Mr. Nanakai called this man in front of him his father. He is a man with a large, muscular body and rude resemblance to Mr. Seven Seas.

The impression I saw was that I was a professional wrestler.

"Nanami... I'll ask you again... who's your boy?

Back to back with an anger-filled expression, the voice color was very gentle. And it's ikebo.

Maybe he's just someone who's scared of his face.

"... my... or... boyfriend..."

"!! Huh... well... it's too late for the night. What are you talking about... let's talk at home"

Ms. Qihai shrugged in a fine voice as if she had noticed. Your father's reaction to it is paler than I thought, although I gave him a look of surprise for a moment.

I guess I'll be talking about my family later... nothing more I can say...

"... I'm sorry I pulled your daughter off so late. I pulled her off... so don't get too mad at her."

All you can do is say an apology and at least make sure that Mr. Seven Seas is not offended at all.

Behind you, Mr. Seven Seas said, "No, I did! I shouted," but I shook my head to the side of it to rest. This was my carelessness and my desire to be with Mr. Nanakai.

Try being a parent...... I can't help but be anxious to say that my belated daughter is with a stranger man.

She grips my clothes from behind. [M] I smile back at her. [M]

My role has been so far...... I was just about to go home and the unexpected words came out of your father.

"It's late at night... I'll drive you home. So, boyfriend... I want you to talk to me at home too"

... just an invitation to the house... and it's from her father. I got an invitation to the house from your father before her.

Huh? Why? Aren't we talking about family from here?

Honestly, I'd like to keep you away from me because I'm not ready for my heart... Mr. Seven Seas behind me whines my name in a small voice.

Small, fine, weak… a voice full of anxiety.

Yeah, my stomach's set.

"Okay. Sweet for your words. Ah... I'm late, I'm going out with Mr. Nanakai, I'm going to say Shinji Tsurumi."

"I am Harukichiro Ibarato, father of the Seven Seas. Nice to meet you, curtain dancer..."

Mr. Harukichiro offered his left hand and asked me to shake his hand.... Did the handshake on your left hand mean hostility?... Apparently I haven't gotten the recognition yet.

Well, if you're dealing with a guy who used to take his daughter around to this hour... I respond to that handshake.

"Well, shall we go into the house? Under the cold sky, you'll catch a cold"

We follow Mr. Harukichiro as prompted. In that short time to the house... Nanakai-san was shivering about her anxiety, so I shake her hand.

I had a little hesitation holding hands with her in front of your father on the boulder, but it would be good while I turned my back.

Nanakai-san looks at me surprised, and I smile and whisper to reassure her.

"It's okay, I'm on it."

Her tremors stopped and she was grinning in that face.

Yeah, that's my favorite smile.... I don't have the guts to say I love it directly though.

"I didn't know the Seven Seas would... hold hands with a boy..."

He's shaking his neck left or right while holding his head down... does this guy even have eyes on his back? However, although the words are emotional, anger is a word that doesn't make you feel.

After all, I thought you'd be so angry at me for holding hands, what do you mean?

And we go into her house.

I was on the doorstep... with one woman and one girl.

"Oh, there you are. Ugh, I can't believe the Seven Seas brought a boy."

"That's your sister's boyfriend? Nah, that doesn't feel painful...... but, well, isn't it bad? Doesn't look abusive and... doesn't it look good on your sister?

A woman with her eyes narrowed and a soft grin...... a beauty who looks just like Ms. Nanakai is probably Ms. Nanakai's mother. Is this what Nanakai-san looks like when she grows up?

Next door is a girl about a middle school student with both hands on her hips...... is that your sister? This one is similar to Mr. Seven Seas, but his eyes are only slightly connected. But he looked at his own sister with a smile like he saw something smiling.

"Why are we both...?

Mr. Nanakai gives a bewildered look to the two who waited on his doorstep, but the two look at each other as if such Mr. Nanakai were inexplicable, and sigh heavily.

The trick was two melons for both of us, Mr. Seven Seas.

"Sister, are you serious? Usually, when you go out with Hatsumi and Ayumi, you hardly wear makeup, so prepare such a discovery..."

"Hey, and... there's one more lunchbox at some point, and it's sneaky, but I'm strangely happy to make lunch... you can't tell me not to notice"

Your sister shook her neck to the left and right, and your mother was tilting her neck with her hands on her cheeks.

...... Mr. Seven Seas. He seemed to be hiding it, but he seemed to find out...?

Nanakai-san hides behind me and turns her face bright red, but she can't hold hands in front of her family on a boulder, and I'm just a dick too.

The two women smile at us like that.

"It's the front door, let's keep that about it. Both of you, shall we talk in the living room? Mother, get me some tea."

It was Harukichiro who helped us in trouble. We will be taken straight to the living room.

Your sister just said, "I'm not working hard, sister," with a flickering wave of her hand, and went back to her room.

The goal is to see my sister's boyfriend at a glance... you would say she's not interested after the goal has been achieved. I can also say I avoided getting into trouble.

We'll sit across from each other in the living room where they let us go. Me and Mr. Nanakai are next door, and Mr. Harukichiro and his mother are next door.

Harukichiro is right in front of me... but what he's looking at is Mr. Seven Seas.

"Seven Seas... I'm just a little angry... you know what that is?

His face was harsh, his tone gentle... he was a terribly gaping person, but he still seemed angry... Mr. Nanakai uneasy said his thoughts.

"... that my boyfriend... could... because he kept quiet?

"No... well, I don't have anything to think of as a father... but I think it would be a great pleasure in itself"

Pleasant... my heart is a little lighter for what I've been told.

"Well... what..."

"That's... against what the Seven Seas lied about."

Shh.

The upset of Mr. Nanakai next door is conveyed to me. [M] And that word, it stabs me, too.

Perhaps the lies that Harukichiro said are different from the lies that we think... but he doesn't know that. In fact, the real reason why Nanakai and I were upset is different.

"It's up to each person to feel ashamed of himself... so I won't deny you the means to say it's deceptive at all. But the Seven Seas lied... they were at their boyfriend's house, weren't they?

"Ugh... yeah..."

I have eyes for Mr. Nanakai, who looks at Chirali and me on the side.

She also contacted Audio Changer when she was at my house... I'm sure Audio Changer would have matched her back...

It's a development that is often also a comic strip or something... but if you had found out in the first place, you wouldn't have a word of mouth or anything... it just got me worried about my parents.

"I would have acquiesced if it was about a date... but a man's house at night... if I were to go to my boyfriend's house... I would have liked you to say that properly. Was the other parent at home?

"... I wasn't there... so... I wanted to make you dinner for Yangshin..."

To that one word...... Harukichiro's temples pick up just a little. But he remained calm. That's a lot of reason.

"... she's going to her boyfriend's house where her parents are absent... I may have had difficulty telling you... but I wanted you to be honest... did you think they'd disagree?

Nanakai-san nodded silently at Harukichiro's words.

Even I didn't stop Mr. Seven Seas from lying because I thought he was going to disagree, so that's the same crime. I can tell you that I made her lie to her parents.

"Well, yeah... I wouldn't deny that possibility... still wanted me to be honest with you as a parent, this could be my parent's ego..."

Harukichiro laid his eyes down there and then looked at me again.

"But the Seven Seas are the ones who make lunch so every day... happily... Besides, you seem like a very good young man, as I imagined, when I saw you send me all this way at this hour. If I'd known him from day to day, I wouldn't have disagreed if I'd gone out to cook dinner."

Lightly, but with a smile, Harukichiro appreciated me. I'm scared to smile, but I'm a little upset.

"... well... if this was supposed to be a stay... I don't know what I would have done with you"

But the moment Harukichiro finished saying the words, my whole body trembled.

"You... calm down..."

"Oh, Mother. I'm sorry. I just imagined it was going to upset me. You shouldn't."

For a moment... Something really different from anger struck me hard in Harukichiro's eyes. My whole body trembled unintentionally... is this what... is it called intent to kill?

My spine freezes to the first emotion I've ever had in my everyday life. There's something really chilly about it...

If someone like this professional wrestler attacked me... I wouldn't have made it.

I have a hobby for muscle tresses but mine is a hobby level... because this guy sees... he has muscles to fight.

"Seven Seas, who didn't like boys, started socializing with men and women... I may have had difficulty telling you, but I've never been happier. I wanted you to tell me. Well, I'm ashamed to report it to my parents... I know how you feel."

"Because... because your father didn't say it!!"

So for the first time, Mr. Seven Seas absurds his voice. The first time I see her, she looks like she's upset, and the next door I eat. [M]

I've never seen her like that, always smiling, sniffing at me, occasionally blowing herself up, and being adorable. My chest hurts on her sad face, too.

Harukichiro is also the first person to see Nanakai looking like that...... at first I was surprised, but I was trying to hear the rest of her words in silence.

"Your father... because your father says weird things... I couldn't tell you I was dating Yangshin..."

"Seven Seas...... calm down...... sorry, I don't remember mentioning anything in particular about the seven seas man and woman socializing...... can you tell me what you're talking about?

Harukichiro with a puzzled look and Nanakai's mother watching it calmly...... her gaze was only swimming a little. Perhaps your parents have never seen Mr. Seven Seas like this before.

It was an unexpected reason for me.

I knew she hadn't revealed it to her parents because this was a confession by the punitive game... but the reason for this was strict ichiro.

In a family with such good parents...... what the hell does that mean?

My doubts were resolved with Mr. Nanakai's next cry. She stands up and yells at Mr. Harukichiro.

"Your father said that if you were my boyfriend, you wouldn't admit you weren't stronger than your father... you said before when you were drinking...!! Because Yangshin can't beat your father... that's why I kept my mouth shut..."

... Huh? Can't you be allowed to socialize with Mr. Seven Seas without beating this guy?

At the same time I wonder if there really was such a comic book story... imagine the situation where I have to fight him and despair.

... Sure, then we'll keep it to ourselves... there's no way I can tell you. Punishment games are even more difficult.

But I... if it's for Mr. Seven Seas... I think I can work hard. If you can try as many times as you want, just keep going until you win. And have them admit it. So determined.

From the scream of Mr. Seven Seas, a few seconds or so of silence dominated the place. Mr. Qihai stood up and shouted. The influence or he was breathing on his shoulders.

I was impulsive, to calm her down... to stand up in the same way... and when I realized I was holding her. I was comforting her, also forgetting that it was in front of your parents.

I am surprised by the action myself.

"It's all right, Mr. Seven Seas... if that's the condition... I'll try your father as many times as I can... I told you, right? You're not gonna let me go, are you?

"Yangxin... Ugh... yeah... thanks..."

Comforting Mr. Seven Seas in tears... your mother looked at me more intrigued as she said "Oh".

Shit... I forgot I was in front of your parents... I was in a hurry. When I looked at Harukichiro... he had his arms around him and tilted his neck... Huh? Why are you leaning?

"Hey... Seven Seas... I'm sorry... I'm really sorry..."

Kind of a bad tooth cut. That's one thing... I just had a bad feeling about it. I have a very bad feeling that the assumptions that Nanakai was saying will be flipped. And that kind of hunch often hits me.

Is it strange how Harukichiro reacts, and Nanakai, who sat there, is also tilting his neck? Ironically, their neck tilting postures were both very similar.

Then Mr. Harukichiro... opened his mouth with a look of sorry

"I... did you say that? I don't remember at all..."

Nanakai-san and I were both... and Nanakai-san's mother, who was lying beside her, had her eyes on one of those words.
