"....."
At this ti, inside Yutsuki's house, Itsuka Shido sat on the sofa in the living room, feeling sowhat restless.
And opposite Shido, Yutsuki's father, a middle-aged man who looked to be in his thirties, scanned Itsuka Shido with extrely terrifying eyes.
More specifically, it should be described as a "how should I dispose of this guy later" kind of look. The undisguised killing intent radiating from the other party caused cold sweat to cover the inside of Shido's school uniform.
An oppressive sense of silence filled the space, making Shido unconsciously gulp with a dry mouth.
However, leaving a good impression on the other party is very important. Shido still gathered his courage to break this silence.
"H-Hello. I am Itsuka Shido."
"...Itsuka Shido."
Hearing Shido's words, Yutsuki's father, who had been silent all this ti, finally reacted.
"I hear you are currently dating my daughter, is that right?"
"Y-Yes."
"I see... Then it can't be helped."
Yutsuki's father looked at the sowhat nervous boy in front of him and nodded as if understanding. Just when Shido was about to sigh in relief in his heart, Yutsuki's father slowly pulled out a katana from under the sofa cushion.
"How dare you lay your hands on my cute daughter! Die for !"
"It really is this kind of developnt!?"
Before Shido could complain about what exactly the intention was behind putting such a dangerous item under the sofa, the blade flashing with cold light swung towards Shido's face. Shido hurriedly did a side roll to dodge the slash.
Yutsuki's father didn't stop after missing the swing. Instead, he lifted the sword and furiously swung it at Shido.
"Don't run, you brat! Obediently beco a soul claid by the blade of this demon sword—Samidare!"
"It'd be weird for anyone not to run at a ti like this! Also, isn't that a sword ant for swatting annoying flies!? What's with this super chunibyou naming?"
"I nad it, do you have a problem with that, boy?!"
"Absolutely not, Father in law!"
"Shut up! Who is your Father in law!"
Subsequently, Shido fled frantically around the living room under the pursuit of Yutsuki's father.
Before he knew it, Shido was forced into a dead corner. Turning his head stiffly, looking at Yutsuki's father slowly approaching like an evil rakshasa demon, Shido couldn't help but tremble in fear.
"Nowhere left to run—Divine Punishnt!"
I'm going to die! Shido closed his eyes tightly and thought sorrowfully.
—Smack, clatter!
A strange sound similar to a blunt object hitting sothing rang out. Shido nervously opened his eyes. Yutsuki's father, who a mont ago was swinging his sword at him like a demon, had been knocked out on the ground by a young woman in her early twenties, who held a frying pan and looked sowhat similar to Yutsuki.
"Oh my~ Sorry about that. Shido-kun, were you scared?"
"Yes... no problem. A..."
"A?"
Yutsuki's mother narrowed her eyes slightly, showing a very friendly smile.
"...Onee-san (Big sister)."
"Ara ara~ Shido-kun really knows how to talk."
Yutsuki's mother looked very happy and waved her hand.
"Speaking of which, really, Darling. Didn't you promise you wouldn't do anything reckless and would just have a normal conversation with Shido-kun?"
"..."
Yutsuki's mother sighed softly with so helplessness. Grabbing the collar of Yutsuki's father, who was playing dead on the floor, with one hand, she slowly dragged him out of the living room.
I sohow feel like Yutsuki's family mbers are all very unique. Shido thought, sweating sowhat.
Before leaving, Yutsuki's mother turned her head and said friendlily to Shido.
"Sorry about that, Shido-kun. Darling and I have so things to talk about. Please wait a mont, feel free to eat the candy on the table."
"Yes..."
After barely maintaining a smile and answering, Shido collapsed limply onto the sofa.
After Yutsuki's parents left, Yutsuki ca to Shido's side carrying tea.
"Good work~ How was it, Shido? How does it feel after eting my father?"
"For a split second, I felt like my life flashed before my eyes. It seems before I prepare my speech, I should write a will first."
Hearing Shido's exaggerated impression, Yutsuki couldn't help but laugh "Pfft".
"Don't worry. This is just a replica sword sold at an ani convention. It's unsharpened, it absolutely can't cut anyone to death."
"Eh?"
Yutsuki picked up the so-called demon sword Samidare lying on the ground, showed it to Shido, and slash at her own arm twice. Not a single scratch. This made Shido sowhat dumbfounded.
"Well, he probably just wanted to scare you off. If father really intended to cut you with a sword, mother and I would have locked him in his room long ago."
Putting it that way makes a lot of sense...
"Even so, Uncle's aura back then really felt like he was going to kill . Was I hated?"
"Not at all. Four parts were probably acting, after all, he's quite skilled at this kind of thing. Another five parts were probably the unwillingness and jealousy of feeling his daughter is being taken away. Father might look strict, but he's actually quite childish."
The acting part is surprisingly high. Recalling the murderous look on Yutsuki's father's face just now, even if she said ninety percent of it was due to the latter reason, Shido wouldn't feel surprised.
"What's the remaining one part?"
Yutsuki shook her head, contrary to Shido's expectation.
"Well... it seems seeing you reminded him of so things from the past. According to mother, you and my father when he was young look a bit alike."
"A bit alike... what exactly do you an by that?"
The impression Yutsuki's father gave him was nothing more than being strict and quite doting on his daughter. Strictness definitely had nothing to do with Shido, and Shido certainly didn't know what it felt like to have a daughter. Shido scratched his head in confusion.
"Mhm... you both look very easy to bully?"
"Isn't that similarity a bit too cruel?!"
To the girl's playful answer, Shido had a face of not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
"There, there~ Don't mind these details. Drink so tea and calm down."
Shido did feel a bit thirsty. He took the tea Yutsuki handed over and took a sip. A refreshing fragrance that perated the heart and spleen naturally relaxed Shido's expression.
"This tea is delicious!"
A proud smile appeared on Yutsuki's face.
"Hehe, this is herbal tea I specially picked from the garden and blended. The fragrance can relax the body and mind."
"Eh... so Yutsuki's family uses herbal tea to entertain guests."
A look of slight surprise appeared on Shido's face. After all, using this kind of thing to entertain friends is quite rare. Like at Shido's house, they would at most prepare so barley tea and carbonated drinks.
"Well... it's just my mom's personal hobby." Yutsuki chuckled and blinked at Shido, "However, this tea was specially prepared for you, Shido."
"For ?"
Yutsuki nodded, a helpless smile on her face.
"Because ever since you heard my father wanted to see you, you've been so nervous you've been acting like a robot."
"Uh..."
Shido originally thought he had covered it up pretty well, but he didn't expect Yutsuki had seen right through it. This made Shido give a sowhat awkward bitter smile.
"Thanks, Yutsuki. To be able to get such a gentle and considerate girlfriend, I'm really happy."
"There's no need to exaggerate. This kind of thing is very normal."
Yutsuki scratched her cheek sowhat embarrassedly.
"Not at all. To , Yutsuki is definitely the cutest, most beautiful girl in this world, my most precious treasure in my life. So I've decided to never let go for the rest of my life!"
Shido's unexpected straight pitch instantly turned the girl's cheeks completely red. Flustered and not knowing what to do, she hurriedly turned her head away.
"Auu... such an extrely embarrassing line... Shido, you really have the nerve to say it."
"Hm? I'm just honestly expressing my own thoughts."
"Ugh... that way of putting it is the slyest."
Looking at the base of Yutsuki's thoroughly red ears, Shido chuckled, reached out, and gently patted Yutsuki's head.
Although being patted on the head was a nice thing, Shido's attitude made Yutsuki puff out her cheeks with so dissatisfaction. But to Shido, this was also very cute.
"...!"
For so reason, the blush on Yutsuki's face suddenly faded, and a deeply aningful smile appeared instead.
"Shido, there's sothing I need to tell you."
"Hm?"
"Father and Mother are watching from outside the door."
—Nani!?
"Ara ara~ They really look so sweet and lovey-dovey. Youth is so nice."
"Damn it, damn it, damn it! Yutsuki hasn't let pat her head since she started junior high. Unforgivable! This damn brat—I should definitely kill him after all!"
At this mont, Shido couldn't help but think in his heart.
I'm done for...
