As Tobe and Hina had their conversations, the rest was easy, and Hina and her mother had decided to move before the end of the Golden Week. Naturally, he would help with the moving, but as most of their items were moved with the moving service, he didn't need to do much and just needed to stay at the house to wait for them.
Still, after all of this, what should he do?
It was impossible for him to go to Yukinoshita, as Yuki-san definitely wouldn't allow them, and he had heard that they would go on the trip.
What about Shiori?
Similarly, Shiori would also go on a trip with her family.
It was also the same with Maaya, who would go on a trip with her family, as it was rare for her parents to go on a break, and she told him that she would go to Hokkaido for the entire Golden Week with her entire family.
If he asked, Tobe was sure that Maaya would give him the time of day, and she would be more than happy, considering how her petite body always ached and was addicted to being toyed with by him; he thought that it was better for her to stay with her family.
Yes, he might be like those guys who would make women crazy about his cock, and make them forget everything, abandoning everything for the pleasure of their bodies, and become completely addicted to reality.
By then, the women would go downhill, seeking the dopamine every day, from sex, gambling, drugs, etc.
Fortunately, Tobe wasn't a scumbag or a trash, who didn't have money and mooched off his women for a living. It might seem impossible, but such a trash-like human existed, especially when a profession known as a host, in this country, existed, a profession where they sucked off women's wealth, making them completely penniless, then sold themselves to those wealthy, ugly uncles.
'Somehow, it's like a cycle.'
The handsome men would deceive the women and take all of their money. The women would deceive the naive, less presentable, and also wealthy guys and take all of their money. Those wealthy guys would take the money of the handsome men from a trade.
Fortunately, he had a system, so everything was okay; however, it was better for him to show his worth as soon as possible, so that his women could feel relieved and stay by his side.
So, where should he go after this?
Naturally, he would go to Hiratsuka, his teacher, whom he hadn't seen for a few days. While they hadn't gone all out, they had done many things that they shouldn't have as a student and a teacher, yet instead of stopping themselves, they sought each other further, hoping to become one, and let themselves drown in this carnal desire.
With that said, he didn't waste his time!
"Ah, you are going back?" Sana was surprised since she wanted to talk with her stepson more.
"Are you going to Yukinoshita-san, Tobe-kun?" Even if Hina didn't have to ask, she knew where Tobe planned to go.
"Ah, if that's the case, there is nothing we can do."
They had just met each other, and probably, Tobe talked about his problem to his girlfriend, and after what had happened, wasn't it normal for him to meet his girlfriend?
"....."
While that wasn't the case, especially when he went to visit his lover's place, he decided to accept their understanding and left after he talked with his father.
"You are really okay, right?"
"I am."
Shigeru wondered why people were smoking and tried to search for a way to cope when they met a difficult situation, but he understood now, and he felt like the problem of a family was more difficult than the problem in the office, as he had no need to think too much.
"Frankly, I was thinking to set everything straight when you finished high school since by then, you would be an adult, but as it happened, then..."
As Shigeru hesitated, Tobe looked at his father dumbfoundedly and asked with some hesitation. "...did you make her pregnant?"
"No." Shigeru was speechless at this misunderstanding.
"But will you?"
"...I don't know? Probably? If I make her pregnant, what do you think?"
"Well, nothing." Tobe was speechless at this question, thinking. "Frankly, I don't really want to hear my father have sex with another woman."
"...that's true, I should just keep my words, but it is too late."
"Yup."
"...." 2x
"Well, you know what? Instead of me, I think that Ebina-san is more sensitive and delicate." Instead of him, Tobe felt that they should think of Hina. "Unlike me, who thinks that it is normal if you want to be responsible for a woman with whom you have sex."
"..." Shigeru.
"It might be better if you just play around, though."
"I am not a scumbag!"
"Are you?"
"...I might play around before, but this one is different."
"That's good, then."
Sipping his cold can of coffee, Shigeru let out a helpless sigh and said, "I still love your mother, too."
"I understand. Don't worry."
"...it feels weird when you say that you understand."
"Isn't it better for a man to become mature earlier?"
Most men were late bloomers, and they only became mature when they were hit by reality, society, and everything. Working, working, and working. It was only when they became strong and had many women to chase after them that they understood that love wasn't as difficult as they thought it would be.
Then again, it would be better for one to experience love early, since that way, they could be more proficient in it, like how one needed to talk more in a certain language to master that language.
Love also works that way.
Shigeru took a deep breath and asked after a moment of hesitation, "I know that I shouldn't ask this, but do you have more than one lover?"
"....."
Tobe took a deep breath as he looked at the distant sky before he stood up. "It's time for me to go."
"Oi!"
As they bickered for a while, Shigeru wanted to say that Tobe shouldn't seduce Hina, but when he felt like even if Tobe was kind of scummy, he could be trusted, especially in his ability to make money.
At least, even if one was a scum, who couldn't control their lower body, they should be able to take responsibility for those women that they had been sex with, and once again, Tobe had that ability, so it was all fine.
"At least, try not to hurt them."
"I know." Tobe nodded, but then he stopped and asked, "You are not going to visit Mom's grave right away, right?"
"Of course not." Shigeru shook his head and decided to remind his son, "Still, this marriage, while it might change how you live as we will be living with them from now on, if you are not okay with it, it is fine." This decision of marriage was quite selfish, after all, so if Tobe wanted to be selfish, too, then it was all okay.
However.
"That's not fine, right?"
In life, could one be selfish?
Being tolerant, accepting, and something that one couldn't like was also part of life.
"But you are my son. That's what makes it different, right?"
In life, being selfish might not work, but as Tobe was his son, of course, he wanted him to be happy.
"It's because we're a family that I wish to be happy, too."
Like how Shigeru wanted him to be happy, Tobe also wanted him to be happy, so he would accept this new family. If his mother still existed, it would be different, though, but as she had deceased, what could he do except for supporting this problem.
Regardless, the two had talked, and Tobe had come to terms with everything, and he was also too lazy to whine about this change.
Charles Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection, "Survival of the Fittest."
If Tobe couldn't change and be stubborn with how he was, it might be okay, and nothing would change, but as he wasn't the original Tobe, it was impossible for him not to change and refuse the change.
Adaptation and acceptance.
That's what he would do, but naturally, he wanted to be comforted by his women since it felt weird to be comforted by his father.
Only when he thought of going to Hiratsuka did he get a call from someone who wanted to take a job at his new cafe.
"Okay?"
Looking at the time, he hesitated before; in the end, he said, "Okay, wait for me there."
Let's solve everything first, so that he can rest peacefully~!
