The Guy Who Doesn't Want to Be Found vs. The Girls Who Want to Know Who He Is - Chapter 41

Chapter 41: After Lunch

“Ah, I’m so full. Is everyone else full too?”

“Yeah, I’m stuffed too.”

“I’m full too.”

“I ate a lot too. What do you think? Does my stomach look a bit bigger?”

Mom showed her stomach to Dad. Dad looked at it, blushed slightly, and touched her stomach.

“No, I don’t think it’s sticking out. It looks normal.”

“Really? Fufu, that’s good then.”

“…”

I silently watched their exchange. What am I being shown here? Why do I have to watch my parents’ romantic comedy? It’s so sweet that I feel like having some coffee now.

“I’ll go and play with Kuu and Kue for a bit.”

“Then, shall I come along?”

“Alright, Glenn! It’s time for our revenge! We’ll definitely catch some fish this time!”

“I hope we can catch at least one.”

So, Mom and Lucina went to play in the river with the two pets, while Dad and I went fishing again, hoping to catch at least one fish.

“Hey, Glenn. Have you got a girlfriend over there?”

“…What if I said I did?”

“No, no! It’s too early for Glenn to have a girlfriend! Dad does not approve!”

Dad said, looking at me anxiously. When am I allowed to have one then?

“I don’t have a girlfriend. But recently, I’ve made some female friends.”

“Hmm. Well, friends are okay.”

“Really. What are you going to do when Lucina gets a boyfriend?”

“Eh?”

It seemed my words took Dad by surprise. He looked at me with wide eyes.

“Haha! You’re funny, Glenn! Lucina is only 15, it’s way too early for her!”

“What if she gets a boyfriend and brings him home?”

Dad laughed loudly at my question. I didn’t think it was that funny.

“…I’ll kill him.”

“…”

Seeing Dad’s face turn serious, I was at a loss for words. His eyes were dead serious.

This could be bad.

In the near future, if Lucina brings a boyfriend home, that boyfriend might not make it back alive.

All I can do is hope that this unknown boyfriend doesn’t end up dead.

“By the way, do you still have the mask Lucina gave you?”

“I do have it.”

“Good. Your power is extraordinary. Make sure you wear it so your identity stays hidden.”

The main reason I hide my identity is because Dad told me to.

“Too much power is dangerous. If too many people realize what you can do, it could put you in danger.”

His tone and demeanor were different from usual, nothing like the dad I knew.

That’s why I keep my power hidden.

Well, if it gets exposed, Dad would probably just say, “It can’t be helped.”

But has Lucina ever seen my powers? Or did she hear about them from Dad and pass that on to me?

Various thoughts crossed my mind.

But first, well…

“Haha, that’s funny coming from you, Dad, the one who trained me.”

“Huh? Did I say something weird?”

“Nope, it’s nothing.”

Then we started fishing again, watching the fish swim by. Far away, Mom, Lucina, Kuu, and Kue were all happily playing together.

“Ah! Here we go!”

Dad shouted excitedly, so I looked over to see what was happening. Sure enough, Dad had caught a fish.

“Ah, I’ve got one too!”

Just seconds after Dad, I also managed to catch a fish. They weren’t big, but catching them felt great.

“Glenn, we did it! Revenge successful!”

“Yeah, I’m glad we caught some.”

I sighed in relief. Dad reached out his hand, and we high-fived with a loud slap.

Now we’re not coming home empty-handed.

“Alright! Let’s keep this up and catch more!”

“Yeah, I wonder how many more we can catch?”

We took the fish off the hook, baited our lines again, and cast them back into the water. Hopefully, we’ll catch a lot more.

>>>>>>>

“It’s getting dark, maybe we should head back soon.”

“Come on, Big Brother and Dad, let’s go home.”

“Okay. Dad, it’s time to head back.”

“…”

Dad seemed down. That makes sense. After that, I managed to catch two more fish, but Dad didn’t catch any more. It’s sad, but it’s time to go.

“Come on, when we get back, I’ll cook dinner.”

“…Okay.”

Dad agreed reluctantly to head home. Today’s catch was Mom with seven fish, Lucina with five, me with three, and Dad with one.

Now, I need to think about what to cook when we get back.
