Event 79: Shimizu Family (2)

"Is he your boyfriend Kiyoko?" Lord Shimizu asked, staring at Haruta as if he were his greatest enemy, but Kiyoko only nodded.

Kiyoko's parents exchanged glances with each other then gave a glance at Shika who nodded, they all moved quickly and sat down on one side of the table, while on the other side was Haruta and Kiyoko.

"What's your young name?" Mrs. Shimizu asked in a light tone as she looked at Haruta studying him slowly.

"I am Ichijo Haruta, nice to meet you" Haruta said, lowering her head slightly in respect to Kiyoko's parents.

"Ichijo .... where did I hear that name before?" Mr. Shimizu asked with his hand on his chin while trying to remember backwards, Mr. Shimizu nudged her husband so that he will rejoin the conversation.

"Oh, it's true ... sorry" said Mr. Shimizu quickly recovering his composure to look at the couple in front of him again "what is your age Haruta?"

"16 years" Haruta's response was short and simple without hesitation at any time.

Kiyoko's parents' mouth was open as was Shika's who gave Kiyoko a fleeting glance.

Kiyoko on the other hand was smiling slightly with her proud puffed chest "Y-You're ... You are two years younger than Kiyoko!" Shika exclaimed getting up from her place, her face represented a bit of envy towards her sister.

'I would have been surprised by her reaction before but now that I know the truth of this world I understand everything perfectly, with a rate of women of 80% it is very rare to be able to get a partner who is of the opposite sex and therefore she must be single, because of her appearance is five or seven years older than Kiyoko 'Haruta said in his mind studying all the surroundings.

"Are you still studying Haruta?" Mrs. Shimizu asked, forcing her eldest daughter to return to her place at the table.

"Oh yeah. Kiyoko and I belong to the same school only I'm a freshman," Haruta said casually without adding much information about him.

"A freshman ....." Lord Shimizu muttered to himself, beginning to doubt the situation, "do you have anything you want to do in the future Haruta?"

'Anything you want to do? ... Well, I had not thought about that, I had never really thought about my future as a person, to tell the truth I always tried to live day by day and constantly improve with the help of system solving one problem at a time. This is the first time I've been asked about my future, what should I say? ' Mentally Haruta was in incredible doubt since never since his reincarnation had he come to think of something of that style.

Soon the expression on Haruta's face changed revealing a confident smile that made Kiyoko happy, this was the part she loved most about Haruta .... she loved to see Haruta who had self-confidence leaving everyone at his mercy like he's the center of the world

'Every time I'm in the kitchen I feel like it's more than my territory, I feel like it's my home. During my first life I do not remember cooking anything other than noodles and tomato sauce, but as soon as I came into this world I took a knife and I could feel my body moving on its own, it was something different from the system it is as if I had Long known ... yes, it was the answer he was always looking for ... 'Haruta said in his mind as he opened his mouth to answer Lord Shimizu's question.

"I will be the owner of a five-star restaurant" said Haruta remembering the dream that the original Haruta had, remembering all his moments in the kitchen, remembering how thanks to the kitchen he knows the two beauties who are now his girlfriends.

"You know your cooking?" Shika asked surprised to hear Haruta's goal.

"Haruta was a Tootsuki student named as the best cook of the decade and named Zao Shen within the cook circle and now works as a part-time chef," said Kiyoko answering her sister's question.

Haruta stopped for a moment and sighed upon hearing Kiyoko's words, for the black-haired man everything related to Tootsuki was not something he had forged himself, a part of his brain struggled to keep all the achievements of the original Haruta for himself but not He could get rid of them as if they were nothing since it is also something that is not easy to achieve, rejecting those titles would be like trampling all the efforts of the original Haruta something that he was not willing to do.

"So he has a part time job while you keep studying and he also has Kiyoko as your girlfriend, can you continue with all this in the future?" Mr. Shimizu asked worried knowing the burden that all this could be on the young man's back in front of him.

"I can go on with this and much more," said Haruta confidently, none of Haruta's statements were empty since everything was backed by his actions of two lives and by the system that is now his main support.

"Do your parents know about this situation?" Mrs. Shimizu asked with some concern for the future of the couple, and it was normal for families on both sides to get to know each other when their children officially started dating.

"About that ..." Kiyoko tried to stop the question since she was fully updated to the Haruta story by Asuna's words.

"What is it Kiyoko? Do they not agree with their relationship or do they still not know anything?" Mr. Shimizu began to question the couple, drawing his own conclusions.

"But if Haruta's parents don't know about the situation, where were they living?" Shika asked with doubts since it was normal for Kiyoko to leave the house with her belongings to stay with Haruta.
