Tokyo: Starting with a fake boyfriend

"Dad, what's wrong?"

After a few beeps, the call was connected. Before Yamabuki Tomoya could even speak, he heard his daughter's sweet voice.

But before he could even feel happy, a male voice rang out from beside him:

"My father-in-law's phone call?"

"Xiao Nan, where are you now? Why aren't you home for dinner yet?"

Hearing that damn blond guy calling him father-in-law again, Tomoya Yamabuki's blood pressure spiked, but he still managed to suppress his anger.

"I'm eating beef bowl at Yoshinoya... I told my mom I wouldn't be eating there tonight."

"Yoshinoya?"

When he found out what his daughter was eating, Tomoya Yamabuki was so angry he almost laughed.

That damn blond guy went on a date with his precious daughter to such a low-class, cheap fast food restaurant.

"Uh-huh."

What time are you planning to go home?

"Before 10 o'clock."

"No, you have to go home after you finish eating."

Upon hearing this time, Yamabuki Tomoya refused to agree at all.

It's only a little past 6 p.m., more than three hours until 10 p.m. Who knows what that blond guy will do after eating at the fast food restaurant with his precious daughter?

"Hey...no way!"

Minami Yamabuki pouted and complained a little about this request.

"Go home right after you finish eating at Yoshinoya, do you hear me?!"

Because his daughter is always very obedient, Tomoya Yamabuki rarely gets angry with her, but in order to make sure she is okay, he has to use a tough tone.

"do not want!"

However, his attitude was firm, and Yamabuki Minami was not to be outdone. She responded with a nod and hung up the phone.

"She actually hung up on me?"

Upon hearing the voice beside him, Tomoya Yamabuki froze for a moment, his fists clenching.

"Honey, let me talk to Xiaonan."

Seeing him so angry that his face turned red and he was gritting his teeth, Yamabuki, who was sitting at the dining table, spoke up.

After saying that, she picked up the phone on the table and started making a call:

"Xiao Nan, go home after dinner."

"Your dad is very angry. Go home early, okay?"

"it is good."

"Uh-huh."

Yamabuki Yuki didn't turn on speakerphone, so Yamabuki Tomoya could only hear her voice from one side.

"Alright, Xiao Nan, go home after you finish dinner. Let's eat."

Soon, Yamabuki put down her phone with satisfaction.

"..."

Although the result was good, Tomoya Yamabuki was still very angry.

It's true what they say, daughters grow up and leave home; his precious daughter actually hung up on him over some blond guy. He's so angry!

Dinner ended quickly because there was too much food and we couldn't finish it all.

But it's not a big problem. Leftovers can be refrigerated and used as an ingredient for breakfast or a late-night snack.

After dinner, Tomoya Yamabuki returned to the living room and sat down to wait.

Waiting is always agonizing. He sat on the sofa, glancing up at the wall clock every now and then.

"Di!"

It wasn't until 8 p.m., when Yamabuki Tomoya was getting impatient, that the smart lock finally unlocked at the front door.

"I am back."

The next moment, my darling daughter's soft, melodious voice, like heavenly music, rang out.

Noticing the commotion, Yamabuki Satoshi did not go to greet him, but instead sat on the sofa with a straight face, crossed his legs and arms.

Given that his daughter was becoming increasingly rebellious after the phone call was hung up on, as a father, he felt he had to make his stance clear.

If he didn't go to greet her, someone else would. Yamabuki walked over.

"Welcome back... Oh, Shiratori-kun, are you here to visit?"

"Excuse me, mother-in-law."

"That damn blond guy, he dared to come here even though he knew I was home?!"

Yamabuki Tomoya, who had been listening intently, heard the annoying sound and immediately jumped up as if his backside was on fire.

Meanwhile, Shiratori Osamu, who was returning home with Yamabuki Minami, greeted her and then fixed his gaze on Yamabuki Yuki.

Unlike her outfit the day before yesterday, Mrs. Yamabuki wore a black turtleneck short-sleeved top and a striped pleated skirt today. The black top accentuated her long, slender neck and delicate face, making them appear exceptionally fair and tender.

Moreover, her long, glossy black hair was no longer hanging down naturally, but was tied into a small braid and placed in front of her shoulder, a classic dangerous wife hairstyle.

Her outfit was very conservative, as if she had anticipated his arrival and deliberately concealed her skin, appearing reserved and aloof. However, given her gentle and graceful nature, this attire only accentuated her gentleness and beauty.

Beneath her white striped accordion skirt, her delicate, fair feet wore a pair of pretty white slippers. Her soft, slender toes were slightly curled up, hinting at her inner tension.

As he looked her up and down, Yamabuki, who was pretending to welcome him, was indeed very nervous, and even a little embarrassed.

Because she had spoken with her daughter alone before, she already knew that the innocence that Shiratori Osamu showed when they first met was an act.

This boy, who is the same age as the daughter, is not the innocent boy who is dumbfounded when he sees a beautiful woman, but a bad boy full of evil intentions.

However, he has one good quality: he is very professional and gentlemanly... and very willingly requests to sleep on the sofa.

"What are you looking at? Don't look!"

Just then, Yamabuki Tomoya arrived at the battlefield, shielding his wife with his body and confronting Shiratori Osamu with his head held high like a rooster.

"Good evening, father-in-law."

Staring at his mother-in-law, he finally got to see her. Shiratori turned his head and greeted her with a smile.

"Who wants to say 'hello' to you? You're not welcome in this house, get out!"

When Yamabuki Tomoya heard him call him "father-in-law," he got angry and scolded and chased him away in a bad mood.

"Father-in-law, do you hate me that much?"

Faced with his anger, Shiratori Osamu's face darkened, and he looked very sad.

"nonsense!"

Seeing that he was sad made Tomoya Yamabuki even happier, and he nodded without hesitation.

Seeing his unforgiving attitude, Shiratori Osamu looked at the person beside him and sighed dejectedly, "Konan, my father-in-law doesn't welcome me, I'd better leave."

"Dad, don't yell at him!"

The next moment, Minami Yamabuki took his arm and took a step forward.

"no……"

Seeing his beloved daughter jump out like a Pokémon sprite to protect the blond-haired man, a scene so familiar that it made Yamabuki Tomoya furious.

Chapter 43 Madam, you didn't want this either...

In Pokémon battles, if you encounter a situation where your type is weak to a Pokémon, you simply have no chance of winning.

Successful people are good at summarizing the reasons for their failures and mistakes.

Anger, hatred, resentment, hesitation, and forbearance!

Having learned his lesson from being completely overwhelmed by his daughter's trump card of running away from home the night before, Tomoya Yamabuki, after struggling internally, decided against a direct confrontation.

My daughter is hopelessly infatuated with love, and the only way to bring her to her senses is to use gentleness and approach her from other angles.

"Ugh……"

Tomoya Yamabuki's expression changed a lot. His lips moved several times, but in the end he didn't say anything. He shook his head, sighed, and pulled his wife away.

Seeing the disappointed and helpless look in her father's eyes before he turned away, Yamabuki Minami, who had jumped out to confront him, suddenly felt a pang of guilt, wondering if she had gone too far.

"Excuse me, father-in-law."

Noticing the change in her expression, Shiratori Osamu spoke up.

"Don't you dare call me father-in-law! I haven't approved of you yet!"

Yamabuki Tomoya, whose back view had been rather forlorn, couldn't help but react upon hearing this address.

Damn you, you little blondie, you just wait!

When Detective Mori secretly takes embarrassing photos of the blond-haired boy cheating, that will be the time for him to turn the tables.

"That's all an act by him. Don't take it to heart. Your dad is a sly old fox. Don't be fooled by him."

One sentence broke his composure. Shiratori Osamu lowered his head and whispered a reminder to Yamabuki Minami.

"But I can't tell if he's acting or if it's real..."

Minami Yamabuki had heard this lesson several times before returning home, but she still couldn't help feeling heartbroken whenever she saw her father's sad expression.

"come on."

Shiratori Osamu didn't give her any further instructions, but simply encouraged her.

Humans have an incredibly strong capacity for empathy, especially those with gentle personalities.

Just as parents feel sorry for their daughters, daughters also feel sorry for their parents; it's an instinct driven by emotion.

However, the biggest difference between humans and other animals is self-control; even when driven by instinct, humans can forcibly restrain themselves.

Because Yamabuki was forcibly taken away, this time Yamabuki Minami helped Shiratori Osamu find a male escort.

What are we going to do next?

Minami Yamabuki found him slippers. Instead of leaning against the wall and lifting her legs to change her shoes as usual, she turned around and sat on the connection between the entrance hall and the corridor, which had a height difference of several tens of centimeters, and reached out to take off her shoes.

The reason for doing this is naturally because there are members of the opposite sex present, and standing with one leg raised might result in accidental exposure.

"Just as planned, they taught me how to learn."

As a man, Shiratori Osamu was more casual, taking off his shoes with his heels touching.

"Don't you want to talk to Dad for a while longer?"

"The more you act, the more flaws you reveal."

Hearing this, Minami Yamabuki nodded, asked no further questions, and began to recall what had happened before.

They left the internet cafe at 17:06 PM. Why did they wait until now to go home? It was actually a strategy.

According to Shiratori-san, this was to further intensify her father's sense of crisis.

He has to go home early to avoid being broken into, and he also has to make sure his daughter is home and out with her boyfriend.

As for what they did outside during those few hours.

Actually, she didn't do anything. She just took the subway with Shiratori-san and went to Shiratori's apartment.

Unfortunately, Shiratori-san didn't let her in, but instead made her wait outside. She found a change of clothes in just a few minutes.

After that, they took the subway to Shibuya, wandered around the streets, browsed bookstores to buy stationery, and bought two cups of milk tea... Taking advantage of the opportunity when no one was watching, she did another desensitization training.

Wearing her white socks and slippers, Minami Yamabuki led Osamu Shiratori down the corridor toward their room.

"Minami, Shiratori-kun, would you like something to drink?"

Seeing them pass through the living room, Yamabuki, who was sitting in front of the sofa, stood up and asked.
