I, Who Was Reincarnated as an Evil Character With Cheat-Level Stats in an Eroge, Will Live Freely in This Life
“Today was really fun.”
After getting home, I ate dinner, took a bath, and just relaxed.
In my past life too, I never hung out with friends in groups like that, so in that sense, today was truly enjoyable.
When I first came to this world, I was convinced I didn’t need friends, but now I clearly see that was a mistake.
Comparing how I spent time alone without friends in my past life to now makes it obvious. The joy and sense of purpose are completely different. The warmth in my heart is totally different too…
The start was sudden and surprising, but I’m really glad I got close to Kana.
If Miku and Saki hadn’t gotten close to Kana too, we’d probably be more distant than we are now.
Thinking that, I found myself smiling naturally.
“Still, next Saturday…”
Saturday, June 28th. That’s Kana’s birthday.
Wanting to stay at my place on her birthday… well, that makes sense, doesn’t it? Thinking about it makes me nervous too. But still, I’m looking forward to celebrating Kana’s birthday. I should buy a present… What would Kana want? Knowing her, she’d probably be happy with anything, but since it’s a special occasion, I want to give her something she actually wants.
Just as I was thinking about that, Kana called at the perfect time.
“Hello, Seito-senpai? Is now a good time?”
Kana usually sounds more lively when she calls, but today she sounded a bit more serious, or maybe just quieter.
“Yeah, I’m fine. What’s up?”
“Well… today my mom and dad asked me about my stepbrother. And I told them everything—why we fought, and about you, Seito-senpai.”
I knew they’d ask. Suddenly not even making eye contact at home? Of course parents would be worried.
By the way, both Miku, Saki, and I knew this situation was coming. So we told her it was okay to be completely honest about what happened between us and about the rumors about me.
Of course, I was worried about how Kana’s parents would feel about the rumors about me. But that didn’t mean I could make Kana keep it a secret or tell lies.
“I see. So, how did it go?”
“Well… To put it simply, they said I didn’t have to force myself to get along with my stepbrother. They told me I didn’t need to hide my feelings just because of him…”
Kana said this with a happy expression.
I didn’t know Kana’s parents at all, but from what Kana, Miku, and Saki had said, I’d assumed they were pretty kind parents. And it turned out I was right.
“I see… That’s good.”
“Yes. But there’s one problem, though.”
“A problem?”
“Well, actually… My mom and dad aren’t completely unconcerned about the rumors. They seem to have understood that I genuinely like you, so they’ve accepted it for now…”
So that’s it… Well, from the perspective of parents with a daughter, it’s only natural they’d worry if there were bad rumors about their daughter’s boyfriend. That’s only natural.
“What do you mean ‘for now’?”
“Well… they said they want to see for themselves, so they want to meet and talk with you, Seito-senpai. They said they want to meet you and then decide. Is that okay?”
They want to meet and decide… I figured we’d have to meet and talk about this situation eventually anyway, so this works out perfectly.
“I want to talk to Kana’s parents too, so of course it’s fine.”
“Thank you! So, about that… My mom and dad said they want to meet as soon as possible. What should we do? The only days both of them are off are Saturday and Sunday… But on weekends, Kana stays over at Seito-senpai’s house…”
Well, that’s true… If Kana’s parents want to meet soon, it’s definitely better to meet them as soon as possible.
…But wait, did Kana tell them she’d be staying at my place?
“By the way, Kana, did you tell your parents you’d be staying at my place? You said you told them everything earlier, but…”
“N-no… I only told them I’d be staying at a friend’s house…”
Kana said this, looking embarrassed.
So what does that mean?
The whole point of meeting Kana’s parents this time was to see if they could trust me.
Kana staying at my place should be pretty important news to her parents…
“Shouldn’t she have told them?”
“Is… is that a problem?”
Whether she should have told them or not is a bit hard to judge.
It depends on each situation, and someone like me is probably pretty unusual.
In my case, I’ve always had a lot of rumors surrounding me. I don’t have Kana’s parents’ trust, and I’ve never even met them. Plus, my parents aren’t even living at my place anymore; it’s just the two of us.
I don’t know the right answer myself, but thinking about the future, maybe I should tell Kana’s parents about her staying at my place.
Actually, even before that, if I think about it, meeting them first is definitely the better choice. They’ve asked me to introduce Kana to her parents, so letting her stay at my place before that just feels wrong.
“I can’t say for sure about that either, but I want you to introduce me to Kana’s parents next Saturday.”
“W-well, I guess that’s fine… b-but is that really okay? What if it doesn’t go well? Then what about the sleepover…”
Kana said this anxiously, and I understood what she meant.
It’s her first time coming to my place, staying overnight, and it’s her birthday—a huge event.
If her parents opposed it on a day like that, what should be a fun day would instantly turn into hell.
But even knowing that, I still want to meet them first. And I want to get them to accept us, even just a little.
That way, both Kana and I will definitely feel more at ease and can truly enjoy ourselves.
If, hypothetically, Kana’s parents did object… well, we don’t need to think about that now.
If we ignore their request to meet just because we want to have fun, and then have Kana stay at my place anyway… that would show zero sincerity. Sure, maybe they wouldn’t find out if we didn’t tell them, but that’s not the point.
It’s already a question of whether they can trust me or not…
“It’ll be fine. Let’s get Kana’s parents to approve of us first, then spend time together. That way, both Kana and I can truly enjoy ourselves, right?”
“Y-Yeah, you’re right… Okay! Let’s do that then!”
“So, next Saturday is fine for meeting up, right?”
“Yes! I’ll tell Mom and Dad that!!”
“Got it.”
After that, I had a little fun chatting with Kana and ended the call.
