Kasumigaoka Utaha was slightly startled, looking up at her Father, "Hmm..., it's okay."
"That's good."
Kouzi nodded and took a sip of water from the teacup on the table.
It was clear that he had accepted the fact that his daughter had grown up.
This year, Kasumigaoka Utaha was already eighteen, and soon she would be entering University. As an adult, she had the right to make her own decisions and was no longer the quiet, beautiful little girl who used to act spoiled with him.
Kasumigaoka Utaha breathed a slight sigh of relief; originally, she had thought her Father would be angry or disappointed with her.
Satou also had a look of relief.
"However, you must remember to use protection, as you are both still young."
Kasumigaoka Kasukigaoka Gaozhi suddenly said.
Kasumigaoka Utaha's cheeks immediately flushed.
"...Um, don't worry, Father, we always... use it."
When she said this, she felt a little guilty, because just now, they hadn't used it... Hearing her words, Kasumigaoka Kasukigaoka Gaozhi's eye twitched.
You always use it? So you two already had a relationship?
"Uncle and Aunt, are you here to visit Utaha?"
At this moment, Satou asked.
As soon as he spoke, Kasumigaoka Kasukigaoka Gaozhi's expression... darkened slightly.
Although he had accepted the fact that his daughter had grown up, he didn't know why, but seeing this guy always made him feel a little annoyed.
Anyone who sees their daughter, whom they have painstakingly raised for over ten years, suddenly stolen away by a man one day, would not be in a good mood.
"That's right, we came to see Utaha because we were worried about her being alone outside."
Kasumigaoka Airi, standing nearby, said, "But thankfully Satou is here, which puts us much more at ease, right, Kasukigaoka Gaozhi?"
She said, nudging her husband beside her.
Kasumigaoka Kasukigaoka Gaozhi nodded somewhat reluctantly.
"Although the Apartment is a bit small, it's quite clean, and the location is good too. It's only about ten minutes from Utaha's future school."
Kasumigaoka Airi smiled softly, "It's good for you two to live together; you can take care of each other."
"Uh, thank you, Aunt."
Satou was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously nodded.
But then he quickly realized, did this mean they approved of him living with Utaha? He felt a little happy; sure enough, Mother-in-law was easier to talk to.
Kasumigaoka Utaha, who was beside him, gave him a faint glance and gently pinched his waist with her small hand.
Next, everyone sat and chatted for a while, and soon it grew dark, and it was time for dinner.
"Let's go out for dinner. I know a good restaurant nearby."
Kasumigaoka Airi suggested.
"Oh, why don't we just go to my small restaurant?"
Satou suddenly said.
It wasn't far from his Apartment, and the snack bar was right near his Apartment, so it shouldn't be far.
"Okay!"
Kasumigaoka Airi's eyes lit up slightly, "Then let's go check it out."
Kasumigaoka Kasukigaoka Gaozhi was also somewhat moved, wanting to see what Satou's small restaurant was like.
Then, the family walked out of the Apartment and got into the taxi Satou had called.
Soon, they arrived at Satou's small restaurant.
Because they now operated on a reservation system, the storefront was no longer... always crowded with customers as it used to be.
Considering that opening today would make the small shop a bit crowded, Satou decided to temporarily close for the day to entertain his Father and Mother-in-law.
Since there was an additional staff member, Thor and Kanna no longer came to the shop much; usually, only Yusa Emi and Elma helped out.
Satou called them and told them not to come today.
After entering the shop, Kasumigaoka Kasukigaoka Gaozhi and his wife looked around curiously.
"Satou, is this the small shop you opened?"
Kasumigaoka Kasukigaoka Gaozhi's brows furrowed imperceptibly; the shop was a bit small, and it probably couldn't accommodate many customers normally, which meant that the daily income wouldn't be much.
Although for someone like Satou, who lost his parents young and had to open a shop while attending school, it was already commendable, but if he were to get married in the future, supporting a family would be very difficult, and Utaha might suffer a lot at first if she married him.
"Although the shop is small, this child's cooking is so delicious, his business will definitely get better and better in the future."
Kasumigaoka Airi, on the other hand,... seemed more optimistic.
"That's true too."
Kasumigaoka Kasukigaoka Gaozhi nodded; Satou's cooking skills were indeed excellent, and his future life should get better and better.
Clearly, both of them were convinced that Satou's small shop usually had average business.
"Uncle and Aunt, what would you like for dinner? There are still many ingredients in the kitchen refrigerator."
Satou asked.
"Oh, what's your small shop's signature dish? Why don't we have that?"
Kasumigaoka Airi smiled slightly, then subconsciously turned her head to look at the menu on the wall.
It was fine until she looked, but once she did, her expression froze slightly.
Kasumigaoka Kasukigaoka Gaozhi followed her gaze, also wondering if he had seen it wrong.
"Um... Satou... is the amount on your menu written incorrectly? Why is it so expensive?"
Kasumigaoka Airi asked with an unnatural expression.
Because on the menu, most of the dishes were priced at 20,000 yen per dish, and some even reached 50,000 or even 100,000.
Such prices were rarely seen even in high-end restaurants.
Extra
"Uh, please wait a moment."
Satou said, then quickly closed the door.
Ten minutes later.
