The chaotic situation suddenly happened.
It was utter chaos, especially when almost all of his girlfriends appeared in front of his parents.
However, maybe, it wasn't Takumi's first time seeing this situation, or it might be because of his long experience as a director of a famous bank that he calmly faced this situation.
On the other hand, Shioriko, his mother, almost lost her calm. If this wasn't in public, she might have already given her son an uppercut, especially when she had heard he touched his distant relative.
"You little shit!"
Honestly, while Shioriko knew this kind of thing was quite common in people with high status, it was a different matter when it happened to her son!
"...how about we discuss this in a different place?"
Shishio's words were calm, yet one could tell how worn out he was at that moment.
---
By this point, he knew he couldn't escape his parents' scolding. Naturally, he didn't want to be scolded, especially when he was like this. If he was being scolded, it would cause his image to be destroyed.
Then, what should he do?
He decided to give them a bigger shock. He didn't bring them to the hotel where they stayed or his apartment in Shinjuku. Instead, he brought them to his apartment in Minato. It was his luxurious apartment that only came a few times a month.
While this apartment was good, he didn't live in this place most of the time since he had to say it lacked a homey feeling. He also didn't want to bring his parents to his apartment in Shinjuku since it was his love den. There were also many things that couldn't be shown there, so he chose this apartment instead of his apartment in Shinjuku.
"This apartment is...?" Shioriko looked at the apartment calmly, but inwardly, she was dumbfounded. Still, as she had become Takumi's husband for so many years, her experience was different from ordinary people, so she was relatively calm on the outside, but on the inside, she wanted her son to answer her question as soon as possible.
"Mine."
"Yours? Did you buy it?"
"No, it was a gift."
It was a gift from the system, yet he decided to stay ambiguous.
"Did you date a rich woman and get her to reward you with this apartment?" His father asked since he felt this was possible, considering the charm of his son. Honestly, while he didn't say it, he also had a similar experience to his son since he was often given many gifts from those lonely mature women and gullible young ladies.
As for feeling guilty about accepting those rewards?
Takumi had never thought so since it was their will and wished to give him those gifts, so he accepted them. Still, he wasn't like that anymore, especially when he had a lovely wife and a "good son."
Was his son like that?
If so, Takumi could only tell Shishio that he should hold back a little since he could tell that this apartment wasn't cheap.
"....." Everyone.
All eyes were on him. Their eyes stared at his figure and felt that this possibility was possible.
Yet he was unfazed and asked, "This apartment aside, can you explain to me what this engagement is about? I can reject it, right?"
'He dodged the question...'
While he dodged the question, they didn't care much, even if he got this apartment from a rich lady since it meant they only got a new sister.
That was it.
However, his engagement was different.
"Okay, but before that, can I ask you all a question?"
When Takumi uttered those words, he appeared different from an amiable old gentleman. Instead, he showed the aura of someone in a high position, above many people, and a dignified leader.
This sudden change caused the girls to be tense. They felt their backs straighten instantly and a bead of sweat trickle from their forehead, nose, and past their ears. The word "engagement" might make them forget what their current situation was, but at this moment, they knew that they were in the presence of his parents.
Right now, they are being judged!
They felt like they were criminals waiting for the death penalty.
Except Shiina didn't think of any of that and sat beside Shishio, calmly, facing her parents since all on her head, she only wanted to know what this engagement was about and whether this engagement would force them to part with each other.
The thought of them parting with each other scared her, and she didn't want something like that to happen.
"We're all his girlfriends," Shiina said innocently, then asked, "Can Shishio not attend the party and reject this engagement?"
"....." Everyone.
Still, while his girlfriends were surprised, they were firmly sat behind Shiina, ready to give support anytime.
Takumi and Shioriko also couldn't say a single word at this moment. While they knew that their son was popular and had a girlfriend, who could imagine that he had so many girlfriends?
The number of his girlfriends had already passed the number of fingers on their hands!
It was an amazing number, and what was even more amazing, they could tell that they accepted each other.
Yet all of that was far compared to the fact that they could see that love filled their eyes. Those pure eyes were filled with love and determination for him, which made them wonder how he could do this.
Still, while Shioriko was baffled, Takumi was unexpectedly calm.
"I see."
Takumi nodded and said, "I understand why you're all worried here, but you don't need to worry about that since we won't force him to do this engagement, but he still has to attend the party since it is the basic etiquette that he should have as a part of the Oga Family. However, if by knowing that you all still want him to stay and not go to the party, I can only say that it is better for you all to break up with him since you don't have a basic trust toward him or don't you have confidence in his love toward you?"
"....."
They all lowered their heads, feeling ashamed of their insecurity.
Yet, how could they not be?
They might be beautiful and had a status better than others, but in front of him, they felt they were nothing. While they knew that he loved them much, the thought of him abandoning them for someone better scared them.
Yet this also made them ashamed since it meant that they didn't trust him.
They knew that this guy was a bastard and he loved a woman very much. Once he saw a beautiful woman, he would think about how to seduce that woman, so he could copulate with her and make her his.
This was how he was, and it was also impossible for him to throw his women away since after he had marked them, it meant that they would be his forever.
Such a thought crossed their minds, and it made them at ease.
It might make him seem possessive, but they were also possessive of him, so the thought of him might be stolen by someone they didn't know, making them restless and unable to calm down.
Shishio wasn't sure why, but he felt they were thinking something rude about him.
"Excuse me, can I ask something?"
Unexpectedly, Saki Kawasaki raised her hand.
"Yes?"
"Um, are you not against our relationship?" Saki asked timidly.
"Why should I?" Takumi asked.
"I mean... there is a difference in our status..." Saki's voice was low when she asked this question.
However, Shishio's lips trembled, and his heart was tight. He pulled Saki in his arms and asked, "You're worried about that?"
"I mean... you know how my family is..."
Saki knew that her family was the worst among his girlfriends. While he might not see a problem, how about her parents?
"If that's the case, you don't need to worry. If he likes you, then we'll support your relationship."
Takumi believed in his son and knew that this guy wouldn't choose a strange girl, so he let it go. Also, they were just girlfriends, and they weren't married, so there was a chance for them to part. Even if Saki's family was a criminal or something, he didn't care much since he had this blind trust in his son "currently."
Honestly, Takumi was satisfied with his son and proud of him, especially when he thought about Shishio's achievement and how Shishio could conquer many women during his youth after Shishio came to Tokyo. Yet, as someone from a high position, he knew something he should and shouldn't say. It was better to be quiet until this matter had ended.
Saki and many also sighed in relief when they heard Takumi's words.
"So it's done, right? You should go back then." Takumi looked at his son and asked, "By the way, can we use this apartment when we come to Tokyo?"
"Why not?" Shishio didn't see a reason to refuse since it was rare for one to stay in this apartment, so it was good that someone could stay there. "Then, I will go back. Is that okay?"
"Are you going back? Where? Don't you want to stay?" Shioriko wanted to talk with her son more.
"Sakusasou."
"Now that you've mentioned it. I haven't visited that dorm." Shioriko knew the place where her little sister stayed and felt quite curious.
"It's a chaotic place."
"When the party starts, we'll pick you up there. Is that okay?" Takumi asked.
"Yes." He nodded and didn't bother to talk back to his parents. He also felt that it was better to go back now least he was being scolded by his parents.
This matter ended, and there was no need to prolong this matter anymore. They also didn't intend to stay since staying with his parents made them nervous, even if they didn't do anything. They returned to his apartment, and after he calmed them down with his technique and energy, he returned to Sakurasou alone.
It was at night, but Tokyo was still bustling with life.
Yet it had nothing to do with him since he wanted to go to Sakurasou. He wasn't sure why, but somehow this was what he wanted to do, but it might be because Sakurasou was where he could calm down, especially when he was tired.
By riding his motorcycle, it didn't take a long time for him to arrive. He entered the gate and parked his motorcycle inside.
However, suddenly he heard loud footsteps coming from the entrance of Sakurasou.
"Shishio, help me!"
Before he said anything, he was greeted by breasts.
Ritsu ran and leaped into him while crying before being followed by Chihiro and Mayumi, who also jumped toward him.
While he was happy, he couldn't help but get confused.
"Er... what's wrong?"
