Chapter 47

【Yumemi Miu’s grandmother’s attitude took a drastic turn upon seeing your figure. She recognized you.】

【She hadn’t expected to see you here. When she first arrived in Yori Village, she had imagined you would find your way here. You didn’t show up. She thought about going to Misaki City to see you, but had to stop due to Asano Nao’s attitude.】

【Now, she had prepared for Asano Nao and Yumemi Miu to face the world on their own, but you suddenly appeared.】

【She couldn’t gauge your reasons or intentions for coming over. In matters concerning Asano Nao, she decided to wait and see. However, regarding Yumemi Miu, she encouraged the girl to get close to you and even helped cover for her, ensuring that Asano Nao wouldn’t find out.】

【Summer vacation ended, and Yumemi Miu had to start attending classes. Under the grandmother’s cover, Miu woke up half an hour early every day to prepare breakfast for you and also made lunch boxes. After school, she came over to make dinner and helped tidy up the house. You always prepared delicious food for her.】Ne/w novel chapters are p/u/blished on no/vel(/bin(.)c/o/m

【Your relationship with Yumemi Miu grew closer, and she became more comfortable around you.】

【She discovered your practice room and saw your many instruments. After watching you practice once, she pestered you to teach her.】

【Faced with her request, you decided...】

【1. “Follow in your father’s footsteps!”】

【2. “Inherit your father’s greatest power!”】

【3. “Your destiny should be your own choice!”】

【4. Free simulation】

Minami Yuuki looked at the options, interpreting them.

Option one likely referred to the trumpet, the instrument he used to get into Misaki Arts University. Option two was probably the guitar, as he was currently best at pop rock music. Option three could mean any instrument, depending on Yumemi Miu’s preference.

“Wow, all the options are about teaching something; there’s no option to refuse her. Spoiling his daughter so much, huh?” Minami Yuuki remarked.

Scanning the options again, he wondered what each would lead to. The information was too sparse, leaving only baseless speculation.

The guitar might lead Yumemi Miu down a rock music path, which could be too loud and harsh for her delicate heart.

The trumpet was problematic too. In the last simulated life, Yumemi Miu learned the trumpet and ended up in the hospital with a heart condition. While it was unclear if the trumpet was the cause, it risked repeating that life.

【Asano Nao had learned piano when she was young, so she knew very well that someone who hadn’t studied piano couldn’t play so well.】

【Where had her daughter learned to play the piano? Was there really someone in this village who could teach piano? Was it the music teacher at school? Or did she learn through the internet? Asano Nao was full of doubts.】

【She decided to investigate on her own first.】

【After drinking the barley tea, it was already late. Asano Nao took her daughter to the bathroom to bathe and coaxed her to sleep.】

【Once Yumemi Miu was sound asleep, she carefully got out of bed and went to her grandmother’s room. She told the old woman what she had discovered and asked if she had any clues.】

【The old lady, who had been through many tough times and was a good liar, couldn’t muster her usual skill in front of her granddaughter.】

【The old lady stammered, claiming she didn’t know about it. Asano Nao saw through her lie. She knew that her grandmother generally wouldn’t deceive her. Something very serious must have happened to Miu, serious enough that her grandmother wanted to help cover it up.】

【The old lady, afraid that she would overthink, reassured her that it wasn’t a bad thing and might even be a good thing. She suggested that if Asano Nao really wanted to know, she could quietly follow Yumemi Miu the next morning after she left the house.】

【Asano Nao lay back in bed, tossing and turning. She had long noticed her daughter’s unusual behavior but had attributed it to friendships with playmates. Now it seemed that wasn’t the case at all. She wondered, do Miu’s friends even exist?】

【She also thought about her grandmother’s words. To know the truth, she only had to follow Miu the next morning. But she couldn’t bring herself to do it; just the thought of going out tormented her.】

【At dawn, Yumemi Miu woke from her sleep to find her mother sitting by the bed, looking exhausted, which startled her.】

【Asano Nao had made a decision. She directly asked her daughter about her piano skills and where she went every day when she left the house.】

【Yumemi Miu panicked for a moment, but she soon remembered your words and how her grandmother’s attitude had changed immediately after meeting you.】

【The girl truthfully told her mother that she learned piano from the uncle at the corner store and that she went there every day.】

【Asano Nao pressed her for details about how they met.】
