章 1965: Which one?

Faced with a gaze that could be akin to a lion eyeing its prey, I decided to stand my ground and not falter against it. My head may have been visited by silly thoughts but... I don’t think I can afford to give a bad impression here.

I passed a hurdle when Fuyu’s mother told me that she respects her daughter’s decision, whatever it may be. But I doubt any father would like it if their daughter chose a menace like me. I mean, that’s also why Elizabeth’s father kept on his act of being against me because he wants what’s best for his daughter. Maybe if I also became a father to a girl in the future, I’d be acting the same as them.

“Good evening, uncle. I’m sorry for coming this late in the night.” I politely said before bowing slightly.

From what I heard from Akane, Fuyu’s father worked as an associate supervisor in a company based in our city. His standing might not be that high if compared to those at the top but it’s pretty much enough to give them a stable life.
