Asuna responded with a smile, appearing very friendly, "What do you think?"

Although Kiritani-chan is wearing a suit and looks rather androgynous, anyone with a discerning eye can tell her identity by her flat chest and her increasingly prominent Adam's apple, except for blind pioneer StarCraft players.

"As expected!"

Completely oblivious to Asuna's meaning, Rito Yukinari revealed an "I knew it" expression, then bypassed Asuna and quickly walked to Kiritani-chan, who had just heard the whole story and was now wearing a very subtle expression. Just as he was about to extend his hand in a gentlemanly manner...

"oops!"

He tripped over his own feet and fell to the ground with a slightly panicked expression.

Izayoi Shinji looked up at the sky, as if studying the truth of the universe, or as if looking at aliens who might appear soon.

Asuna clenched her fists, suppressing the urge to beat up her older brother at home, and took a deep breath—what should I do if my brother suddenly triggered a passive skill and pounced on my boyfriend? I need help urgently!

If I had to say something, shouldn't I explain to my brother that the one who got tackled was actually my boyfriend? Is Kiriko-chan not actually a person, just someone with a different voice?

No no no no!

I guess I'll just let my brother keep thinking about Kiriko-chan's voice until he dies!

"Um...can you...get up first?"

Kiritani-chan was very angry, so angry that her face turned slightly red, her hands, clenched into fists, trembled slightly, and even her knuckles began to turn white.

I did consider triggering the God Throw skill when facing a cute and adorable girl, but I never imagined that I would be the one to be thrown by God Throw—oh my god! I was so scared that I almost used Starburst Stream!

"Ah... um, I'm so sorry! I'm really sorry!"

Rito Yuuki blushed and awkwardly got up, forcing a smile. He scratched his head, looked at Kiritani-chan sheepishly, and reached out to help him up. "Um... are you alright?"

Are you crazy?! My voice is so obviously male, how come you didn't realize I'm a man?

And also, when you pounced on me just now, you put your hand on my chest and instinctively rubbed it, right?

By deflecting Rito Yuuki's hand, Kiritani suppressed her irritable adult impulse and felt a deep sense of awe that Rito Yuuki had survived to this day without being crippled!

"No, I'm fine. Just stay a little further away from me!"

"Oh...oh, that's good, that's good!"

Rito Yuuki nodded awkwardly, somewhat relieved that he hadn't been hit this time. After all, even if the maid in his house was tackled, he would slap her without hesitation. What was even more outrageous was that even though he hadn't tackled Shinji, he would still be hit with a combination of slaps when there was the slightest hint of something! — Yes, everyone else ignored this, even the Yuuki couple.

There's a reason why Rito Yuuki didn't mistake Kiritani for a boy.

Girls, when suddenly pounced on, will always blush with embarrassment and indignation, and will subconsciously fight back—Kiritani-chan is pretty much like that now.

If he were a man, he would definitely have pinned Mr. Yuki to the ground and beaten him up without saying a word...

"Dude, go back home, please don't embarrass yourself!"

If it were someone else who got tackled, Asuna might have chosen to watch out for her brother's misfortune, but now... ugh, I feel so angry. I've never tackled anyone like that before.

Pointing at the gate of the mansion, Asuna raised her voice, clearly annoyed.

"Wait a moment, there are new instructions!"

Just as the atmosphere was about to change, Shinji stepped forward and said, "Madam requests that Miss go to the garden first—Miss Lala is looking for the location of Young Master Rito."

"Oh? Well... I'll go first, see you later."

Finally, Rito Yuuki waved to Kiritani-chan, who looked quite reluctant.

So, is Lala more important?

"Mom wants me to go over there? Where are the people?"

"The master is waiting for the young master in the study."

Shinichi stepped forward and nodded to Kiritani-chan, "Please follow me."

"...Hey, Kazuto, you absolutely have to be serious when you're in front of my father!"

"...Okay, I understand!"

From today onwards, he's my father-in-law!

If we could get along like my dad... well, just think about it for a second, anyway, that's unlikely to happen.

Following Shinji to the study, I had thought that it would be a little better if there were two of us, and that even if there were any unexpected situations, Asuna could help turn things around. I didn't expect that we would have to go our separate ways.

The house was large, but also very quiet.

It took quite a while to reach the study. Kiritani-kun paid no attention to the scenery along the way, as he was preparing his words.

Different occasions require different wording. You can't just throw out a dirty joke while talking about marriage, can you? What would Asuna's father think if that happened?

They probably think that Kiritani-chan's unreliability is off the charts, and it's best not to marry their daughter to him.

So... the only option was to imitate the ancients and fight our way out!

Shen Zhi knocked on the door. "Sir, Young Master He has arrived."

"Well, come in."

It sounds like a very serious voice.

With a soft "whoosh," Kiritani straightened the wrinkles in his clothes and pushed open the door.

PS:

The female character route is alright...

Hmm, I've just remembered a very serious problem!

What are Asuna's parents' names?

By the way, I was just saying that the "blade tip" thing was just a casual remark; it's fine if you don't want to throw it away (it's definitely better to get more rest after all).

502

[NO.493 Anyone who objects to this marriage will have their head smashed.]

Shozo Yuki, Asuna's father, appears to be a rather serious type of person.

When Kiritani pushed open the door and walked in, he saw Yuki Shozo's slight smile.

It probably won't be too difficult to handle?

"Ah, it's with people."

Yuki Shozo chuckled softly, looking Kirito up and down while nodding slightly, a hint of satisfaction flashing in his eyes, and he seemed to be in a rather good mood.

"I've been waiting for you for a while now, you've finally arrived."

"…Sorry to have kept you waiting."

Wait a minute! Isn't this completely outside the scope of the situation?

According to Asuna, both of her parents were the kind that were difficult to deal with. Her father was somewhat easier to handle, but her mother... well, let's not even talk about her.

But what's going on now? It's completely different from what I expected. Where's the difficulty I was supposed to face? Why does she seem even happier than me?

"It's alright, it's alright, come and sit down first."

Yuki Shozo waved his hand dismissively and smiled as he gestured for Kiritani to sit down. "You must have something important to do, otherwise you wouldn't have come so suddenly. You know, I've been waiting all these years for you to dare to come home with my daughter."

Wait a minute! What?! What?!

Seeing the slightly bewildered expression, Kiritani-kun was a little at a loss. Logically speaking, shouldn't Yuuki Shozo be thinking about how to stop his daughter from dating too early? What exactly is he trying to do now?

However, Kiritani-kun obediently sat down in front of him, while Shinji, who had been following behind, poured tea for Kiritani-kun from the teapot before leaving the room and closing the study door behind him, leaving the two of them alone.

"Hmm, not bad young man, although his facial features are a bit too soft for a boy."

Yuki Shozo withdrew his scrutinizing gaze and said with a smile, "But, well, that's not important to me."

...Whether these things are important or not doesn't matter, but isn't your level of excitement a bit excessive? I've come here to ask you to marry your daughter to me!

"Anyway, let's have something to drink first. I know you can't drink alcohol, so some tea will do."

As he said this, he raised his glass, which was clearly filled with wine, and gave Kiritani a look. Kiritani might not understand Yuki Shozo's unusual happiness at all, but it was clear that he needed to go along with Yuki Shozo now.

Clink glasses with them, then drink the tea in your cup.

"Ha! It feels so good to drink in the study!"

Yuuki Shozo licked his lips, his smile undiminished. "So, tell me now, what did you come here to tell me? Or perhaps, what do you want to do?"

There was a faint hint of anticipation.

"I'm here to visit you and your wife."

Kiritani-kun remained silent for two seconds before answering.

You see, when Shinji was leading the way earlier, Kiritani-kun was prepared to be challenged and had prepared his responses. But now, his future father-in-law is completely unpredictable. What should he do? Should he be a little more subtle and slowly bring up the topic, or should he just state his purpose directly?

"This is mostly just a side effect, I don't want to hear it, think it over before you speak!"

Yuki Shozo tilted his head. "If you don't have any ulterior motives, I don't believe you would dare to come over. Asuna's mother is very strict."

"..."

Kiritani-kun was stunned for a moment, his face full of bewilderment.

If you don't like it, then change it. Where did you come from, kid?

...Wait a minute, if you only drank one glass, the alcohol shouldn't taste this strong, right?

Kiritani glanced at the bottle on his left, which was only half full, meaning that... Yuki Shozo was a little drunk.

"I... I actually came to tell you that I want to talk to Asuna..."

"With my daughter? What for? To marry her?"

"You knew that?!"

Kiritani-kun's eyes widened in astonishment, a shock he hadn't felt in a long time, as if he were about to unleash it all today.

"Ha, isn't that obvious? Meeting the parents is really no big deal, especially for a young person like you who can chat with the older generation like friends. It's just that you can meet anytime. There's no need for you to rush to ask the trustee to make me stay at home and wait for you to come back."

Yuki Shozo rubbed his forehead and said with some emotion, "We've known about your situation from the beginning. It's not like we turned a blind eye or anything, since things were still under control. We wanted to see how far you kids could go, and well—we knew from the fact that my dear daughter cooks for you every day and even takes care of your daily needs."

"The result is excellent!"

"Because of that idiot son Rito, Asuna's life hasn't been entirely according to plan! — We all really love Asuna, so our investigation into you has never stopped, but I'm very satisfied! — Hmm, your father-in-law is very satisfied with you, do you understand?"

Yuki Shozo suddenly straightened up and reached out to pat Kiritani-kun on the shoulder with considerable force.

"……Understand!"

Kiritani pursed his lips and nodded vigorously.

"However, there are also some demands you've made!"

"any request?"

"It's nothing really. Go back and practice your drinking. You can't even drink with your father-in-law, what kind of person are you?"

"...Yes, I will!"

Kiritani nodded. Although the request was absurd, it was also quite practical.

Moreover, he has already heard the best news. Let alone going back to practice his drinking skills, he would not hesitate to drink right now!

Alcohol? It'll just make you drunk for half a day, right? What a joke!

"I know you treat Asuna very well and won't let her suffer any great injustice. Even if I asked you to give Asuna the best living conditions, you could easily do it with your current abilities. As for taking care of her... well, you two just need to take care of each other. I won't say anything more. You two can do your thing."

"Oh, right."

Suddenly, as if remembering something, Yuuki Shozo looked concerned and asked, "Has your birthday... passed yet?"

"A while ago, just now..." With a strange expression, Kiritani blinked.

"You're sixteen now, it's okay for you to get married."

Yuuki Shozo stroked his chin, thinking for a moment, looking slightly troubled. "Today won't work, there's not enough time. Tomorrow is a bit too rushed—ah, when were you planning to get married again? This weekend?"

"Um...would this be......"

Kiritani-kun weakly raised his hand and tentatively asked, "Wouldn't that be too much..."

"So you really think it's too slow? Okay then, it's decided to do it the day after tomorrow!"

With a wave of his hand, he readily decided on the wedding date. "I'll contact Changge later; it's been a while since I've seen him."

...What I was trying to say was, isn't this going too fast?
