758 I can promise at least not to beat him up to death (1/2)
In the end, Seiji was unable to find out anything regarding Chiaki's mother.
But, he didn't want to give up just like this… Seiji intended to call Shingo again later to ask again.
And if Shingo Wakaba still refused to say anything, Seiji would go find him and say his question to his face.
And if Seiji still couldn't get an answer, he would ask Natsuya to hire someone to investigate Chiaki's family!
Of course, Seiji would ask about Chiaki's own feelings regarding the matter first.
”I'll leave everything to you.” Chiaki smiled at Seiji. ”Troubling my dad over this… feels pretty good.”
Seiji smiled as he sensed that his girlfriend trusted him completely.
Seiji then told Natsuya about the situation. She was more than happy to help out if needed, telling him that all he needed to do was ask if he decided to have an investigation done on Chiaki's family.
After that, it was time to train in Kazuko's Domain once more.
This time, only Seiji, Mika, Hoshi, Kaede, Mayuzumi, Kaho, Natsuya, and Rana were participating in battle.
Since the cat girl was joining the battle, Chiaki couldn't enjoy her cat time and wasn't too happy.
After the strategy conference, everyone put on their combat equipment and Rana transformed into her adult cat woman form. Her seductive beauty was a huge contrast to her previous cuteness, astonishing everyone who saw her other form for the first time.
Chiaki was particularly stunned to the point where she even began to drool without realizing.
When she regained her senses, she strongly requested to touch the cat girl's tail! But, Rana avoided her yet again.
”I'm begging you~ Kirin-chan~ Please let me touch you~~”
”Meow.”
The tomboy chased the larger cat girl in circles around the living room. Chiaki seemed to be having fun.
Mayuzumi also expressed interest in touching Rana, and Mika and the others were interested as well. But since everyone saw that Rana didn't want to be touched, they naturally didn't press the issue.
Seiji took action and captured the ”berserk” Chiaki, tossing her over to Mai to watch over her while everyone was training in the Domain.
After everyone finished their preparations, they then entered the Domain.
Kazuko lowered the difficulty of the monsters in the Domain, but not by too much. The difficulty was back to the same level as the day before yesterday.
Everyone's fight was successful, and no unexpected situations popped up. Neither did any ”vicious demon” level monsters appear as everyone successfully defeated the last monster wave.
After leaving the Domain, Seiji went to find Chiaki. He saw that she was looking at the yard in a daze.
”Welcome back… was everything fine?” Chiaki came back to her senses when she noticed Seiji arriving.
”My dad called me just now and told me to eat dinner with him tonight,” Chiaki spoke in a soft voice.
Seiji raised his eyebrows upon hearing this. ”He's willing to talk to you about your mother?”
”He didn't mention anything. He only told me to eat dinner with him tonight… And he even specifically mentioned that you weren't allowed to come.”
As expected, Chiaki's father Shingo didn't like Seiji. Seiji was completely unaffected by her father's dislike for him.
Seiji didn't care at all what Shingo thought of him. He only cared about what Chiaki thought.
”If he says that, I want to go even more… But, I'll leave the decision up to you.” Seiji looked directly at his girlfriend's face. ”If you want me to go with you, I'll go. Or, if you want me to go with you but you don't want him to know about it, I can use a spell to make myself invisible. And if you feel that it will be better for you to go by yourself, I will respect your wish.”
Chiaki fell silent for a moment before replying.
”If I allow you to come with me, can you guarantee that you absolutely won't attack him?'
”I can't,” Seiji answered directly and honestly.
”I knew it… that's why I can't take you with me.” Chiaki sighed in exaggerated fashion as if she was a teacher who felt helpless about a delinquent student.
”I can promise at least not to beat him up to death.” Seiji made a pose like he was a delinquent student.
”Rather than a guarantee, that sounds more like a threat, my dear student Haruta-san.”
”You misunderstand. I'm sincerely guaranteeing that at the very most, I'll break only a few of his bones, Wakaba-sensei.”
”That's definitely a threat!”
