"Speaking of which, a parent-teacher conference for three people, and I'm the only one attending??" Haru asked, holding Kohaku and Hisui's soft, small hands, as he addressed Akiha, who was leading the way.
Akiha, in the end, was a born lady.
Elegance seemed to be etched into her very soul. Feeling the curious and teasing gazes of the many passersby, she had, out of shyness, released his hand and taken on the role of guide.
"It's the same class!" Akiha turned slightly, brushing a stray strand of hair from her face, her slightly flushed face filled with a hint of displeasure, like a little girl who hadn't gotten her candy.
This father, who didn't even know his own daughters' class situation, she was filled with a multitude of complaints.
But every time she looked at Haru's face, she would become that—coy and hesitant girl again.
In the end, a person's personality and thoughts are largely determined by their childhood education. That's why modern society places such importance on early childhood education—
—And Akiha, who had been indoctrinated with the concept of 'a father's love is as vast as a mountain' since the age of five, was already locked on the 'father-daughter' route.
In the end, this was the victory of the Genji Project!!!
———
"Sorry, sorry. I've been too busy, I've neglected you all. It's my fault. I'll be sure to 'make it up' to you these next few years," Haru said, his face filled with apology, his tone apologetic as he addressed the three girls, emphasizing the words "make it up."
"Hmph!!" Unlike the twins, who shyly said it was okay, Akiha snorted and turned her head away, not letting Haru see her flushed face.
...
"Father, look at other people's fathers. How much time do you spend with me in a year?"
"Sorry, sorry, Papa will finish up this business and take you on a trip during the winter break!"
"Mom, can I apply for off-campus housing? Isn't our house in Misaki Town?"
"…I'll talk to the teacher about it later."
The other parents and children heading towards the academic building, seeing this scene, all began to 'riot.'
To outsiders, it looked like a busy father apologizing to his three daughters, vowing to make up for their lost childhood. Though the father was a bit young, and the daughters a bit old, if other people's fathers were willing to make amends, how could their own remain indifferent?
With this in mind, many of the young women, who had been maintaining a ladylike demeanor, all began to throw tantrums.
However, in the minds of the four instigators of this scene, the compensation they envisioned was of a decidedly R-18 nature.
Even Akiha, with her back to Haru, had secretly taken out her phone and ordered a king-sized bed from a furniture store, preparing for the next few years of her life.
Alice, mixed in with the crowd, unaware of the four's true relationship, though she saw the strange emotion (lust) in Kohaku and Hisui's eyes—
—In the end, people are easily influenced by others. When so many people pointed to it as a scene of filial piety, Alice subconsciously ignored the abnormalities and also believed it to be a scene of filial piety.
In the end, the majority rules—it's practically ingrained in human DNA.
At the same time, watching the heartwarming scene, a question arose in Alice's mind. 'From his reaction when our eyes met earlier, he didn't seem to recognize me. Does that mean… he didn't see my face that night?'
Alice stood at the entrance of the academy's middle school, watching as Haru led his daughters up the steps, a thoughtful expression on her face.
'My forest barrier has a visual-blurring effect. And he didn't react at all to my tracking earlier. So, if we assume he's just a normal person with some special abilities, that would explain it.'
'He probably saw someone being killed in the park, but didn't see their face clearly. That's why he didn't react when he saw me, and why his guard is so low, like a normal person.'
"A special normal person?" Alice muttered to herself.
After Haru's figure disappeared, she turned and left.
She planned to return home and use the Kuonji and Aozaki families' information networks to investigate whether the Tohno family was a special family of espers, to verify her theory.
"The strange gaze is gone, Papa, Sis," Hisui said, clutching Haru's arm tighter as they walked up the stairs, her voice a whisper, inaudible to a normal person.
"It's the witch from the high school," Kohaku said, also tightening her grip on Haru's arm, a hint of coldness in her eyes.
Though young, under Haru's deliberate training, both girls were exceptionally skilled in stealth, perception, and even combat.
"We haven't even gone looking for trouble with her, and she's already coming after us," Akiha said, her tone flat.
Reien Girls' Academy was a money-making subsidiary of the Holy Church.
As the daughters of the Church's big boss, and as the academy's behind-the-scenes controllers, the three girls naturally knew the true identities of all the students—
"She was so quiet before, why now?" Kohaku said, her tone strange. The reason Alice had enrolled in a Christian academy was to prove to the Church that she was harmless.
Since she was a witch under surveillance, and a powerful True Magic User's protégée, the Japanese Holy Church had tacitly allowed Alice's free movement.
Otherwise, a witch was excellent promotion material for those fanatical Executors. If not for her protector, Alice would have been burned at the stake in her youth, not allowed to slowly study and become a powerful witch.
"Don't worry about her. I have my own plans," Haru said softly. Then, ignoring the three girls' slightly changed expressions, he walked up the steps.
'Own plans. Probably another candidate for a mother.' X3
The three girls immediately stopped, glaring at Haru with a hint of displeasure, then helplessly abandoned the useless gesture.
Just then, Haru, who had been pulled to a stop by the suddenly halted Kohaku and Hisui, felt something bump into his back.
Thump—!
The sound of something falling down the stairs suddenly echoed.
"Huh?!" A bewildered voice reached Haru's mind.
