After Nakiri Thistle and his wife came to Totsuki Academy, they did not go to Nakiri Erina's restaurant immediately. Instead, they came to Nakiri's house in Totsuki Academy to meet their father, Nakiri Senzaemon.
On the one hand, when they come to Totsuki Academy, it would be a bit disrespectful not to meet with Nakiri Senzaemon first. On the other hand, they also know that Nakiri Erina has a very bad impression of them. If they come rashly, they may be rejected. , so I wanted to ask Nakiri Senzaemon to mediate for them.
Nakiri Senzaemon, who had retired from the position of Commander-in-Chief Totsuki and just wanted to be a leisurely retired old man, frowned slightly and looked helplessly at his daughter and son-in-law who was kneeling in front of him.
"Hey...if I had known this, why did I do it in the first place..."
Nakiri Senzaemon sighed while stroking his beard.
If these rotten parents had been nicer to Nakiri Erina, why would they need to be like this?
Nakiri Thistle glanced at Nakiri Shinagi, and she immediately understood: "Father, there is no point in talking about this now. Please help us and let us get Erina's understanding. I also had a reason for abandoning her back then. The reason!"
He revealed his abandonment of Erina in just one sentence, which made Nakiri Senzaemon frown even deeper.
It seems that Nakiri Shinagi even now feels that her fault was only for leaving Nakiri Erina, but she did not realize how much her attitude towards Nakiri Erina on "The Blue" caused to Nakiri Erina. s damage.
And Nakiri Thistle also followed at this time: "Yes, Father, regarding the school affairs before, I was just worried that Erina was young and didn't know how to manage the school. I was afraid that Erina would lose Totsuki's reputation!"
There's nothing wrong with you and your wife co-authoring it, right? Erina is really unlucky to have parents like you!
For this couple who didn't want to admit that they were wrong at all, Nakiri Senzaemon felt angry, but it quickly turned into a sigh.
The son-in-law was chosen by himself for his daughter, and he had accustomed her to her temperament. If you really want to say it, he is the real source of all evil. What is the use of blaming this couple? If you really want to blame it, you should blame yourself!
"That's all, I will go and talk to Erina. As for whether Erina will forgive you, it depends on Erina herself..."
Nakiri Senzaemon sighed.
As an old man, and an old man with nothing to do after retirement, nothing is more important than family reunion. He knows that he has wronged Erina Nakiri by doing this, but he really can't refuse the temptation of sharing a family. .
Everything will be fine. I will keep an eye on them and prevent them from doing anything to hurt Erina. Moreover, Erina longs for her parents in her heart. I am doing this for Erina's own good...
Nakiri Senzaemon comforted himself in this way.
Seeing Nakiri Senzaemon relenting, Nakiri Hisagi and his wife were overjoyed. They bowed deeply to Nakiri Senzaemon and said, "Thank you, Father, for your support!"
Nakiri Senzaemon sighed again, silently saying in his heart, I just hope my decision this time is right………………
After the business was suspended, only she and Nito Hisako were left in Nakiri Erina's restaurant, as well as three other guests: Yan Kai, Kasumigaoka Shiu, and Busushima Saeko.
After talking to Nakiri Erina to divert her attention, Nakiri Erina's mood became much more stable and she would smile. However, it could still be seen from her trembling fingertips that her heart was not peaceful. , just pretending to be calm so as not to worry others.
Even though she is now the commander-in-chief of Totsuki Academy, Nakiri Erina is still essentially a sixteen-year-old girl, and she is also a girl who has been separated from her parents since she was a child. The existence of her parents is very important to Nakiri Erina. It's bound to be complicated.
On the one hand, she is brooding over the harm caused to her by the Nakiri Hisoka couple. On the other hand, her heart is still yearning for the lost family affection, which makes her try to forget the Nakiri Kitsubo couple in normal times. , because she didn't know how she would feel when facing them.
Is he angrily scolding them for their indifference to him over the years, and then expelling them?
Or should you let go of your past unhappiness, then drop your reserve and fall into their arms?
She can make decisions on multi-billion-dollar group mergers and acquisitions without even frowning, but she doesn't know how to face her parents. No one has taught her this!
Seeing Nakiri Erina pretending to be fine, her "half-sister" Kasumigaoka Shiu felt a little distressed.
Although she quarreled with her mother and was called a "family scandal" by her mother, this was a normal quarrel between family members. Who would really take it seriously? But Nakiri Erina is different. There is really a huge gap between her and her parents.
"Shiyu, what do you mean by looking at me like this? Are you pitying me?"
Nakiri Erina noticed Kasumigaoka Shiu's eyes and suddenly said dissatisfied.
As a textbook tsundere with blond hair, Erina Nakiri is extremely sensitive inside. She hates others looking at her with pity.
"No, no, you saw it wrong!"
Kasumigaoka Shiha quickly turned her head away from looking at Nakiri Erina.
Nakiri Erina narrowed her eyes and was about to challenge Kasumigaoka Shiu when an old and rich voice stopped her.
"Erina, what's going on? Why did the business suddenly close? Are you feeling unwell?"
Nakiri Senzaemon entered the restaurant.
Although there is a "Closed" sign hanging at the door of the restaurant, if this sign can stop others, how can it stop Nakiri Senzaemon?
Seeing that Nakiri Senzaemon was coming, Nakiri Erina had no time to care about Kasumigaoka Shiha. She showed a heartfelt smile, stood up and faced Nakiri Senzaemon: "Grandpa!"
As the closest relative who has accompanied her since childhood, Nakiri Senzaemon has a unique status for Nakiri Erina and is also the person she trusts the most.
Seeing his granddaughter's innocent smile, Nakiri Senzaemon didn't smile as happily as before. At this time, he was actually a little embarrassed to face Nakiri Erina.
With his eyes flickering, Nakiri Senzaemon noticed Yan Kai and the others. He was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "I asked you why you suddenly suspended business. It turns out you were hosting Yan Sang!"
"No, why should I close the business because of that annoying guy!"
Nakiri Erina curled her lips and said.
"What's that for?"
Nakiri Senzaemon said doubtfully.
"Yes..." Nakiri Erina's mood was a little complicated, and it was difficult to say the words.
"What is it?"
Nakiri Senzaemon asked.
"Yes...someone saw my father and mother coming to the school..."
Nakiri Erina lowered her voice.
Nakiri Senzaemon was shocked, silent for a moment, and then pretended to be relaxed: "You mean Shinagi and Thistle, I know this, they two came to visit me just now."
"Have they come to visit grandpa?"
Nakiri Erina suddenly realized something. She had been leaning closely beside Nakiri Senzaemon and she subconsciously distanced herself from Nakiri Senzaemon.
"Yes, I am their father after all. They should visit me when they come to school, right?"
Nakiri Senzaemon did not notice this change in Nakiri Erina, but deliberately described the two people's visit to him as a normal thing.
"Oh..." Nakiri Erina responded lightly, and then asked, "Then did they say what they came to school for?"
"Of course..." Nakiri Senzaemon wanted to say that they were here to participate in the "Moon Festival", but facing his most precious granddaughter, Nakiri Senzaemon really couldn't bear to lie to her, so he changed his words. , "They came to visit you. Shinagi's health has improved a lot and she can eat normally. They think it's time to start living with you again..."
"I do not need!"
Nakiri Erina took a few steps back and looked at the most familiar and trusted old man in front of her like a stranger.
Heming
Ming knows best how that couple hurt him, so why does he want to be that couple's lobbyist now?
"Erina..."
Nakiri Senzaemon felt that his mouth was dry for a while, and the words he had been brewing came to his lips, but he couldn't say them out.
They brought it all upon themselves!
There is no one between Nakiri Erina and Nakiri Managi. Nakiri Managi has had countless opportunities to make up for the relationship between herself and Nakiri Erina, even if she is not in good health and does not want Nakiri Erina Seeing her weak appearance, she could also contact Nakiri Erina by phone or letter, say a few words or write a few lines. This would not waste much of her effort, but even so, she would be reluctant to use this energy on On his own daughter.
The same goes for Nakiri Thistle. Thinking about the education he gave to Nakiri Erina when he was a child, was he educating his own children? No, that’s training the machine! If not, Nakiri Senzaemon would not have expelled Nakiri Thistle from the Nakiri family.
This bastard couple gave Nakiri Erina a lonely childhood, and the loneliness of losing her parents. Even if Nakiri Senzaemon found Nito Hisako to be Nakiri Erina's companion, it doesn't mean that she can't live without it. , not to mention how much damage the Nakiri Erina and his wife caused to Nakiri Erina later, which all triggered Nakiri Erina's collapse. If it weren't for the help of a group of friends around Nakiri Erina, the current Nakiri Erina might be An existence like an empty shell.
And all this, Nakiri Senzaemon, who has been paying attention to the growth of Nakiri Erina, knows best...
"Well, Erina, no matter what happens to Shinagi and Thistle, they are still your parents. They have repented for their previous actions. The choice is up to you whether you want to forgive them or not..."
"You are in a bad mood now. Grandpa will not disturb you. Goodbye, Erina..."
Nakiri Senzaemon Wuyan continued to stay, and left after saying these two sentences. As for these words, they can impress Nakiri Erina from time to time...
Nakiri Senzaemon has tried his best, the result depends on God's will!
After Nakiri Senzaemon left, Nakiri Erina sat back in her seat. The solemn air made people feel extremely depressed. Suddenly, Nakiri Erina spoke.
"Shiyu, Saeko, do you think I should forgive my parents?"
Nakiri Erina asked while lying on the table, her originally domineering eyes becoming dim as if covered with a layer of frosted glass.
Kasumigaoka Shiu and Busujima Saeko looked at me and I looked at you, and they didn’t know how to answer Nakiri Erina.
Outsiders cannot get involved in this kind of thing.
Yes, they can persuade Erina Nakiri to ignore her parents, and they can also say all kinds of bad things about them to strengthen Erina Nakiri's will, but blood is thicker than water, and Nakiri Thistle and Nakiri Mana are ultimately Nakiri. Erina's biological parents, Nakiri Erina hates them now, but what about in the future?
Who knows how Nakiri Erina will feel a few years later. If she feels that family ties are the most important thing again and chooses to forgive her parents, then the two of them who were gossiping at the time will become bad people. Already?
However, Nakiri Erina, who was very angry when trying to persuade Nakiri Erina to forgive her parents, would not listen to her.
Didn’t you see that even Nakiri Erina’s dearest grandfather was treated coldly by Nakiri Erina as soon as he revealed this in a subtle way? Parents are a restricted area for Nakiri Erina now. No one can touch them, and whoever touches them will die!
So Kasumigaoka Shiu and Busujima Saeko stopped talking because they felt that whatever they said was wrong and they would be blamed.
"You have to ask yourself this."
Yan Kai said calmly at this time, he poured himself a glass of boiling water, took a sip and said: "It is difficult for an upright official to deal with household affairs. We are just a group of bystanders. We don't know what kind of feelings you have for your parents, nor do we know How deeply did she and others hurt you? When you ask us this question, are you trying to shift the blame?"
"Shit the blame?"
"Yes, you are now throwing the responsibility of choice to others, so that if you make the wrong choice, it can be said that it is everyone's responsibility."
Yan Kai said calmly.
The best way for Japan to evade responsibility is not to make decisions and leave all the decision-making power to others. Then he will naturally have no responsibility.
"Nonsense, I didn't do that!"
Nakiri Erina immediately became angry.
"Then, you make your own choice, but remember, the path you choose must be completed on your knees. Don't regret it then!"
Yan Kai said with a smile.
"Who wants to regret it! If I forgive them so easily now, then I will regret it!"
Provoked by Yan Kai, Nakiri Erina subconsciously expressed her inner thoughts.
Yes, she didn't want to forgive them so simply!
"But isn't it too cruel to never forgive them?"
Nakiri Erina struggled and said that she didn't completely hate her parents in her heart, otherwise she wouldn't have given the opportunity to treat "God's Tongue" to Nakiri Shinagi.
"What did I just say?" Kan Shula
Yan Kai asked rhetorically.
"You said you would choose the path, and you have to walk it even on your knees."
Nakiri Erina replied.
"Yes, this applies not only to you, but also to your parents." Yan Kai said calmly, "Since they made that choice at that time, they should also bear the corresponding price. Now I am crying and begging you to forgive me. It will only make me look down on them.”
