The School Saint, who is kind to everyone, leave a bite mark only on me [Dropped] - Chapter 7 - Father In Law?

“Are you feeling like you’re making progress with my daughter, Son-in-law…?” 

“Please don’t assume that I’ll become your son-in-law so easily, Chairman!”

As soon as I entered the Chairman’s office, I was greeted by a tired-looking, middle-aged man in a gray suit, who happened to be Hatsuyuki’s father and the Chairman of our High-School, Fubuki Ichijo.

[TL/N : Welp, definitely not a man’s name…]

“I can’t say I don’t understand your feelings. After all, she’s just like her mother… When I was in the same position as you, I couldn’t run away either. Ugh, I don’t even want to remember all that!” 

“I didn’t want to know that information! And besides, as a father and as a Chairman, do you think it’s okay for your daughter to cohabitate with a male student while she’s still enrolled in the school?” 

“Hmm, do you have the right to say that, considering you got involved with her in the first place? I’m sure your relationship is already way deeper than what I am assuming right?” 

“Do you not have any complicated feelings as a father? Or as a Chairman of our school? Or do you not have any objection to a poor man like me marrying your daughter?” 

To my question, he sighed deeply and said, “You also bear some responsibility as my prospective son-in-law.”

“What specifically, and can you please stop calling me that?”

“Weren’t you the one responsible for this situation in the first place?”

“Then does it mean you are aware of all of the events that have happened until now?”

“I am not sure. I am saying this all because of my instincts and my instincts have never failed me.”

“Do you have any proof that it was me?”

“No, but as a Chairman and a former head of the Ichijo family, my intuition tells me that it was you — Yoshihisa Takekiyo, you are a man who can’t be underestimated.”

“That’s an overestimation.”

“Is it? If my prediction is correct, you’re as active and virile as the protagonist of a humiliation-themed erotic game or novel.”

“Do you, as a Chairman, play erotic games?”

“Call me your father-in-law! I’ve entrusted Hatsuyuki to you! I won’t get involved in complicated romantic affairs anymore!” 

“Please stop it, Chairman! Do you have some trauma related to romance?”

My purpose to visit him in the first place was to persuade him to make Hatsuyuki stop in her tracks as she was going out of my control every passing moment. But…

Naturally, the conversation went nowhere.

“Give it up, son-in-law. You are talented enough to maintain your special status as a student… or rather, there’s a report suggesting that you may have intentionally left a top spot blank to adjust the scores and help Hatsuyuki become the top of the class.” 

“Ugh… Haha… that’s just your imagination. If I could do that, I would be the protagonist of a manga!!” 

“It seems you also have been doing various things behind the scenes for my daughter. Well, there are some shady things about you, and you also might have done something inappropriate to my daughter as well…” 

That’s it, that’s where he should hand me over to the police as a father. I leaned forward without hesitation and said,

“That’s right, I forced myself on Hatsuyuki-san, I am actually a criminal who should be turned over to the police. Please, please persuade Hatusyuki-san to leave me!!” 

“Whether that’s true or false, it was the first time my daughter made a selfish demand and it became an opportunity to show her abilities. I have no complaints. My life is precious after all.” 

Ichijoji Fubuki turned pale. Just what did Hatsuyuki do to her father? My blood ran cold, but I couldn’t back down. There was no one else who could stop her other than him in this world.

“As a father, you should correct your daughter’s mistake and fulfill your duty as a citizen by reporting a criminal to the police, shouldn’t you?” 

“What do you want, Yoshihisa-kun? I admit I’m biased as a parent, but my daughter is flawless, a daughter that any parent can be proud of. What’s the problem if she marries you and lives happily ever after?” 

“I want to firmly oppose it so that I can feel guilty and comfortable, and persuade Hatsuyuki-san. Why can’t you do that?” 

“You really are a piece of trash, Yoshihisa-kun. Indeed, your family is falling apart without external support, and this school is your only hope. But, I believe you can make it with her help.” 

“Why… Why does it have to be meeeee!? You bastard!! I shouldn’t be with Hatsuyuki-san, a monster like me!! I don’t want to force myself on her, but I also want to do that!!” 

He looked at me with clear sympathy on his face as he would not be able to do anything about this matter. 

“The Ichijoji’s have always been a good-looking family on the outside, but they’ve inherited the obsessive nature of their mothers, for better or for worse… I remember being threatened and reverse-rap*d, and I ended up having a child with my wife. But I was also stubborn and foolish… I had to accept it in the end, I was only able to recognize her love after she was no longer by my side”

“…..”

He continued saying his words while looking at nothingness with a lost and painful look on his face.

It looks like he had suffered the same fate through which I am going through right now.

“I still can’t forget her mother, you know. That’s why when you looked after my daughter when she was all alone and when I was not by her side, I felt thankful for you… That’s why when that little girl told me to stay away from both of you, I couldn’t refute her.”

“Haah… So you were partially responsible for this situation, huh?”

“It’s painful to see my daughter in that pitiful state now. Even now… I can’t help but see her mother’s figure flickering, and the feeling of loss attacks me… That’s why I feel like I did something wrong to Hatsuyuki, and I can’t become a father-figure now.”

“…But why leave it to me?”

“That’s right. I don’t know how you got involved with that child or what kind of relationship you had, but you are the one she loves with all her heart and that’s an irreversible fact. At least, I pray that she will be happy for the rest of her life.”

Those words were sharp like a knife and pierced right through my chest.

“You seem fine, even though you lost control of the family to your daughter. You don’t seem to have stopped visiting those establishments… That piece of paper in your chest pocket is really suspicious.”

“If I recognize your relationship with my daughter and approve of it, and if you work, you can do whatever you want. Don’t take it the wrong way, but I prioritize my business over my son-in-law!”

“You damn parent! But since I recommended it, I can’t blame you!! Just why am I the once to get in all this mess?!”
