It was hard to describe their feelings at that moment.

However, if Shishio had to say, it felt like when the intense storm had stopped, but only found out a tsunami came from behind.

How did you feel?

Shishio wasnt sure since he had never encountered such an experience, but that might not be much different from what he felt at this moment.

Just one problem after another

He had just finished his problem and wanted to solve Hinas problem, but there was again another problem. Still, he observed the girl for a while and felt this girl was quite easy prey.

Well, shes a cutie.

Her petite body didnt make her appear thin. Instead, it made her appear cuter than most girls.

Shishio must admit among all of his women, there werent any cute types, and most of them were unique ones with adult bodies.

Wait, is she a middle school student?

If so, Shishio decided to put this matter on hold first.

Can you not see my father again? The girl said and caused the two to be in a daze for a while since no one would expect such words from a stranger they had never seen. I am Mikimoto Hibiki. However, she didnt seem to care about their reactions and continued with what she wanted to say. I think you can already guess from my family name, but I am the current daughter of your biological father, Mikimoto Jou.

Huh?

..

Shishio didnt say anything and just stood by their sides. Still, he must admit Ruis mental strength was as strong as steel. This girl wasnt even fazed and just stood still even after all of that.

As expected of my girlfriend

Shishio was slightly proud. Still, he wondered whether Rui just didnt know what to say at this moment. Anyway, he wasnt going to join unless the situation was out of control.

However, the girl, whose name was Hibiki, started to get annoyed by Ruis lack of response.

Like I said! I am the current daughter of his remarriage! I want you to stop seeing my fat

Huh?! However, Rui was full of annoyance toward Hibiki. Who do you think youre for saying something like that?!

When Shishio saw the sign that it was about to get out of control, he quickly joined and calmed them down. Okay, okay, calm down. How about you two talk to each other first?

Hibiki was quickly attracted by Shishio, and she was stunned for a while before she blushed.

.. Rui.

Wh-Who are you? Her voice sounded quite nervous since she was afraid to make a bad impression on him. After all, she must admit Shishio was her type.

However, the one who answered wasnt Shishio. Instead, it was Rui.

Rui hugged his arm intimately and said, This is my boyfriend.

.. Hibiki.

Ive won.

Hibiki caught such an expression on Ruis face, and she became even more annoyed. She didnt even care anymore and said, Anyway, her father is mine now! From now on, dont She hadnt finished her words and caught sight of her father. Father!

Jou was on his scooter, watching this charade in a dumbfounded manner.

Wait, father! Like I thought, you were meeting your ex-family! Why?! Didnt I say you cant?! Hibiki shouted.

Eh-ah- well its Jou was stunned, unable to say or comprehend anything, before he changed the direction of his scooter and escaped. See ya!

Hes running away!

Damn, Rui muttered with a unique expression.

Rui! Shishio was stunned when Rui started to chase after her father.

My dad always runs away when faced with a serious conversation! Im going to catch him and make him explain everything! Rui then turned and chased after Jou with all of her might. Wait!!!

.

The two left them behind.

Shishio and Hibiki looked at each other for a moment.

Should we enter first? Shishio asked since, as a man, he still had a duty to break this awkwardness.

Ok-Okay Hibiki nodded with a low and shy voice.

. Shishio.

Why are you all here? This restaurant hasnt been opened yet, right?

When they entered, Hibiki couldnt wait anymore, looked at him, and asked the question she had always wanted to ask. The interior of the restaurant and how the kitchen seemed ready to be used might distract him. Yet, she didnt forget her purpose in coming here.

Jou might have planned to open the second restaurant, but it wouldnt start until next year. However, he opened it. Even if some of the furniture was still unfinished, there was this single small table near the counter with four chairs. The table might seem lonely, yet somehow it gave elegance and a warm feeling to the people who saw it.

However, it couldnt be helped since there were many things that hadnt been finished in this restaurant.

Ruis situation happened so suddenly, and it was impossible for Jou to let her use her first restaurant since it had to open every day, so even though this second restaurant was unfinished, they decided to use it.

It was also the reason why the chairs were located at the table counter since if it was located in the middle, or even the side of the room, it would make people feel uncomfortable since they would feel they had attracted everyones attention.

The reason why people wanted to visit a restaurant was to eat delicious food.

Shishio wanted to empathize with that point by placing the chairs on the counter table. He also hoped Tsukiko Tachibana, Ruis mother, could see how hard her daughter worked from the place where she ate.

While helping with the decoration, Shishio also helped with the dishes, giving Rui and Jou pointers on where they could improve the dish.

Still, he answered Hibikis questions and why Rui was here. After all, it wasnt like Rui hid this fact, and he also felt Hibiki had the right to know. While he wasnt sure why this girl seemed reluctant to let Rui and Jou meet each other, he could ask this question later.

It might be because he was handsome, and his explanation was well-founded that Hibiki couldnt find an answer to refute him.

After all, unlike in the original story, where the protagonist did something perverted from time to time with this girl. However, it was a normal thing since manga also needed fan service.

Still, in reality, would fanservice work?

Shishio felt it might work for him, but he liked to get permission to do it instead of doing something perverted by accident.

However, after a while, Hibiki seemed to harden her heart and persistently said, No, she must have an ulterior motive! Even though she must admit Shishio was handsome and he was also her type, this and that was a different matter.

Just why dont you want Rui to meet your father so much? This was something he didnt understand. Shishio felt there must be a reason behind it. After all, it was quite abnormal for the step-daughter to react so strongly like this.

Hibiki didnt hide anything and told Shishio why she didnt want Rui to meet Jou. I dont want her to meet his previous family because of my sake!

Your sake? Shishio was confused.

. Hibiki hesitated, but she said, My papa I mean, my biological father he had a daughter with someone else and left us. It seems that the mother was a hostess at a club he frequented. My mum blamed herself endlessly after that. Hed have found me prettier if I were younger, shed say.

Shishio shook his head at Hibikis father since he felt older women had their own charm, and their charm was impossible to be sought by younger women.

When my current father married her, everything started to heal, but whenever father brought up stories about his previous family, she would start shaking in fear. Shed constantly think, What if his ex-wife was better? What should I do? Thats why, as much as possible, I dont want him to mention anything about his previous family.

Hibiki thought Shishio would understand, but unexpectedly

Youre selfish, Shishio said plainly.

Huh?! Hibiki thought she had misheard something.

I am sorry if my words are quite rude, but lets say you meet your papa after a long time, and his child says, youre not papas child anymore. Youre not related to him, so dont come to us anymore. Shishio looked at Hibiki and asked, How would you feel?

Hibiki couldnt say words, and her eyes brimmed with tears.

I assure you that Rui doesnt plan to do something you have imagined. After all, Rui was going to stay with him. It was impossible for Rui to want to live with her father again.

While they were in silence, they heard the sound of the door opening. They saw Rui had entered the restaurant, then said, I have heard the whole story. She stood next to Shishio and then bowed her head slightly. Youre right. Your fear that my appearance might disrupt your peaceful family life is understandable. I am sorry. She then looked Hibiki in the eyes and said, But I dont have the slightest intention of doing anything to your family. I didnt intend to come here to be with my father. Im here simply to learn from a chef. Please believe in me.

When the two were about to talk to each other, Shishio decided to leave the restaurant. Then he saw Jou was there, smoking while staring in the distance. Youre not going to enter.

Jou could only laugh while ruffling his messy hair. Haha let them talk to each other.

Just say that you dont want to get involved. Shishio sighed.

Jou was speechless, but he didnt deny Shishio. Instead, he looked at him and asked, Say, what do you think should I do?

Make a child, Shishio said without hesitation.

Huh?! Jou was dumbfounded.

If you have a child with your new wife, she wont have to worry about anything, Shishio said.

I am already at this age! Jou was in his 40s! His new wife also wasnt much different from him. He also felt he had enough children.

Well, just have sex then, Shishio said.

. Jou.

Tell her that you love her every night. After all, this was the only method for one to make your woman not worry.

Jou was even more speechless and sighed. Shishio-kun, youre still young. I am already at this age. My little me cant work so hard anymore. He was already in his 40s. His thing couldnt work so well anymore.

Then let me tell you a secret. Shishio sat next to Jou and whispered a lot of things to him, so Jou could become a mighty man on the bed.

Oh-ho? Jou was dumbfounded, and his face was full of excitement when he heard Shishios words. He must admit he had accepted Shishio as his son-in-law.

However, those two didnt know whether it was Rui or Hibiki. The two looked at them as if they were trash.

It wasnt a moment later that Shishio and Jou realized Rui and Hibiki were staring at them silently.
