“Wow… that’s amazing.”

I was involuntarily admiring the variety of food laid out on the table.

In general, British cuisine has a strong image that it is tasteless.

But that’s not synonymous with saying that British can’t cook.

In fact, there are quite a few British chefs among the world-class chefs.

And from my point of view, Rika’s mother clearly belonged to the latter.

“Fufu, it’s been a while since I’ve tried using my strength because a customer is coming.”

Saying that, Rika’s mother showed off her voluptuous breasts with a proud expression.

Judging from what he was doing, it was nothing compared to Rika.

Will this happen when Rika gets a little older and becomes an adult?

As soon as we started eating, Kishimoto-sensei hadn’t left the room yet, so Rika’s mother approached the study room in the living room, telling her to wait a moment.

“Honey! Come out quickly! I’m going to get cold after this!”

Then, when he opened the tightly closed door and came out, it was a man with a sad impression, who looked to be in his mid-40s.

On the surface, it looked fragile, but I knew very well who this person was.

It’s because I’ve seen it a few times while surfing the Internet, taken during an interview with a magazine.

Manga artist, Kishimoto Musashi.

His real name is Sojiro Kishimoto.

Commonly known as, omnipotence.

Having been active for over 20 years, he was one of the masters called a legend in the boy cartoon industry.

When Kishimoto-sensei found me, he had a surprised expression on his face.

“Are you a meteor soldier? From what I’ve heard, you look just like a boy cartoon character from the 80s.”

“It’s an honor to meet you. Kishimoto-sensei.”

I was so happy to have met a cartoonist teacher whom I respected more than my friend’s father, so I used the title of honorific title without realizing it.

“Haha, it’s hard to stand up and talk, so sit down. Since you’re coming home this time, the people you know paid a lot of attention.”

“Oh my, this is true too.”

Whether the relationship between the couple is quite good, the two did not hesitate to express their affection for each other.

So when Kishimoto-sensei was all seated at the table, we were able to start lunch.

“Eat some of this too.”

“Oh, thank you.”

What was placed on the table was mainly Italian cuisine, which was converted to a light meal.

It feels a bit ironic that a British man married to Japan and made Italian cuisine transformed in a Japanese style.

Still, while eating lasagna prepared by Rika’s mother herself and admiring the taste, Mr. Kishimoto, who was slicing the tenderloin steak with a knife, spoke up first.

“Recently, when Rika sits at the table, she talks about Yooseong a lot, so I really wanted to meet her once. This is the first time my daughter has shown her friendship with a boy.”

After swallowing the food in my mouth, I said in advance to avoid any misunderstanding.

“Rika and I are just normal friends. We were lost on the subway on the first day of transfer, so we got to help each other a little bit, so we just became close friends.”

Then Rika’s mother said as she rolled the pasta with a fork.

“In the morning, I didn’t know because I drove him to the school by car, but he said that he received Yooseong-kun’s help every time he went home in the evening. That’s why I was so grateful that I invited him to dinner today.”

“Ha ha… I see.”

something, something uncomfortable.

Obviously, the first time I came, my heart was filled with the excitement of meeting Mr. Kishimoto in person, but having dinner with Rika’s parents like this made me feel like I was under pressure in the interview room.

I could not hide my trembling voice and silently pushed only food, and Rika, who was watching the scene from the side, intervened.

“Oh dear! What do Papa and Mama do if they keep asking questions to people who eat rice! I’ll pretend while eating!”

Then, in an instant, Kishimoto-sensei’s mood suddenly changed.

“Hey~ Is that right? I was worried about whether Papa was too harsh. It’s just Rika’s first date of the opposite s*x, so what should I do if I have a bad heart?”

“Aren’t Ryu-chan such a person?!”

A nuanced word that clearly seemed to contain me came out from the friendly conversation between the women and the woman, but I had no choice but to laugh it off haha.

The reason a father who has a daughter reacts sensitively to a friend of the opposite s*x in the first place is because it is one of the regular subjects in a love comedy.

If I had a pretty daughter like Rika, I think every man approaching would look like a wolf.

Still, thanks to Rika’s intervention at the right time, the atmosphere at the table that had been rigid was relieved, and I was able to finish the meal with a more comfortable feeling.

After lunch, Rika’s mother had cut fruit for dessert, and Kishimoto-sensei first suggested it.

“I heard from Rika that you’re my fan. If it’s okay with you, would you like to eat this and take a look around my studio?”

“If that’s possible, of course it’s me!”

When I said that because I was excited without knowing it, Kishimoto-sensei nodded with a slightly softened face than at the beginning.

“It’s good to look forward to. Since I moved to Tokyo, my studio has never been revealed to the media.”

“thank you sir!”

To see with my own eyes the studio of Mr. Kishimoto whom I respected, as a fan who worships all gods, there was literally no time to die.

***

Sojiro Kishimoto is a super popular manga artist who turns forty-five this year.

After entering the comics industry by winning the first prize at the age of 20, she has been drawing cartoons for boys for about 25 years, working energetically.

Because he had achieved tremendous success in one field, he was proud to have an extraordinary eye for seeing people.

Since he has been on the road to success since he was very young, it is because there were not one or two people who approached him for his money.

In that sense, the first impression that manga artist Sojiro Kishimoto saw as soon as he saw Yuseong Kim, a friend brought by his daughter, was ‘great’.

In middle school, he joined the basketball club, so his stature wasn’t very short, but there was something about the young man in front of him that looked bigger than his original height.

It must be said that it is a unique atmosphere, or just being there, I felt an unparalleled power that seemed to make people subdue by itself.

I thought it might be a yangachi who approached her based on her daughter’s appearance or her background, but after having a conversation while eating, it didn’t feel like that.

Contrary to what it looked like, it might have been if it had been an unexpectedly simple young man.

Still, I was admiring that my daughter had a good eye for seeing people because she resembled her, and that she had chosen a good friend as her first friend of the opposite s*x.

“In the morning, I didn’t know because I drove him to the school by car, but he said that he received Yooseong-kun’s help every time he went home in the evening. That’s why I was so grateful that I invited him to dinner today.”

Due to the nature of the weekly serialization, I didn’t even know that such a thing had happened between the two of us because we were always only going back and forth between the house and the studio.

Hearing that this young man took care of his daughter in a place he did not know, he felt grateful.

After that, I asked the young man a few more questions.

What are your parents doing, where do you live, and how is Rika doing well at school?

These were questions that could be asked just by calling her daughter’s friend, but it seems that the daughter next to her didn’t seem to be like that.

“Oh dear! What do Papa and Mama do if they keep asking questions to people who eat rice! I’ll pretend while eating!”

Anyone who sees it is shy.

Other than that, he quickly realized that he was sensitive to the emotional state of his wife and daughter.

That Rika is deeply in love with this young man.

Perhaps the wife noticed it right away, so she seemed to intervene more actively.

Even though I was moved by the fact that my daughter was already old enough to know love, I felt a strange bitterness.

This is because Rika, who had been saying that she would marry her father when she grew up since she was young, brought a young man who would become her boyfriend too sooner than expected.

Still, Kishimoto Sojiro said with a smile, because he wanted to be a good father to his daughter.

“Hey~ Is that right? I was worried about whether Papa was too harsh. It’s just Rika’s first date of the opposite s*x, so what should I do if I have a bad heart?”

“Aren’t Ryu-chan such a person?!”

It doesn’t seem like they’re in a relationship yet, but seeing him actively defending himself as if it were his own business, it was kind of cute.

Kishimoto Sojiro smiled warmly at her daughter’s youthful appearance, and proposed to a young man who didn’t seem to notice her daughter’s heart yet.

“I heard from Rika that you’re my fan. If it’s okay with you, would you like to eat this and take a look around my studio?”

Then, his expression brightened noticeably.

“If that’s possible, of course it’s me!”

Perhaps the fact that he is a fan was not a lie to win the favor of his daughter, Kishimoto Sojiro softened his expression without realizing that he was genuinely happy.

“It’s good to look forward to. Since I moved to Tokyo, my studio has never been revealed to the media.”

“thank you sir!”

After all, I have to help my daughter, who is nothing but mugwort when it comes to dating.
