"At the moment, I just want to get to know Miho since we only met a few days ago. But I'll be completely honest… I intend to pursue her earnestly."
Daichi felt that if he didn't speak the truth now, then he would not be able to hold his head up high in the future. He couldn't be cowed by anyone, even if that someone was Miho's father.

The laughter subsided after a few moments, bringing back the tense silence.
"Good, very good. I like an honest man." The Dean said, taking another look at his daughter's pursuer.
"With that kind of attitude, you shouldn't have a problem winning my daughter over."
