15. Miyamoto Kiriko

"Rei, didn't you say your boyfriend was coming today? I even took the day off to wait at home!"

This was a beautiful woman with orange hair, bearing a striking resemblance to Rei. Dressed in a white traffic police uniform, she exuded a mature feminine charm.

"Mom, it's not the agreed time yet, don't be so impatient!"

Although she was extremely shy, Rei was filled with excitement and anticipation—Sora was coming to her house as her boyfriend!

"Hmph! You started dating a boy in middle school and even stopped going to school. Do you really think being a genius makes you special?"

"No matter who your boyfriend is, if he doesn't meet my standards, you're not allowed to see him again!"

This was the voice of a very strict man, also in a police uniform, with a square face, sitting upright, his tone carrying a hint of criticism and displeasure.

"Dad… Sora is really outstanding! Well, you'll see for yourself when you meet him."

A flash of helplessness crossed her eyes, but Rei didn't feel angry or wronged. She naturally understood her father, Miyamoto Tadashi's personality. He was always strict on the surface but deeply cared for her.

"Rei, don't mind your dad, that grumpy old man!"

"Tehehe, since Rei speaks so highly of him, I'm even more interested in meeting your little boyfriend!"

Watching her mother, who was the complete opposite of her father and full of curiosity, Rei couldn't help but feel a bit speechless.

"Ding dong…"

"That must be Sora, I'll get the door!"

Just then, the doorbell rang, and with a look of joy, Rei hopped out to answer it.

"Yo, Rei!"

The door opened, revealing a handsome black-haired, black-eyed man—Sora, who had finally found the place after searching for a while.

"You're here, Sora!"

Rei immediately threw herself into his arms, her face filled with boundless joy.

A faint smile also appeared on his face as Sora gently stroked the girl's hair. It was his first time visiting Miyamoto Rei's home, and he couldn't help but feel a bit curious.

The house wasn't very large, certainly far from his own grand villa, but by the standards of an ordinary family, it was quite nice. From the doorway, he could see various pieces of furniture neatly arranged, and the house was decorated warmly, clearly indicating the presence of a good homemaker.

"Hehe, what a handsome young man, are you Rei's boyfriend? Come on, call me 'Mom'!"

Alright, Sora's mouth twitched, and he began to wonder if he had just hallucinated.

The voice was pleasant, and based on Sora's extensive experience, the person was undoubtedly a stunning beauty, and a mature one at that.

However, asking someone to call her 'Mom' upon first meeting—wasn't that a bit too bold?!

Looking towards the source of the voice, a beautiful figure came into Sora's view, and even Sora, who had seen countless beauties, couldn't help but be impressed.

Smooth, flowing orange hair, a mature and stunningly beautiful face, a tall and curvaceous figure wrapped in a white uniform, exuding a strong, mature, and alluring aura.

This wasn't just a top-tier beauty; she was absolutely beyond top-tier!

From her resemblance to Miyamoto Rei, Sora could confirm her identity—who else could it be but Miyamoto Rei's mother, Miyamoto Kiriko?!

It was said that in her younger days, she was a skilled street racer, which explained her boldness.

Sora cursed himself for being so foolish before. Miyamoto Rei, as one of the main characters and a bearer of fate in this world, naturally had a mother who couldn't be anything less than extraordinary! If it weren't for this chance encounter, such a stunning beauty might have ended up as food for the zombies when this world collapsed—what a tragedy that would have been!

Feeling relieved, Sora also made up his mind, and another wicked plan began to form in his heart.

"Ha… haha… Sora, don't mind her, this is my mom, she's just like that."

Blushing slightly, Miyamoto Rei felt a bit embarrassed by her mother's carefree attitude.

"Haha, of course not!"

Sora laughed; he wasn't a fool and naturally wouldn't mind. He continued:

"Hello, I'm Rei's boyfriend, Sora. Although I'd like to call you 'Auntie' or 'Mom,' it doesn't seem fitting for someone as young and beautiful as you. I'll call you 'Sister' instead!"

Being shameless was one of the essential skills for pursuing a wife, and Sora had taken this trait to the extreme. Calling his mother-in-law 'Sister'—he didn't hesitate at all!

Miyamoto Rei, on the other hand, was somewhat used to it, having long known how mischievous Sora could be. Miyamoto Kiriko, however, looked surprised, clearly not expecting such a response.

"Hahaha, this is too funny! Rei, your little boyfriend is just too amusing!"

The next moment, Miyamoto Rei's mother, this mature and stunning beauty in a uniform, finally regained her composure and burst into laughter, completely unfazed by the situation.

Feeling a bit irritated, Sora thought to himself—not only was she incredibly beautiful, but she also had the whole uniform allure going on, and now she was making such provocative gestures. Sister, aren't you just trying to mess with me?!

If it were someone like Yumeri tempting him, Sora would have pounced already, but since it was his mother-in-law, he didn't dare—at least not yet.

He thought to himself, 'Sister, you keep stoking the fire, and I'll make sure to get it all back from your precious daughter later!'

"What a little rascal! But I like it!"

Straightening up, Kiriko flicked Sora's forehead with her finger, still smiling.

However, it was clear that her first impression of Sora was quite positive. Compared to her perpetually stoic husband, Kiriko, who was somewhat carefree by nature, preferred Sora's sweet-talking and bold personality.

"Come on, let's go inside! Since you've won me over, I'll let you off the hook if I catch you street racing in the future!"

Without a care, Kiriko wrapped her arm around Sora's shoulder and pulled him into the house, acting like a close buddy.

Sora's mouth twitched as he wondered how such a bold sister like her ended up in a completely opposite profession like being a traffic cop. Did her husband pull some strings for her?

Miyamoto Rei was also at a loss for words, her face red with embarrassment, and she could only close the door and follow behind.

"I'll go make some tea!"

Seeing her father still sitting stiffly, Miyamoto Rei stuck out her tongue at Sora and quickly ran into the kitchen, clearly also feeling a bit overwhelmed by her strict father.

In front of her serious husband, Miyamoto Kiriko also toned down her behavior and stopped engaging with Sora.

Looking at the stern man before him, Sora nodded slightly. As he had gathered from the information, this man was likely Miyamoto Rei's father, Miyamoto Tadashi, a straight-laced police officer who couldn't tolerate even a grain of sand.

"Sit down!"

Looking at Sora, Tadashi spoke without changing his expression.

Glancing at Kiriko beside him, Sora shrugged. Facing such a strict father-in-law, he thought it best to behave himself.

"Name, age, where you live, family members, occupation, when did you start seeing Rei, how did it happen, and where are you now in the relationship? Be honest and tell me everything."

Alright, hearing Tadashi's interrogation-style questioning, Sora broke into a cold sweat, almost jumping up and shouting—

Uncle, are you checking my household registration?!!!

"Hahaha…"

Unable to hold back any longer, Kiriko covered her lips and stomach and also ran into the kitchen, where soon the laughter of Miyamoto Rei and her mother could be heard.

"Name: Sora, Age: 18, Residence: ×××, Occupation: ×××, …"

Helplessly, Sora had to engage in this bizarre conversation with his equally extraordinary father-in-law, though apart from his name, everything else was made up.

As expected of a police officer and detective, although the method was a bit strange, Tadashi's questions were thorough. If it weren't for Sora's super-genius mind and prior preparation, he might have been caught in a lie!

Although he finally managed to satisfy Tadashi, it left Sora thoroughly exhausted.

Having asked all he wanted, Tadashi didn't say anything more to Sora but instead sat in deep thought, likely analyzing Sora's personal information.

Seeing that this was finally over, Miyamoto Rei and Kiriko came out, their faces a bit stiff, probably from laughing too much.

The atmosphere became much more relaxed afterward, with most of the conversation being between Sora and Kiriko. The two hit it off immediately, chatting away as if they had known each other for years.

From the conversation, Sora also learned more about Miyamoto Rei's family, or rather, more about Kiriko, this bold sister.

Well, although it was a bit unfair to his father-in-law, Sora couldn't let such a unique beauty end up as zombie food in the future. So, he had firmly decided to add her to his harem.

As a ruler of his domain, societal moral constraints meant nothing to him! So he had no psychological burden about it.

Of course, this wasn't urgent; at least for now, Sora wouldn't act on it, as he had already devised a perfect plan.

…

"Although it's not ideal, it's barely acceptable. If you ever dare to wrong Rei, I will personally judge you as a police officer!"

As they were leaving, Tadashi extended his large right hand and spoke to Sora with a serious expression.

"Don't worry, Uncle, I definitely won't!"

Sora also extended his hand and shook Tadashi's, responding with a smile.

Although Miyamoto Tadashi seemed like a decent person, Sora didn't hesitate and secretly infused a stream of internal energy into Miyamoto's body.

This internal energy wouldn't harm Miyamoto's body, but it would ensure that he would never be able to perform in certain areas again. Since Sora had already decided to take Kiriko as his own, he naturally wouldn't allow any other man to touch her in the future.

However, looking at his rigid father-in-law, Sora doubted that Miyamoto would care much about that aspect of life anyway.

"Hehehe, little one, come visit your sister's house often in the future!" Kiriko patted Sora's shoulder. Although their time together was short, she genuinely liked this young man.

Of course, it wasn't romantic affection—at least not yet. It was more like the fondness a mother-in-law might have for her son-in-law.

Meanwhile, Miyamoto Rei blushed and lowered her head. Though she said nothing, she was overjoyed that Sora had gained her parents' approval.

After bidding farewell to the three, Sora didn't linger and left Rei's home.

"Hahaha, dear, didn't you always think that Komuro Takashi was a good match? Why have you now accepted Sora?" Kiriko teased as they walked back inside.

"Hmph! That kid is full of lies. Did he really think I wouldn't notice?" Miyamoto Tadashi snorted, clearly displeased.

Hearing her father's words, Rei's face turned pale, while Kiriko remained calm, her eyes flashing with curiosity as she asked, "Oh? Then why did you agree to his relationship with Rei?"

Glancing at his daughter, Miyamoto sighed helplessly, "Rei can't live without him anymore…"

"And although, personally, that kid doesn't meet my standards, from a father's perspective, he's someone I can entrust my daughter's life to. In that regard, Komuro Takashi falls far short…"
