The counterattack system arrived 20 years earlier, and the sister next door originally wanted to cul

"And~"

Nakano Sami's lips curled up into a delighted smile. She was already prepared for a flank attack. "The relationship between Tokyo University and Tokyo Arts Institute isn't as bad as it is with Kyoto University."

"If I were to go to the University of Tokyo for an exchange program and give lectures, I'm sure the University of Tokyo wouldn't refuse."

Chihiro Sasagawa was stunned. She never thought that this guy would go to the University of Tokyo and snatch people away directly.

How come even his own students were implicated?

Nakano——

You are such a despicable person.

In addition to Professor Chihiro Sasagawa and Sayami Nakano who came specifically for Wakaba Takanashi... there was also a pair of guests who came to Tokoetsu Private School that Wakaba Takanashi could never have imagined.

Anyone who has been on stage knows that if the stage lights are too bright, it is difficult to see the audience below.

but--

When Takanashi Wakaba finished singing the last line and the whole audience burst into applause, Takanashi Wakaba still clearly...captured her parents standing next to teacher Akatsuka Sayuri at the back of the gymnasium.

And... the tears in the parents' eyes.

Takanashi Akisui was sincerely happy and pleased for Wakaba standing radiantly on the stage.

Seeing the girl freeze after seeing the two of them, Kotori Yui took her husband's hand and waved vigorously towards Kotori Yui Wakaba. Although her father looked reluctant, after seeing Kotori Yui Wakaba's outstanding performance, he slowly and solemnly put down the cigarette in his hand and stubbed it out between his fingers.

In front of Ruoye, he still wanted to be more solemn.

There was just one thing that still worried him.

He was genuinely happy and proud of Ruoye's current situation, treating her like his own daughter. Therefore, he couldn't be like Qiushui, that unreliable guy, who, after seeing Ruohua still hadn't found a partner, tried to push Ruoye onto her.

We should always consider the children's opinions, right?

Ruoye is always a very reserved child.

He is not good at speaking, and when Ruohua is not in Izu, he can only drag the little Ruoye to watch the fireworks.

The father and daughter can watch the sea and fireworks all night long without saying a word.

Sometimes, Yuxing Kotori even feels guilty, wondering if Ruoye's introverted and quiet nature was learned from him.

He understands Wakaba.

I know Ruoye is unwilling and reluctant.

But if it is her parents' 'request' and 'hope', she will never refuse.

Even if...it's such a lifelong event.

But Kotori Yuuki hopes that Wakaba can boldly express her true thoughts.

This time, he wanted to have a good talk with Ruoye.

Volume 353: Part Never underestimate the extent to which an old father is obsessed with his daughters [Part ]

Lifting skirts.

After leaving the stage, Takanashi Wakaba ran straight towards her parents.

She ran in front, and Lin Xiaqing chased her behind, holding a pair of shoes in her hands.

Lin Xiaqing didn't know about the "Qi" ability of Takanashi Wakaba. After all... "Qi" was a bit too beyond common sense even in the other world.

Lin Xiaqing only knew that Ruoye was not wearing shoes.

It was okay to go barefoot on the stage, after all, there was carpet on the floor, and the gymnasium was heated to make the performance more pleasing so that the girls could wear skirts without fear.

But...the wooden floor is still a bit cold for my feet.

Kotori Wakaba walked straight through the crowd and threw herself into Kotori Qiu Shui's arms.

She is a child who craves care.

No matter how long I've been away from home, I always want to be in my parents' arms and hope to be the center of attention like my elder sister, not just because of the gossip and comments from people around me.

More importantly...I hope my parents can be proud of me.

She also wants to be the "sister" that her parents and others call her.

She never dreamed that her father and mother would come here, but when she thought about it carefully, it seemed completely reasonable.

Although her father, Yuyuki Kotori, is taciturn, he is always by her side.

Although he doesn't understand girls' minds.

After Wakaka Takanashi left Izu, he was the one who stayed with Wakaba Takanashi when Wakaka Takanashi was with Wakaba.

Yuxing Kotori looked at Ruoye who threw herself into his wife's arms, and awkwardly retracted his outstretched hand.

That’s right...it’s normal that Ruoye likes Qiu Shui more.

Moreover, I had just finished smoking and my hands still smelled of cigarettes.

Ruoye has never liked smoking since she was a child.

But just as he withdrew his hand, he saw Ruoye rushing towards him. He felt a soft touch on his cheek. His daughter's cheek was softer than he thought. Ruoye rubbed against his face, and Kotori Yuxing subconsciously wanted to push Ruoye away a little.

Although he had shaved, the tough stubble was still there. What if it rubbed against Ruoye?

My father's embarrassment came into view.

"dad..."

"Why are you here with my mom?" Xiao Niao You Ruoye stood on tiptoe, her voice choked.

"You kid." Xiao Niaoyou Qiushui put her hands on her hips, "Ruoye finally gets a chance to go on stage. If I miss it, I will regret it for the rest of my life."

"And..." Mother said seriously, "Didn't Ruoye say that she wanted to bring her classmates with her when she went home this time?"

"If you have a lot of luggage, it will be very inconvenient for you and Ruohua."

Then--

Xiao Niao You Xing and Xiao Niao You Qiu Shui saw Lin Xiaqing jogging over with Ruoye's shoes in her hands.

Lin Xiaqing slowly stopped a few meters away from Kotori Wakaba.

Ruoye's parents had visited once before, so Xia Qing naturally recognized them.

She was a little hesitant.

Because of her deeper understanding with Ruoye...or to put it more embarrassingly, she was the one who got to know Ruoye better and better, Lin Xiaqing was somewhat hesitant when facing her future 'future parents-in-law'.

But Ruoye's shoes are the big deal.

Lin Xiaqing adheres to the traditional ideas of the East Country. She believes that one will catch a cold if he does not wear shoes. However, she still carries Ruoye's shoes and approaches, trying to maintain her gentle image as she greets Kotori Ruoye's parents. In her heart, she keeps wondering whether her makeup and dress today are appropriate.

If I had known I wouldn't have stayed up so late last night... and -

Where has Sister Ruohua gone now?

Obviously, Wakaka Takanashi is her biggest "competitor", but at this time, Lin Xiaqing is hoping for Wakaka Takanashi's appearance.

Even if that Shino comes over to help share the firepower, that would be fine.

Mother...ahem, when Mother Ruoye looked at her, Lin Xiaqing always felt that something was amiss.

She originally wanted to put the shoes on Ruoye herself.

But in front of Ruoye's parents, Lin Xiaqing still obediently prepared to hand over the shoes.

Yuuki Kotori looked at his wife.

He always felt strange.

If Qiu Shui wanted to bring Ruoye and Ruohua together, why was his gaze towards this girl so ambiguous?

Xiao Niao You Qiu Shui said that a fool like you would never understand.

The girl in front of him looked at Ruoye with such delicate eyes that it seemed to wrap around her, and the awkward look she gave him was not what an ordinary landlord should have.

As for...the relationship between Ruoye and Ruohua.

So what.

Since Ruoye is naturally beautiful, it is normal for her to be loved.

And...Xiao Niao You Qiu Shui's lips curled up, it's hard to say who is favored by whom.

　She was very grateful to Lin Xiaqing for taking care of Ruoye, but she had no intention of taking the shoes from Lin Xiaqing.

Kotori Yuuga was concerned about Wakaba's health. He was simple and direct. He carried Wakaba Kotori on his shoulders very lightly, just like when he carried Wakaba to watch performances at the shrine when they were children.

The girl's little feet hung in front of her father's chest, then raised slightly towards Lin Xiaqing.

Gumbling—

Lin Xiaqing swallowed, feeling that Ruoye seemed particularly attractive at this moment.

But after all, Ruoye's health is more important.

Seeing that her aunt and uncle really had no intention of taking the shoes from her, Lin Xiaqing had no choice but to bite the bullet and do it herself.

She stood in front of Xiaoniao You Ruoye, the girl's white and slender feet swaying gently in front of her. Lin Xiaqing lowered her head, held Xiaoniao You Ruoye's small feet, and put on shoes and socks for her.

At the same time...her cheeks were visibly getting redder.

"Why is Sister Xia Qing's face so red?" Xiao Niaoyou Ruoye still wanted to "make trouble".

"Warm...the heater is too hot." Lin Xiaqing held Ruoye's little feet, and her fingertips seemed to be trembling.

"Is that right?"

"That's right."

"Oh~" Takanashi Wakaba pretended to believe it.

On the side, Kotori Wakaba's parents looked at Lin Xiaqing's familiar look as she put shoes on Wakaba, and they actually had some clear answers in their hearts.

Xiao Niao You Ruoye sat on her father's shoulders, then stretched out her arms towards Lin Xiaqing. Lin Xiaqing understood what she meant, hugged Xiao Niao You Ruoye and took her off Xiao Niao You Xing's shoulders.

Then... she saw the 'sense of loss' in her uncle's eyes.

broken--

I must have done something wrong!!!

It seems... one should never underestimate the degree to which a seemingly taciturn old father is obsessed with his daughter.

Lin Xiaqing's heart exploded sharply.

But since she had already hugged her, she could only bite the bullet and hold Ruoye in her arms.

"Wakaka-san...where the hell are you!!!"

Volume 354: Part Wakaba's Girlfriend is Beyond Imagination [I]

Meet the parents.

One of the most terrifying topics ever to come to light.

Especially...under the premise that I may not be such a "first wife" yet.

Looking at the old father in front of him who seemed to be still feeling lost for his daughter, Lin Xiaqing felt that Ruoye in his arms seemed to have become a hot potato.

But as long as it was Ruoye, let alone a "hot potato", even if it was red-hot charcoal, Lin Xiaqing would dare to grit his teeth and swallow it.

Carefully putting Ruoye down, then holding the girl's slender little hand, Lin Xiaqing looked around subconsciously, wondering where Sister Ruohua had run off to at this critical moment.

Wakaka Takanashi saw Wakaba jogging from the backstage to the back of the gymnasium with her skirt lifted up. She smiled politely at Kaoru Uesugi beside her, stood up with her hands on her knees, and then... after seeing her father and mother who seemed to have "suddenly" appeared there, she also showed an expression of some surprise.

She did tell her mother about her upcoming itinerary.

The final exams are over, and after Wakaba's school's New Year's performance is over, she will take Wakaba back to Izu.

Out of worry and concern for her daughters, the mother asked about the approximate time of the New Year's performance and when Ruoye and Ruohua would be back.

But Wakaka Takanashi never expected that her parents would take time out to come to Tokyo during such a busy time at the end of the year.

That was the treatment that even Wakaka Takanashi didn't receive back then.

Yuuka Kotori and Shusui Kotori only went to watch Wakaka Kotori's games when she led the team to the national competition.
