Akira’s Invitation

BBQ restaurant.

Takebayashi grilled meat and vegetables, then placed it on Akira's plate.

Seeing this, Mr. Takebayashi frowned because his daughter paid more attention to her boyfriend than to him.

"Don't be jealous of your daughter's boyfriend. You're not behaving maturely."

Realizing her husband's mood, Mrs. Takebayashi served meat on his plate.

"W-Who's jealous? I'm just annoyed thinking about work at the office." Mr. Takebayashi argued while putting meat in his mouth.

(Ugh... Seeing a middle-aged man acting tsundere, this is an eyesore) Akira thought to himself.

He didn't like tsundere women. According to him, dealing with tsundere was exhausting because they couldn't be honest about their feelings.

Fortunately, except for Nino, Akira didn't know any other tsundere women. Moreover, Nino's tsundere was still within his tolerance.

If it were tsundere like Louise, Taiga, Shana, Karane, and those who used violence to cover their embarrassment, Akira couldn't stand facing women like that.

While he was thinking about this, all the meat was presented in front of him mouth, and Takebayashi's voice was heard.

"Come, Akira-kun, eat, or Dad will finish all the meat. Let me feed you."

Takebayashi saw her boyfriend not touching the meat and looking lost, so she took the initiative to feed him.

"Say aah~"

"Aahh..."

Opening his mouth, Akira bit into the meat on the chopsticks.

For some reason, he felt the meat tasted better than usual.

Next, Takebayashi continued to feed Akira. Her lips curved into a thin smile.

When she saw sauce on Akira's lips, she took a tissue and wiped him.

Their intimacy made Mr. Takebayashi break the chopsticks out of frustration.

If it weren't for his wife, he would kick that scoundrel who stole his beloved daughter.

"Father-in-law, your face is red, are you sick?" Akira decided to tease his father-in-law.

"Who are you calling father-in-law, brat!"

Mr. Takebayashi slammed the table while glaring.

This commotion drew the attention of other diners.

"Calm down, Dad." Takebayashi said helplessly.

"Honey, don't embarrass our family."

Mrs. Takebayashi didn't expect her husband to get emotional just because he was called a father-in-law.

Honestly, she approved of her daughter's relationship with Akira.

Except for Akira's age being too young, he was perfect in other aspects.

Appearance? He's quite handsome, and considering he's still in adolescence, his appearance will get even better in the future.

Family background? He's the son of the director of a famous hospital in Tokyo. Even though he has five twin sisters.

Simply put, Akira is a dream man for many women.

Even Mrs. Takebayashi regretted that Akira was not born in the same generation as her.

Of course, she wouldn't say this. Otherwise, her husband's pride would be hurt.

"I'm full. I want to smoke."

Unable to bear seeing the couple in front of him, Mr. Takebayashi stood up and left the table. He was worried that his blood pressure would rise if he continued to watch their intimacy.

"Akira-kun, don't think too much about it. He hasn't accepted that Miyako has a boyfriend. Don't worry; I'll convince him." Mrs. Takebayashi said with a smile.

"Thank you very much, aunt."

"Aunt? Shouldn't it be mother-in-law?"

Akira glanced at Takebayashi next to her, who was eating with a blushing face and bowed her head. Seeing her not denying, her silent attitude was the same as affirmation.

"In that case, I leave it to my mother-in-law to convince my father-in-law."

"Um."

Mrs. Takebayashi nodded in satisfaction.

The three of them continued with their BBQ meal.

After eating, Mr. Takebayashi and Mrs. Takebayashi went home.

Takebayashi still wanted to spend time with Akira, so she didn't go home with her parents.

The two of them went to the riverside and walked hand in hand.

"I apologize for my father's rude behavior, Akira-kun."

"It's okay. It's a normal reaction for most fathers when they find out their daughters have a boyfriend. I would react the same way in that situation."

"..."

Takebayashi's cheeks turned rosy.

Her imagination ran wild, and she imagined having a child with Akira.

"Hey, Miyako, are you okay? Do you want to rest?"

Akira noticed no response, then turned and saw Takebayashi lost in thought.

"Ah, what did Akira-kun say?"

Returning to her senses, Takebayashi tried to act normal, but her face felt hot, and her heart was pounding.

"After you finish your studies, do you plan to stay at your parents' house or choose to live alone?" Akira repeated the question.

In Japan, it's not uncommon for students to rent an apartment and live alone.

"My plan is to stay at home. Besides, the distance between my house and the University of Tokyo is not too far." Takebayashi replied, not understanding why Akira asked this.

It's only five stations away to get to the University of Tokyo. So, she didn't need to rent an apartment, which would save her money.

"Do you want to live together?"

"Eh?"

The sudden question made Takebayashi stop and stunned in place.

Akira pulled her onto the grass and sat down, then explained his reasons.

"You also know, Miyako, my five twin sisters took different paths to achieve their dreams. The apartment I occupy will be empty due to their busyness. Therefore, I suggest living together. You don't mind, right?"

Ichika didn't continue her education and focused on her career in the entertainment industry. Nino and Miku chose culinary arts majors, Yotsuba chose a sports major, and Itsuki attended a major that allowed her to become a high school teacher.

Because of his unique identity and not wanting to spend his school days in a parallel world, Akira was very free.

"..."

Seeing Takebayashi hesitating, Akira added.

"As for the rent, you don't need to worry. I'll pay for it. Moreover, I'm not short of money. How about it?"

"..."

Thinking about this issue seriously, Takebayashi didn't immediately give an answer. After thinking for a long time, she nodded gently.

"Um. Let's live together."

Her face turned as red as an apple.

"Thank you, Miyako, I'm so happy."

Seeing her agree, Akira hugged her tightly. Anyway, this was his first girlfriend. Of course, he appreciated it very much.

Although he had an ambiguous relationship with many childhood friends, he never crossed the friendship boundary so that they wouldn't misunderstand.

For him, touching a middle school girl would make him conscience feel guilty.

*🌨️🌨️🌨️*

While the two of them were hugging, suddenly it started pouring rain.

"Let's find shelter."

Pulling Takebayashi's hand, Akira ran.

Unfortunately, their clothes were soaked by the rain.

After a while, they found a love hotel as a shelter.

Looking at the room pictures on the LCD screen, Takebayashi's face turned red.

Akira's eyes twitched, not expecting he would go to a love hotel in such a situation.

They both stood still in front of the love hotel.

Akira noticed Takebayashi's clothes were see-through due to the rain, and her underwear was clearly visible.

Women are very sensitive to lewd gazes from men, Takebayashi noticed Akira's body, then she bowed her head.

She was shocked to see her underwear visible, she quickly crossed her hands to cover it.

"Akira-kun is perverted."

"Cough. That was unintentional." Akira made a weak excuse.
