Chapter 518 Meet the father-in-law
Looking at the Line message "Can you eat spicy food?" sent by Namikaze Yukaku, Oda Shingo was a little confused.

He originally thought that after Namikaze Youhe returned, he would be confined and cut off from communication devices, but he didn't expect that he could still send messages.

"No, I can try it with you."

Oda Shingo pressed the button on his cell phone and called back.

The other party sent back a location, and then there was no sound.

Nobuo Oda sent another message, but it fell on deaf ears.

There was no other way, Oda Nobuo could only wait until tomorrow to visit.

At dinner that night, Fujido Kaoru and Mikami Yuko found that the simple dishes tasted very spicy.

Fujido Kajuu gasped because of the spiciness: "I never thought this is a spicy area."

"I didn't know there was a spicy place in the remote suburbs of Gyeonggi." Yuko Mikami's face turned red and she kept wiping the sweat off her face.

The two girls asked the administrator, and found out that the spiciness of the dish had been reduced a lot to suit local tastes.

For the locals, this is considered mildly spicy.

However, Oda Shingo felt that the food tasted bland, perhaps because his mind was filled with thoughts about Namikaze Yukaku.

"This guy, you can tell at first glance that he's thinking about Namikaze Yukaku." Fujido Kaoshi looked at Oda Shingo's dazed look, as if he didn't even notice the chili pepper.

Yuko Mikami was worried: "Teacher Oda is very troubled."

Oda Shingo has already told Namikaze Yukaku and Mikami Yuko about what happened today, and the two women don't know what to say.

"Sorry to bother you..." Fujido Kaoru wondered if she shouldn't be guarding the crystal anymore.

If it was stolen, it would be better. But I still feel upset when I think about it.

But it was not stolen, and Namikaze Yuzuru was also taken away. Maybe he would have to perform a Romeo and Juliet story with Oda Shingo.

"Hey, even if Namikaze Yuzuru can't do it, I'm still here." Fujido Kaoru wanted to comfort Oda Shingo, "My father admires you very much and will definitely agree."

“……”Oda Shingo looked at her speechlessly.

"What's wrong?" Fujido Kaoru was puzzled.

"Don't you think this feels like taking advantage of someone's weak spot?" Oda Shingo reminded.

"Oh, I'm sorry..." Fujido Kaoru then exclaimed softly.

Oda Shingo curled his lips: "Actually, there's no need to apologize. If you're really sincere, just don't accompany me tomorrow."

"Okay..." Fujido Kaoru hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed.

Then she became dejected.

Yuko Mikami watched quietly.

At night, when Oda Nobuo went to bed, he deliberately locked the door.

Sure enough, the door was gently pulled twice...

Stealing crystals is a shortcut after all.

The next morning, Oda Nobuo carried his heavy luggage and took the train for one stop to Namikaze Yukaku's home.

Today, he will definitely be troubled, right? Oda Shingo could imagine what would happen, but for Namikaze Yukaku, he hurried on without hesitation.

Although the mountain road was difficult to walk on, Oda Shingo used the system to open an energy potion and felt full of energy, so it was no problem.

In order to highlight his formal attitude, Oda Shingo wore a formal suit, which is in line with the most common dress code for visiting parents-in-law in modern Japan.

It's a bit cold in this season.

Close to the place where Namikaze Yuzuru was located, there was a village that was common in the suburbs of Japan.

The low artificial wooden and stone houses and the high and low walls were not as poor and remote as expected, but a relatively wealthy place.

There were almost no young people in the village, and only two or three children were jumping around. This was consistent with the strange situation in some Japanese villages.

Poor villages in Japan often have young people living there all year round, but wealthier villages cannot retain them.

Because young people have been exposed to the new era of life through television and the Internet, they find it difficult to stay in rural areas and always want to go to big cities to try their luck.

In many Japanese villages, especially those with underdeveloped transportation, there are very few young people.

"Where are you from, stranger?" The children here seemed very brave and came up to ask directly. Oda Shingo was prepared and took out candy.

"Ferrero? Too high in calories." The child took it and was actually a little dissatisfied.

Oda Shingo was surprised. Is Ferrero Rocher out of fashion these days? But when I think about it, it seems to be true. I even bought expensive candies to please children, but they didn't please them completely.

"Are we going to the village chief's house?" However, considering Oda Nobuo's attitude towards spending money, the child still led Oda Nobuo to Namikaze's house.

When they were near the door, an old man from the village noticed Oda Shingo and said, "Hey? Are you Yuhe's friend?"

"Yes, I would like to come visit." Oda Shingo replied politely, but did not confidently introduce himself as a boyfriend.

"It seems that the village chief has a good impression of you." The old man laughed, "Youhe came back last night. We all felt strange. It turned out that you were the one who came."

"what do you mean……"

"I'm glad I allowed you to come this far. It seems like Youhe is going to get married." The old man put his hands behind his back, smiled and walked away.

Oda Shingo looked around.

It seemed that there were quite a few villagers hiding nearby, looking at them curiously.

Could this village be full of ninjas? Oda Shingo was ashamed.

Oda Shingo sent a message to Namikaze Yukaku, informing her that she was almost there.

When they arrived at the door of Bofeng Youhe's house, it was Bofeng Youhe's mother who took the initiative to come out to greet them.

"I am Namikaze Masao's wife, Xuanzi. Welcome."

It was indeed the middle-aged woman I saw yesterday.

Xuanzi was wearing a black tomoe-sode kimono, which is the formal dress for married women and is a style of clothing that shows great respect for the guests.

"I'm sorry to bother you with my visit." Oda Nobuo quickly bowed.

I thought I would be challenged, but it seems that things are going better than I expected.

The Namikaze family is the village chief, and their house is much more grand.

The building is in Japanese style, with bamboo courtyards in front and back, which reminded Oda Shingo of the house of the owner of the Yoshige store in "The Clever Ikkyu".

Although it is not on the same level as the mansions in Tokyo, it definitely has the flavor of a country landlord, not a shabby house in a poor mountain village.

This surprised Oda Shingo. Namikaze Yukaku was so hardworking following him, and he didn't expect that life in the countryside was not bad.

Oda Nobuo put down the gift, and Mrs. Xuanzi accepted it after a few polite words.

That's good. If they're willing to accept it, there's hope! Oda Shingo thought of what the old man had said. It seems that my mother-in-law thinks highly of me? But my father-in-law might not be able to...

After entering the house, Namikaze Yuzuru's father received him in the outer hall. Namikaze Yuzuru, wearing a simple kimono, stood beside him obediently.

Oda Nobuo didn't dare look at her for too long, for fear of being disrespectful.

Namikaze Yuzuru's father said in a clear voice: "Oda-kun? I heard Yuzuru mentioned you many times in his letters."

He had a gentle smile on his face and didn't look unhappy at all.

"I'm sorry for visiting you so suddenly. Thank you for your care." Oda Nobuo bowed again at a 45-degree angle.

I should have said something like we first met, but now is not the right time.

After the two sides introduced themselves, Oda Shingo learned that Namikaze Yukaku's father was called Namikaze Daiya, a name full of the style of the 1970s and 1980s.

Both sides seemed to have deliberately avoided yesterday's situation and remained very friendly in keeping silent about Namikaze Youhe's gift of the crystal.

"It's very cold in the outer hall at this time of year. Let's go to the inner hall to talk." Mrs. Xuanzi very kindly invited Oda Shingo to come in.

The inner hall is designed as a kotatsu.

As a result, the atmosphere between the two sides immediately became much better.

Eh? It seems to be going much smoother than expected? Oda Shingo was surprised.

I secretly glanced at Youhe who was sitting on the left side of the kotatsu, and what I got in return was a look as affectionate as a lake.

Namikaze Youhe seemed to be saying: Isn’t it good to treat you like this?
Oda Shingo was puzzled. What happened last night? Did Namikaze Yuzuru convince her parents?
