doing, Kotone? Hurry up and get inside the house.”
Oi, don’t ignore me!
This is the second time we’ve met. And this time he even said hello. It’s too cruel to just ignore me like that!
I was really indignant inside! My blood was boiling, and it felt like my other self was about to awaken. Should I show you my hidden dark personality? Huh?
“Dad, don’t ignore Yuji-senpai.”
Before I could even get the words out of my mind, Kotone-chan opened her mouth.
“What? Kotone, are you going to talk back to me?”
And Kotone-chan’s father was even more short-tempered than I was. Don’t use an irritated tone like that! You made Kotone-chan tremble.
Fathers are a big part of a child’s life.
I think I’ve grown up a certain way physically, but I’m reminded I’m still a child. My father gives me pocket money so I can go to maid cafés. I’m so grateful to my father.
That said, my father and Kotone-chan’s father are different. They are different beings, completely different people.
So even if there was an image in my mind of what a father should be like, it wouldn’t necessarily apply to everyone. In reality, I didn’t see Fujisaki-san as a father figure. Of course, since I’ve only had a few interactions with him, who am I to say anything.
“Kotone-chan is right. Ignoring people’s greetings, even though you’re a good adult, makes me doubt your common sense.”
“…Huh?”
I knew it, he’s quite scary.
Father Fujisaki is staring at me. Here I finally meet his eyes. At this point, I no longer feel like calling him ‘father’.
Kotone-chan told me a bit about her father. A lot of people compared Kotone-chan to her sister, but he was the one who did it the most.
He continued to make Kotone-chan feel inferior, even though he was supposed to be her father, the closest and most reliable person to her.
Why can’t you even do something like this? Ayane was able to do it easily. You’re a failure. Where did I go wrong in raising you? Is this the only result you can produce? I won’t expect anything from you anymore. At least, stop holding Ayane back…
I wonder how many words like these this person has said to Kotone-chan. She told me only a part of it… That alone was enough to put me off.
In one word: “No”.
It’s not just that he’s hurling words at Kotone-chan. It’s more like a threat.
He has threatened and intimidated Kotone-chan, making her shrink and feel uncomfortable in her current location, and causing her to want to escape somewhere far away.
It wasn’t even about protecting her daughter. That’s a far cry from the image of a father I had in my head.
“Nice to meet you… No, it’s not nice to meet you, but I’ll say hello to you again anyway.”
I won’t look away from Fujisaki’s father. I don’t care if he stares at me.
I took a deep breath and, making sure not to collapse, I spoke while tensing my stomach muscles…
“My name is Aida Yuji! I’m the boyfriend of your daughter, Fujisaki Kotone!”
I’m not gonna let him mishear me. I said it too loud for him to ignore.
There was a sound of someone gasping behind me. And I could hear a delighted “Oh my, oh my” voice. I wish Mother would just be quiet for a moment.
“…Kotone, is it true?”
Father Fujisaki turned to Kotone-chan instead of me.
“…Yes, it’s true. Yuji-senpai is my…b-boyfriend.”
She looked embarrassed, but she managed to say it. I was moved, but then Mother’s happy “Kyaa!” almost ruined the moment. I wish she would just keep quiet.
“What are you good at?”
Just when I thought he had returned his face to me, he asked me that question.
What is this, an interview? Self-promotion is not my strong point.
“Well, there’s nothing I can say I’m good at.”
I answered honestly, but at the same time I was laughed at as if I was making a fool of myself.
“I knew it. From the first impression, I thought you were an unimpressive man. Your face is also below average. I can’t believe that Kotone had such poor taste to date a guy like you, she really can’t judge men.”
It wasn’t like he was making fun of me. In fact, being so blatantly underestimated can even feel refreshing.
If I said I wasn’t angry, it would be a lie, but he’s the kind of father who even berates Kotone-chan without hesitation. If anything, I wonder if he’s toning it down because he’s dealing with someone who is not his own family. I don’t know though.
“I don’t know how great you are, but at least I love Kotone-chan more than you, I can protect her, and I can cherish her! For that one point, I’m better than you, her father! “
I stepped forward and said so.
After all, I was so frustrated that I reflexively said it out. What’s done is done, so I might as well stand by my words.
After a few seconds, his father’s face turned red.
“You!”
“Dear.”
As soon as Fujisaki’s father’s angry roar echoed, a gentle call stopped it.
The voice belonged to Kotone-chan’s mother. It was a really gentle voice, and easily stopped the angry Fujisaki father, even though she didn’t raise her voice.
“Any more of this and you’ll be disturbing the neighbors. Be quiet outside, okay?”
The way Mother talks is so s**y, it’s amazing.
I guess he was struck by her s*x appeal, because Fujisaki father sniffed and walked past me.
“……”
He walked straight past Kotone-chan and her mother into the house.
In the end, we couldn’t even have a proper conversation or exchange proper greetings. To be honest, the impression was so bad that it feels like our future interactions will be incredibly difficult…
As I stood there in a daze, Kotone-chan charged at me. My desire to look cool kicked in, and I stood my ground, refusing to fall.
“Y-Yuji-senpai!”
“Y-Yeah?”
Kotone-chan eyes are watery. S-She’s not crying, is she?
“I’m Yuji-senpai’s girlfriend!”
I wondered what she was going to say, but it was just a fact check.
Are witty lines required here? No, let’s be normal. I’ve been fact-checked, so all I have to state is the fact.
“Yeah. I’m Kotone-chan’s boyfriend.”
