Chapter 163: Who do you like between our daughters?

Takahashi Eishi’s entire body began to be dizzy, his eyes were full of little stars, there was no greater excitement in life than the fact that both of his daughters had a favorite, this idea, although it had once been foreseen, when it really came, it was still too much of an excitement.

Ayano panicked a little beside him and shook her dad’s shoulder repeatedly for a long time before he came back to his senses a little.

“Who is he!” Eiji Takahashi asked, getting straight to the point.

“……” Ayano didn’t answer at first, she wasn’t quite sure if her father could take the excitement, something like liking the same person as her sister might be too much for a father to… …

Takahashi Eishi sharp big back head at this time fell down two hair, the whole face looks no longer so calm, but there is a trace of a mess, see the younger daughter’s expression became flustered, he knew his attitude is a little too, the heart then also in the continuous regulation of their own, back to the right hand kneaded the joints of the left hand thumb, a long time after the meeting, gently nodded his head.

“Sorry, I’m a bit too fussed, after all, all to this age, seventeen years old …… should also have a first love, it’s normal.” Takahashi Eishi uttered these words, not only for Ayano’s ears, but more also to comfort himself, and on the side of Ayano, even though she heard her father was saying this, but looking at how hard he was kneading his fingers, she could tell that he was really nervous about them.

Ayano raised her hand and gently patted her dad’s back, her eyes rolled back in her head and she smiled, “You’re tired from work, aren’t you dad? Let me give you a massage on your arm, stay in front of the computer all the time, be careful of what kind of problems you’ll develop oh.”

“Oh, then please.” Takahashi Eishi stopped pressing his left hand, and then his left hand was extended.

“Let’s not talk about this between father and daughter.” Ayano’s sweet smile made him feel healed and his mood slowly became relaxed, thinking about it, a year was a very long time for the two children, and it was completely understandable that there was such a big change, it was just a pity that he hadn’t stayed by their side during this process of change.

“Is there any more beer in the house?”

“No yet, is juice okay?”

“Fine.” Eiji Takahashi looked at Ayano as she hurriedly got up to go pour herself some juice.

When she came back, Ayano was not only holding a glass of orange juice, but also a plastic clip in her other hand, which was holding a block of ice, and asked with a smile, “Want some ice?”

“Well, that’s okay.”

Takahashi Eishi felt that Ayano was like a little angel, and whichever boy such a nice girl could go out with, he felt that it would be the other person’s third life’s fortune to be bad, and his heart started to feel bad again.

“So …… how are you doing with the one you’re dating? And what’s he like?” Takahashi Eishi asked carefully, sounding casual, but in reality he cared like hell inside.

Ayano’s whole body first froze in the face of this question, and in that time Takahashi Eishi took away the juice in her right hand, and her left hand holding the plastic clip involuntarily swung in a small clockwise motion.

“He ……” Ayano didn’t want to lie to her dad, the whole thing then bowed her head like a deflated balloon, “I haven’t confessed my love to him yet, dad.”

“So it’s a crush? Then this boy must be very good to be liked by our Ayano.” Takahashi Eishi greeted Ayano as she sat down first, and she sat back down on the stool with the clip in her hand, the square of ice still in the center of the plastic clip.

Ayano was inwardly apprehensive, right now her mind was filled with Natsuki, falling in love really does make a person stupid, she looked over at her dad and her attitude became proper, “Dad, you’re sure I’m okay with falling in love aren’t you?”

“Dang, of course, I’m pretty sure.” Takahashi Eishi kind of figured it out, to think differently, the current is nothing more than an ambiguous relationship between high school students, as long as it doesn’t go too far, it’s very good as a good memory in the future, and isn’t it just precious youth.

Ayano looked at her dad, surprise gradually showing in her eyes, her hand holding the plastic clip fluttering back and forth once again, her right hand pulling down the stool to sit closer to her dad, and asked with a little bit of excitement, “So, if I have something emotional, I can tell you about it too, right dad!”

Takahashi Eishi’s eyes lit up, “No problem, your father, I’m at least a person who’s been there before, so feel free to ask me any relationship questions at your age.”

“Ho-ho-ho-ho-daddy you’re so handsome.” Ayano said with a bad smile as she wrapped her arms around him.

As father and daughter finally talk, Takahashi feels that it’s great to be able to go home this time, to be able to unravel with his long-lost daughters, to listen to them share their emotional problems, and to finally begin to fulfill the true meaning of the word “father”.

“Then I’m all ears.” Takahashi Eishi showed a rare light smile.

Ayano nodded even more excitedly, only then remembering that she had forgotten to put the ice cubes in the juice, and followed up by moving the plastic clip over the top of the glass, loosening it at the same time as she voiced the truth of what was going on inside of her, “Daddy, I actually like Aoi too.”

THUD–

The ice cubes fell into the juice with a crisp sound.

Takahashi Eishi’s smile froze, and the part of his heart abruptly stopped beating, just like the ice cube that slowly disappeared into the juice and eventually sank to the bottom of the glass.

When he regained consciousness, it was already two minutes later, and next to him was his youngest daughter with an anxious face, and the memory of what he had just done resurfaced in his mind, and he nearly passed out again.

He dropped his hands feebly to the inner measurements of the knees of his feet, his head buried deeply, and after another ten seconds or so, he slowly opened his mouth and said in that low voice, “Let me meet that Aoi Natsuki over the weekend …… …… “

……

Tik-Tok Tik-Tok Tik-Tok–

The clock on the wall kept going clockwise, Aoi Natsuki was sitting at the dining room table, facing Ayano who was looking a bit embarrassed as well as this father beside her whom she had never seen before, obviously she had come over to congratulate Ayano on the matter of her manga entering the editorial meeting of the long-running serialization but this atmosphere in front of her always felt a bit odd.

The thin gift carried in his hand, some fruits and snacks in this atmosphere can not be taken out at all, so he had to slowly sideways on the ground.

Aoi Natsuki first saw Takahashi’s father, more than he imagined to be full of majesty, combed a big back hair, with a beard, even if wearing a home dress is still the whole body is still straight, behavior and demeanor, looking at the father is a very cultivated na.

His eyes glanced to Ayano on the side, who just averted her eyes, huh? What do you mean? I don’t get it at all, huh?

In the kitchen, Takahashi Mito was cracking eggs with chopsticks, or that’s what was able to distract her a bit, and every now and then she even looked out sideways for a bit, her seemingly calm face actually inwardly choppy.

“Aoi …… Natsuki is it?” Eiji Takahashi finally spoke.

“Well, yes, Uncle …… Uncle!”

With no expression visible on his face, Eiji Takahashi leaned forward slightly and continued to ask, “What did your parents do for a living?”

?

The question drew a startled look from the remaining three.

Natsuki Arai didn’t expect Takahashi’s father to ask that, but after thinking about it and assuming that it was just a casual question from an elder, she answered truthfully, “It’s something about traveling, and I often go out on business trips.”

“Are you the only one in the house?”

“No, I have a sister.”

“Oh.” Takahashi Eishi lifted his gaze, “Quite average looking as well.”

“Haha, it’s pretty average.”

This was closely followed by a period of silence on both sides.

“My side also open the door to ask, Aoi you …… like our family Metu?” Takahashi Eishi asked as he rested his elbows on the desktop and clasped his hands together as he gently pushed down the glasses on the bridge of his nose.

“Hm?” Aoi Natsuki’s train of thought broke down, why was this suddenly mentioned.

Slap–

There was a sound coming from the kitchen, and when Takahashi Midu heard that, the small bowl she was holding in her hand steeply came off and fell into the sink, the egg mixture in the bowl flowing a little bit down the wall of the bowl and into the mouth of the drain.

“Dad!” Takahashi Mito was obviously more shocked by this topic than Aoi Natsuki, asking this question wasn’t like calling him to his home and confirming his feelings, it’s too embarrassing, right? On second thought, she cast her eyes fiercely in Ayano’s direction.

Ayano, who had a sister’s radar sense, shrunk her neck, she hadn’t thought that her father would be so direct in his questioning, it’s true that the older generation is more straightforward in their thinking.

Aoi Natsuki sensed that the atmosphere had become subtle, but the current situation seemed like Takahashi didn’t seem to know about it, so then it was Takahashi’s dad’s unilateral questioning? If it would be asked like that, it’s hard to believe that Takahashi had confided in her dad, and then as an elder’s defense, he wanted to confirm his thoughts, so that makes the most sense when you think about it like that.

Meeting Takahashi’s father’s line of sight, the other party was undoubtedly very serious in asking this question, then one should not be evasive at this time, clearly telling the other party what one thinks is the most correct.

Okay, that’s it.

After having a plan in mind, Aoi Natsuki followed and pivoted her body, her expression becoming firm as she said, “Not at all! Takahashi and I are merely friends.”

Takahashi Mito in the kitchen heard this and was instantly petrified, clearly, clearly he didn’t confess at all, so why would he be rejected a second time ah!

Takahashi Eishi was also a little surprised at the attitude of the young man in front of him, his eyes were clear and did not look like he was lying, although his looks were average, this bold and outspoken character made him appreciate it a little.

“Well, so it is.” He nodded as he spoke.

And the side of the Ayano one hand to cover the left side of the kitchen view, it is not difficult to imagine that the current sister may even have the heart to do away with her, after two seconds, she slightly opened her left hand finger cracks, from the gap between the finger cracks to see, I did not expect to still bump into the eyes of the sister, hiss …… tonight I am considered to be completely finished.

Aoi Natsuki was relieved to see Takahashi’s father’s expression soothed, it seemed he had made the right bet.

In order to open the deadlock, Aoi reached out and touched the just loosened fruit bag again, carried the bag, brought it to the table, and smiled, “I came in a hurry, so I just bought some fruits to come, I hope uncle doesn’t mind.”

“You’re welcome, then Ayano helpfully accept it.” Takahashi Eishi signaled Ayano, who was beside him, to accept the gift.

Ayano rushed to get it and was pleasantly surprised to see that there was food, having only rinsed a packet of coconut wheat early in the morning, “I’ll go wash the fruit!”

Just as she was about to get up, suddenly her father, who was beside her, put his hands on her shoulders, stopping her from getting up, and Ayano turned her head to look at him in confusion.

Only to see his dad hanging a light smile, facing Aoi Natsuki, he opened his mouth to ask another question, “What about Ayano? Do you like our Ayano, Aoi?”

The second question that overwhelmed everyone in the room was born.

Especially since this question was asked by an elder.

Now Aoi Natsuki was completely confused, just now he was able to understand the reason for asking Takahashi, but what was this sudden question about Ayano?

Takahashi Mito even rushed straight out of the kitchen door and came straight to the dining table, her incredulous little eyes staring at her younger sister Ayano dead in the face, her voice couldn’t help but rise in pitch, “Ayano do you like Aoi! Why?!”

“Mito! I’m asking Aoi-san a question right now, so wait a moment before you do.” Takahashi Eishi frowned, this is the time to play out the majesty of a father, although he was looking forward to the boy in front of him could say another word of no, but the possibility of this is almost zero, his own two precious daughters are so excellent, he does not believe that there will be a boy one does not like, ah ah, to be able to be liked by his own two daughters, is already a gift from heaven, as a father, will begrudgingly look at you gratefully accepting Ayano, and then with her to spend the youth, and then to the university, was kicked away to become the memories of youth, hmmmm, this is enough!

Takahashi Mito’s pupils trembled as he turned to look at Aoi Natsuki, who also seemed to be completely out of his situation.

Knowing that Ayano was secretly in love, Takahashi Eishi patted her right shoulder, Takahashi Ayano was riding a tiger at the moment, but this seemed to be the best time to tell her sister about her feelings, and the longer she put it off, the more she feared that she would be at odds with her sister because of it.

She lowered her head, turned around a little bit holding the fruit bag under everyone’s gaze, and said softly, “Yes, I do like Natsuki ……”

When these words came out, Aoi Natsuki and Takahashi Mito’s eyes instantly glared round.

Ayano likes Aoi ……

The thought kept playing on Takahashi Midu’s mind at that moment, and she felt a little dizzy, holding onto the edge of the table before she was barely able to stay upright.

So all the things that happened before that Ayano wouldn’t disclose to her, the time she came home late at night, it’s hard to believe that they were all related to Aoi as well!

She had trouble accepting this fact, if, if Aoi really became her own brother-in-law …… ah ah ah ah, then it would be better to let her die!

“Well, so that’s why, because of that, I’m curious to know about your attitude, Arai-san, and what kind of an idea you have about our Ayano?”

The pressure was back on Natsuki Arai in a flash.

Even Takahashi Mito, who was ready to get furious and lose his temper towards him, turned his eyes towards Aoi, just, what kind of answer would he give?

The three present were waiting for him to give a reply.

The air froze once more.

One second, two seconds.

Aoi Natsuki was just about to open his mouth when he heard a melodious doorbell ringing from the doorway ……
