Chapter 163: Chapter 163: Are You Drunk on Fake Alcohol? (Good luck on your exams~)

The middle-aged man was clearly a bit surprised. He asked in confusion, "My wife has already been here? She never mentioned it to me."

"But it’s alright, her gratitude and mine are separate. We each have our own," the middle-aged man chuckled. "Is it convenient for Uncle to come in?"

"Please come in," Shirakawa Sawahei made space for him.

The middle-aged uncle was much more straightforward than the whiny’s mom, without any hesitation, he took off his hat and walked straight in. He raised the large sea fish in his hand and asked, "Where should I put this gift?"

"Just put it in the kitchen," Shirakawa Sawahei said a bit helplessly. He hardly ever cooked, so the fish was basically useless to him and it would just take up space.

He needed to find an opportunity to deal with this gift, and surely there were many restaurants in Neon where you could bring your own ingredients.

The uncle took a cursory glance at the kitchen, smiled and said, "I thought you lived alone and couldn’t cook, so I was going to make you a meal, but it seems I overthought it."

"You’re too kind. If anyone should be cooking, it should be me..." Shirakawa Sawahei replied politely. The middle-aged uncle, upon hearing this, handed the fish forward, "Then you go ahead and do it."

Shirakawa Sawahei: "..."

The uncle laughed heartily, "Hahaha, young man, I was just joking. Being polite to adults is a good thing, but with Uncle, you don’t need to be so formal."

He took the sea fish with an exasperated look, thinking how this uncle’s personality was so similar to the whiny’s.

They both took a seat on the sofa, and Shirakawa Sawahei thought that since they were family, he might as well take out the red tea that Tsukimi Yamadori had given him before, and let the uncle try it.

Eh? Red tea? Something seemed off.

Fortunately, this uncle didn’t have Ise Yu Yuzhijin’s train of thought, so he didn’t notice anything. Amid the swirling aroma of tea, the middle-aged uncle took a gentle whiff and said regretfully, "The tea leaves are good, but it seems you don’t know much about making tea."

"Sorry for the poor showing, your wife said the same thing."

"It’s fine, I’m just a master of words, only able to drink but not practice the tea ceremony," the uncle said, taking a sip of tea. "Since my wife has already been here, I’m sure you, young man, know a bit about the situation. Regarding our daughter, please allow me to express my sincere gratitude again."

"No, no, no, I really don’t mind, honestly."

"Mind?" The middle-aged uncle seemed to catch on, "Ah, it’s about being frightened, isn’t it? I’m really sorry for that..."

Shirakawa Sawahei: ???

What fright did I get from the whiny? Did she molest me?

Feeling something was wrong, he asked, "May I ask, your daughter... is?"

"It’s Kashi, that girl. Do you know my other daughters as well?"

"..."

The middle-aged uncle looked at Shirakawa Sawahei’s reaction and sighed, "I didn’t expect you, young man, to be so connected with the Hayakawa family, even knowing Kashi."

"I remember now. Kashi mentioned that she was in danger once, but was saved by a classmate. You’re not that classmate, are you?"

"..."

That was clearly a little kid tailing me, completely a misunderstanding. I really didn’t intend to save your little loli daughter!

"So you’re Hayakawa’s father..." Shirakawa Sawahei said awkwardly, "I thought..."

"Oh? Who did you think I was the father of?" the middle-aged uncle asked with interest.

"Well..." Shirakawa Sawahei clearly didn’t want to answer that question and vaguely replied, "I still don’t know your name..."

"Oh, my name is Asano Fūsei, the nominal family head of the Hayakawa family. Nice to meet you, please take care of me."

"Asano..." Upon hearing this surname, Shirakawa Sawahei was stunned for a second, then hesitantly asked, "Are you..."

"That’s right." Asano Fūsei smiled happily, pointing to himself, "You can also call me Hayakawa Fūsei."

"I married into the Hayakawa family."

Asano Fūsei seemed to treat this point lightly, stating boldly, "Because of a condition before marriage, the first child as heir must have the Hayakawa surname, while the second child can have my surname."

Shirakawa Sawahei was silent for a while. Asano Fūsei’s words resolved a previous curiosity he had about the Hayakawa sisters.

But what did "nominal family head" mean?

Asano Fūsei seemed to pick up on Shirakawa Sawahei’s confusion, and proactively explained, "Even though I’m married in, I used to be quite the Long Aotian. But now my wife manages the family’s specific affairs while I run around outside, helping out a bit here and there."

"Because of my exceptional abilities, I stood out early on and became a favorite in many eyes, but unfortunately..."

"Unfortunately... the girls in the Hayakawa family are just too beautiful." Asano Fūsei continued with a sigh, "It’s hard for a hero to get past the charms of a beauty, especially..."

He cleared his throat, paused, and continued, "But let’s get back to discussing my daughter..."

Shirakawa Sawahei: "..."

"There’s really nothing more to discuss, is there?" he said tactfully. "Hayakawa said she had basically solved the problem, and I might not be able to help much more."

Asano Fūsei waved his hand, saying, "Eh~ it’s not about that matter. What I’m about to talk about is even more important than that."

Shirakawa Sawahei was subtly uneasy and probed, "Are you talking about... Hayakawa?"

"Exactly!" Asano Fūsei said with a beaming smile, "Let me first ask your opinion, what do you think of... Kashi as a kid?"

"???"

"Sorry... I don’t quite understand what you mean..."

"What I’m saying is," Asano Fūsei continued patiently, "Do you think Kashi is a good girl?"

Shirakawa Sawahei was dumbfounded for a moment, then reluctantly answered, "She’s very pretty."

Unsurprisingly, such a shallow compliment did not satisfy Asano Fūsei. He continued to ask, "What else?"

"...Very smart..."

"And what else?"

"Independent personality... Handles things calmly?"

"And what else?"

"Great at sports..."

"Is there anything more profound?"

Shirakawa Sawahei really couldn’t find more subtle words to describe Hayakawa Kashi, but suddenly, he felt Hayakawa Kashi’s father’s expression was a bit intentional, as if he wanted to hear more praise about his daughter from Shirakawa Sawahei.

"As a girl, she has many hidden cute traits." He replied honestly, "Beyond that, I really don’t have more."

Not a drop more, he really couldn’t give Miss Kaori more praise.

Asano Fūsei nodded with satisfaction, "It seems you know quite a lot about Kashi, knowing so many of her strengths."

"So, since that’s the case, let me ask you straightforwardly, do you think... if you were to date Kashi, would you agree?"

Shirakawa Sawahei was stunned for a second, then looked at Asano Fūsei’s earnest face with a complicated expression, and glanced again at the red tea on the table.

Did I brew... tea?

Why does Hayakawa Kashi’s dad seem like he’s talking nonsense after drinking fake alcohol?
