Chapter 235 – 15.14 Reika’s Parents

Today is the day to meet Reika’s parents.

The parents’ information from Reika is roughly as follows.

“Both of them have a great idea of ​​chosen people. Because he was born and raised in an entrepreneurial family, and went up to the executive level of each company. Should I say there is a sense of privilege? It might be a bit stuffy for Knives to see.”

“Oh oh. As for Reika, was she actually a rich girl?”

“No way. Of course, I grew up without lacking anything, but that’s why there are a lot of cramped things. Of course, they think that our daughter should marry into a great family that matches our level.”

“Yeah, any parent who has a beautiful, big-breasted daughter like Reika would think that way.”

“Fool. My strengths are that I only have her face and breasts?”

“I honestly think that’s Reika’s greatest weapon. More than anything, I was attracted to Reika’s heart, not her family.”

“… I think Knives’s honesty is also cool.”

“Of course I’m always cool.”

“Hmm.”

Now I’m thinking in front of the mirror.
The clothes I wore to meet Reika’s parents didn’t seem to suit me.

“What are you doing? Cosplay?”

Seeing me like that, Akane laughs.

“Cosplay is the maid outfit you wear.”

Is it cosplay?
It’s not unreasonable for Akane to see it that way.
Because now I’m wearing the uniform I received from the military.

A brand new general’s uniform, similar to the general’s uniform worn by Inazuma.
The six medals I received are piled up on my chest, and a sparkling star is embroidered on my general’s cap.

Mmm. I mean, I’m a general now.
Exactly, it’s still an inside decision.

“Poop. If that’s not cosplay, what is it?”
“It’s a date dress.”
“Date? Knives? Puffy.”
“Ah. Isn’t that exactly a date? Because I decided to meet my parents too. Meet-and-greet?”
“Sa, meeting ceremony?!”

Akane laughed at the word date, but reacted loudly to the word meeting.

“Whose parents?!”
“It’s Reika.”
“Reikaa!?”

It was Akane who made more noise at the name Reika.

“Ah. Come to think of it, was Reika Akane’s little girl?”
“What stupidity are you talking about?! Friend, friend!”
“Oh yes. I don’t know if Reika thinks so too.”

Back when Akane was at her academy, the way Akane led Reika and her gang in a tyrannical way was still vivid in my eyes.

Roughly speaking, you can think of it as Akane, the leader of the “Violence Circle Akane faction,” And her subordinate, Reika, and so on.

“What are you looking at me for? We were just a little, a little, uh, just a little rougher than a normal friend. Because it was a period of stormy anger.”
“I guess so. Or take someone and harass them. Bring 50,000 yen by tomorrow.”
“What the hell are you talking about?! And I’ve never taken a bribe!”

Hearing Akane and I bickering, my sister also entered the room.

“Oh? Knives, what is it? What about those clothes?”
“Ah. Sister.”

It just went well.
I should have told my sister sometime.

“Sister. I will be enlisting in the military next year.”
“What?!”

Akane reacted first before her sister.

“To the military? Why?”

On the other hand, my sister asked in a surprisingly calm manner.

“I was in the military for a while during the great disaster, right? There was an old man who looked at me favorably at that time, and he came in saying he would make a seat for me. Within the next year.”
“Oh my god.”

For some reason, my sister was surprised by the delay. Cover her mouth and open her eyes wide.
I guess my words about going to the military didn’t really resonate with me at first.

“This is the military conquest I received. How is it, is it cool?”

I showed off my general uniform for the first time in front of my older sister.
But my sister didn’t seem to care much about clothes.

“Wait for a sec. Then what about the academy?”
“Um, should I drop out? Because I have to enlist in the military by next year. Or would you like to talk to the chairman and get him an honorary diploma?”
“Okay… I see…”

My sister caresses my uniform with an expression of disbelief.

“Since Knives is also an adult now… It’s time for her to decide her own future. If Knives decides that, I will support you too.”
“Huh. Thanks sister.”
“Isn’t it dangerous?”
“It’s not dangerous. … Maybe.”

It must have been dangerous, but I couldn’t tell my sister.

My sister hugged me tightly and said.

“Mom and Dad should have seen Knives like this. Sniff.”
“It’s okay because I have an older sister instead of mom and dad.”

I also hugged my sister tightly.

“What’s up?”

Akane from the side put in a chuimsae as if it was absurd.
You stay still My older sister is delicate unlike you.

“And this, gold medal? Medal of Merit, abolished in 1947.”
“Huh? Is it?”

My sister, who was sobbing, pointed to the medal on my chest and said,

I don’t even know that history.
I only received it because I gave it.

“If you wear a fake medal on your military uniform just because you’re cool, you might get arrested.”
“Huh… Is it?”

It’s not fake
Still, there is no need to correct it because it will only cause worry for my sister.

Medals are basically given only when you die or come back to life from half-death. Having a lot of medals meant that I almost died that many times.

“And the ranks, you know you can’t do that outside, right? Class impersonation is a crime. It is only at home.”
“Okay, sister. I’ll do my best not to get caught.”

The same goes for rank.
Even if I put a star on it, my sister would be more worried than proud. There was a high possibility that he would not let him do things like soldiers.
Of course, it’s not something that can be overturned just because my sister is like that, and in that case it would be better to keep my mouth shut.

Akane, who had been watching quietly from the side, intervened.

“For a moment. Knives, sit down.”
“Uh? Why?”
“My head doesn’t fit. If you’re going on a date, you should style your hair to match your outfit.”

My hair is free as usual.
You said something didn’t suit you, was it because of your hair?

“Date?! Then my sister will iron the uniform!”
“Huh?”

At the word “Date” That Akane brought up, my older sister turned red and took off my clothes.
There’s no need to fuss so much…

… Hmm. Is it a fuss?
Still.
It’s been a long time, so I’m going to go with my spirits.

A restaurant in a hotel with a beautiful night view.
A man in a unique attire entered this place, which is often visited by the upper classes of society.

Well, needless to say, it’s me.
Now I’m wearing a military uniform, and my hair is all-back. I thought that something like this didn’t suit me, but my sister and Akane vouched for it, so it must be true.

Arriving at the restaurant floor, I proudly walked to the table where the people who looked like Reika and her parents were sitting.

“Hello. Knives Windsor.”
“Uh? Uh huh?”

Reika was surprised to see me and opened her mouth.
You must be surprised at how different you look. Because she didn’t tell me she was coming in a military uniform.

Surprisingly, so were the parents.
Reika said she was bringing a boyfriend from the same class, but she said why she is a soldier.

“Reika. You look prettier today wearing that dress. She is like an actress attending an awards ceremony.”
“Uh, huh? Knives?”

Reika is wearing a slim white one-piece dress. And it was a luxurious outfit that even her parents could tell at a glance.
If I had come wearing a normal academy uniform, I would have been left alone. It’s good that you came wearing a military uniform.

“May I have a seat?”
“Uh, that, yes.”

With her father’s permission, I sat next to Reika.
My father, who sits on my side, looks like a diligent businessman. He seems like a good father who is diligent at work and faithful to his family.

On the other hand, my mother was a woman with a sharp image, as if she would appear in a drama and throw water while saying something like, “How dare you go after my daughter?!” Although her breasts are large. She also said that breasts were hereditary.

“Nives, what happened? What are those clothes?”
“Huh? Ah, there is an event in the military today. I stopped by for a while and came right away. Strange?”
“It’s not that it’s strange…”

Reika was confused.
I thought that she would come in her usual sloppy look and make a mess, but even though it was different from what I expected, it was so different that it had to be.

However, I think this position is also an important one for Reika.
I didn’t think it would be best to ruin her place and run away, as Reika said.

So I chose the path of breaking through head-on.
Reika became a boyfriend that matched her parents’ eye level, and she decided to formally accept it.

“Hmm, Mr. Knives? I heard that our Reika is her classmate… Are those clothes soldiers?”

My father, who came to his senses first, asks.

“Yes. We will formally greet you. I am Knives Windsor, a 2nd year Rune Academy student in the same class as Reika.”

Up until this point, Reika knew it well, and her parents would have expected it.
But after this I don’t know.

“And at the time of the great disaster 10 years ago, I participated in the war as a member of the Japanese special operations unit, and the final rank at that time was a colonel. Currently, he is attending the academy, but next year he will be re-commissioned into the military. The official rank is brigadier general, and the position is acting military commander.”
“Uh, huh? Uh?”

Reika looked completely in a panic.
I said holding Reika’s hand tightly.

“Reika. Sorry for not talking until now. But I couldn’t tell Reika because I was on a secret mission. I couldn’t involve Reika in something dangerous.”
“Uh uh uh?”

My words made Reika more embarrassed.

Sorry. It’s a lie.
I wanted to make fun of him because his flustered face was funny.

This time, Reika’s mother asked from the opposite side of Reika.

“Umm, I don’t know much about the military, but I heard that both Mr. Knives’s parents passed away… ?”

The atmosphere was a bit different from her father’s.
It was a question that somehow felt like a hearing, contrived rudeness.

“Yes. Both of my parents died as soldiers during the Great Disaster. As a son, it was sad, but as a soldier, I think they were proud parents.”

I took a sip of the water the waiter brought and continued.

“My father is the one who inherited the legitimate lineage of the Windsor family, the British royal family, at least in a nutshell. The fact that such a father died on the battlefield as a civilian in Japan, a long-time friend of England and the country of his beloved wife, remains in my heart as an honor that shines brighter than any medal.”

I put my hand on my chest, which was littered with medals, and said.

At some point, everyone in the restaurant was paying attention to this side.
