After some intense "gaming", we finally went upstairs to start studying in Kana's room.
"Come on, Hotaru!" I pulled on Hotaru who was gripping on to the motorcycle arcade machine.
"No~! Not until I beat Haruka!" she gripped tighter on the handles of the bike.
"Haha! Train for another five hundred years, little one! Nyehehehehe!" Haruka gave a laugh comparable to a certain evil villain.
"Let's go, guys! I have to drop by Daddy's office!" Kana said.
Hearing this, Hotaru frowned and let go of the handles.
So now there we were, walking up a giant flight of stairs. Why does this atmosphere feel like a boss room? I mean, technically, Kana's father is the boss around here, so it makes sense.
'Haha, how amazing would it be if boss music plate' I thought.
Next thing I knew, we were in front of a massive door leading to the boss.
Wh-what? I meant Kana's Dad's office.
Seeing Hotaka tremble in fear, I tried to make small talk to comfort him.
"Yo, you good?" I asked.
"Ah, you know, just mentally preparing myself for my inevitable death." he jokingly replied.
"Haha..."
"Are ya ready guys? I'm gonna introduce you guys, so make up a really cool introduction! Except you, of course, Hotaru. Daddy already knows you."
"Mhm! I've thought of mine already! Open it!" Haruka said with high spirits.
Hotaka gulped, and stood straight and said "Yeah."
All I did was nod at them.
Why do I get the feeling that there's actual boss music?
Everyone went silent, and a faint ominous sound of boss music is audible...
Sigh, what's next, a health bar?
"Hey, Daddy!"
"Oh! You finally decided to come here! Did you have fun in the basement?" Mr. Sayuri said.
How did he know we were in the basement? Huh, pretty weird. Oh, maybe security cameras? That's both pretty cool and pretty weird...
...Wait. Is this really what Kana's father looks like?
My expectations were shattered. Hold on let me turn on my author mode.
'Mr. Sayuri fell short of my expectations. For what I thought was a muscular big bad man, with plenty of guns on the wall, was just a fantasy of mine.
It appears as Mr. Sayuri is nothing but a healthy middle-aged man who cares about his family.'
Haha, nice. I still need to work on it though...
"Yeah! Though we had to stop short because we have to study! Anyways, let me introduce you to my friends!" Kana replied.
"Ah, what a surprise! Thank you so much for looking after my daughter! I know she can be much sometimes, but thank you for staying by her side!" Mr. Sayuri thanked us.
"What do you mean? I'm not that bad! Right, guys?!" Kana turned to us
To avoid awkwardness, I looked towards the ground and nudged the rest to say something...
Haruka scratched her head and said," Well, you aren't that bad!"
"So I am bad?! But not that bad?!" Kana shouted.
"That's not what she meant! Haruka is just stupid and doesn't know how to convey her feelings properly! You're not bad at all!" Hotaru was quick to comfort Kana.
"You're pretty good Kana." Hotaka shyly said.
"Anyway, shouldn't you kids study now? It's already half past noon. What time did you guys get here?"
"We got here at 10 AM, which means... Oh, shoot."
Wait, we've been playing for two hours already?!
