Louisa blushed as she walked up to Hikari, speaking in a soft, delicate voice:"Dad… Daddy, does your daughter look pretty like this?"
Hikari chuckled and patted her on the head,"You look great, Louisa."
His compliment wasn't entirely a lie. Though the school uniform looked a bit out of place, it did fit snugly, enhancing her youthful charm with a sense of contrast.
Hearing the praise, Louisa beamed with delight,"I'm back from school. Are you happy, Daddy?" she asked sweetly.
Hikari nodded,"Not bad. Did you listen to your teachers at school today?"
"Of course! I was very well-behaved." Louisa replied confidently.
However, Hikari smirked knowingly,"Oh? Really? I heard from your headmaster that you were causing some trouble again."
Louisa's blue eyes glistened as she protested with a pout, "Louisa was good! I listened, really…"
"Hmm, don't try to deceive me," Hikari said with mock sternness,"Come here, let's have a little talk about honesty."
Louisa lowered her head in embarrassment, sitting down quietly.
Their conversation continued in a more lighthearted tone, with Hikari carefully guiding Louisa about the importance of listening and being responsible. He emphasized the value of respecting her role as the student council president, balancing her duties with her behavior.
By the end of their chat, Louisa nodded earnestly, her earlier defiance replaced by a sincere desire to improve.
Later, Hikari handed her a warm glass of milk, encouraging her to drink up. "You need energy to grow strong and face tomorrow, Louisa."
[T/N: Here milk refers to sem*n]
She smiled and took the glass, sipping happily. After finishing it, she looked up at him with a hopeful expression,"Daddy, I drank all the milk! Am I a good girl?"
Hikari ruffled her hair affectionately,"Of course, you're a good girl. Always remember to keep working hard."
Her face lit up as she cuddled into him. "Louisa wants to always be Daddy's good girl."
As the evening wore on, Louisa yawned sleepily,"Daddy, can you tell me a bedtime story?"
Hikari chuckled. "You're tired. Rest now, and I'll tell you one another time."
"Okay… Goodnight, Daddy…" she murmured, her eyes fluttering closed.
Soon, soft snores filled the room as Louisa drifted into peaceful slumber.
Hikari gently tucked her in, glancing at his phone as it buzzed. It was Principal Rikka calling.
He stepped out of the room to answer the call,"Hello, Principal Rikka?"
"Hikari, I've called several times! What took you so long to answer?" she said, sounding mildly annoyed.
"Sorry, I was busy helping your student council president with some issues," Hikari replied calmly.
Principal Rikka laughed lightly,"Oh? How's her progress? Did you manage to convince her to cooperate with the new plans?"
"Everything went smoothly," he confirmed.
"And did she really call you 'Daddy'?" Principal Rikka teased, laughing uncontrollably.
"She did," Hikari admitted.
"Ha! ha! ha! ha!"
On the other end of the phone, Rikka Sumeragi suddenly began to laugh, and her laughter grew louder and louder.
"Ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! ha!"
Listening to Rikka's laughter, Hikari remained silent.
After laughing for a while, Rikka realized her loss of composure, gradually stopped laughing, and regained her calm.
With an apologetic tone, Rikka said, "Sorry, Hikari. I couldn't help but laugh when I imagined Louisa, who always looks so righteous and upright at school, kneeling down and calling you 'Daddy.'"
Hikari smiled and said, "It's okay, I understand. I told Louisa that the principal also calls me 'Daddy' during my psychological counseling sessions, and she found it just as funny."
"What? You told her about me?" Rikka Liuhua exclaimed in shock.
The sound of gritted teeth came through from the other end of the phone.
"It was to ease her psychological pressure. Otherwise, Louisa might think she's too strange," Hikari replied with a chuckle.
"Hikari! Naka! Mura!"
"You are to come to Seika Private Girls' Academy immediately."
"I have serious doubts about your qualifications and competence as a special psychological counselor. I will be conducting an inspection on you. Now! Immediately! Right this moment!"
Rikka's furious voice echoed repeatedly.
Hikari simply gave a calm smile. "Got it."
———
An hour and a half later, Hikari walked out of the principal's office with a calm expression.
Meanwhile, Rikka, who was lying on her desk, seemed to have strained a muscle, as her body was trembling uncontrollably.
She watched Hikari's departing figure and, unable to stop herself, murmured in a daze.
"This guy... his ability to counsel others... how has it improved again?"
"Damn it... this is... too much..."
———
On the other side.
Some hours after Hikari had left.
Louisa's eyelids fluttered a few times, signaling she was about to wake up.
She had slept exceptionally well this time.
