บท 295: No one will doubt it

Kominami Clinic.

"Kamikawa Ren and I are just classmates. What's wrong with you?"

Asumi who was standing behind Ren explained to her father.

Just now, after her father saw Ren giving her money on the street, he seemed to misunderstand, and then Ren was forced to follow her to her house.

"Since you are classmates, why should he give you money?"

While raising his glasses, Soujiro asked another question.

While walking on the street, he suddenly saw a strange man giving money to his daughter, this would arouse suspicion.

"I'm just working. Didn't I tell you before that I would get money for my school?"

Asumi didn't panic too much, after all she was innocent and made money through her own efforts.

"Work for a living?"

Soujiro looked suspiciously at Ren, who was sitting there silently.

He really couldn't imagine what kind of job a student from the same school as his daughter could be given, except that...

"Yes, he is a tutor, and I am his teaching assistant," Asumi emphasized, "This is a very serious job, not a shameful job. Don't think too much about it."

"Tutor? Teaching assistant?"

After hearing this, the suspicion in Soujiro's eyes dissipated slightly.

"Sorry, I misunderstood you."

"Does not matter."

Seeing he finally got the chance to speak, Ren answered.

In fact, from now on, he didn't understand what Asumi and her father were talking about, there were some misunderstandings, and he always felt inexplicable.

Didn't he just give today's salary to Asumi? Is there anything wrong with this?

That's why he couldn't understand human logic.

As for the fact that he was taken to Asumi's house, Ren didn't care much, after all, for him, it was a bit late to go home.

"When I saw you guys just now, I thought it was my daughter who was looking for a boyfriend." Glancing at Asumi who was pouring water for Ren, Soujiro looked more relaxed.

Asumi raised her head and said very dissatisfied: "As I said, we are just classmates, and he is one grade younger than me."

"What happened? I saw my daughter acting affectionately with a man on the street. Can't I still be suspicious?" Soujiro coughed a few times and asked.

"Wait, you misunderstood before that he and I were a couple?"

Putting down the kettle and wiping the spilled water, Asumi suddenly realized something.

"If not?"

Asumi took a sip of water and said matter-of-factly.

"Oh, it is okay."

Asumi waved her hands in embarrassment, pretending as if nothing had happened.

She clearly misunderstood what her father was thinking just now.

She felt embarrassed when she thought that she especially emphasized that her job was a serious job.

"Your name is Kamikawa Ren, right?"

Thinking of the name his daughter had just mentioned, Soujiro asked.

"Yes." Ren nodded.

"I just heard Asumi say that you are a tutor, so your grades must be very good?" Soujiro asked.

"No, that's very common," Ren denied firmly.

"Dad, don't listen to his nonsense. His grades are very good, otherwise he wouldn't be a tutor." Asumi patted him hard on the shoulder to warn him not to talk nonsense. "He just likes to joke, don't take him seriously."

After finally explaining it, she didn't want to cause any further complications or let her father misunderstand.

"It's natural for young people to like to joke."

Seeing that Asumi never took her hand off Ren's shoulder, Sōujiro continued to ask: "Since Kamikawa-kun is Asumi's junior, how did you know each other? "

"That..."

Ren was about to answer, but Asumi suddenly covered his mouth with her hand, physically preventing him from speaking.

"It's in the library. I was studying at the time, and I came across a question that I didn't know. Kouhai-kun taught me that question, and that's how we got to know each other."

Asumi said frantically, and also made up events that sounded quite reasonable.

She would never let Ren tell her father that they met at the maid cafe.

Ren: "😐"

He didn't really understand why Asumi would lie like that.

However, since she covered his mouth with her hand, that meant she definitely didn't want to answer.

So he closed his mouth and listened quietly to Asumi's explanation.

"I see."

Seeing the two interacting so closely, Soujiro suddenly understood something.

Seeing that the questions were over, Asumi let go of her hand covering Ren.

"Then Kamikawa-kun..."

Realizing that her father still wanted to ask more questions, Asumi hurriedly said: "Um...It's getting late now. It's time for Kouhai-kun to return. Otherwise, what would happen to his family if he waited? If dad has any questions, just ask me later."

After saying this, Asumi pulled Ren to feet and hurriedly left the room.

"Asumi has grown up."

Watching the two people leave, Soujiro shook his head helplessly.

······

"Kouhai-kun, what's wrong with you? Didn't you promise to help me keep the secret that I work at a maid cafe?"

After leaving the room, Asumi began to settle accounts with Ren.

"I kept it a secret," Ren answered honestly.

"Then you still have to tell my father that we met at the maid cafe." Asumi said about what just happened, "If I didn't react quickly, I would have been discovered by now."

"But I'll just say that we met at the maid cafe, and I won't say that you work there." After organizing his language, Ren answered very calmly.

Just because they met at a maid cafe, doesn't mean Asumi has to work there.

"Isn't this the same thing?" Asumi complained, "Besides, how can any girl go to a maid cafe?"

"Oh."

"Forget it, if anyone asks where we met in the future, just say the library, and the story of how we met is the same as the one I just told my dad." Asumi reminded, "As long as our statements are consistent, no one will doubt them."

"Okay."
