Chapter 59.1. My Dad Is Cool, You Know
Grandpa Takano approaches Miu with an exaggerated act of concern. His na is, his na is … uh. Who is he again?
Grandpa Takano hugs the world’s most adorable, silver-like gray-haired beauty who tilts her head. It looks like a touching reunion. Mugyuu.
My parents, who had caused a commotion with the alien earlier, couldn’t stop Grandpa Takano from doing what he did. Because at first glance, he looks like a grandfather who is happy to et his granddaughter after a long ti. His eyes are glazed over, though.
“What a ss he’s making in a place like this. I’ll have him suspended. Is Miu hurt?”
I guess that’s what a cat’s paw voice sounds like. Miu had beco one more wise woman.
“Yeah, I’m fine!”
Miu answered with a smiling face. I wonder how I should answer. He’s the alien’s father, but he’s also my grandfather. It’s not good to cause any more commotion here. It’s not a good idea to cause any more trouble here, and it’s not good for his social standing either. So, I’m in my honest, Mii-chan mode.
“I see. I was surprised when I got the call. Was Yoshiyuki all right too?”
“……Yes, Kazamichi-san, I’m fine.”
Yes, it was Kazamichi. From what my dad answered with a bitter face to old Kazamichi, it is understandable that they are still not on good terms. Then again, he’s friendly, old Kazamichi.
“I was looking for you, rember? Well, it was just as well. Now that the unveiling of Lady Sena is over. Let’s greet His Majesty the Emperor. As the next head of the Takano family, together with your wife and daughter. Let’s go and apologize for this conflict as well.”
He patted on the head and said as if it was a done deal. The father frowns more and more at these words. If you frown too much, you’ll get wrinkles. I’ll let my pretty daughter do so restorative magic for you, okay?
“Kazamichi-san, I have no intention of becoming the head of the Takano family. I have told you no more than once.”
“I know, I know. But you saw how bad Arashi was, didn’t you? I cannot appoint him as my successor. Then you are the only one who can. If you don’t, you know it will be terrible.”
“………”
I guess my understood impossible for an alien to beco the successor. Because I, a beautiful girl, think so too. He even introduced himself to the people around as an alien. But what a cowardly old man to try to take advantage of that.
“The Takano family bears the lives of many employees. If Yoshiyuki does not address them as the head of the family, there will be a succession battle among the relatives. Don’t you think that would be a big problem? When you were a child, you also grew up in our family. There must have been people who were indebted to you back then, right?”
“I cannot use wind magic. No one would recognize as the head of the family.”
Shaking his head, my dad replies. I wonder why you can’t be the head of the family if you can’t use … wind magic?
I wonder, but I guess he thought it was a good response. My dad knows he’s weak when he’s told that. A cunning one. The old man keeps talking to as if he’s trying to fold in.
“Don’t you think it’s about ti we made up? Aren’t we children enough to be so stubborn with each other? Besides, what about Miu? At this rate, there’s no other way but a future where she’ll be preyed upon by insignificant people. ”
“………”
My dad’s at a loss for words. I’ll be fine. Just give a little more ti and I’ll get stronger. I’d like to tell him not to worry, but as a child, my words are probably not very convincing.
But I have super-hidden powers.
“Papa, can I go eat my food now?”
The alien is already get carried by the n in black. Miu asks her father with her ice-blue eyes rolling. Fufufu, secret technique Young beautiful girl style “The story is over, you don’t understand the difficult story” technique. If the technique na is too long, I’ll consider it.
“Pwahahaha! Yes, this girl’s 10 year old party is just for today. The adults can discuss it another ti. Don’t you think? Oh, and I’ll make sure to apologize to His Majesty. I’m sure he’ll know why you two couldn’t stop fighting.”
It was the old woman who seed to have been in the dark. I’m glad I got to beat up the alien, though.
“Nu, I’ll make my apologies here too! Besides, it’s not every day you get a chance to greet the Emperor if you miss this opportunity, is it?”
Grandma Tomoe laughs, and Grandpa Kazamichi bites his lip and glances around, telling her not to say anything unnecessary. What is it? Is he starting to worry about what other people think of him? So people around him are curious, looking sideways at my family’s commotion. This is embarrassing. Hmmm, or are you looking for soone?
“I’m sure that girl will have more opportunities for an audience in the future, though. Besides, it seems we have no one to rely on but each other now. Wouldn’t it be better to end this quietly?”
Grandma Tomoe says with a reserved look as if she has seen through Grandpa Kazamichi’s behavior.
“Damn. I thought sothing was wrong earlier, but now you’ve been sabotaging ? It has nothing to do with Duchess Ryusui, does it?”
Grandpa Kazamichi looks slightly regretful. The plating of the good-natured old man from earlier is starting to peel a little. My dad stared at Grandma Tomoe, a little thoughtful. He seed to have sothing on his mind.
“No, no. I don’t feel good just watching that girl get exploited. My small old woman’s heart wanted to teach each other where we stand.”
Duke Ryusui seems to have the sa personality as in the original story. She likes to be funny and often stirs things up. And in between, she’s a cunning old woman who takes advantage of the situation.
She’s too open to be called cunning, and her personality is full of energy and lighthearted. She had so strange requests for the protagonist. She would ask him to fetch things of no value from ancient ruins or to exterminate monsters that rarely appeared. She would order the protagonists to participate in martial arts competitions and teach them how to turn things around and regain their position in the school.
She’s the grandmother of the allied side. But she’s on the protagonist’s side. And not necessarily on my side.
“You can go, Mii-chan.”
My dad permits with a determined look as if he’s decided to end the conversation here.
“Yes!”
Captain Miu says she’s on her way, and I head to my new friend’s place.
