Chapter 34: I'd like to invite my friend.

Id like to invite my friend.

My name is Shijouin Tokimune.

A successful man who has amassed a huge fortune in a single generation, married the daughter of a famous family after a great romantic encounter, and is currently living a life like someone in a movie would.

Im currently in a great mood, relaxing in the living room of my house with my wife and daughter.

58th place Good job Haruka! Your grades have improved a lot compared to your last midterm !

I couldnt help but smile when I saw the report card that my daughter Haruka had brought home.

The numbers written on the report card clearly showed how much effort my daughter had put in.

Yes, I really worked hard! So about the light novel ban

Of course, its lifted now. However, dont get so addicted that it interferes with your studies again.

Yes, Ill be careful! Haruka replied happily.

Apparently she really likes those novels with illustrations.

(But ah, thank goodness! Im really glad that I didnt punish her and make Haruka cry!)

On the surface, I was posing as a dignified father, but in reality, I was truly relieved from the bottom of my heart.

As a parent, I had no choice but to tell her, If you dont get a good result in the next test, youre not allowed to read light novels! But if I actually punished her and saw my angel Harukas crying face, I would lose my mind and probably die.

But Haruka studied hard and avoided the worst-case scenario for everyone, which would be her crying over the punishment I gave her.

She is my sweet angel.

Im glad to see that youre doing well. But youve been coming home late for a while now, are you doing some kind of study session at school? My wife, Akiko, asked curiously.

I certainly didnt expect the test results to be this great either.

Yes, I am! One of my friends who is good at studying has been staying with me after school to help me with my studies they are really good at teaching and inspiring me. Im really grateful to them!

Oh, my! Is that alright? You have a good friend, dont you?

Yes, that friend of mine is really great! They taught me all the time, but also worked so hard on studying themselves and got first place in the final exam!

Its not easy for a girl to put in that much effort for her friends and still come out on top. A child with a considerable backbone.

At first, I was only considering being taught on the subjects Im weak at, but before I knew it, I was being taught all ten subjects, both minor and major.

If she had gone that far to help you, it would be natural to thank her. Ill be gone from home that day for some errands, but Ill be back in the afternoon so I can at least say hello.

I want to thank her if she took care of Haruka that much, and Im also interested in what kind of girl she is.

That was good! Thank you, Dad!

Haha, Im not a narrow-minded man to object to my daughter inviting her friends over!

Phew, today is a good day.

To have my daughter say thank you to me with such a lovely smile.

hmm? Oh? Im pretty sure that the one who played an active role in the festival was Ah?

What happened to you, Akiko?

No, its nothing, Tokimune-san.

Am I a funny guy?

What did I say funny that you found yourself smiling so meaningfully?

Then Ill tell my friend that it will be on next Saturday! Im going to think about the lunch and snack menu for that, so thats it!

As soon as she said that, Haruka rushed back to her room.

Oh, Shes very enthusiastic.

Haha, its nice to witness the friendship between young girls. They really care about each other a lot.

Fufufu Yes, they seem to be getting along very well.

Mmm, whats wrong? Looking at my face and chuckling.

My wife was acting suspiciously for a while now.

Shes grinning strangely or holding back her laughter.

No, Im starting to look forward to seeing her friend too! I cant wait for Saturday!

Oh, thats right. I dont know if well be able to meet, so tell her to keep looking out for Haruka. Shes a bit on the fuzzy side, so I want you to support her.

Buh! No, no, youre right. Ill tell her that.

?

I tilted my head in confusion watching my wife who suddenly burst out in laughter, unable to contain herself.
