Chapter 54 Parents who you can get along with

Aika went out if the balcony and stepped on the yard. She took out her phone and dialed her house’s phone. After a few seconds of ringing, the voice of a woman answered the phone, “Aika, it’s pretty late. Are you going home now? Want me to pick you up?”

“Uhh… Mama, I’m sorry that this is sudden, but I’m going to stay at my classmate’s house for tonight.” Aika nervously talks on the phone.

Aika’s mother was silent for a moment and then asked, “… Is it a boy’s house?”

Aika wanted to lie here, but figured that it wouldn’t do her any good if her lie was exposed, “… It is.” And she immediately regretted that.

From the other side of the phone, she heard her mother shouting, ” Papa~! Our hopeless darling daughter got a boyfriend! ”

“Wrong!!!” Aika blushed and shouted, but she remembered that there are other people inside, “He isn’t my boyfriend!” She controlled her voice, but it was still pretty loud.

From the other side, she heard her father shouting in the background, “WHAT!? Honey! Ask her the address of her boyfriend! I want to make a quick visit now! By the way, have you seen my baseball bat? The one from our high school days, the nails on it has probably rusted, but it should do a fine job.”

“Stop it you idiotic father of mine!” Aika couldn’t help but shout again. This is the reason why she wants no one to listen to their conversation.

“That’s right, Papa. You shouldn’t disturb your daughter now. She’s currently in his house and would stay a night.” Her mother agreed to her, but for a different reason.

“What did you saaaaaaay!!? Honey! Ask her the address now! Meanwhile, I’m going to take out my katana and harpoon from my weapon crate.” Her father’s voice became deeper as he started talking about his weapons. Aika knew that her father went to somewhere as she can here some running footsteps going away.

“Mama! Stop Dad! We’re just having a sleepover! And I’m not alone here! An underclassman, and the Student Council President! So it’s not what you think!” Aika is panicking now because she knew her father wasn’t joking. Although her father won’t really hurt anyone, that doesn’t mean he can’t give psychological traumas.

“… Both are girls?” Her mother asked. Aika had a bad feeling but still answered, “Yes.”

“A foursome!? Damn, this guy is good. Are you sure that you want to give your virginity to him? I trust your judgment of people, but, don’t you think that’s too much for your first time?” Her mother asked her in a worried tone.

Aika wanted to smash her head to the ground but she, fortunately, managed to hold it in, “We won’t have a foursome!!!”

“So you have him all for yourself? Good going girl!” Aika’s mother cheered from the other side.

“I’m not giving anyone my chastity!” Aika cried out loud The people from the inside probably heard her shouts but she doesn’t care anymore. She can just tell them that her parents are messing with her and nobody will know their true colors just from her words.

“No need to be shy, sweety. I also went through that. By the way, do you want my advice? Reality and the knowledge you have from your books can be quite different after all. And you need some protection, want me to send my pills over? Hmmm, gotta go. Your father is already chanting his warcry.”

“NO! Thank you! And Goodbye!” Aika lost her patience about end the call. But before she can do that, she heard her mother from the other side, “Wait! Don’t forget to introduce him to u–”

Aika looked up to the sky and sighed heavily. After calming herself down, she braced herself and think of excuses for the things she shouted earlier, ‘What did I shout again? The dangerous ones are ‘foursome’ and ‘chastity’. Both are troublesome, but I can just say that my parents messing with me by staying at a boy’s house.’

Aika reentered the house and saw their awkward expressions, well, except for Kisuke who has an annoying grin.

But before she could explain herself, Kisuke’s mother, Sakura asks her awkwardly, “If you insist on doing that, you can use the shop. No one will bother you there. But you have to take those pills that your mother offered to you. You’re still young after all.”

“… What?” Aika then thought of something, ‘Aren’t these people either Devil, Cat Girl, Talking Cat, and Human Magician… it couldn’t be… right?’ A bad premonition overtook Aika and she asks, “How soft can you hear.”

Kisuke’s grin became larger and almost confirmed Aika’s thoughts, “Almost all of the denizens of the supernatural world have superhuman senses.”

“Then?” Aika gulped still wishing that she was wrong.

“Everyone here can at least hear a mosquito flying from 10 meters away. What do you think is louder? A phone speaker or a mosquito flapping its tiny wings?”

Aika slowly covered her red face and suddenly knelt, “UWAH!”

Kisuke still couldn’t let her off, “Now I know where that personality of yours came from.”

“UWAAAH!!”

“Uhm, Aika-chan. Should I prepare some tea? It seems like your parents are coming over.” Sakura asked the downed Aika.

“Please don’t. They won’t.”

Kisuke hasn’t had enough and continues to say, “You shouldn’t let your mother worry too much for your future to the point that she is very happy at the thought of you having a boyfriend. Cut down on perverted things will ya.”

Aika stopped crying at his words and uncovered her face staring at Kisuke. It is the expression of someone who accepted despair and has a crazy glint in their eyes, “If I can’t find a husband to marry, I will grab your leg and never let go of it. You’ll have to take care of me forever. Hehehehe.”

“…” Everyone else also looked at his direction. Kisuke didn’t expect that a cornered Aika would act like this so he hurriedly changed the topic, “Yosh, Shitori-Kaichou. Let’s do this! This match will change our destinies.”

“Ah… He escaped.” Sakura commented.

“Senpai you wuss.” Koneko followed up.

“As usual, you can’t deal with those who are too straight forward.” Yoruichi nodded knowingly.

“Man up and take responsibility. You shouldn’t tease people so much in the first place.” Sona has a word of her own.

But all of this was ignored by Kisuke and just calmly drank his tea, “Ahh… Life is a mystery.” And started talking nonsense.
