Ch.23 Arrived at The Company. A Pervert's Father is Also A Pervert

For a while after that, my bizarre catchphrase play continued until we reached our destination.

And by the time we arrived at our destination,

"…… So tired."

I was tired.

I feel somewhat mentally exhausted, and also physically tired, specifically, my throat feel tired.

Honestly, they keep trying to get me to say one line after another...

Look.

"The car is covered in blood ja."

Did you know? All of this is nosebleeds!

How excited were they? Especially Mizuki.

This is already far beyond a lolicon.

"Oh, how embarrassing..."

"Mizuki, you still have blood on your nose."

"Mahiro-chan's loli voice was seriously too cute... It was really amazing, it made quite an impact."

"Miho, you have nosebleed too."

I have come to think, in this short amount of time, that she might be a pervert disguised as a pretty girl.

I suppose a pretty girl who gets nosebleeds from a loli voice is a bit strange. No, I myself do not mind it at all, and 'tis not a problem for me.

In the end, she is my family, after all ja. The real deal.

"Ojou-sama, Mahiro-sama, Miho-sama, we have arrived. Please come this way."

"Oh, okay. Shall we go then?"

"Mizuki, at least wipe your nosebleed first..."

As if I am letting you go looking like that.

◇◆◇

We were taken to an enormous building ja.

As soon as we step inside, we are greeted by an incredibly beautiful interior.

On the back wall there's a plaque that read "Uishi Group Holdings."

This place might just be...

"Mizuki, is this the place? Your father's..."

I ask Mizuki, who is right above me.

By the way, as usual, I am being carried. So comfortable.

"Yes, this is the company."

"...Hey, our outfits don't look weird, do they? I'm starting to feel really out of place, even just at the entrance."

"There's no problem. After all, school uniforms are formal attire worn at occasions like weddings and funerals, so it's perfectly fine."

"Even so... there's someone in a very high position over there, isn't there?"

"That gentleman over there is the president of Yotsuba Heavy Industries, isn't he?"

"...The name of a truly outrageous construction company came up though."

"By the way, the person sitting over there is the president of Hitachi Bank."

"Wow, how amazing. The Uishi Group is quite a large company indeed."

"Well, it's considered one of the leading companies in the country... If you think about it normally, you married someone from a pretty incredible background."

"If you are going to say that, then the same goes for you ja. Well, to be precise, you got married and had a relationship with me, and as a result, you also had a relationship with her too ja."

"Really..."

I never imagined I would end up marrying Mizuki, who was considered the object of everyone's admiration at school.

...I just had a thought.

"Hey, was it really okay to not give our greetings before the wedding? I thought that things like this were something one would do beforehand, not afterwards..."

I may have already said this before, but what happened to that?

I was pressured into agreeing, as if I had no choice, but usually 'tis the other way around, right?

"It's a bit late now, Mahiro-chan."

"It's too late now."

"Miho-san and I have already received permission from our parents."

"...That is true, but... will I be alright? Will I be killed?"

"It's alright. Otou-sama is certainly a strict man, but he's not the kind of person who would kill a little girl. Besides, even if that were to happen, I would definitely protect you."

"...Damn. I was a little startled. Even though I used to be a man..."

"Aren't you becoming more feminine in your mental state as well?"

"...Well, it seems that a person's mind is pulled along by their own body."

Perhaps that is already happening to me.

However, Mizuki's last words gave me a jolt.

No, maybe 'tis more of a "heart-fluttering" feeling?

Well, either way is fine.

Either way, it means I am in love, for some reason.

"By the way, Mizuki, I was just wondering, have you ever had any marriage proposals?"

"Oh, yes, I did have some. Just so you know."

"Was there not anyone there that made you think, 'Ah, this person seems nice'?"

"There's no way there is anyone else. As I said this morning, my type is someone like Mahiro-chan. There's no way I could fall in love with any man other than Mahiro-san." (TL: San as in her male version)

"You, do you not realize that what you are saying is quite outrageous?"

"Huh? Did I say something strange?"

Ah, she is doing it unconsciously.

So, she is a pervert without even realizing it.

First of all, saying you like little girls is already weird, and saying you never fall in love with men is even more disturbing.

No wonder Mizuki's father was confused.

"This elevator is really long."

As I walked through the entrance and got into the elevator, I muttered to myself.

"It's a pretty tall building, after all. It's 70 stories tall, you know?"

"...That's really mind-blowing."

"Indeed."

As expected from the Uishi Group.

Big companies are amazing, are they not?

After chatting about trivial things for a while, the elevator finally arrived at the top floor.

"Come on, this way."

"What floor is this?"

"This is Otou-sama's private floor. The chairman's office is on the floor below. So, this is a place where Otou-sama can stay when he is busy."

"So, does that mean Mizuki lives somewhere else?"

"Yes. It would be quite difficult to commute from here. Besides, we do have a proper home."

"Since it's Mizuki's house, it must be quite large, right?"

"Yes, I suppose so. From a general perspective, I think it's fairly large."

I have absolutely no faith in the "fairly" part.

After all, she did complain (or something like that) that the driver did not arrive in a Lamborghini instead of a Limousine.

Miho must have thought the same thing. She had a look of distrust on her face.

"Okay, this is it. Otou-sama is already waiting for you inside."

"...What should I do? I'm so nervous."

"Would it be better if you write the character for 'person' on your palm and swallow it?"

"Do you think that will be effective in this situation?"

"No."

Those kinds of things are only a temporary comfort, to begin with.

I asked Mizuki to let me down in front of the door.

It would be awkward to go in while being held, after all.

"Let's go in then."

With a bright smile, Mizuki knocked on the door.

『Enter.』

A low voice could be heard coming from inside.

Oh, that is the voice I heard back then.

"Excuse me."

"Excuse me for intruding."

"Oh! Mizuki! And is that young lady with the red hair Miho? Welcome! ...So, where is this marriage partner of yours?"

The voice sounds completely different at the beginning and the end, though...

Hmm, am I being viewed as an enemy or something?

"Yes, Mahiro-chan, please go ahead."

"Hmm? Chan?"

For a moment, Mizuki's father let out a questioning utterance, but I ignored him and entered the room.

"Excuse me for intruding."

"Hmm? Mizuki, this girl is..."

"This is Ouka Mahiro-chan, the person Miho-san and I are married to."

"Hello, I am Ouka Mahiro ja."

"......W-WHAAAAAAAAaaaaaat?!"

Well, 'tis understandable that he would be surprised when his daughter's partner turns out to be such a young girl.

Even I would be surprised if, if I had a child, that child brought a young girl to marry.

"Are you really my daughter's...?"

"Umu."

"...I had heard that the person in question had developed 'TSF Syndrome,' but...I never imagined it would be a little girl like you. I thought it would be someone more frivolous."

"Mu? So you thought the person who came was a woman who had turned into a man?"

"Yes, that's right. I never imagined that it was someone who had changed from a man to a woman..."

"Well, 'tis normal to think that a girl would fall in love with a man. I am sorry that I am a woman."

"No, I think it's still okay if it's a woman, so there's no problem... But you speak like a really old person."

"Well, you see. I loved my grandfather."

I wonder how many times I have explained this now.

Well, I guess it cannot be helped. It just goes to show how strange the way I speak is.

"...By the way, when did you first develop symptoms?"

"This March ja."

"So, that means you were a man until then, right?"

"Yes, that is right."

"...I really doubt it, but did we meet last year?"

"According to Mizuki, we have met. If I recall correctly, Mizuki ran away from home after you rejected her romantic preferences. Afterwards, I lectured both of you."

"...Ah! It's you, the kid from that time! I remember you because you were a man with the guts to speak to me like that, which is rare these days! So you're the one from that time. In that case, I have no objections to Mizuki's marriage."

Mu? No objections, you say?

"And here I was thinking I might get killed..."

"Ah, so you heard from your parents? Certainly, if some strange man had come, I might have been strongly opposed... but someone like you is more than welcome. Besides, since you're their child, it's more advantageous to approve than to oppose."

"...Who are my parents, really?"

What kind of parents would make the chairman of Uishi Group think it would be advantageous to support our marriage...?

"Besides, if I think of it as having two more daughters, it's all advantages for me too. After all, having cute daughters is a great joy for any father."

"I used to be a man though."

"If you got 'TSF syndrome,' you can think more in terms of your current gender than your original gender. It's about being more in the present than in the past."

Well, I thought he was a pretty strict father, but he is actually quite normal.

On the contrary, is he not a good parent?

Mizuki's reason for running away from home was trivial, but in reality, it was not that bad...

"And besides..."

"Besides?"

I wonder what is wrong? He is trembling slightly...

That's what I was thinking at the time, being so carefree.

"I... I love little girls!!"

...Suddenly, something unbelievable was revealed.

"I especially love girls like you, with your sleepy eyes and old-fashioned way of speaking! The contrast is irresistible! Also, I think your cherry-blossom pink hair, which is unrealistic, suits you very well and is wonderful. After all... lolis are the best! I would be happy if there were more girls like you! And of course, Miho-san is welcome too!"

While we stood frozen in place, Mizuki's father spoke passionately.

And so, Miho and I, frozen in place, thought:

「Ah, that is Mizuki's father alright.」

Like that.

In the end... A pervert's father is also a pervert.
