Asano Fūsei suddenly felt disillusioned with life. A once-in-a-generation hero like Long Aotian, now reduced to the designated scapegoat. It’s like the hero doesn’t have the courage of his youth anymore.
If I weren’t already Long Aotian with a family, and you two weren’t just my wife’s parents, just by making me take the fall like that, don’t you believe I could play out a dozen Chapters of showing off and face-slapping?
Don’t bully a poor middle-aged man, damn it!
"It’s got nothing to do with me...Dad..."
"You’re still talking back! Asano, what did I say back then? You weren’t supposed to let my daughter suffer even a little bit, did you manage that?"
Asano Fūsei looked puzzled, "I did manage that... now pretending... to be sick is your granddaughter... what does it have to do with your daughter?"
"Now Nazuki is so weak! Isn’t my daughter feeling wronged? As a mother, do you think she would feel good inside?"
"And you said you’d take good care of my daughter, but I see you’re just a brat who makes empty promises! How did I ever agree to this in the first place!"
You really still can’t let go of what happened back then, can you! You petty, nitpicking old man. You can even find fault with me for this!
Wasn’t it just accidentally flirting with your daughter? Do you have to hold a grudge against me for so long?
"Grandpa... it’s not Dad’s fault..." Asano Nazuki said pitifully, "I just... feel a little dizzy, my body feels a bit heavy, and I can’t muster the energy to do anything..."
"Did you eat something bad... that your dad bought?"
So when you’re talking and don’t include me, your whole body feels uncomfortable, huh, old man?
Don’t underestimate Long Aotian!
"I don’t know either..." Asano Nazuki said tearfully, "Am I going to die..."
"You won’t... Grandma won’t let you die..." Hayakawa Miyawa said firmly. "Asano, have you found the doctor? Hurry up and get the check-up done."
"Why are you so slow! Don’t you want my granddaughter to get better? Huh? Asano, I think you’re clearly slacking off!"
The tiny little nitpicking bickering old man (exclusively for Asano Fūsei), Hayakawa Shinsuke, made Asano Fūsei truly feel the full malice of a father-in-law. Feeling a bit depressed, he said, "I’ve found them... but there’s nothing wrong after the check-up..."
"It must be that you want to save money! Let me handle this!"
If you weren’t my wife’s dad, could I rebuff you until you couldn’t eat? Really?
Save money? You’re saying I’m saving money?!! Are you insulting me, Long Aotian?
"Grandpa... no need to find another one... those doctors are very professional..." Asano Nazuki quickly stopped him, "I just... I just feel uncomfortable in my heart..."
"Then that’s a heart sickness... a heart ailment needs heart medicine... Nazuki? Is there something you wish for?"
"Yes, yes, hurry and tell us, Grandpa will surely make it happen for you."
"I... I have nothing really..." Black Hearted Lolita pretended to be pitiful, "Maybe... maybe I just haven’t seen my sister in a long time... I kind of miss her..."
"Then quickly call her back... where is Kaori? Where has Kaori gone?"
"Kaori... she went traveling..." Asano Fūsei said awkwardly, "Actually... Nazuki she..."
"Wuwuwu... Grandma... I feel so bad..."
Black Hearted Lolita interrupted Asano Fūsei, and both Hayakawa Shinsuke and Hayakawa Miyawa couldn’t help feeling a wave of heartache at the sight.
"Quickly call her back... Nazuki is so weak , quickly let her come back and see her..."
"Okay, I’ll make the call..."
The scheming Black Hearted Lolita immediately showed a villain’s smile...
Shirakawa Sawahei and Hayakawa Kashi got ready and went out together. As the sun was shining brightly outside, he grabbed a baseball cap to block the sun.
This unintentional act seemed to subtly align his fashion sense with Little Arrogant’s; a black and a white baseball cap beside each other as they went down the stairs and reached the hotel lobby, where the car was already prepared outside.
Although Miss Kaori had no major reaction to the couple-like outfits they wore, Shirakawa Sawahei sensed something unusual from the reactions of the staff and others in the lobby.
This... really does have a bit of a couple vibe... Although historically red and blue make up a couple, the black and white baseball caps of mine and Hayakawa Kashi’s also seem quite problematic...
He hesitated for a moment but didn’t choose to take off the hat. On one hand, Hayakawa Kashi isn’t an ordinary girl, she wouldn’t waste energy considering such things, and the so-called couple outfit is a boring concept to her. Shirakawa Sawahei’s unintentional action would not make her misunderstand anything.
On the other hand, if the girl doesn’t mind, why should a man be so fussy?
Thinking to this point, he got into the car with Hayakawa Kashi steadily.
The Okinawa Aquarium wasn’t too far from their hotel, just a ten-minute ride, and they reached their destination.
Queue up, buy tickets, and enter the aquarium. As they neared the entrance, a cute little girl, seemingly the daughter of a staff member, was standing there handing out souvenirs to the visitors.
"Everyone line up one by one, don’t rush, there’s one for everyone."
The little girl’s childish voice elicited smiles from the visitors. When it was Hayakawa Kashi and Shirakawa Sawahei’s turn, she glanced at Little Arrogant and exclaimed, "Wow~ Sister, you’re so pretty..."
"Do you want to pick a little fish you like?" The little girl immediately showed off the souvenirs in her bag like a treasure.
Hayakawa Kashi picked a clownfish, nodded with a smile, and the little girl eagerly said, "Can I help you wear the souvenir?"
"There are many visitors behind us, it wouldn’t be nice to hold them up."
"It’s okay, little girl, you help big sister put it on. We don’t mind." The visitors behind couldn’t help but smile seeing such a loving scene.
Shirakawa Sawahei at her side couldn’t help but smile, even Miss Kaori seemed a bit at a loss facing the sweet little girl. After thinking for a moment, she agreed and squatted down to let the little girl put the clownfish souvenir on her.
The little girl clipped the souvenir onto Hayakawa Kashi’s baseball cap, then clapped her hands and smiled sweetly, "Sister got cuter..."
Shirakawa Sawahei couldn’t hold back his laughter for a moment.
Little Arrogant Study Girl seemed to freeze for a second, then smiled at the little girl, "Since sister let you put on the souvenir, can you do sister a favor?"
"What favor?" The little girl asked curiously, "Wait until I finish my work, can I call my mom to help?"
"No need." Hayakawa Kashi stood up, the clownfish souvenir on her white baseball cap wobbled, like the antlers of a newborn deer. She pointed at Shirakawa Sawahei behind her, smiling, "This brother came with me, can you pick a souvenir for him too and help him put it on?"
"It’s best to choose a cute souvenir to make brother even cuter than sister."
Shirakawa Sawahei: "..."
