"Rie!" Umezaki Yus.h.i.+ro finds the bed empty . His daughter left the house again . "Did she go to the gaming arcade again?"

There is no telling when the seal on the pandora box of memories is broken . Umezaki Yus.h.i.+ro prays every day that it's never broken to let his daughter live happily .

"Professor, you should cut some slack . She gets bored staying at home all day . " Yuhara Kozue hides his face behind the book . "She didn't tell me where she went . "

Umezaki Yus.h.i.+ro sits down on the bed with tiredness . It's been two years since he brought her to H island . After two months of the fire, she woke up with no memories . She didn't even know her name . Umezaki Yus.h.i.+ro took that opportunity to give her a new life .

However, he didn't know that she would start running the moment she learns to walk again .

"I didn't know raising a daughter is this difficult . "

"Technically, she is an adult . You spoil her too much . "

"She's my daughter . I will spoil her as much as I want . " Umezaki Yus.h.i.+ro glares at his student . "Did you start writing your thesis?"

Kozue stares at the ceiling . "My gynophobia is not cured . So, I don't think that I am ready to graduate . . . So . . . "

"You just want to freeload at my home, Yuhara . " Umezaki Yus.h.i.+ro cracks his knuckles . "Don't lie to me . I saw you sitting beside my daughter and laughing at her jokes . If you ever think of dating my precious daughter, I will make you graduate faster . "

It's only been 3 years . He won't give away his daughter to another man so soon .

Yuhara must be the only graduate student in the world who is scared of graduating faster . "Professor, I don't even see her as a woman . That is the only reason why I can sit closer to her without any discomfort . When it's the other women, it comes back . I swear . If I ever date, I will not date anyone like her . "

Umezaki Yus.h.i.+ro is irked . "Why you won't date anyone like her, brat? What's wrong with her? She's the most perfect girl in the world . "

"But, Professor, you just told me that you would throw me out if I date her . " Yuhara is confused . "Then, can I see her as a woman or not?"

Umezaki Yus.h.i.+ro picks up his sandal . "Come here . I will tell you whether you can see her as a woman or not . You dare to lie about your gynophobia to me . You should be writing your thesis instead of thinking of my only daughter as a woman . "

The professor chases his student around the house with a sandal in his hand .

"The winner is . . . " The announcer stares at the name . "U_413 . "

Dressed in an orange jacket with cat ears and funny gla.s.ses, U_413 comes to the stage proudly and takes the prize . The announcer looks at the girl . "How old are you?"

"150 . " She waves her hand . "Maybe, I am 99 . What does that get to do with you? There is no age limit . "

"I am sorry . " The announcer apologizes . That's actually the case . There is no upper age limit currently in esports . It's a good opportunity to recruit this hidden gem . The purpose of the tournament was to find hidden gems from different parts of the country .

"Are you interested in -"

The girl walks away without giving any fudge . She puts the prize in her bag and drives her scooter away from the tournament .

The announcer is not affected by her arrogant behavior . She has all the rights to be arrogant .

"Get information about U_413 . We will try to recruit her as a member of Team A . "

I stop Yuhara's scooter in front of the food stall . "Aunty, do you have fish sticks?"

"Rie chan, your father was here a while ago . " She packs 15 fish sticks and gives it to me . "He is furious . Go home quickly . "

"Thank you, Aunty . " I chuckle and go to my house . My father is probably not at home . I park the scooter and quietly make my way into the house .

"Umezaki san, you are back . " Yuhara is sitting on his knees and balancing three thick books on his head . "I am getting punished because of you . "

I laugh . "What will happen if the books fall?"

"He will make me write my thesis . " Yuhara looks like he will cry . "Why did you run to play again? We have all the games in the house . "

Yuhara stands up . His knees hurt . "Umezaki san, don't do that again . Professor Umezaki is extremely worried about you . You still need to take your medicine . "

It's been two years since I was saved from the fire . In that fire, I also lost my memories . I woke up after two months and found my father beside me . He stayed beside me the whole time . He helped me stand up on my feet slowly . Sometimes, I wonder what I left behind in that fire . But, my father told me that past held no value . Only the present matters to build the future that I want .

However, he is always worried about me . I am sure that I am physically fine, but he would make me eat vitamins or some health tonics .

"Take this . " I give the fish stick to Yuhara . I take one and bite into it . "Call my father and tell him that I am at home . "

Yuhara sighs . "Let eat these fish stick peacefully . "

"Leave some for him . He loves them . "

Yuhara sets aside 6 of them . My father is a big eater . "I am going to die because of you and professor . "

"You should write your thesis and leave . " I stare at him . "I think that I would miss your scooter more than you . "

Yuhara frowns . "Umezaki san, is that the only value I have in your life? How many times have I helped you leave the house to play games at the arcade?"

I start counting it in my head . It couldn't be more than . . .

"YUHARA!" My father steps inside the house . "So, it was you who was behind it . Instead of writing the thesis, you are -"

I run to him and shove a fish stick in his mouth . He blinks at me with surprise . I give him a big hug .

"Father, do you like it?"

The anger in his eyes vanishes instantly . "I will not forget that you stayed out at night again . "

"If I tell you that I brought a prize, will you be happy?" I grin at him . "I defeated all of them and won 10k dollar prize . Aren't we going to celebrate my victory?"

He looks at me seriously . "It's only been two years . You should take the stress . Why do you insist on playing for money? I have been invited to teach at JHKP university . How about enrolling in the same university? If you don't like it, I will send you to another college . "

"Father, I don't like studying . I am already 28 . " I make a face . "I will be too old in the cla.s.s . "

"That's not true . " Yuhara says to me, "There are a lot of old students . I heard that there was once an 85 years old student who came to finish his bachelor degree . You look young, Umezaki san . If you want to enroll, I will also enroll in a course . Then, we will be a cla.s.smate . "

"Yuhara, you can't even finish your thesis and you want to become her cla.s.smate . " My father picks up his sandal . "You lazy student of mine!"

Ah! They are at it again .

"Professor, don't misunderstand . I didn't mean it that way . I only wanted to make her feel at ease . "

"You big liar! Come back here . "
