Dinner party

"So, you are the one courting my daughter and Nozomi at the same time and trying to be a Harem King. You got guts, boy."

"I don't know who you heard this false information from. But I can assure you that I am not interested in becoming a Harem King and I am not courting Irina or Nozomi."

Mike replied to Touji's statement with a completely confident look. It seems that Mr. and Mrs. Shidou came to the house when Mike is still in the bath. So, Mrs. Shidou took Gorou's place in the kitchen so that Gorou can keep Touji company. Irina stayed here since she isn't interested in cooking.

"Huh?! Are you saying that my daughter isn't cute enough for you to court her?!" Touji became angry at Mike. "Are you saying that she acts so much like a boy that you can't look at her as a girl?! Even though she wears boyish clothes and doesn't even try to be girly, even though she has perverted delusions from time to time, my daughter is still cute!"

"Papa! I hate you!" It was Irina's turn to become angry since she felt like her father was scolding her rather than Mike.

"Ah! My... My Irina hates me... Ah, my heart..."

Touji felt like dying after he heard that. Well, you reap what you sow.

"Hmm... Aren't you misunderstanding something, Touji-san?" Mike spoke to Touji casually "When did I ever say that your daughter isn't cute? Sure, I mistook her as a boy. But even at that time, I thought that she has a cute girly face and I still think that she's cute. And who cares if she doesn't act girlish? She doesn't do anything wrong and she's happy with herself. So, is there any need for her to change? I think Irina's fine the way she is."

Hearing this, Irina's heart went doki-doki and her face became bright red. She covered her face with her cute little hands and dashed into the kitchen. Well, it's a fact that children develop crushes easily.

And after Irina ran away from there, Gorou is the one who spoke "What did I tell you? He's a natural-born chad. I know that I can trust him with my legacy."

Gorou looked really proud. And as for Touji...

"My daughter's growing huh... She's already at her rebellious phase even though she's so young. She developed a crush. Eventually, she would get married... Ah, my daughter is going to be separated from me... When did I become so old?"

Touji went into his own world. Mike understood that Irina got that habit from her father. Gorou called out to Touji.

Touji looked at Gorou and then looked at Mike. Touji caught Mike's shoulders. "I am entrusting my daughter to you. Take care of her, if you ever make her sad, I swear I am going to slice you into two."

"Would you please keep that line to yourself till your daughter actually gets married?" Mike sighed.

Apparently, it isn't easy to bring Touji completely come out of his delusions just like Irina's case. Before anything else can go on, a shout came from the kitchen "Dinner's ready!"

Nozomi, Irina, Miki appeared from the kitchen along with a black-haired mature woman, Mrs.Shidou. All of them were holding the dishes they prepared for the feast. But Irina is deliberately avoiding Mike's gaze.

"Ara~ So, you are Mike-chan! Nice to meet you. I am Irina's mother."

Mike greeted her back. Mike wondered about what type of person she is.

"I heard about how you pushed down my daughter and had your way with her. You will take responsibility, won't you? I am looking forward to my grandchildren!"

'Well, I guess Touji-san is better than her. At least, he stopped at marriage' is what Mike thought after hearing Mrs.Shidou's statement.

"Mama! What are you saying?! Children?! To have children means to do that... Awawa! No! It's too lewd!" And Irina lost her composure. She's too easy to tease.

But the one Mrs.Shidou wanted to tease remained calm.

"Mrs.Shidou, the matter about me pushing down your daughter is an overly used joke. But let me apologize again for that accident."

"Ara~ You are really calm and collected. It's no fun though..." Mrs.Shidou looked disappointed at Mike's calm reply.

"Hubby! Let's eat! I put my love in my cooking! It will definitely taste good!" Nozomi is eager to make Mike eat her cooking.

So, everyone complied with her wish and had dinner. Mike tasted Nozomi's cooking and he felt that she did pretty good for a beginner. So, he praised her. When he thought everything is going normal for a while. But suddenly Nozomi shouted.

"You liked my cooking, right? So, I want a reward from Hubby!"

Mike understood that he jinxed it. "Alright, but only if it's something that I can do."

Nozomi took the food with chopsticks and put it in front of Mike "Hubby, Say aah!"

The reward Nozomi wished for is feeding each other. Mike smiled with a sigh. "Fine"

Nozomi kept feeding Mike until Nozomi noticed that another person is giving her jealous looks.

"Ah, Shidou-kun! Do you want to feed hubby too?! Fine"

"Ah! is... is it okay?"

"Definitely! You are already a part of the harem!" Nozomi was about to give the chopsticks to Irina but stopped and took the food and put it in her mouth first. After she took it out of her mouth, she said "Ah, I almost gave Hubby's first indirect kiss to you."

Mike calmly expressed himself "Would you please stop making a harem for me without my permission? And I am sorry to disappoint you but my first indirect kiss belongs to my onee-chan."

" "Eeeehhhh?!" " Nozomi and Irina were disappointed, To be honest, Gabriel took a lot of firsts from Mike like 'First indirect kiss', 'First direct kiss', 'First naked bath together', 'First breast sucking'.

"I thought I was making a harem for Hubby. But I was already a part of an existing harem for Hubby?!" Nozomi exclaimed with disappointment. "Well, whatever. As long as he likes me. I can just aim for his other firsts."

"Why are you so fixated on a harem?! Shouldn't you normally try for one on one?!" Mike felt that it was wrong for Nozomi to be so devoted to a person. Mike can't understand Nozomi. He felt a little frustrated about that fact. And he felt frustrated that the adults are accepting Nozomi's statements so easily.

"Because Hubby is too good to be monopolized!" Nozomi said with a bright innocent smile.

Mike couldn't understand the meaning behind those words. He sighed. "I seriously can't understand you at all."
