I, Who Was Reincarnated as an Evil Character With Cheat-Level Stats in an Eroge, Will Live Freely in This Life
●Nanashima Kana (side)
“I see…”
“…”
“So a lot happened behind our backs, huh?”
As I felt uneasy, the two of them said that.
I couldn’t tell what they were thinking from their expressions, but what did they think?
“Uh, yeah…”
“So Kana’s boyfriend’s name is Kisaragi Seito, right?”
Dad asked that.
“Y-yeah.”
“I see… To be honest, I have to say it’s a really difficult situation to judge.”
“Difficult?”
“Yes. I can’t help but feel uneasy about all the bad rumors, and as a parent, I’m really worried. But watching Kana just now, I could tell she really, really likes this Seito kid…”
“Yeah… I could tell Kana really likes him too… Personally, I want her to cherish that feeling, but it’s true some anxiety remains.”
Neither of them denied it, but they didn’t seem to wholeheartedly agree either.
It didn’t turn into the worst-case scenario, but what should we do about this…
“So… what would make you feel reassured?”
“Well, we only heard Kana’s side of the story, so it’s hard to say. Kana mentioned that Tsubasa dislikes Seito-kun more than necessary, and we can’t exactly ask Tsubasa himself.”
“Yeah, Kana said she hasn’t told Tsubasa they’re dating. If she told her now, it’d probably just make things more complicated…”
“Yeah. Besides, for something like this, it’s faster to meet the person directly than ask others.”
“I agree… Since he’s Kana’s boyfriend, I want to meet him and see for myself.”
The two of them said this with serious expressions.
“So… you want to talk to Seito-senpai?”
“That’s right. I want to make my own judgment…”
“Personally, I think it’s probably fine since Kana said that much… but I guess I want to confirm it myself too. Besides, Miku-chan and Saki-chan are pretty close with Seito-kun, right?”
Mom asked that.
Dad has talked with Miku-nee and Saki-nee a bit, but Mom is really close with both of them. Apparently, the moms even go out for lunch together.
“Y-yeah!! Like today, we all hung out with Seito-senpai, the four of us!!!”
“Well, that makes me even more confident it’s fine. Miku-chan and Saki-chan are really dependable.”
“It’s fine!! It’s absolutely fine!!! Seito-senpai is such a kind and cool senior!!!”
“I see… But let me make one thing clear. If after meeting him, I don’t have a good impression—or worse, if he leaves a bad impression—I won’t be able to approve. I really don’t want to reject my daughter’s boyfriend though…”
“I understand… You can’t know everything after just one meeting, but you can still tell a lot.”
A bad impression? That’s impossible.
If the two of them want to talk with Seito-senpai, then it’ll definitely be fine.
As long as we can arrange a meeting to talk, they’ll understand how great Seito-senpai is!!!
“Hehe, you look really happy.”
“…Yeah. You seemed so worried just a moment ago.”
“Huh?”
“Because Kana looked like she was about to cry just a moment ago.”
It’s true… I was worried about what would happen if you two reacted badly, or if you didn’t accept me…
“Yeah… I’m relieved you two didn’t reject me.”
“Of course we couldn’t reject you after you pleaded with us so desperately. We haven’t even met him yet.”
“Yeah, you’re right. Kana never tried that hard to convince us before. It was the first time… Honestly, even without the rumors, hearing she got a boyfriend makes me feel complicated…”
“When I heard she got a boyfriend, I was happy thinking she’s grown up. But I guess you feel differently.”
Father said that with a slightly complicated expression, while Mother smiled a little and replied.
“Well, anyway, let’s talk about Tsubasa too.”
“Yeah, let’s.”
“Of course, we want Kana and Tsubasa to get along well, but from what I’ve heard, that’s probably going to be difficult.”
“Yeah. If he won’t listen, I guess it might be hard for me too…”
Wanting them to get along is only natural. To be honest, I don’t want to fight with my stepbrother either…
I nodded as I listened to their conversation.
“I won’t know about Seito-kun until I meet him in person, but if I meet him and decide it’s okay to leave Kana with him, then you won’t need to worry about Tsubasa… I don’t think you should suppress your own feelings just to be considerate of Tsubasa.”
“Yeah, Tsubasa is probably just saying that because he’s worried about Kana, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t prioritize your own feelings. Kana’s life is hers, and she should be honest with her feelings, right? Hehehe, well, seeing Kana earlier, I thought even if we didn’t approve of Seito-kun, Kana’s mind probably wouldn’t change. It really came across how serious she is about this.”
Father said that with a slight smile, and Mother said it with a gentle smile.
My mind won’t change. I can say that for sure.
Even if they didn’t approve, I had no intention of changing my mind.
Still, they wouldn’t be like my stepbrother and refuse to even listen, so I planned to keep persuading them over and over… sometimes even getting Miku-nee and Saki-nee to help me.
For me too, I really wanted my parents to approve of Seito-senpai.
“Huh… Even if you two don’t want to accept Seito-senpai, what if I refuse to accept that?”
I didn’t think it would come to that… I knew it wouldn’t, but the possibility crossed my mind, so I asked.
“We’ll cross that bridge when we come to it, I guess? We don’t know anything about Seito-kun right now.”
“Well, if he’s someone Kana can be that serious about, I think it’ll be fine. From what I know, Seito-kun must be a good kid. He gets along well with Miku-chan and Saki-chan, after all.”
“I see…”
“Well, Tsubasa will grow up eventually, and his thoughts will change too. He’s still just a high school freshman, a kid. He’ll get emotional sometimes, for sure.”
“That’s right, Kana. So you don’t need to worry, okay?”
“Yeah! Thanks, you two!!”
“Well then, shall we eat?”
“Let’s do that.”
“Yeah!!!”
And so, I finished my discussion with the two of them.

――After finishing my meal and taking a bath, I returned to my room.
“Well, that went okay, at least…”
Up until a certain point, I hadn’t been sure how they felt, but in the end, I don’t think they were opposed.
Dad seemed to be thinking about quite a few things though… Of course, there’s the rumor about Seito-kun and all, but Mom said she has her own thoughts about me getting a boyfriend.
Well, it’s a pretty common story that fathers feel lonely or get shocked when their daughter gets a boyfriend.
What made me happy was that Mom was actually glad I got a boyfriend. She said she thinks Seito-senpai is a good kid, even with the rumors.
“I guess I should ask Seito-senpai about it soon.”
Mom said it’d be best to introduce Seito-senpai to her and Dad as soon as possible.
The only days they’re both off together are Saturday and Sunday.
But I already promised to stay at Seito-senpai’s place next weekend… What should I do? I guess it’ll be either next week, or visiting his place after we talk…
Personally, I’d rather get any worries out of the way sooner rather than later. I don’t think I’m scared, but what if the conversation doesn’t go well? If that happens, even if I go to Seito-senpai’s house afterwards, it might feel awkward…
“Anyway, I have to talk to Seito-senpai!”
Worrying alone won’t help!! Thinking that, I grabbed my phone and sent Seito-senpai a message.
