CH 47

Apparently, it wasn’t my dad who showed up at the door, but Lida’s grandfather. His silver hair looks pretty good to me. He has a hard-boiled look, but he looks very young. He’s as refined as my father.

“It’s been a while, Lida. How have you been?”

An old man who speaks fluent Japanese. Very much like a native! He had no accent at all and he spoke naturally like a Japanese. He spoke in such a natural way that I almost wondered if he was a local.

“Uh-huh. I mean, why is your grandfather here?”

“Why, of course. Because he is the manager of this building, Kamchatka-so.”

“What!? I didn’t know that!”

No, no, that’s not right!

This apartment was supposed to be in “Sakura-so”. When did they change the manager and the name of the building?

“Wait a minute. I’m not convinced in many ways. ……! Lida’s grandfather, the manager was a nice old lady named Sato and the name of the apartment was Sakura-so.”

“She has been bought out. I’m the manager now. The name of the apartment has been changed to Kamchatka-so. The former manager, Sato-san, graciously gave me the land and the building, at a price that will allow her to live happily for the rest of her life.”

“What the hell!?”

“By the way, you’re …… hmm, Oojirou Kamishiro. You’ve grown up.”

Apparently, me and the old man had met a long time ago. I don’t remember. But that’s beside the point, there’s something wrong with the situation.

“What are you up to, grandfather?”

“This is for my little granddaughter and if it will make her happy, it’s a small price to pay.”

“Yes, I understand. But please don’t interfere with me and Oojirou anymore. If you interfere with us in any way, I’ll start to hate you.”

“…… I’ll make an effort. Oojirou-kun, take care of my granddaughter. Lida is the cutest thing in the world, and if you treat her badly, I’ll …… make you regret you were ever born.”

He cracked his knuckles and glared at me. It’s scary!

But I’ve been entrusted with Lida. I’ll have to do my best.

Lida’s grandfather left quietly, probably because he was afraid Lida would hate him. I thought he was a surprisingly understanding man.

“Well, well, if the …… manager is now Lida’s grandfather, he’s going to be a little more flexible, which is a relief. “

“I’m not so sure about that. But don’t worry. I’ll protect you, Oojirou.”

Lida, who is attached to my arm, looks at me, telling me to leave it to her. I’m sure Lida can handle it.

–After bathing, eating, and working, the night is drawing to a close.

“…… Lida’s lips are beautiful and cherry red.”

This is not the time to be admiring the pictures! It was the usual “picture” or “video” gift from the bath, and today it was a picture of her mouth.

Every day, more and more of Lida’s inappropriate photos are being stored in my secret memory or in the cloud, adding to my treasure trove of data. I hope it won’t leak out, but I’m sure it’ll be fine since I’m keeping it safe.

I looked at my watch and saw that it was already around midnight.

I had finished my work on the program, and I was getting sleepy.

Leaning my back against the folding bed I had finally set up, I closed my eyelids but there was a vibration on my phone.

I checked the screen to see what was going on, but it was a line message from Lida.

It said, “Ты мне нравишься”.

I checked the screen to see what was going on. I used Gooooooogle-san to translate it. And the result was “I like you”.

Jeez……

I’m so happy, I cannot sleep!

I wasted no time in making up a serious message in Russian and responded with this.

“Ты мне очень нравишься!!!”

(I really like you!!!)

–And. As soon as I sent the message, I fell asleep.
