Chapter 38: A Talk With Irresponsible Parents

It's been two days since my chat with that asshole Tanaka and I've been very busy, there's so much paperwork to see, statements to check, and people to investigate that I think I'm going to go bald even more from overwork.

"I need more assistants" - I sighed as I finished organizing several documents.

"If Master wishes I can get some nice secretaries for Master~" - Enma smirked.

I don't know which bug bit Enma and Kiara, but in the last few days the two of them have been making comments about increasing the number of women around me, it's like they want me to become King Solomon with several hundred lovers.

I once asked them why they did this and the answer they gave me astonished me.

Kiara smiled bitterly. - "I am concerned about the sexual frustration of the Master, I am the embodiment of lust and sexual pleasure, but even with my abilities I cannot keep up with the Master"

Enma nodded. - "If there is a tragedy greater than a father who sees his son die, he is a man who can fuck beautiful women, but he cannot be satisfied"

The most worrying thing is that not only those two women with obvious mental problems thought like that, even Asagi who is supposed to be the sanest woman in my mansion said something similar.

"You are accumulating too much stress to the point where you almost develop stomach cancer twice in a week, to make matters worse even a sexual monster like Kiara can't beat you in bed so I am worried that sexual frustration might break your mind, I have I've seen cases like this and I don't want that to happen to you"- Asagi told me with such sincere concern that I couldn't complain that it was something ridiculous.

Actually, I think they exaggerate, while it is uncomfortable to get an erection while the women who sleep with me literally faint from pleasure, I feel that the happiness of being around people I love is much more satisfying than sexual pleasure.

I really don't understand Hentai anime protagonists who only think with their crotches, I personally enjoy hugging Asagi more while watching a movie instead of having sex all night, I don't know, maybe I'm the one who is strange.

Leaving aside the fact that it scares me that the women around me want me to become a Harem Anime Protagonist, it is true that I have been very stressed from work and I am very weak against stress.

"I don't know what you plan to do, but don't do it, I already have enough problems with the fact that you removed the barrier to block sound when we went to bed last night and now Mikan and Kei are looking at me like I was a beast" - I sighed tiredly, Enma's antics are getting worse.

"Fufufufu, I'm going to bet that pair of frustrated lolis masturbated all night ~" - Enma started laughing like hell.

"… Please, stop putting weird ideas in my head" - I hate to say it, but recently I have noticed that I am starting to pay more attention to the appearances of the girls in my mansion.

I just hope I'm not turning into a lolicon and that it's just the side effect of my emotional dependence that makes me fall in love with women who treat me with a certain affection. On second thought, maybe that's worse ...

Enma stood behind me and started nibbling on my ear. - "Fufufufu, my dear perverted Master is finally accepting that likes little girls? If the Master wishes, I can lend you my loli version, Asagi and the others will not know ~ "

"Enma for the love of God, I am a responsible adult" - I sighed, Loli Enma is like my daughter so I am not going to put a hand on her.

"Fufufu, my loli version can feel what I feel so she's already addicted to Master~" - Enma stopped trying to seduce me and started laughing mockingly.

"Stop reminding me, it makes me feel like a criminal" - There are days when I consider turning myself in to the police, but then I remember that in the police files my name is registered with 'Diplomatic Immunity' and I can only sigh.

The power of money is terrifying, unknowingly I already gave the UN a middle finger.

"Even so, I can really find some secretaries to reduce Master's work" - Enma stopped smiling and showed a worried expression.

I feel that little by little Enma is managing to develop empathy and concern for living beings, which makes me happy.

"Don't worry Master, they will be professional and hardworking women, I just have to look for beautiful women with good management skills, kill their families and force them to sign a slavery contract so that they cannot betray the Master" - Enma's cute smile it was a cruel stab at my expectations.

"Don't do it, really don't do it" - My concern that one day a hero will appear wanting to kill Enma continues to grow.

"Fufufu, the Master can't take a little joke" - Enma smiled mischievously, but despite the short time we met, I learned to differentiate when she is serious.

"Let's not talk about this anymore, will give me nightmares" - I finished arranging the documents on my desk and got up to leave my office. - "Let's go or we will be late"

Today I have a meeting with Mikan's parents so I am about to go to her house.

Mikan is not in my mansion at the moment, she returned to her house to speak with her parents and prepare her bags to move in with me.

Since Mikan developed a trauma towards the outside world and unknown people, to prevent her from feeling too scared she was accompanied by Saki and Rinka with whom she became good friends.

For the girls' safety, they were escorted by Asagi, Shaku, 5 Taimanin ninjas, and a squad of man-eating monsters guarding them from the shadows.

Asagi said I'm overprotective, but Mikan is too cute and this world is full of perverts.

Regarding adoption, I will talk to Mikan's parents so they can convince the traumatized loli to come home as the most important thing for a growing girl is to have the support of her family.

I plan to offer them a large amount of money so that they do not have to work and can take care of Mikan.

I thought about doing the same with Kei, but she insisted that she would live with me since she doesn't think her family will be safe if she comes home.

"The world is tragic" - I sighed feeling sad that two pretty girls were always scared because of the lustful desires of some idiots.

"Emotions provoke wishes and wishes cause tragedies, the solution for a happy world is to eliminate beings with emotions and wishes" - Enma shrugged.

I decided to ignore her for the sake of my already deteriorating emotional health.

I left my mansion and went to my limousine, as always the driver was waiting in the car making me question if he lives in this car.

I decided not to ask questions whose answers would make me feel uncomfortable and got in the car heading to Mikan's house.

"Do you think everything will work out?" - I drank a strawberry milkshake while relaxing.

"Of course Master" - Enma smiled innocently.

"Will it be a true disaster?" - I sighed.

"Yep ~ A complete disaster" - Enma returned to her evil smile.

I tried to be positive and think about the different possible scenarios.

Mikan's parents may be irresponsible idiots who care more about work than the healthy development of their children, but they should still love Mikan, after all, parents will always love their children… Right?

Oh, now that I remember, Saki and Rinka ended up in a bad situation because they were sold by their parents...

"Now I'm worried" - I want to go home and eat ice cream while drawing circles on the floor.

"In the worst case I will only kill them" - Enma shrugged.

"You're not helping" - My craving for ice cream is increasing.

Continuing with the little jokes that only caused me depression we finally reached Mikan's house.

Asagi texted me saying that Rinka and Mikan went out with Rito and some girls to eat ice cream.

I was surprised to learn that Rito seemed to have become close to two girls even though his meeting with Lala didn't happen, but it wasn't my problem so I didn't ask for information.

Since Asagi had dressed up to look like a schoolgirl the same age as Saki, she was able to accompany them without problems.

Just in case I asked Asagi to castrate Rito if the little idiot had a 'lucky accident' with her, Rinka or Mikan.

As for the other girls, if they are with Rito it's because they shouldn't care that an idiot groped them so I don't care, each one has their own fetishes.

In order not to attract attention to my limo, I got out of the car a couple of streets before reaching Mikan's house and walked towards the house, then rang the bell and waited.

"Hello?" - A female voice spoke from the intercom next to the doorbell.

"Hello, I am the principal of the Yamada Academy, I spoke before to speak with the parents of the student Yukki Mikan" - I spoke as courteously and kindly as I could to make a good impression.

According to Asagi, when I don't make stupid faces I give the impression of being a kind and calm man which makes me happy.

"Oh, principal! We were waiting for it "- The voice that should be Mikan's mother spoke enthusiastically.

After a few seconds, a cute orange-haired woman opened the door with a big smile.

Comparing her to the women in my mansion she could only be described as normal, but that didn't stop my phobia from activating making me feel uncomfortable, but it was something tolerable for Mikan's sake.

"Please come in, principal" - Mikan's mother smiled politely and allowed me to enter.

Since Enma is hidden in my shadow, I feel uncomfortable having to deal with this on my own.

I went into the house, took off my shoes, and put on some guest slippers that were in the hall.

When Mikan's mother took me to the living room I found Mikan's father who was absorbed in drawing without noticing my arrival.

"Darling, the principal came to talk" - The mother sighed when she saw her husband.

"Eh?" - The man finally looked up. - "Oh principal! Sorry for this mess, as you can see I'm a little busy"

The table in the living room was covered with manga sketches, although the drawings were good, I did not think it appropriate that this man became so obsessed with his work despite the fact that his daughter was kidnapped a few days ago...

Now I think about it.

Why did he let Mikan go out even though she just came back after a bad experience?

Didn't they even notice Mikan's bad emotional state?

Didn't they try to ask her what happened?

I'm starting to get angry, I need to calm down.

Mikan's father removed his sketches from the table and I was able to sit down. Mikan's mother served us tea and we could start talking.

"To begin with, I would like to talk to you about the matter of Mikan's disappearance" - I showed the most serious and professional expression I could make. - "I find it worrying that Mikan was missing for 5 days and there was not a single report to the police, if it were not for the call of one of her friends it is possible that until today we would not know what happened"

The father scratched his cheek awkwardly. - "Actually I think Mikan's friend may have exaggerated, something like a kidnapping happening in the middle of the day is impossible in this country, less in this city"

What?

"It's true, we received a message that Mikan went to a study camp because of her excellent grades" - The mother nodded.

"Did they at least check that that message came from Mikan's school?" - My expression was blank with disbelief.

"Check?" - The mother tilted her head in confusion. - "I don't think it's necessary, after all, we live in a safe country, and if a problem really arose, Mikan could solve it"

… Oh God, they are irresponsible…

"It's true" - The father nodded with pride. - "Mikan has always been a mature girl who can take care of herself, she learned to cook since she was 5 years old"

"True, I have always been busy with work so Mikan has always been very helpful, since she was little she did not cause problems and even helped take care of her older brother" - The mother began to smile as if she remembered a moving scene. - "I remember when she started preparing breakfast for the family since I and my husband were busy, seeing the little Mikan of 8 years doing food for the whole family was adorable..."

They are not irresponsible, they are stupid...

"Exactly, no matter what happens, Mikan can take care of herself, hahaha sometimes it makes me wonder who is the adult in this house" - The father began to laugh loudly. - "The food she prepares is always delicious, much better than my wife's food"

"Mou darling" - The mother pouted. - "Although it's true... Mikan is an independent girl, I don't think she had been kidnapped, maybe it was just a joke for her friend"

"Mikan is so mature that she maybe she already has a boyfriend and she just wanted to see him" - The father smiled wryly. - "Today's children mature very quickly"

I couldn't take it anymore, I hit the table furiously as he screamed. - "Are you morons?!"

"Eh?" - Both idiots looked at me with idiotic expressions on their idiotic faces.

"Mikan is a 12-year-old girl! Even if she is an intelligent and perfect child, she is still a little girl who needs her parents' attention! " - I looked at the stunned expression of the two idiots. - "Did Mikan learn to cook at 5 years old? Why did she learn to cook? Did you teach her about her or did she learn why she was hungry?!"

"..."

"ANSWER ME DAMN IT!" - I stood up, I want to hit this pair of assholes.

"We-Well, it is possible that I forgot to prepare the food, but that was because my job is very demanding..." - The mother began to stutter.

I pointed to the stupid father. - "And you couldn't make something to eat for your children?!"

"I was also busy with my work..." - The stupid father tried to defend himself, but that made me furious.

"IS YOUR JOB MORE IMPORTANT THAN YOUR DAUGHTER?!" - I felt that the veins in my forehead were throbbing with fury.

"..." - The father looked at me for a moment, then showed an expression of complete seriousness and resolution as if he were a hero capable of facing the world to fulfill his ideals. - "My work is important, it is my vocation and my passion, I have always dreamed of being one of the best mangakas in Japan and I will not give up my dream"

I felt like an artery was going to explode with rage.

I looked at Mikan's mother and she had an expression similar to her father.

"I am one of the best designers in the world, I cannot put my work aside, there are millions of people who follow my work and I cannot disappoint them" - She had so much determination in her eyes that she seemed like a shonen protagonist.

Finally I got it. Mikan was a wonderful, intelligent and responsible girl, in every sense she was the ideal daughter, a daughter that not only did you not have to take care of, but she could also take care of you.

If Mikan were an adult she would be the stereotype of the perfect wife, but she is not an adult, she is a little girl, a little girl who had to act like an adult due to her stupid and irresponsible parents.

The problem is not that they hate Mikan, the problem is that they are too stupid and do not deserve such a wonderful daughter as Mikan.

I took a seat, took a sip of tea, and exhaled deeply.

"You are the ideal model of the Japanese who prioritizes his work above anything else" - I drank another sip of tea, I don't like green tea because it is bitter, but I need to moisten my mouth, screaming so much is bad for my throat.

Both father and mother smiled forgetting that I called them morons, their single-celled brains can only process compliments.

"Since you guys love your work so much so keep trying, you can be the best mangaka and the best fashion designer." - I want some fucking pancakes.

"Thank you principal" - The mother smiled moved.

"We won't let you down" - The father raised his thumb as if he were Naruto.

"Since you have a dream to fulfill then I will help you" - I finished my tea. - "I will take custody of Mikan"
