762 You have to use protection! (2/2)

Chiaki, who had just wanted to cry, now wanted to laugh out loud.

Her father's misunderstanding and serious attitude and Seiji's sudden lack of confidence… this scene made her feel happy for some reason.

She lowered her head in order to hide the fact that she was almost about to laugh.

This action caused Shingo to misunderstand even further. His gaze became even fiercer.

”Listen to me, you absolutely have to use protection! Otherwise… there will be a serious problem!”

”We haven't had such a relationship yet… We haven't reached that level,” Seiji hurriedly mentioned.

This was the truth. Although Chiaki had given him several blowjobs, and he had serviced her as well, they indeed hadn't crossed the final line and had sex yet.

However, Shingo didn't believe this. And even if they still hadn't had sex yet, they were probably almost at that point in their relationship.

Young people were quite lacking in self-restraint. Even if they could temporarily restrain themselves, there was no telling when they would no longer be able to withstand the urge.

”Since you call yourself Chiaki's boyfriend, and you say that you have responsibilities as her boyfriend, then you also need to protect her. You need to realize the possible consequences of not using protection. You need to take this seriously!”

”I said that we haven't…” Seiji felt rather helpless. ”But, you're right. I'll remember this.”

”You have to remember it.” Shingo glared at Seiji for a while before turning to Chiaki. ”That goes for you as well. You need to protect yourself. If he doesn't care about using protection, you need to break up with him as fast as possible.”

Chiaki really was almost about to laugh out loud now. She made a great effort in order not to.

”I will, Dad.” Chiaki finally replied after holding in her urge to laugh. ”Actually… even if we aren't careful… it'll be fine, because Seigo is really rich. He can afford to…”

'This isn't an issue that can be resolved by money!' Shingo wanted to say this, but suddenly felt like he had no right to say something like this.

That was because he had remained distant from his daughter all this time. Apart from giving his daughter lots and lots of money since he was really rich, he knew that he hadn't done anything a father should have for his daughter at all.

Since Shingo realized this, he felt like he no longer had the right to lecture them.

”At any rate, you must be careful.” He ended on that note.

Seiji and Chiaki both nodded obediently.

Everyone fell silent once again.

What had they been talking about originally again?

”Cough… let's get back onto the original topic,” Seiji coughed to put the topic back on track. ”Chiaki's dream is probably no coincidence. It was likely brought about by something mystical. Let us hypothesize that your memories are actually real, Wakaba-san. This means that Chiaki's dream might be the sign that her memories are beginning to recover. While this may seem like a good thing, if that's what's really going on, this is actually a very serious matter. Your wife, Chiaki's mother, was someone who definitely existed for real. Yet, she completely disappeared from the entire world as if she had never existed at all… Only a highly powerful demon or spiritual ability user could be behind this.

”I think that it's more likely a demon is behind this, because if a human was behind this, that person shouldn't have eliminated everyone's memories of your wife but leave your memories only half-erased. And if a demon caused all of this, just how powerful could this demon be… it's difficult for me to calculate. It's possible that this demon has recently started targeting Chiaki. And, the worst possible outcome may be that Chiaki will vanish from the world and everyone's memories, just like her mother did.” Seiji said all this with a serious expression.

Disappear… Chiaki couldn't help but imagine herself being captured… or being kidnapped by some unknown demon, god, or human. After that, she would completely disappear from the world, as if she never existed. Just imagining it made Chiaki feel afraid.

Wait a moment, being taken away by a demon or a god? Wasn't that the same as the so-called being ”spirited away?”

Being spirited away, as in being hidden from the world by some sort of spirit, demon, or god, was quite a famous mystical phenomenon in literature.

The most famous legend of being spirited away in Sakura Island was the story of Urashima Taro, the fisherman who had been taken to a dragon's palace after he'd saved a turtle. This was a fairy tale that everybody in Sakura Island knew.

In modern society of today, being spirited away was treated as a superstitious way to explain someone's sudden and mysterious disappearance. That was what Chiaki knew of being spirited away.

But now, it would seem that the concept of being spirited away was actually true to its roots, that the person would be erased from the world by a demon or a god… was that it?
