"Dad! What are you saying!"
Even Kushida Kikyo was a bit embarrassed, but Kushida Nakaki still asked with unwavering determination.
"Answer me! Bai Jun! Give me a definitive answer!"
Looking at Kushida Nakaki, Bai Yuze was silent for a moment, then slowly uttered a sentence.
"Uncle Kushida... we're still in school..."
"What's wrong with being in school, being in school isn't... Ow ow ow! That hurts!"
Kushida Miu pulled Kushida Nakaki's ear and led him away from the dining table. She gave Bai Yuze a slightly apologetic look.
Only Kushida Kikyo and Bai Yuze were left at the dining table, looking at each other. After a while, Bai Yuze slowly uttered a sentence.
"Is this also part of the surprise?"
Kushida Kikyo: ...
Soon, Kushida Nakaki and Kushida Miu returned. After their friendly exchange, Kushida Nakaki quieted down a lot, though the bruises on his face were somewhat noticeable...
After dinner, Kushida Miu brought fruit platters for everyone. Bai Yuze and Kushida Kikyo sat on the sofa. Due to Kushida Miu's presence, the sofa felt a bit crowded. Bai Yuze was squeezed to one side, and Kushida Kikyo was almost pressed against him.
Kushida Miu, however, seemed completely unconcerned. She quietly asked the two when they started dating... and what their future plans were.
Kushida Nakaki sat alone on a single sofa, holding a cup of tea and drinking it silently. But his action of being accidentally scalded by the tea showed that his attention was not on the tea...
Regarding Kushida Miu's questions, Bai Yuze went full throttle, praising Kushida Kikyo to the heavens. Not only did he make Kikyo herself embarrassed, but even her parents almost couldn't keep a straight face...
They knew their own child better than anyone. They hadn't even started boasting about her themselves, and someone else was already doing it.
At this moment, Kushida Nakaki thought it seemed quite normal for his daughter to have fallen for him...
"Bai Jun! My daughter is in your hands! I understand! Excellent people like you surely have more than one beauty. I don't ask for my Kikyo to be the main one or not! I just ask that you treat her well!"
In this world, polygamy or polyandry are common. The principle of 'the more capable, the more work' is fully demonstrated in this regard.
Kushida Nakaki clearly realized that his daughter would have many rivals! What seemed calm now was actually already a turbulent undercurrent!
While there weren't many people around, he needed to quickly prepare Bai Yuze mentally. That's why he had just acted in a way similar to "giving away his daughter." He might seem muddled, but in fact, he was clearer than anyone! If things came to fruition earlier, even if strong rivals appeared later, his daughter would still have a place!
"Ah? Oh..."
Bai Yuze was completely flustered by the sudden declaration... He was good at scheming against others and playing mind games with the uncanny, but this was his first time meeting parents. What was he supposed to do? Play mind games with his prospective in-laws? Arrange for a hundred-ton truck to send the elderly couple on an adventure to another world when they went out to buy groceries?
Kushida Kikyo: Yay! My mom and dad are great heroes of another world!
Wouldn't that be completely out of line?
All his current behavior showed that he was also a pure-hearted virgin! Oh... pure-hearted still, but not a virgin anymore...
His awkward answer also showed that he was new to this. If he were to have dinner and chat with other people's parents in the future, and he did everything perfectly, then the girl might say to him.
"How are you so skilled, you scoundrel!"
Then he'd be done for!
--------
"Ah haha! You two chat, you two chat! We have something we need to discuss privately."
Kushida Miu smiled, twisting Kushida Nakaki's ear as they left. Kushida Kikyo immediately pulled Bai Yuze's hand and returned to her own room.
"Today's surprise was truly abundant! Kikyo-chan is so thoughtful!"
Bai Yuze covered his heart, feigning surprise. What responded to him was a pillow thrown by Kushida Kikyo.
"Ah ah ah! You scoundrel! Don't say another word!"
Kushida Kikyo wished she could burrow under the bed and never come out. She was now considering moving to Mars...
Bai Yuze caught the pillow and thought with a serious expression.
"Hmm... regarding what my father-in-law said about when to get married, I should consider it..."
Bai Yuze's mouth was suddenly covered by Kushida Kikyo's hand. At this moment, Kushida Kikyo's face was as red as a ripe apple.
"If you say another word, I'll bite you!"
Kushida Kikyo's flushed little face made her threat completely ineffective. Bai Yuze just smiled and teased.
"What if I say more? For example..."
Bai Yuze's mouth was gently bitten by Kushida Kikyo. The sudden attack and the fragrant scent caught him a bit off guard.
At this moment, he suddenly glanced at the door... He had a premonition... Kushida Kikyo's parents were probably about to appear...
Sure enough, the next moment Kushida Miu pushed open the door. She smiled and asked the two.
"Bai Jun, Kikyo, do you want to drink... wha... t..."
Kushida Miu's voice slowly faded. Her eyes were wide, and Kushida Kikyo had separated from Bai Yuze at this moment. The silver threads at the corners of their mouths indicated that their recent actions were exactly what Kushida Miu had been thinking...
"I'm sorry! I interrupted! You two carry on! You two carry on!"
Kushida Miu said with an embarrassed smile, quickly closing the door. She leaned against the door and patted her chest. The stone in her heart had dropped. Looking at Kushida Kikyo's reaction, she was sure that her daughter really liked this boy, rushing to her room to be intimate!
But she was also a little puzzled, was her daughter that hungry? She even bit him until his skin broke!
"Are you okay?"
Bai Yuze touched the almost petrified Kushida Kikyo. Two lines of clear tears flowed from Kushida Kikyo's eyes, and her tone, though slow, was incredibly serious as she said.
"Yuze! Let's move to Mars! Let's find a place where no one else lives!"
"Uh... is it that exaggerated? I feel like I should be the one who's embarrassed..."
No matter what he did, Bai Yuze always felt like he was the one taking advantage, but why was Kushida Kikyo's reaction even bigger than his?
Bai Yuze, without parents, would not understand how utterly mortifying it was to be embarrassed with someone else in front of your parents! Haha, what a dark joke...
"Let's rest! Or, how about you show me around here later?"
Bai Yuze hadn't seen Chiba yet. Having finally come to Chiba, he planned to see the places he had read about in books.
"Okay, I'll take you after I reboot..."
Kushida Kikyo buried herself in her bed. Just then, there was a knock at the door.
The sound made Kushida Kikyo sit up.
"Come in!"
The door was quietly pushed open a crack. A pair of white hands reached in, placed an item on the floor, then retracted and closed the door.
Bai Yuze focused his attention on the item and saw that the words on it were...
[Ultra-thin]
