Chapter 236 – 15.15 Reika’s Parents 2
– Pair, pair, pair–
Someone in the restaurant started clapping.
Then, they clapped one by one, and soon the entire restaurant was filled with applause.
– Clap clap clap clap!
Everyone in the restaurant applauded me. On the other side, a person was stopped by a restaurant employee while trying to film a video.
Was my voice that loud? I didn’t mean this.
Oh dear. You suddenly became a celebrity, right? Originally, he was a popular person.
While I was thinking about that, I sat with the shameless face I could.
“How. There are all these wonderful young people in the world these days.”
Surprisingly, Reika’s mother heard me and took out her handkerchief to wipe away her tears.
It didn’t look like a single drop of blood would come out. After all, you shouldn’t judge people by their appearance alone. Let’s reflect
“Uh hmm. It’s the British royal family. It’s hard to believe it’s a sudden story.”
On the other hand, my father kept his cool.
“Is it possible to prove that Mr. Knives is related to the royal family? Or ask the royal family directly.”
This. Did you come out like that?
“Sorry. My father gave up all his status and rights in England and came to Japan to marry her Japanese mother. So neither do I have any links in England.”
“Okay? It’s too bad. Isn’t that why everything the royal family is saying is meaningless?”
Compared to your sincere appearance, you are relentless.
It showed her father’s will not to hand over her daughter.
“Honey.”
“Father!”
At the sarcastic tone of her father, Reika and her mother simultaneously scold their father.
“No. Because this verification is important. You two stay still.”
My father ignored the women’s complaints and continued the conversation.
“If the royal story is unsubstantiated, shouldn’t the military story be the same? He was a colonel during the disaster. That sounds great, but there’s no way to prove it, right?”
Well done.
“No. I can’t help it because the royal family is a story that ended in my father’s generation, but the military is different because it’s my story.”
I took out the photocopies of the documents I had brought, just in case I needed them.
“Look at this. This document was written and signed by the current Japanese commander, General Arashi.”
A re-enlistment pledge with a terrifying name.
This is the document that old man Arashi forcibly handed over to me.
When I re-enlist, my rank, position, mission, etc. Are all written there. Even the commander’s seal and personal signature.
“Also, these medals prove my activities during the great disaster.”
I then pointed out the medals piled up on my chest and explained them one by one.
“Hun Sam-deung-wook Ilchi Chief. Received this award for helping 27 child soldiers escape from the front line in August during the Great Disaster Campaign and defending the defense line.”
“Hun Yi Deung Uk One-China Square. In October of the same year, I received it for rescuing General Inazuma stranded on the battlefield.”
“Guaranteed Second Class Hun. November of the same year. That year, I was selected and received as one of the top performers during the Great Disaster Campaign.”
“Captain Hun Il Deung Wook. April of the following year. I received it for my contribution in subjugating the γ-type praying mantis, the δ-type rhinoceros beetle, and the ω-type land turtle boss monsters.”
“Guaranteed first class. May of the same year. That year, I was selected and received as one of the top performers during the Great Disaster Campaign.”
“The Order of Non-Government Order. June of the same year. I was selected and received as one of the top contributors to ending the great disaster.”
“These six medals prove it. Records of service can be found at the Great Disaster History Museum.”
To be honest, I can’t remember the name of the medal or the date.
I may be a bit wrong, but I hope you don’t take offense at something so trivial.
“Um…”
Reika’s father looked at the papers and at me with a difficult face.
Was she looking for some nitpicking?
Too bad I’m perfect. Because everything is the truth without a single lie.
“Whoops. I knew very well that Mr. Knives was diligent, unlike a young man these days.”
On the other hand, unlike her father, my mother seems to have taken very good care of me.
The face that looked at me was full of goodwill.
“By the way, how did you become friends with our Reika? There doesn’t seem to be much contact.”
“Yes. In fact, Reika was in the group that bullied my friend at the beginning of school.”
“Knives!”
“Oh. Did Reika do that?”
What are you talking about? With such eyes, Reika pinches my side of her.
I didn’t care and continued the story.
“So I intervened and stopped the bullying, and in the process I found out that Reika wasn’t really that bad of a kid. Her bullying was also forced by another friend of hers. It’s because if you don’t obey, the arrows of bullying will return to Reika.”
“How! I don’t even know such a thing exists…”
It is common for normal parents and rune holder children to lose communication.
There is no choice but to stay apart legally. It must be unavoidable.
“After killing the ringleader, Reika and I naturally became closer. In fact, she came to know that Reika was the kindest girl she was, and now I have come to this position.”
Above all, Reika has big breasts. She caresses well.
Reika’s mother was moved to tears when she heard my story.
“Reika. Sorry. Because her mother didn’t notice.”
“No. Knives is talking nonsense.”
Reika also poked her in the side, but she didn’t look upset.
“Are you okay. I will be responsible for Reika’s past and future.”
“I don’t know. Fool.”
I also sprayed disgusting lines on purpose.
“Thank you, Mr. Knives. Please take good care of our Reika in the future.”
Mother then held my hand tightly.
“Yes? Ah yes. Trust me.”
Even if she slowly pulls her hand away, somehow it doesn’t come off.
What? Reika’s mother is a normal person, right? She’s not really the former, is she?
I looked up in wonder and my mother secretly gave me a wink. Uh huh
“Hmm.”
When my father cleared his throat as if he heard me next to her, my mother let go of my hand.
“I knew very well that Mr. Knives was a man of integrity. It’s too much for our Reika. She will continue to take good care of Reika.”
“Yes. Thank you.”
My father couldn’t find fault with me either.
In the end, it seems that he recognized me as Reika’s husband.
Haha. It’s my victory
I will take good care of the daughter my father has raised with so much effort!
“I was worried that bugs would get around Reika, but I think I’ll be relieved as long as Mr. Knives is by my side.”
My father continued to talk with a smile on his face as if he had some time to spare.
However, it was not a very funny story.
“What if you say bugs?”
“Ah. Speaking of rune holders, isn’t the percentage of criminals strangely high? Especially if you are an academy student, it’s a time when your blood is in full swing. It is the evil of society.”
“Ah yes…”
“Especially among Reika’s peers, the percentage of orphans is high, so there must be a lot of kids like that who haven’t even received a proper home education at home. If there are many such people around Reika, wouldn’t our Reika naturally be adversely affected?”
“…”
“Good families and good parents raise good children. Children who grew up without parents have an obvious background after all… Oh, of course I’m not talking about Mr. Knives.”
“Haha.”
“Because there aren’t many people who grow up as normal orphans as Mr. Knives. So, Knives-kun, take care of those bugs so they don’t wander around Reika.”
“Hehe.”
Laughter came out.
Indeed. Is this how it came out?
“──Anyway, I think I misunderstood.”
I took out the paperwork again.
“Me, Knives?”
Reika’s mother seemed to sense something ominous about the conversation.
But words once spoken could not be taken back.
“I’m sorry, but I’ll pretend that we didn’t talk about it today.”
“… What do you mean?”
Reika’s father staring at me silently.
“There are many orphans in our generation because our parents died fighting to defend you, your family and your country.”
I also glared coldly at the man sitting across from me.
“Such parents… I will reject a human son-in-law like you who insults the dead and treats their descendants as worms!”
I got up from my seat.
“Knives!”
Reika calls me from behind.
I can hear my mother yelling at her father for something, but I walked away without looking back.
“Knives! Wait!”
Reika chasing after me.
As I entered the elevator, Reika came running and jumped into the elevator.
“Knives, I’m sorry! My father… !”
“Shh.”
Reika looked like she was about to cry.
I stroked Reika’s hair, which was disheveled from running, and tidied it up.
Soon the elevator door closed.
“Are you okay. I’m not mad at Reika.”
“So, to my father? I’m going to cut ties with my parents… !”
“No. It’s not even Reika’s father’s fault.”
That is the general attitude towards rune holders.
What was wrong was not Reika’s father personally, but the world itself.
“… I will rip and fix everything.”
I quietly bit my teeth.
