"Get your ass out here right now, or I'll kill you in a minute!"
Hearing the angry shouts one after another, Yoshida Saki curled up under her blanket, shaking.
Without thinking, she called the person who gave her the strongest sense of security right now.
"Hikari-kun..."
"Something happened at my house."
"Could you come over..."
"Wuu..."
After seeing that Hikari answered immediately and said he would come right away, the fear lodged in her throat finally eased a little.
But when she saw the bedroom door shaking from her father's blows as if it might give way at any moment, she started trembling again.
She had always been timid by nature and had no courage to stand against her father.
Especially when Yoshida Kosuke was drunk and acting like a genuine violent alcoholic.
Right now, Yoshida Saki only hoped Hikari would arrive as soon as possible.
It was the only hope she had left.
———
Yoshida Saki was trembling inside the room and Yoshida Kosuke was shaking all over outside it.
But not from fear, from anger.
Before carrying out today's plan, he truly hadn't expected Yoshida Saki to resist so fiercely.
He knew his daughter's personality.
With how timid she was, she should have been scared so badly that her whole body went weak.
He should have been able to pin her down, and then do whatever he wanted.
But the reality was completely different.
Not only had Yoshida Saki resisted the whole time, she had even run into her room and locked the door.
The plan was going extremely badly, and the fire inside Yoshida Kosuke burned even hotter.
BANG! BANG! BANG!
Yoshida Kosuke began pounding on the door with all his strength, determined to achieve his goal today no matter what happened.
Unfortunately, as an ordinary office worker, he had overestimated his own strength.
Even though the door wasn't especially sturdy, he still couldn't break it open.
"Saki-chan! Open the door! Let's talk!"
"You really won't open it? You damn bitch!"
"Just as filthy as your mother!"
After his hands started hurting from all the pounding, Yoshida Kosuke tried to trick Saki into opening the door.
When his daughter still didn't respond and seemed determined to keep it shut, he became even angrier.
He raised his leg and started kicking the door while hitting it at the same time.
"As a man and as a father, I'm getting through this door today!"
Veins bulged on his forehead. Yoshida Kosuke stepped back several paces, lowered his shoulder, and began running forward, preparing to smash the door open with a charge.
Using the momentum from his run-up, he drove his shoulder hard toward the door.
He had a feeling that if this shoulder strike landed, he would break it open.
But just as his shoulder was about to hit, a hand suddenly grabbed it.
The hand was unbelievably strong. It only gripped half of Yoshida Kosuke's shoulder, yet completely stopped his charge and even lifted him slightly.
His feet hung off the ground while still in a running posture, making the scene look somewhat ridiculous.
After being stunned for a moment, Yoshida Kosuke realized something was wrong.
He turned around and looked at the handsome young man who had appeared out of nowhere.
"Who are you? Why are you in my house?"
Hikari politely replied, "Hello, sir. I'm Saki-chan's classmate."
"Classmate?", Yoshida Kosuke froze for a moment before showing a look of realization.
"Oh! So it's you! You're that boyfriend Saki recently got, aren't you?", Yoshida Kosuke glared at him.
Hikari shook his head, "No. We're just classmates."
Hearing that and seeing Hikari's handsome face, which filled him with jealousy, Yoshida Kosuke felt he was being lied to and exploded in anger.
"You little bastard! Looking like that, who knows how many times you've tricked my daughter into sleeping with you? She's probably already molded to fit you!"
"And you still don't dare admit it. I'll beat you to death, you animal!"
As he spoke, Yoshida Kosuke raised his fist and swung it toward the face he envied so much.
Smack!
Hikari casually blocked the punch with his palm, then backhanded Yoshida Kosuke across the face.
Looking at the cheek that was swelling rapidly, Hikari said expressionlessly, "Animal? You're the real animal here."
"As a father, you actually tried to make a move on your own daughter. You wanted to force yourself on your biological daughter."
"Everywhere in the world, someone like you is worse than an animal. Dying a hundred times wouldn't be enough."
Hearing those words, Yoshida Kosuke finally recovered from the slap.
Although he hated hearing it, he couldn't really refute it right away.
But a pervert was a pervert because he had his own twisted logic.
So when faced with Hikari's condemnation, Yoshida Kosuke quickly replied with complete confidence.
"Saki eats my food and uses my money. I raised her from childhood. When her father has needs, what's wrong with her satisfying them a little? Shouldn't she? That's only natural!"
"And what about you, bastard? Have you raised her for even one day? Yet she's throwing herself at you."
"I think this little bitch is just bewitched by your pretty face. What a s!ut. Just as filthy as her mother!"
Listening to Yoshida Kosuke continuously spew insults, Hikari felt somewhat speechless.
Because in a certain sense, Yoshida Kosuke could be considered invincible.
After all, when people insult someone, they usually focus on the women in that person's family.
Yet Yoshida Kosuke had already cursed out his wife and daughter himself, leaving nothing for anyone else to say.
How could that not be invincible?
"What's wrong, brat? Why aren't you talking?"
"You think uncle makes sense too, don't you?"
"Since you're so sensible, uncle is willing to give you a chance. Go convince her to come out, and then we'll enjoy Saki-chan together."
"A father's love and a boyfriend's love. Double the love. Saki-chan will definitely feel amazing... AHHH!"
Hearing Yoshida Kosuke's words become more and more twisted, Hikari couldn't be bothered anymore and punched him directly across the bridge of the nose, knocking him to the floor.
"Shut up, you disgusting pervert."
Lying on the ground, Yoshida Kosuke's nose poured blood. Tears streamed down his face, and the pain left him unable to speak.
But compared to how Hikari dealt with other blond-haired NTR types, this was already holding back.
After all, Yoshida Kosuke was Yoshida Saki's father. Hikari couldn't exactly erase the guy from existence right in front of his daughter.
So he would see what Yoshida Saki wanted to do and what she thought.
[Ding! Host has successfully stopped Yoshida Kosuke's beastly behavior, saved Yoshida Saki's tragic fate, and promoted the spirit of pure love!]
[Reward obtained: Pure Love Points +100![
After checking the system reward, Hikari raised his hand and knocked lightly on the door.
"Yoshida-san, I've already dealt with the trouble outside. Open the door."
Inside the room, Yoshida Saki, who had been hiding under the blanket and trembling, immediately got up and opened the door.
She trusted Hikari. She also believed he could solve what seemed like an enormous problem to her.
After opening the door, and seeing Yoshida Kosuke lying on the floor after being beaten down, she finally relaxed.
"Are you okay?", Hikari asked as he looked at Yoshida Saki, whose clothes and hair were both disheveled.
"I-I'm fine! I messed them up while hiding because I was scared," Yoshida Saki shook her head and explained.
Seeing that she was still somewhat tense, Hikari comforted her for a few moments.
Then he kicked the man at his feet and asked, "What do you plan to do with this guy?"
Yoshida Saki lowered her head and looked at her father, Yoshida Kosuke, lying on the floor.
After hesitating for a few seconds, she spoke firmly.
"Call the police."
Yoshida Saki knew that Hikari never showed mercy to bad people.
She also hated the fact that Yoshida Kosuke had tried to make a move on his own daughter.
But he was still her father.
She couldn't bring herself to have Hikari kill Yoshida Kosuke.
And she didn't want Hikari to commit murder for her sake.
So the punishment she thought of for someone worse than an animal like Yoshida Kosuke was to call the police.
"Okay."
Hikari wasn't surprised by her answer and nodded immediately.
Although he had already let Yoshida Kosuke off easy, the moment he heard the words "call the police," Yoshida Kosuke panicked.
He suddenly rolled across the floor. Instead of standing up, he dropped to his knees before Hikari and Yoshida Saki and bowed in a perfect dogeza.
"Saki-chan, I'm sorry! Please forgive your father!"
"Don't call the police, okay?"
"I was drunk just now. My mind wasn't clear, so I made a mistake. That wasn't what I really wanted!"
"If the police come and take me away, I'll never be able to find work again after going to prison!"
"Please forgive me this once, Saki-chan! Onegai!"
Hearing her father beg so pitifully, a trace of hesitation appeared in Yoshida Saki's eyes.
After all, he was her biological father, and she was his only daughter.
But Hikari had personally seen this same pitiful-looking Yoshida Kosuke moments earlier with a twisted face as he slammed himself against the door.
He couldn't help laughing.
"Was what you did really just because you were drunk?"
"Drunks always like to blame alcohol after committing crimes, as if they completely lost consciousness and were fully controlled by it."
"But if alcohol had completely taken over, would you still be able to smash into doors and have enough energy to do something so disgusting?"
"Being drunk is just an excuse to avoid responsibility."
"And can you honestly say you never had any thoughts about Yoshida-san before you started drinking?"
"At most, alcohol is an amplifier. For someone like you, it's probably something that gives you courage."
Hearing Hikari expose exactly what he was really thinking, cold sweat immediately appeared on Yoshida Kosuke's forehead.
"I... I... I really know I was wrong... I..."
Yoshida Kosuke stammered as he tried to continue begging, but Hikari couldn't be bothered listening anymore.
He took out his phone and called Ikazuchi Rika.
