"Okay, I am waiting for you~! Mwah~!"
Hina was so happy that she kissed her smartphone many tis when Nifuji called.
"...." Everyone.
Those who saw Hina's reaction felt so weird, like they had goosebumps, but well, for Hina's parents, as long as she was happy, it was fine.
Still, at this mont, her family decided to help her move her things to the new apartnt, and while it was owned by Nifuji, he told her that she should tell her family that it was a rental instead of owned, as it was more believable and it wasn't troubleso to explain.
Why was it troubleso to explain?
If Hina told her parents that Nifuji bought the apartnt, they would definitely ask what kind of work he did, and how he got so much money to buy it, but if she told them that he rented it, then they would think that he worked at a good company.
Frankly, while it was weird, many parents seed to prefer that their sons-in-law work for others, especially at good companies, rather than be entrepreneurs.
Still, being an entrepreneur was risky, and for that reason, many wished for a stable son-in-law.
So people might say that those parents were cowards and they were just satisfied with the status quo, and a boring life, yet for the parents, who had faced many years of living, a boring and stable life was a luxury, sothing that people hardly get in the old generations. In their youth, they faced many problems, especially poverty, and many others.
People say houses were cheaper in the past, but those people had no money to buy them, either, because they were too poor.
Regardless, Hina's parents knew that they couldn't stop Hina's relationship with Nifuji, and frankly, they didn't think to stop her either, as he was stable enough and also responsible, as he even rented this luxury apartnt in guro.
This alone was why they accepted Nifuji, even though they had never t him.
To be honest, within their minds, instead of a lover, Tsukiko Fujii and Akihito Fujii thought that Hina was the pet, or the mistress of a wealthy gentleman.
Yes, instead of a proper lover, they thought Hina had caught the eye of a married man who loved her, but because he felt a responsibility to his family, he gave her wealth.
Inwardly, the two were devastated, yet they also hesitated since if they made the wrong assumption, they might make Hina beco more distant.
Hina was an adult, after all, so if she left the house and didn't want to return, it was her choice, and they had no way to stop it, as she had her own money, and more importantly, a place for her own that would be inhabited by her and Rui.
"But, Rui, are you sure that you want to follow your big sister?" Tsukiko asked, feeling a bit lonely, as she would lose her two daughters imdiately, but she knew that Rui was about to beco an adult, too.
"Yes, Mom." Rui nodded, having made up her mind to follow her big sister.
"But, what are you planning to do? You are not going to enter the university, right?" Tsukiko pressed further, as she was afraid that Rui couldn't live properly.
Yes, there might be many jobs that soone with a high school diploma could do, but what were they?
So people might say that a university wasn't needed to be successful, since many powerful n had no diplomas, but what was the ratio of the successful to the failures? How many were successful compared to how many failed?
Also, while entering a university might not guarantee success, it still gives a possibility to have a stable job, but if one didn't have a university degree, their lives would be as unstable and lived in constant poverty, which made them feel like it was better to die than live.
Tsukiko's thought might be extre, but for soone who was a single mother, who took care of her two daughters till they beca adults, working by herself after her husband cheated on her, if soone had not had the sa experience as her, then it was better to shut up.
'Oh...'
Whether it was Hina or Akihito, they quickly stepped out as they were afraid to hit the wrong button; they knew Tsukiko well, and they knew that despite how gentle she appeared, she was just about to explode. It was like they could hear the rumbling noise that ca from the mountain, which was a sign that it was about to explode, which made them tremble.
Yet, Natsuo Fujii didn't know about that, or he didn't care about that, since his heart was so heavy, especially when he saw the luxurious furniture in the area, which was a sign that Hina's lover was wealthy.
'Damn, what's the use of money?!'
However, Natsuo knew that as a high school student who had just graduated and beca the university student, and also planned to live on his own, he had no money, and his apartent...
"....."
When Natsuo looked at this apartnt, where Hina lived together with Rui, sohow, he wanted to live here, too. After all, this apartnt was chic, luxurious, and also elegant. He had no complaints about his apartnt, as his parents paid for it, but he wanted a better one, too.
More importantly, when he thought about how Hina's lover might co to visit and live here together, it made his heart feel like it was stung for so reason.
'No, no. This guy must be old and ugly.'
There was no way for soone to be so perfect to exist, and even if Hina's boyfriend had an okay look, this guy seed to be so busy that he didn't even help with Hina's move.
Still, Natsuo forgot that the moving service that Hina was using was all taken care of by Nifuji, but regardless, Rui, who faced her mother's question, took a deep breath, said, "I... I am going to beco a chef."
"..."
Tsukiko blinked in disbelief as she looked at Rui, stunned.
"Mom, I want to beco a chef."
Rui was determined, but Tsukiko was enraged, "DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU WERE SAYING?!"
"....."
Natsuo and Akihito were dumbfounded, and Hina was also nervous, but—
Ding!
The sound of the bell was like a light in the storm, making Tsukiko stop and frown, but Hina quickly walked out and looked at the person who had made the bell with a happy, loving smile: "Hirotaka!"
"Sorry for being late."
Nifuji ca to his apartnt, which he had bought for Hina. "I bought sothing before I visited, but..." He noticed the apartnt's strangeness, especially with all the people, who seed in a strange mood.
"...is there anything happening?"
