Yousei Bishoujo ga Nounai de Tasuke wo Motometekurundaga?

on’t think that’s the problem…”

For some reason, in the current conversation, Atsushi seemed to understand even more, that the parent and child in front of him were out of touch with the world.

“Excuse me… manager”

There,

Kaede with an uncomfortable look, finally entered the conversation.

“S-sorry, I-I’m sorry for the inconvenience…”

“? Aaah, I don’t care.
I don’t care about that.
No one cares about it.
More than that, are you okay? are you feeling sick? If anything, want to touch my chest?”

『”Oi, you damn pervert. What are you talking about? That’s a sexual harassment statement, you know?”』

“Are, you know it’s a joke, a joke.
Girls who can’t take a joke aren’t popular, you know?”

『”Such a disgusting and gross joke, will not affect your popularity.
If that’s the case, the world will go in a different direction than now. Atsushi-san, please tell this bad father something.”』

“Huh? even if you say that…”

It’s a shame that you’re just as disappointing as him, no, you’re worse.

Atsushi muttered in his heart, but he dared not say it.

However, even when after Kaede heard Makoto’s words, she continued with a sloppy tone.

“B-but…”

“Stop.
You’re an important employee of mine and an important friend of my daughter.
And I’m not the kind of person that’ll make a fuss just because of such a crazy guy’s words, you know? If anything happens, say it to me.
And rely on me.
From my point of view, you are still a child.
And it is the adult’s duty to protect and guide you.”

Yes, Makoto gently said so, and put his hand on Kaede’s shoulder.

What he said was nothing special. It should be natural for adults to protect children. He just said something normal.

But, no, that was why,

For Kaede today, it resonated with her more than anything else.

“…hi… hick”

“A-ara, what’s wrong? Did I say something wrong?”

『”No, far from it, I think there were many things she thought about when she saw the sudden change in you? Dad, if you get angry, your tone will get rough as if you’re a different person, and your words start to sound annoying.”』

“No, no, is it your place to say that?”

It shouldn’t be the line that came from a girl who would talk non-stop like a machine-gun when she got angry.

Anyway, Kaede then said.

“N-no… it’s not that… I was… it wasn’t that… I’m scared… just that… everyone… all of you… was so kind… warm… so…”

Even though Kaede had caused a lot of trouble, the people in front of her treated her normally without worrying about it.

It was absolutely impossible for those who were in her previous school.

In order to protect their position, they would calmly turn their back and sometimes even kick you further down. Kaede who saw such a reality, couldn’t help but be very happy to have people who could accept her even after she made trouble.

That was why, she shed tears.

Seeing Kaede’s appearance, the three smiled a little.
