Chapter 28 Qualification of a Main Wife  (1)

 

A woman who regarded Yu-jin as her father. Seo Haru.

 

She was waiting for Yu-jin.

 

In the training room. Alone.

 

“Dad, when will you come tomorrow?”

 

“Hmm… I’ll exercise in the training room and then come, so in the evening?”

 

‘Because Dad is weak, Haru will help him exercise. And then I’ll give him lots of pats.’

 

Her father, who seemed like he might collapse with a light touch, had commendably decided to work out.

 

So, as his daughter, she had to help him.

 

She would give him lots of pats, hold him tight, and praise him for his hard work.

 

Then Dad would be happy and try even harder.

 

Thinking of this made Haru’s lips curl into a smile.

 

However,

 

– Creak.

 

“Arrived… Oh? Haru?”

 

“……!!”

 

‘It’s the super strong aunt!’

 

Despite the arrival of the eagerly awaited Yu-jin,

 

Her focus was on Aika, not her father.

 

With full caution.

 

“Dad. Who is that woman?”

 

‘Where did you bring such a scary aunt from? She’s the scariest person I’ve ever seen.’

 

Though her response was somewhat sharp, it was natural considering her background.

 

Haru had grown up among villains where strength was the law.

 

To her, great power meant great danger.

 

And now, a monster had appeared who might not be stoppable even if she gave her all to protect her father.

 

So, her immediate reaction was to be on guard.

 

…Of course, it was a caution that could be dispelled with just a few words of conversation.

 

Haru trusted her father more than anyone else.

 

If Yu-jin said it was okay, she would undoubtedly believe him and feel at ease.

 

Knowing this, Yu-jin also began to speak slowly.

 

‘Well, it’s the first time she’s seen someone stronger than herself in terms of physical power. It’s natural to be scared.’

 

“Haru, this person is…….”

 

“———Haru, listen!”

 

However, the explanation was interrupted by Alice’s intrusion.

 

Everyone’s attention turned to Alice.

 

She stared with a determined look in her eyes.

 

‘I’ve got to stop that horny guy!!!’

 

Alice is the only one who notices Aika’s sordidness.

 

In her mind, Aika was already a villain from Eyes Wide Shut.

 

At first, she would pretend to be a teacher and act nice, but then she would slowly reveal her true colors.

 

She starts off by touching and sexually harassing Yu-jin in the name of teaching him.

 

If Yu-jin didn’t like it, he would threaten him, saying, “You don’t want me to teach you because I’m the number one in the S class?

 

When Yu-jin finally has enough and says he’s going to call the police?

 

Kidnapping. Imprisonment. Teaching assistant after teaching assistant!

 

Yu-jin, who is relatively slender, would be crushed and ravaged by her.

 

She’ll say something nasty like, “You hate him so much, but you’re so honest with yourself.

 

No way, Yu-jin’s honor will be protected by my comrade Pine Needle Eye!

 

I often had these unnecessary and vividly specific delusions.

 

In just a few days, I had traversed the vast world of “pupil,” and bookmarked more than 200 works that I liked—such was her way of thinking.

 

“Alice? What’s that….”

 

“Pinkie. Why.”

 

“The thing is….”

 

Because of this, she whispered to Haru.

 

She couldn’t stop it herself, but she thought Haru’s recklessness might somehow shake things up.

 

-Whisper whisper.

 

“Dad, got hit.”

 

“Yes! Fortunately, he wasn’t seriously hurt, but he bled…!!”

 

Of course, she didn’t make up things to slander.

 

From the first meeting, she had kicked Yu-jin. Yu-jin had even coughed up blood.

 

She just stated the facts calmly.

 

Thanks to this, Haru’s eyes narrowed.

 

It was all according to Alice’s plan.

 

‘Now, Miss Haru. Let’s get that violent and lecherous person away from Yu-jin….’

 

-Crunch.

 

“You hit my dad?”

 

“…What?”

 

The only problem with Alice’s plan was that her instigation worked too well.

 

Who was Haru?

 

A child who grew up among villains.

 

Even now, having lost most of her memories, she still had a primal fear of violence.

 

To her, violence meant either killing or being killed.

 

In her mind, Aika had suddenly become a bad person who tried to kill her father.

 

It was a disaster caused by her lack of proper education.

 

‘Now that I see it, Dad seems strange too. There’s a faint smell of blood.’

 

-Whoosh….

 

‘Dad is weak, so I have to protect him.’

 

Her energy surged in an instant.

 

It was a precursor to her unique ability, “Awakening,” which temporarily boosted her stats.

 

“H-Haru? What are you….”

 

“Bad.”

 

-BOOM!!!!

 

“Ahhh!!?”

 

Then, an ambush.

 

It happened within just 10 seconds of Yu-jin entering the gym.

 

Aika, in shock, threw herself into the fray.

 

‘Why is she… First, my disciple!’

 

“Stay behind me!”

 

-Thunk.

 

From Aika’s perspective, a woman who suddenly called Yu-jin her father had charged at her.

 

What is this, a mental patient?

 

Well, my disciple is handsome, so it’s not surprising that weird people get attached to him.

 

With this thought, she first got Yu-jin out of the way.

 

Of course, knowing the whole situation, it was pointless.

 

‘I understand, but you should listen to me first. Is Haru serious!?’

 

“Wait!! Listen to me, Haru!!”

 

Desperately, I reached out to stop her.

 

Inside, I was thinking, ‘Stop fighting because of me!’—an utterly unfitting line for a self-proclaimed hypnosis master.

 

It had no effect.

 

-Thunk!!!

 

‘Dad, I’ll save you soon.’

 

To Haru, this was a fight to retrieve her father from a monstrous enemy.

 

She was risking her life, so she had no time to listen to Yu-jin’s voice.

 

“Haru… Tch. Master!! That child…!!!”

 

“I will listen later!!”

 

Aika, too, had no time to listen to Yu-jin.

 

Unlike Haru, it wasn’t for any grand reason.

 

-Swish.

 

‘Damn, why now!! If I move hastily, it’ll come loose!!’

 

She couldn’t listen to her disciple because her chest was bothering her.

 

Earlier, she had hastily undone her bandages for emergency treatment.

 

After that, she had quickly fixed her clothes, but there was no time to rewrap the bandages.

 

In other words, she was currently braless.

 

Considering she was wearing a loose hakama, even a little movement could open her front, making it a very dangerous situation.

 

‘Besides, if I move hastily, they’ll bounce all over…!!’

 

Even the chest, freed from the suppressor, swayed side to side, flaunting its fluidity every time she twisted her body.

 

But fighting in this outfit?

 

With one wrong move, she’d end up exposing everything.

 

She’d rather die than show off her chest, which was already a complex for her.

 

‘Keep the front closed… Ah, what if it becomes obvious that I’m not wearing anything!? If my disciple thinks I’m a slut…!!’

 

– Flustered.

 

‘It seems manageable to fight… No, it’s dangerous. Let’s quickly escape with Dad.’

 

Only about 3 seconds had passed since then.

 

Haru, seeing an opportunity, quickly lunged forward.

 

Ignoring the woman who stood still, only defending without moving a step, she aimed to rescue Yu-jin directly.

 

Her figure brushed past Aika.

 

– Flash.

 

“……!!!!!?”

 

‘No, this is no time to be worrying about this. I have to protect my disciple!!’

 

Aika also immediately changed her expression and gave chase.

 

Without hesitation. To restrain the woman who was running wild like a colt.

 

With the speed of a top-ranked S-class, reaching the limits of human ability.

 

The result,

 

‘Dad, Haru will get you to safety….’

 

– Thud.

 

“Where do you think you’re going!!!”

 

First. Haru was intercepted by Aika just before reaching Yu-jin.

 

– Bounce.

 

“………!!!!!?”

 

‘Aika, why is she… Oh my, she’s not wearing any underwear.’

 

‘And they’re even bigger than mine… Pff.’

 

Second. Aika’s complex, publicly exposed to the three women.

 

Finally.

 

– Clench.

 

“Stop it right now!!!!”

 

‘What the hell is this mess!?’

 

As soon as skin was exposed, Yu-jin invoked the “pants rule” with a blink of an eye. He screamed in anguish.

 

A chaotic scene unfolded, just like his inner monologue described.

 

* * *

 

The battle between Haru and her master ended in almost 10 seconds.

 

Looking at the match-up, it could have been a historic battle among the awakened ones, but the result was,

 

– Cautiously.

 

“Um, did you perhaps see… earlier…?”

 

“No? Pfft.”

 

“…….”

 

The master. Gloriously defeated.

 

– Droop.

 

“Dad….”

 

“Raise your hands higher. I’ve never had a bad daughter who hits people out of nowhere.”

 

“Haru thought Dad was in danger….”

 

“Then you should have asked Dad first.”

 

‘I really feel like I’m raising a child.’

 

Haru was being scolded harshly by me.

 

…This really was a fight with no winners.

 

There was no need to fight in the first place.

 

Even the Master couldn’t be consoled by me.

 

I knew well why she was so embarrassed, but I couldn’t even acknowledge it.

 

So, I just scolded Haru a lot.

 

“That person, you know? She’s the number one S-class. She’s even more amazing than Grandma.”

 

“Yeah. So, she’s dangerous….”

 

“She’s not dangerous at all. In fact, she’s the one who decided to teach Dad.”

 

“Oh. Teach Dad?”

 

“Yeah. So from now on, treat her with respect. Got it?”

 

“Got it. Haru will be a polite child.”

 

…I felt bad for scolding her.

 

She was really a good kid, just not properly educated yet.

 

I decided to let it go.

 

“If you want to hit someone in the future, you must ask Dad first. If you hit someone else recklessly, I’ll spank your bottom.”

 

“It doesn’t hurt even if Dad hits me.”

 

“…I’ll make Grandma do it.”

 

“I don’t want that. I’ll listen to Dad.”

 

“Good. Now put your hands down and apologize to the Master.”

 

-Clap.

 

Her hands went down immediately.

 

Haru then sat down comfortably, as if she could finally relax.

 

She seemed exhausted from using her ability.

 

“Whew. Hey, Dad’s Master.”

 

‘The more I see her, the more she seems like my real daughter and so cute. Why didn’t I have a child before returning?’

 

Despite that, she immediately attempted to speak to the Master.

 

She seemed to be trying to apologize as I had said, which made me smile.

 

“Uh, uh? No, what do you mean by Dad?”

 

“It’s complicated to explain, but she’s my foster daughter.”

 

“Foster daughter…?”

 

The Master was surprised, but I decided to explain it later.

 

I waited with a smile for Haru to speak.

 

I expected a cute and honest apology that would naturally bring a fatherly smile to my face.

 

“Sorry for hitting you. I thought you were a bad person because you hit Dad.”

 

“Don’t worry about it. I don’t know the details, but if you’re my disciple’s foster daughter, you’re not a stranger to me. Besides, I did something wrong too….”

 

“As an apology, take Dad. You be his mom.”

 

“Dad’s Master, if you become Dad’s mom, the baby in your tummy will laugh.”

 

“”””……!!!!!?””””

 

I was handed over.
