22

Some days have passed since that day that I slept with Ibara.

Taking advantage of the fact that my body is recovered I started to cultivate every day fiercely to make up for lost time.

Thanks to my effort every day I managed to get 15 more green divine drops, and 2 roses in a show of affection.

I, as a great man of culture, know how to flirt very well, so whenever Ibara comes to my house after school, we get a little stuck together.

However today I am very nervous, I had difficulty sleeping until last night if I hadn't taken one (good night Cinderella) I don't think I would have slept.

Finishing adjusting my suit and combing my hair, I started to practice the lines that I will say today at lunch.

- Nice to meet you, Mr. and Mrs. Shiozaki.

- I am Douglas, student and employee of the UA.

- I came here today with the purpose of asking for the hand of your daughter.

- We met a few months ago but we get along very well, and I believe I love her.

After speaking the lines to himself all he needs is to talk to his girlfriend's parents.

- Lord Bercouli gives me strength because I am about to face a formidable challenge.

Saying a silent prayer to the swordsman who cut the past of a God, I go to the Shiozaki home.

(controlling your breathing)

Toc-toc

- One moment I'm going.

The door opened to reveal a tall, mature woman with glasses and light green hair.

- Nice to meet you, Mrs. Shiozaki, I'm Douglas.

She put her hand over her mouth and held it out to another while she giggled.

- Nice to meet you Douglas I am Ibara's mother I hope we can get along, please enter.

I squeezed his hand carefully so as not to create misunderstandings or to be thick.

She even has a strong hand grip.

I was about to enter the house but I felt a dense intention to kill directed at me.

So this is the so-called aura of a father, which overwhelming power I probably would not last 3 movements against.

Silently entering the house, I removed my shoes and headed for the living room.

There I met Ibara and a rather thin middle-aged man with his hair being made from Shrubs.

However, I did not substitute this man, I can feel the energy he is emitting, not even ALL FOR ONE made me so nervous, I only felt something similar when I asked God if there are Goddesses of love who are not addicted to sex.

- Nice to meet you, Mr. Shiozaki, I'm Douglas.

I held out my hand to him but he just ignored me and made a little grunt as a sign to sit down.

Because I was 2 meters tall, I ended up being quite tall, I was much taller than him but it looked like he was bigger.

Ibara, who was watching this whole situation, put her hand over her mouth and got up to go help her mother in the kitchen, but I'm sure I heard a little laugh from her.

- So you're the bastard who wants to take my daughter huh.

- I like her very much sir, I hope we can reach a mutual understanding.

- There will be no mutual agreements here, I do not approve of a man who kissed my daughter before the wedding.

(Good thing he doesn't know that I slept with her)

- I promise to take responsibility, sir.

- I do not want to hear your empty promises I want to see actions, tell me what you do with your life boy.

Douglas entered into deep contemplation, raising his brain to the maximum to try to say which job is the best in this situation.

- I am Deputy Head of Security for UA, sir.

Mr. Shiozaki spat out the tea he was drinking at the time.

- I also have a license to act like a hero if I hear innocent lives being threatened in addition to being the biggest coffee seller in the country.

Douglas continued to list his legal jobs in a humble way for a few minutes, leaving Ibara's father more and more shocked.

Thoughts of mr. Shiozaki- My daughter caught a big fish it seems, however I will not give it to a man without character.

- I see, it seems that you have been well in life is not your little playbloy.

- No sir at all, I plant my food and 75% of the money from coffee sales is donated to orphanages.

Ibara's father frowned.

Mr. Shiozaki thoughts- This is strange he seems to be too perfect, it seems that I can only see his true colors over time.

- I would like to meet your parents, you don't mind, do you?

- Well sir, I'm an orphan, but a good woman adopted me and took care of me despite being single if Mr. Shiozaki wants to meet her, I don't mind introducing her.

He gave another grunt in counter-response to Douglas' statement.

- Well I'm sorry for that I didn't know you were an Orphan.

- Don't worry, I'm sure my Biological parents will be proud of me wherever they are.

- I see, if you'll excuse me, I'll go to the bathroom.

The moment Ibara's father closed the door behind him, his tough man's facade fell instantly and he started to shed tears.

The truth is that mr. Shiozaki is a shy and weak man who makes his living writing books and spreading the word of God, so when he heard Douglas's story he couldn't help but connect those stories where a Man comes out of rock bottom and rises in life through hard work.

(Imagine if he knew the truth)

Douglas, who saw his father-in-law leave the room, let out a sigh and let the tension leave his body but did not let his guard down because at that moment he is in a tigers' lair and must always be alert.

(Door noises opening)

Mrs. Shiozaki came in with Ibara carrying a tray of cookies and milk.

- Well Douglas, I hope my husband hasn't been too hard on you.

- Don't worry about it, I learned a lot from talking to him.

(spider sense beeping)

I opened my eyes and was alert, for a moment I felt like someone was looking at me like I was a piece of meat in the market.

However, the sensation lasted only a second before leaving.

Mrs. Fumiko's voice caught my eye.

- Is there a problem Douglas?

- No lady, I'm just a little nervous because your husband went to the bathroom and hasn't been back in a while.

- you are right but you don't have to worry, he should probably come back later.

She said that by raising her voice a little while doing it, then I heard a falling noise in another corridor.

Thoughts of seije Shiozaki- This is bad I can't leave my son-in-law in the same room as my wife alone she will eat him, but now that she gave the warning I also can't approach carelessly it is better that boy to take it.

Fumiko kept talking to Douglas for a while making him let his guard down, she was gradually taking information from him and seeing what kind of person he is.

- You knew when Ibara was little she was always taking her father's custom of being religious and kept talking about God with other children, so she had almost no friends until she entered school.

- Mom, you can't tell me that, I grew up.

- fufufu, You will always be my baby but Douglas why don't you tell us a little about your childhood in this case.

- My childhood was not very incredible believe me.

- I would still love to hear.

- Well if you insist, when I was little around 2 years old ....

Douglas then told him about his childhood, however how he spent more than half his life just planting and going to the hospital to offer treatment to the injured people that made the story boring and repetitive.

But Mrs. Shiozaki was absorbing the story like a sponge looking for mistakes or other bad things that she could use against him later if necessary.

After 30 minutes of telling his childhood, Douglas stopped when he saw that his mother-in-law seemed satisfied.

- Well changing the subject, I can see in your eyes that you still have something that you didn't tell my daughter and it seems to be something very important isn't it.

Douglas at that moment raised his guard to the maximum and got a look of chock on his face, Ibara who was on the side of the mother following the conversation also opened her eyes when she saw Douglas' gaze.

So that was the seventh sense of an adult woman, that was quite accurate.

- Yes, there is something I would like to say and take it out of my chest for some time to tell Ibara but I haven't found a good moment.

Ibara was once again stunned and thousands of thoughts crossed her mind, most of them beginning with betrayal and ending with a hidden daughter.

- So why don't you say it now, taking advantage of the fact that was revealed.

- I don't care, but if I say so, I'd like to talk to her alone.

Fumiko, who hoped to hear his secret, frowned mentally but still left the room giving them a space.

- Ibara, I wanted to tell you something.

Before Douglas could finish Ibara, he replied in tears.

- You have a hidden lover, don't you, she must be pregnant and you are shaking your head about how to tell me this, I do not believe that you would be that type of man I am ashamed to believe you.

- What, as a lover and a pregnant woman is not what I wanted to tell you, I feel hurt now by these accusations without proof.

Ibara, who hoped this was a Mexican soap opera scene, froze for a moment before she returned to her place and calmed her emotions.

- Well before I say that, you could get closer.

Douglas said pointing to the door with the other hand to his ear.

- Of course.

She approached him until they were face to face.

- Ibara what I want to tell you is

Ibara looked Douglas in the eye intensely, waiting for an answer.

- I don't plan on staying in this world for the rest of my life.

- AND? as well?

- I plan to travel to other planets and see different landscapes across the universe.

- Probably 1 or 2 years from now.

She curved her eyes like she was going to cry again.

- So I would like to ask you if you would come with me?

- Huh?

- I don't want to travel the universe alone with my plants for the rest of my life.

Taking a deep breath she gave her sincere answer.

- I, I'm not sure of that yet I'm not ready to leave everything behind and go with you on this journey.

- Okay, we still have time for that, I just want you to know that regardless of your choices, I will not judge you or force you to anything.

- Douglas, thanks.

We hugged and stayed in that position for a while.

(door noises opening)

The lady and Mr. Shiozaki came out the other side of the door.

- Ibara you will not even think of saying no.

The fumiko said.

- AND?

After some time explaining the situation, I discovered that Ibara's mother heard our conversation through a flower pot beside me, and that she is a maniac for space things and her original dream was to be an astronaut but as it is a job that they only accept people with useful Quirks in space she couldn't sign up and ended up having her dreams broken.

But now that she heard me saying that she wanted to take her daughter to space, she wanted Ibara to take advantage of this unique chance at all costs, and even when her father tried to refute she simply hit him.

- But mom, I'll never see you and dad again.

- I know my daughter and I will miss you a lot however I want you to see and feel something that your mother was never capable of.

After a few more conversations between mother and daughter the two hugged and were happy.

- Did you hear that it will take a year or two for that to happen? Isn't it because you are saying goodbye as if it were the last time?

The two gave a little cough and walked away.

- Well my son-in-law I hope you take care of our daughter, understand?

- I promise I'll do my best for her.

So my dinner with the Shiozaki family ended and I got permission to stay with their daughter.
