Chapter 71 - The Hiiragi Family’s Circumstances – 4 (1/2)

Hiiragi-chan Papa was speechless towards my coming out.

“… This is true. Earlier, I said I had a lover, right? That person is him, Sanada Seiji-kun.”

We once again held each other’s hands.

Then, Hiiragi-chan Papa slowly opened his mouth.

“B-but, Haru-chan… y-you work as a teacher, right…?”

Haru-chan? That’s what Hiiragi-chan Papa calls her…? That’s kind of unexpected.

More importantly, his voice has become quite restless.

“That’s right… a world history teacher.”

“Then, this Sanada-kun… which school is he…”

“He’s a second year at the school that I work at.”

“…”

Hiiragi-chan Papa took a step back looking quite shaken.

It’s really troublesome, Hiiragi Papa.

“Currently, it’s been four months since we have started dating—”

“I-I don’t want to hear it!”

“Haaah…?”

Not understanding what was going on, I looked at Hiiragi-chan, whose eyes were shut with a bitter expression on her face.

“Even for me! This time’s marriage interview was something I didn’t like! But now it’s a high school student!?”

While he was talking, he fixed his slightly misaligned glasses. The breath of the capable businessman Papa was starting to get disturbed.

“That’s why I don’t like it… going home…”

“Ah…”

Looking at Hiiragi Papa once, and returning back to Hiiragi-chan, I finally understood and nodded once.

“I’m thankful that you helped Haru-chan. It’s good that she wasn’t done by some vulgar fool. Besides, I would say that you are equipped with better looks.”

“No… that’s not…”

Sanjou-bocchan is like that, so being compared is a little…

“That’s definitely true! Seiji-kun is cool!”

“That’s not true.”

“It’s true ♪”

“Don’t flirt in front of meeeeeeee!”

As if he was trying to stop a headache, Hiiragi Papa grabbed his glasses with his empty hand.

“To be honest, I have to admit that you have the courage to be able to declare your relationship…!”

“Ah, thank you…”

“During lunch, the person who came to pour the red wine was Sanada-kun, right? He looked quite the part, and your gestures were also quite refined…!”

“T-thank you…”

Am I being given a good chance at this?

“However, dating is no good! Rather than you being the problem, it doesn’t matter who it is, I won’t forgive them!”

I guess Hiiragi Papa is an overprotective parent?

“Is it possible that for Natsumi-chan, it’s also the same?”

“Yeah.”

I finally understood why having Natsumi-chan as an ally allowed us to gain approval to live together.

“Whether you’re rich, or a high school student, I won’t give Haru-chan!”

“Even without Otou-san’s permission, the two of us are doing just fine! We don’t need your approval!”

Gufu, Hiiragi Papa took damage from her words.

Hiiragi-chan’s overprotective thoughts towards me were very similar to Hiiragi Papa.

“Haruka-san, saying something like that is not okay. Papa-san is just trying to think for you.”

“Those feelings are heavy, so I don’t like it…”

“Young man, nice follow!”

“Yeah.”

“Mou, Seiji-kun, whose side are you on anyways!?”

Turning mad, Hiiragi-chan stomped around with her legs.

It’s cute and childish.

As I was grinning, Hiiragi Papa was also grinning. Ah… we might actually get along.

This person though… I feel like I’ve seen him before…? Is it just me?

“Anyways, a student dating a teacher, that enviou——no——that scandalous situation is unforgivable…! If the teacher is Haru-chan, then it’s even more unforgivable!”

Rather than it being me, it’s more like any guy that gets close to Hiiragi-chan is out.

“Then, what could I do?”
