I, who tortured the readers, was knocked to the ground by them!

My name is Sakurai Mei, and I'm ten years old.

[Because I'm already in third grade and have learned many words, my teacher has started teaching me how to keep a diary!]

My aunt, Koki, also told me that keeping a diary is a good habit, so I've recently started to consistently write in my diary every day.

Where should I begin my diary?

[Let me first introduce my dad. My dad is a cartoonist, composer, and screenwriter. Animations he helped produce are frequently shown on TV; he's a very talented person.]

I don't quite understand my dad's cartoons, and my moms don't allow my brother, sister, and me to watch too many of them.

But anyway, I'm really amazing! Because a lot of people say I'm the daughter of a rich man, a pampered princess! That's mainly thanks to my dad.

However, Dad stays home most of the time now and rarely works. I asked Ruoye's mom if it was because some people online say bad things about Dad.

[Wakaba's mother said the reason was because her father loved her very much and liked to spend more time with her, while Shion's mother said that it was all her father's own fault, and that he deserved to suffer.]

[Dad would gently stroke his hair and say, "This hardship is a form of happiness."]

The exterior of the villa in the suburbs of Tokyo looks unassuming, but upon closer inspection, it is found to be unusually large, or more accurately, an estate.

The little girl sat on the table and chairs in the garden, swinging her legs and making soft scratching sounds as she scribbled her pen on the paper.

In the bright sunlight, her light brown hair seemed to turn golden again, just like her mother's.

After writing a long passage, the little girl picked up her pen, rested it on her chin, and turned to look at the pufferfish swimming in the middle of the garden pond.

She was struggling, seemingly unsure of what to write.

The teachers said that you can just write down whatever you want to record in your diary.

But Sakurai Mei felt that this was her first notebook entry in her life, and she shouldn't be so hasty.

She places great importance on rituals, just like her mother, Wakaba, who left her quarter British heritage to him.

"Everyone else has koi in their ponds, so why do I have pufferfish?"

Sakurai Mei pouted, muttering in confusion.

Speaking of which, there are always many differences between my family and my classmates' families.

For example, she is one-quarter mixed race.

For example, her older brother's surname wasn't Sakurai, but Hase, and he always lived in Kyoto.

"Indeed, the most worthwhile thing to write about is one's own family! And my family is definitely worth writing about!"

Thinking this, she picked up her pen again and continued writing on the paper.

[My family is really strange, completely different from others! First of all, like everyone else, I only have one dad, but I have three moms!]

Every time I fill in my parents' names, I don't know whether I should write Sakurai Wakaba, Sakurai Shion, or Sakurai Yuki.

"Oh, sis, I already told you that we have three mothers in our family, we can't just spread that around!"

Just as Sakurai Mei was engrossed in writing, another girl with small tiger teeth and a grin came over.

Staring at the words written by Sakurai Mei, she said solemnly, "If Wakaba's mother finds out, you're finished!"

Sakurai Mei turned to look at her younger sister, who was a year younger than her, and immediately covered her notebook with her hand: "Sakurai Xi! Who gave you permission to peek into my diary! This diary is only for me to read, so it's definitely not considered publicizing it!"

Sakurai Hiro is Sakurai Mei's younger sister, but there is no trace of European features on her face.

She is a pure Asian girl.

Although everyone shares three mothers and one father, and the fathers and mothers treat everyone basically the same, there are still differences among them.

Just like Yuki's mother, Hiroyuki Sakurai has a great voice that can draw cheers from everyone as soon as she opens her mouth to sing.

But every time Sakurai Mei sang, she only received comfort and encouragement in return.
Sakurai Xi tilted her head, her eyes crinkling, and smiled sweetly: "Is that so? That's a pity. I was going to use your weakness to blackmail you into buying me ice cream!"

Sakurai Mei rolled her eyes at Sakurai Xi: "I'm the older sister, you know! How can you threaten your older sister like that? Be careful, or I'll tell Wakaba's mother that you've gone astray!"

Sakurai Xi smiled innocently and said, "I was just joking! If I really wanted to threaten you, I wouldn't use something like this! You've done so many bad things."

Sakurai Ming said, "I always have a feeling that you, Xiaoxi, will become one of those bad women in movies in the future!"

Sakurai Nozomi didn't seem to mind her sister's words at all: "So what? I've heard Yuki's mother and father say many times that they are bad women, but everyone still likes Yuki's mother, doesn't they?"

Sakurai Mei nodded: "What's wrong with Yuki's mother? She's clearly..."

Sakurai Hiro: "Ah, you mean Wakaba's mom, right? I've caught you red-handed again!"

Sakurai Mei said, "Annoying! I'm going back to writing in my diary!"

Sakurai Hiroshi picked up his pen and continued writing:

[Wakaba's mother is the person everyone fears most! She's the one who calls the shots in everything at home!]

If you make a mistake and get scolded by your dad or the other two moms, usually someone will step in to smooth things over. But if Ruoye's mom catches you doing that, you're done for!

[Because even Dad gets scolded by Wakaba's mom all the time! The other two moms also listen to Wakaba's mom!]

If I had to describe her, she'd probably be the queen of the house!

However, Wakaba's mother works very hard. Although they have a housekeeper, she still cooks all the meals herself, oversees everyone's studies, and occasionally helps with housework alongside the housekeeper.

[By the way, Wakaba's mom's cooking is the best! Yuki's mom's cooking is also good, and Shion's mom.]

Speaking of Yuki's mom, my brother, sister, and I all love her the most!

[Yuki's mother used to be a big star, and she sang beautifully! But she's semi-retired now, only occasionally singing for works related to her father!]

[Yuki's mom loves everyone the most. If anyone gets into trouble, everyone goes to Yuki's mom first, and she'll help them find a solution!]

[If we want any gifts, we always ask Yuki's mom first! But sometimes Dad gets them for us, and everyone says she spoils us too much! Sometimes even I think so.]

[Oh, and there's Shion's mother. Shion's mother has always been a pampered young lady, and now she's a famous painter. She's always very strict in teaching us many things.]

However, we all know that Shion's mother is actually easier to talk to than Yuki's mother!

[Last time I overheard Shion's mom and dad whispering in their room. Her dad said that she's just all talk and no action, but actually a very easy target who loves to be bullied and is a hypocrite!]

To be honest, I thought Dad was going to bully Shion's mom because I heard him say he was going to tie her up with a rope. I quickly pushed open the door to try and stop them.

When Shion's mother saw me come in, she quickly stuffed a handful of pocket money into my hand and told me to go out and play.

[By the way, it seems like Shion's mom is pregnant again. She said that this time the baby won't have the same surname as the older brother, Hase, but will share the same surname as everyone else, Sakurai.]

Sakurai Mei kept writing about things at home on paper, and each time she wrote a long piece.

Sakurai Hiroshi, getting bored, yawned and stretched: "My brother's arriving in Tokyo tonight! What should I give him? I haven't seen him for months~"

Sakurai Mei said, "Although it doesn't matter what I give him, my older brother is just like Shion's mother, he's a very easy person to deal with. Of course, even though he's very happy, he won't admit it."

Sakurai Xi nodded in agreement: "Grandpa Hanase was like that too, Grandpa Sato was pretty much the same, and so was Grandpa. Are all men like that?"

"I don't know. Anyway, Dad isn't like that. He's very afraid of Grandpa and Grandfather. He always feels like they've done something bad."

Sakurai Mei nodded, indeed there were many things she couldn't understand.

"What are you two doing? Dad and your brother will be back soon! Aren't you going to tidy up? Also, we're having a party tonight, have you finished your homework? I'm going to check it later!"

Just as the two were wondering, the blonde woman wearing an apron stretched out half of her body to remind them.

Another woman with short, neat hair came out of the room and said, "Tomorrow is a rest day too, so there's no need to rush to finish it today. Besides, they haven't seen their brother for so long, they must be very excited right now and won't be able to concentrate on their homework."

After saying that, Yuki Mizuno—oh no, Yuki Sakurai—gave her two daughters a wink.

The two girls were quick-witted and immediately understood.

Sakurai Hiro said, "Yes, I like Hase-nii the most."

Sakurai Mei quickly nodded in agreement: "We're discussing what gift to give our brother!"

The beautiful married woman, now known as Sakurai Wakaba, shook her head helplessly and went back into the room: "I never imagined you would be such a doting father."

Yuki said, "There's nothing I can do. You're all I have left in my world. You're my everything."

Wakaba turned her head and raised her hand, giving Yuki a light tap on the forehead: "Don't say such harsh things! Everyone has overcome so many difficulties to achieve this harmonious scene."

Yuki covered her head, secretly mimicking Wakaba's signature move, and stuck out her tongue: "Sorry."

However, after a pause, he apologized again solemnly: "I'm sorry, I was the one who did the bad thing, I was the most despicable one."

Ruoye said, "The children are so grown up now, how can you still say such things? Xiaoming and Xiaoxi are both my biological children, and they are also yours. Stop calling my children's mother despicable, okay?"

Yuki nodded gently: "Yes, Wakaba, you're so gentle."

Wakaba smiled and complained, "The kids all say I'm the fiercest! I shouldn't have made you promise me in front of my husband's hospital room that I would take care of everything at home from now on!" Yuki shrugged, "It would have been like this even if you hadn't said it. You're destined to be the matriarch of the Sakurai family. I can't bear to scold the kids. As for Shion, that girl is just a little older than me."

Ruoye nodded in agreement, returning to the kitchen to chop vegetables as she said, "Indeed, but it's hard to believe she was the first among us to become a mother, and she even had two, and..."

Yuki laughed: "You actually went pretty far, didn't you? That girl looks like a dignified young lady, but she's actually the most lecherous one. She's all talk and no action, but she has masochistic tendencies. In manga terms, how should I put it? A little devil? No, a big devil?"

Upon hearing this, Ruoye retorted, "Wow, don't say things like this in public! Discussing this kind of thing in public makes you sound like a middle-aged woman. You're an idol, this isn't something you should be saying."

Yuki also entered the kitchen and skillfully helped Sato Wakaba with the cooking.

"Idols are already aunties. And even idols, once they're over 30, their words and actions become very greasy and vulgar! Besides, I'm the oldest person in this building."

"But you still look like a beautiful woman in your early twenties!"

"Oh, really? But you look prettier, Wakaba!"

"Really? Everyone says Europeans don't age well, and I'm just an ordinary housewife."

"Please, if you were an ordinary housewife, how could you possibly be the first to win over that scumbag? I give up, I was the one who got there first."

"Haha, they're still using this meme!"

Sakurai Itsuki gripped the steering wheel, slowly pulling his Maybach to a stop at the service area.

Seeing the Tokyo road signs appear before him, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally, I'm going back to Tokyo.

The woman next to him, whose belly was already slightly protruding, asked, "Why are you sighing? Are you that afraid of my father? Weren't you quite generous when we first met?"

Sakurai Itsuki didn't answer his wife's question. Instead, he turned to his son behind the chair and asked, "You brat, weren't you going to the bathroom? Go on, and bring me and your mother a bottle of water when you come back."

Yuze Rui was used to his father's not-so-polite manner and nodded: "Understood, Father. Would you like it room temperature or hot?"

Sakurai Itsuki waved his hand: "It's hot, go on."

Sitting upright in the back seat of the Maybach, Yuzuru nodded slightly, then removed her seatbelt and stepped out of the car with steady steps.

Sakurai Itsuki tilted his head and looked at Hasegawa Rui, who was only eleven years old but already exuded nobility and handsomeness. He couldn't help but look up and say, "I can hardly believe this is my son. He doesn't look much like me at all."

"What nonsense are you talking about! Who else is his biological father besides you? Don't you know perfectly well what happened that night?"

The child's mother immediately frowned, expressing her dissatisfaction.

Sakurai Itsuki quickly replied, "I was praising him, saying he's even more handsome than your husband, a true aristocratic young master. You have to admit, your father-in-law has a way with words."

Upon hearing this, Sakurai Shion said, "There's nothing we can do. He's the future successor of the Hase family. Do you think he might actually hate this path, just like me?"

Sakurai Itsuki said, "I don't know. He'll have to decide for himself in the future. He can do whatever he wants. Anyway, his grandfather is actually all bark and no bite. He'll definitely soften his heart when the time comes."

Shion said, "Oh dear, I'm worried he won't know what to do! What if he grows up later?"

Shion is still the same; she always has an amazing ability to fill in the blanks, and she is always worrying and agonizing over the people she cares about.

When we first met, she seemed like a cold and aloof young lady, but now she's a wife and mother who worries about her child's future every day and even nags her husband to the point that he finds it a bit annoying.

Sakurai Itsuki retorted irritably, "Don't worry about it. The hardest thing he's ever experienced in his life is American food. Even if he's not exactly living on the finish line, he basically has no worries. Countless people envy him. He can do whatever he wants. Besides, what's there for a boy to be so dramatic about?"

Shiyin retorted, "What kind of talk is that? I've discovered that you, you bastard, are completely biased towards girls and dislike boys! Don't you worry about your daughter all the time? Besides, your daughter is practically a young lady, isn't she? How come you treat your son so carelessly?"

Although the Hase family appears to be aristocratic, their style seems different from Sakurai Itsuki's.

In reality, Sakurai Itsuki has succeeded through years of continuous management of the company and copyrights, coupled with a series of successful investment projects.

Sakurai Itsuki's net worth is already enough to put him in the ranks of the wealthy; his annual income is enough for an ordinary family to live on for several lifetimes.

Otherwise, his two fathers-in-law would never agree to such an absurd thing.

Sakurai Itsuki can at least prove that although he is a womanizer, he can still provide his daughter with a comfortable material life.

Of course, despite all that, he still suffered a lot and learned a lesson for it back then.

As a result, Sakurai Itsuki now feels inexplicably depressed and nervous when he meets his father-in-law.

When confronted with accusations of "favoring girls over boys," Sakurai Itsuki joked, "That's different. Daughters are lovers from a past life, and sons are enemies from a past life!"

Upon hearing this, Shion immediately pouted in dissatisfaction.

She adores her precious son.

Sakurai Itsuki couldn't help but sigh, "It was really the right decision to let Arui be raised by his maternal grandfather. It's a good thing he wasn't placed with you."

Shion: "What do you mean?"

Sakurai Itsuki: "A doting mother spoils her son! If I had him by your side, my son would probably be ruined. Who knows what kind of spoiled brat he would become? Where in my family would I find such an outstanding young master?"

Upon hearing this, Shiyin hissed, then hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but stopped herself.

Finally, he took out his phone and started typing away.

Despite being married for many years, the two of them still maintain this little bit of romance.

After all, even though she was already a middle-aged wife, she still maintained a lovely heart, just as Wakaba said.

There are many things I'm still too embarrassed to say directly.

Sakurai Itsuki opened his phone and looked at the doujinshi artist account that hadn't been active for many years, which was constantly sending him private messages with vulgar language. He couldn't help but smile knowingly.

At the end, Hasegawa Shion still used that standard line: "I'm going to rape you sooner or later!"

Sakurai Itsuki replied with a smile to the classic "sweating soybean" comment.

Then he reached out and gently touched the belly of the person next to him: "You're going to be pregnant again soon, you can't do it anytime soon."

Shion slapped Sakurai Itsuki's hand away: "Hmph, are you just going to wait and see?"

Sakurai Itsuki said, "Then I'll be waiting. You always say you're going to force yourself on me, but every time you end up crying instead."

Shiyin quickly told him to shut up, warning him in a low voice, "You scoundrel, aren't you afraid the child will hear? Don't say things like that!"

Sakurai Itsuki said, "He hasn't come yet! Besides, Arui's personality is exactly the same as yours. Maybe he's just serious on the surface."

Shion: "Even when I was little, I was really serious, okay! Drawing that kind of thing only happened after I went to high school, although when I did it, it was at a professional level."

Sakurai Itsuki: "Let's put that aside for now. Why do you keep calling me 'you' and 'bastard' all day? Can't you be a little more affectionate?"

Shion: "I don't want to be all lovey-dovey in front of kids. I'm not Yuki."

As the two were talking, Yuze Rui opened the car door and got back into the car.

She handed two bottles of hot drinks to her parents, while also holding two pink gift boxes in her hand.

Sakurai Itsuki asked, "What are those two boxes in your hands?"

Hasegawa Rui said, "Although those two younger sisters are a bit annoying, it's only proper for an older brother to choose a gift. I bought some random things beforehand. I didn't think it was necessary to buy a gift box, but the store happened to have one, so I bought it."

Sakurai Itsuki nodded, instantly understanding.

He told himself he needed to get off the bus to use the restroom, but his original plan was actually to go to the store to buy a gift box.

Before that, most people felt that putting a gift in a gift box was too formal and didn't quite fit his excuse that "I just bought it casually."

But he was also worried that his sisters would be disappointed because they didn't have pretty gift boxes, as he knew his sisters valued a sense of ritual.

So I kept agonizing over it.

Sakurai Itsuki gave Shion a wink, as if to say: [See? This kid's troublesome personality is exactly like yours, a total tsundere.]

Shion rolled her eyes at Sakurai Itsuki: "Let's go, honey. Wakaba and the others are still waiting at home."

Despite having just expressed her refusal, she changed how she addressed him.

"Got it, honey."

Sakurai Itsuki nodded, and couldn't help but smile happily.

This guy is really something, he's over thirty years old and still so cute.

The Maybach started slowly and sped off towards Tokyo.

Over there awaited him were his family, who loved him deeply, and a happy future life together.

Compared to those things, my accident and the suffering I endured afterwards were all insignificant.

It's so wonderful to be together.
