"If you have any needs, you can come to me!"
Shirogane's Father said with his hands clasped together.
Well...
These words made Oreki students fall silent.
Sure enough.
You can't have high expectations for Shirogane's Father.
What does it mean to go to him when you have a need?
If you really need to find him, that's scary, okay?
Even though I was thinking about Oreki, I still noticed that Shirogane's Father's attention was always on him when he said these ridiculous remarks.
Or rather.
Shirogane's Father Are you actually testing his reaction here?
Well...
Makes sense.
Kei Shirogane is very simple, but his father is always running around, so his inner growth must be great.
So.
Kei Shirogane probably told his side of the story thanks to his father's superb verbal skills.
So.
This Shirogane's Father is probably thinking about whether he is approaching his daughter on purpose.
That's why I wanted to test it like this.
And faced with such inquiries from Shirogane's father.
If you have a guilty conscience, you will indeed be at a disadvantage.
It may even be completely defeated in front of Kei Shirogane.
Then you have to answer well.
But.
People in this world are very smart, but this world is also very realistic.
Oreki looked at Shirogane's Father without changing his expression.
"That's true."
"I took advantage of your daughter."
"But."
"In exchange, the problem with your job will be solved."
"Then Shirogane got the [gratitude] of helping me. At the same time, in the process of helping me, her relationship with her classmates became closer."
"Let her classmates' evaluation of her rise."
"And once your work-side problems are solved, your income will go up."
"Then you don't have to live a life of poverty."
"Then."
"Do you still have any dissatisfaction?"
Oreki said calmly and directly.
"..."
"... You guy--"
These words silenced Shirogane's Father, but his mood changed instantly.
Shirogane's Father's timid expression just now changed as expected and became serious.
But.
But he took a deep breath and then sighed.
This is a sign of giving up the fight.
"You really have no intention of fighting." Oreki said, looking at Shirogane's Father's expression of giving up instantly.
"What can I do?"
Shirogane's Father said, "If I had my way, it wouldn't be like this."
"Say the company went bankrupt..."
"Actually, I just offended someone when I was very young." Shirogane's Father said.
"When I was young, I fought with the rich second generation to steal women."
"Then I won, and then there was Kei."
"However, she lived a very poor life, and in the end... she was robbed in the end. Or she left voluntarily."
"..." It turns out that this is the past.
Oreki chooses to be a listener temporarily. He has not yet stepped out of society and has not experienced the hardships of society.
And Shirogane's Father continued,
"So I have known my destiny for a long time."
"And Kei-chan is my last treasure that needs to be guarded with my life."
"So, no matter who it is, I will never hand it over."
"Oreki-kun, I'm actually quite happy that you can honestly tell me that you took advantage of Kei."
"Because people who directly tell what they have done are much better than people who hide it."
"I'm not sure whether the work side of the problem can be solved."
"But no matter what, thank you."
Shirogane's Father said seriously.
At this time, his expression was very serious.
And Oreki felt that he would show this attitude when he was just being questioned. What he chose here was to directly tell the other party that he was taking advantage of Kei.
And just like Shirogane's Father thinks, it will make him feel at ease if he directly mentions the use here.
Because this shows that Oreki has no intention of doing anything to Kei Shirogane.
In his family situation, there was nothing he could do about his daughter being taken a liking to by a rich second generation and then playing with her.
This is the pitiful heart of parents.
So, after sending Shirogane's Father back, Oreki used Teleportation to go to another house of his.
However, during this time he still called the phone number Chika.
"Fujiwara Senior..."
Chika was probably applying a facial mask, and it took more than ten seconds before he answered the phone.
"Ah..."
"So, what's going on?"
"Although, even though I agreed to date you, I still have to have my own private time at night."
"Besides, you said it was a lie, so why sleep together? You can't do this kind of thing--"
"..." Oreki.
What kind of books are you reading?
There is no obligation between lovers to sleep with each other.
Rather, even when he is dating his girlfriend, he is always in a passive state. Oreki has always been harmless to humans and animals.
"You are overthinking." Junior Oreki then said, "Senior Fujiwara is not my type. I already have someone I like."
"..." Chika.
"Then what are you going to do?" I was said that twice in a row today, and Chika Fujiwara's tone instantly became great.
Oreki directly told her the information that Shirogane's Father revealed about offending people. Before, he only entrusted her with help, but did not tell her the specific content. Now it was just time to fill in the details of the people Shirogane's Father offended.
"Well..."
"That's it... it seems like someone is targeting him."
"Got it."
"Leave all these to me," Chika said. "I was shocked. I thought you were calling because of a date."
"I have absolutely no experience."
"I have no experience either." Chika said.
"Then, I'll leave everything to you when you go to school tomorrow morning."
Oreki said.
"Hmm... I know." Chika realized that this was Oreki asking her to act with him directly in school.
So.
Oreki quietly waited for Chika-go to attack.
However, while Oreki was waiting for Chika-go to dispatch, he unexpectedly... discovered Ai Hayasaka.
Today is Monday, and as a student, you need to go to school.
Oreki also has to pick up Chika Fujiwara, and then make the illusion that [the two go to school together] to the students.
Then, Chika Fujiwara was [questioned] and said, "Ah ha, actually, I was confessed to by fellow student Oreki over the weekend, and then I tried dating."
But what we need now is to pick her up.
"Didi!"
Oreki's cell phone received a notification tone.
[I'm ready to go out] by Chika Fujiwara.
"I have arrived at the meeting place." Oreki replied quickly.
[... What are you doing so early? It takes at least 20 minutes to get there from my house. Are you stupid?]
Judging from this reply from Zhu Gusheng, Chika Fujiwara has definitely never been in love.
"Just kidding."
"I'm still at home and haven't gone out." Oreki replied.
[... Your place is quite far away from the meeting place, so do you want me to wait for you there? This way I will be very cheap!] Chika Fujiwara sent a message.
OK.
Confirmed, Chika Fujiwara really has never had a boyfriend.
If I weren't looking for her to act, looking at her reply, Oreki would want to break up immediately!
Because this is a more straight-female move than classmate Horikita.
I sent two more messages to Chika Fujiwara, and Oreki stood aside. Since Chika had just gone out, he had to wait for a while.
However, just as he was thinking this, he noticed a black car parked at the intersection.
A blond girl came down wearing a ladylike female high school uniform from the Shuchiin Academy.
The girl kept a straight face and showed no expression.
