Shizuka was pulled by Yukie into the kitchen, leaving only Shinnosuke and Ryoka in the living room.
"Sorry for making you laugh, Coach Shinnosuke. My daughter Shizuka, I've raised her like a boy since she was little, so her character is a bit problematic."
Although Ryoka said that, his expression was full of pride, clearly in his heart he was very proud to have a daughter like Shizuka.
Although Shizuka had setbacks in the matchmaking market, she was indeed a good teacher, responsible, and quite dedicated. Although sometimes due to her character, she was a bit harsh on students, her intentions were good and she genuinely considered the students.
For rebellious teenagers, meeting such a teacher might mean it would be many years later before they understood her good intentions.
Being able to shine in a career she liked, the Hiratsuka couple had indeed raised Shizuka into a competent adult. Ryoka was very proud of Shizuka.
"Shizuka is indeed very good at everything, it's just that she's not gentle enough."
"What's the use of being gentle! It's not like she won't be bullied by those naughty kids!"
As a boss, Ryoka spoke very firmly, his tone full of affection for Shizuka.
"Uncle Hiratsuka, you dote on Shizuka too much, don't you want her to go on blind dates at all?"
After all, Ryoka looked older than Hiroshi. Although he called him coach, Shinnosuke still had to call him uncle.
"Caught red-handed. Actually, I don't want Shizuka to get married at all. Imagining a man living with Shizuka, I find it a bit unacceptable."
'Didn't expect this bald-headed uncle, with tattoos all over his back and scars on his face, to actually be a true daughter-con?'
However, Shinnosuke could understand Ryoka. The daughter he had painstakingly raised was suddenly snatched away by a man who came out of nowhere, this kind of feeling was indeed infuriating.
But what Shinnosuke couldn't understand was, why should loving someone hinder that person from pursuing their own happiness?
Everyone is free, love is also free. It's not a shackle or a chain, but wings that allow others to fly in the sky.
Especially a father's love for his daughter, it shouldn't become a shackle.
"So Shizuka-chan's blind dates, were they all secretly sabotaged by Uncle Hiratsuka?"
This seemed very easy for Ryoka. Every time Shizuka finished a blind date, he would order his men to intimidate the date, and he was confident he would scare the man half to death.
This was also because Yukie didn't want Shizuka's future life to have anything to do with organizations and gangs. The men introduced to her were mostly intellectuals with higher education. After being intimidated by Ryoka's people, how dare they approach Shizuka.
Hearing Shinnosuke's question, Ryoka fell silent. It turned out he was indeed the one who did it.
"Honey, what Shinnosuke said is true?"
Yukie, who had come to ask Shinnosuke what he wanted to eat, accidentally overheard their conversation.
Her expression became very dangerous. After approaching, she asked Ryoka word by word.
Clearly a boss with hundreds of subordinates, after being glared at by his wife, Ryoka was as frightened as a chick. It seemed that Shizuka's character wasn't entirely due to her father's pampering, but was also closely related to Yukie.
"Sorry Shinnosuke, I have some business I want to talk to him about."
Smiling slightly apologetically at Shinnosuke, Yukie directly grabbed Ryoka's ear and left the living room.
Seeing this scene, Shinnosuke became even more certain of his standards for choosing a wife, he had to find a wife who was gentle enough!
"Eh? What's wrong, where are my parents?"
Shizuka, who had stayed in the kitchen and hadn't seen her mother return for a long time, came to the living room, but found only Shinnosuke there. Her parents were nowhere to be found.
"You little brat! You've fallen into my hands!"
Recalling today's humiliation, and coincidentally her mother wasn't around, Shizuka immediately prepared to teach Shinnosuke a lesson.
How dare he call her Shizuka in front of her parents, it was truly infuriating. Her mother even said that the two of them were a very good match!
However, this time Shizuka's punch towards Shinnosuke didn't succeed as easily as before, instead her wrist was directly caught by him.
???
Shizuka completely didn't expect Shinnosuke to be able to block her punch? Then what did the previous few times mean, was Shinnosuke going easy on her?
"Shizuka-chan, if you're always like this, no man will like you."
"..."
Shizuka pulled her hand back, her face flushed and she lowered her head.
"No need for your nagging."
"What do you want to eat? Let me think of a way."
Is this the law of tsundere inevitability? Every time one tsundere disappears in the world, two tsunderes will appear!
After an epic tsundere like Eriri disappeared, Shizuka was easily conquered by Shinnosuke, transforming from a leftover iron girl into a shy tsundere who denied her feelings.
Who is the next tsundere? Is it Toru Kazama or Yukinoshita Yukino? It's a bit hard to guess.
"I don't mind, Shizuka should go see your parents, I'm afraid Uncle Hiratsuka is in danger."
"Ah? What's wrong?"
When Shizuka found her parents' bedroom, she saw her mother dragging her battered father out of the room.
Yukie had just found out that her daughter had always failed in blind dates because Ryoka had secretly sabotaged them!
Did he really want Shizuka to be single her whole life? When they both got old later, leaving their daughter lonely all by herself?
After educating Ryoka properly and making promise that he would no longer interfere with Shizuka's blind dates, Yukie finally let him go.
However, after this incident, Yukie became even more satisfied with Shinnosuke. In this day and age, very few boys were so considerate.
And she realized that her daughter really liked this boy, it's just that the age difference between the two was quite large, and there was a forbidden relationship between teacher and student, making it difficult to be together.
Oh well, she wouldn't interfere with her daughter's affairs anymore, happiness had to be fought for oneself.
Ryoka came out of the room with his head lowered and feeling very ashamed. He had indeed made a mistake in this matter and didn't dare to argue with his wife at all.
"Coach Shinnosuke, next time when you look for a wife, you must find a gentler one!"
Shinnosuke nodded, not expecting him to be of the same opinion. But even though he said that, didn't he still marry a slightly rough wife? Or would gentle women also gradually become rough after marriage? He couldn't help but think of Misae.
It had been a long time since he had seen his father, mother, and Himawari, he missed them a little.
