Chapter 31: Kaori and her father

Hello. Whats wrong, Kaori?

She heard her otou-samas voice ringing from the other side of her phone.

I hurriedly put the phone to my ear and answered.

O-Otou-sama, Sorry for calling you so suddenly. [TLN: Otou-sama means father.]

Oh, what a surprise.

Y-You didnt mind taking my call when you were so busy were you?

Hmm? Where on earth would you find a father that doesnt answer his own daughters phone calls.

I tried to speak but nothing came out of my mouth.

Schedules are set in seconds, and even these few seconds of communication right now would have delayed his schedule significantly.

But I didnt think that otou-sama cared about me so much that he was willing to set that aside for me.

So, what can I do for you?

Oh, uh

Oh yeah, the reason for the call I glanced at Hisamura for a moment.

I didnt expect for it to actually go through and hear something so embarrassing by him.

But I felt bad about taking up Otou-samas time, so I gathered up my courage and asked.

O-Otou-samaI-I wanted to know i-if y-you l-love me

Is that what this is about?

I couldnt speak but this time it was for the exact opposite reason as before.

After all, my father doesnt really care about me.

Of course I love you.

Eh?

Did you not hear me? Is the signal bad? Hey! Change the signal in the building!

I heard otou-sama instructing someone nearby.

N-No, I heard you loud and clear.

Really? Thats good.

S-So you r-really l-love me?

Its natural for a father to love his daughter.

!

I couldnt help but feel tears welling up in my eyes at those words.

Ive never felt so loved in my life.

Ive always acted like how I did, so Ive never actually been told how he truly feels about me before.

Is this really my father speaking?

Its not fake, its real This love is real.

O-Otou-sama.

Hmm? Whats the matter, Kaori? Why are you crying?

Eh? Ah? Im sorry.

Hey, did I do something wrong? Or did you get into some kind of trouble? Dont worry, Im on my way to you now.

Eh?

Hey, cancel all plans for the rest of the day. Dinner with the President of the United States? I dont care, schedule it for later. 

W-Wait, please wait! Otou-sama! Im fine!

Are you sure? Youre not holding back, are you?

Yes Im fine.

I never dreamt that my father would care about me so much ever before.

Ive only had the impression that I was being treated with indifference for a long time.

So everything was just a misunderstanding on my part?

Good, speaking of which, what would you like for dinner next Saturday?

Ah

I forgot about it until he mentioned it. No, I was deliberately avoiding it but next saturday was my once in a month dinner with father. 

Every time we had dinner at a fancy restaurant or something, the gramps would always ask It seems that the master wants to ask you about what you want to eat this time.

Every time he asked I would always answer him with anything is fine.

But this is the first time I was asked directly like this.

Well is anything fine?

Ah, anything is fine. Theres nothing I cant prepare for you.

Hes the president of the Tojoin Group, a major corporation, so there really isnt anything in this world that he cant prepare.

However, I dont want anything special from someone else

Just as a daughter, I wanted-

Id like to try Otou-samas home-made food.

A home-made meal by me?

Y-Ye.s

Are you sure? We can go to any fancy restaurant if you want?

No I want to eat Otou-samas homemade food.

When I was a kid I dont recall how young I was.

There was a time when the company was not that big and the house was not very big as well.

I remember eating the food that otou-sama had cooked back then.

I dont even remember what kind of food it was, but I do remember that it was really delicious.

No matter how good a meal I had at a fancy restaurant, I still havent forgotten how it tastes.

I want to eat the same food as I did that time.

But things are much different now than they were then.

Now, as I said earlier, he schedules his appointments in seconds.

With such a busy schedule, there was no way he would have time to cook just for me

Fu, yeah Got it, I havent made anything in a while so I dont know if I can do it right, but Ill make it.

Eh? Is it really okay?

Of course. Well I also have a favour to ask from you, is that alright?

Y-Yes, what is it?

As far as I can remember, otou-sama has rarely asked me to do anything for him.

I wondered what kind of things he would ask me to do

Id like to try some of the food that you make, if thats okay with you.

A-Ah O-Of course, Id definitely want otou-sama to eat it.

Well, thank you. Im looking forward to it.

Y-Yes, me too.

Im sorry, its about time I cut the call, my secretarys looking at me like shes going to kill me.

Ah, O-Of course, sorry for calling you out of the blue.

No, its okay.

There was one last thing I wanted to say.

A-Ah, um. Otou-sama

What is it?

I-I love you too, otou-sama.

Oh Yes, thank you.

Y-Yes, see you at dinner.

Yeah, look forward to it.

With that, I hung up the phone.
