Having children is one of life's great sources of happiness, but there is no denying that raising children comes with a considerable financial burden.

A child, everything is carried out according to the original economic plan of the husband and wife; twins, who had to reduce their quality of life; triplets, struggling under financial pressure, living like dogs; With quadruplets or more, the huge financial pressure may even tear up the otherwise happy family, and the remaining question is who will take care of these burdens - the above description only applies to families with average economic conditions, and wealthy families with annual salaries of one million, net worth of more than 100 million, and dozens of real estate are not qualified to be the subject of discussion.

It is a pity that the income status of the five Nakano sisters' father Ah Leng and mother Ah Short is only above average, Ah Leng ruthlessly chose to divorce in cold blood under financial pressure, and threw the quintuplets to Ah Short, who struggled to support him for a period of time and later became seriously ill and died.

Fortunately, during his hospitalization, he met a past student, 'Maruo', who was a good man in addition to having a lover complex, and the two became a legal husband and wife, making the five Nakano sisters his stepdaughters. Maru lived up to his short promise, entered the elite class, raised the eldest five sisters with a high salary, and now has become the director of a hospital.

- Yes, it is the thin middle-aged man in front of him who has a handsome face, but cannot make a good impression because of his gloomy face.

"Do you think there will be fathers who want their daughters to be in a situation where they compete with other girls for men for a long time? As a father, I can only express my displeasure at this situation. Maru looked at Lyle expressionlessly, and said plainly but without the slightest emotion.

"And rightfully so." Lyle had nothing to argue with, and whoever brought it up first, he was the only beneficiary.

Maruo said coldly: "...... That's what you're going to say? ”

"[I'm sorry] - I'm not used to apologizing, that's all I can say." There is no need to question anything, just like this extremely simple sentence, the apology in Lyle's heart is decisive inadequate, "Although I understand Mr. Maruo's position, I will not back down here, please put the ideological work on Ichika, no matter what the result is, I have no opinion." ”

Maruo was not furious by Lyle's rude words, and under his gloomy poker face was an unusual rationality, and turned his head to look at his adopted daughter: "Ichihana-kun, we have already talked about this issue twice, and today is the last time - I suggest you withdraw as soon as possible." ”

Ichika replied solemnly, "Father, I'm quite satisfied with the current situation. ”

Of course, if you can kick Yukiko, it will become 'very satisfying'.

“…… Is it. Maru stood up, returned to his desk, and gave the eviction order, "I'm going to see a critically ill patient next, so you guys should go back first." ”

The two were speechless and had to get up and leave.

But when the two opened the door of the dean's room, Maruo suddenly spoke: "[Thank you] - I'm not very good at saying this kind of thing, but you have played a huge role in Ikana-kun's acting career, please let me thank you as a father." ”

"Does the merit offset the demerits?" Lyle laughed to himself and walked out of the room.

The Lyle family's 'meeting with the parents' lasted awkwardly for more than an hour while Ah was busy acting as an interpreter; the Miura family's 'meeting with the parents' ended after lunch with restraint and enthusiasm; and the Nakano family's 'meeting with the parents' had to be carried out in the hospital due to Maruo's busy work, which lasted only a few minutes.

Although the most critical issues have not yet been resolved, everything is on the road to marriage.

"I'm sorry, Lyle...... That's the character of my father. While waiting for the elevator, Ichika smiled helplessly.

"What are you talking about~ Isn't this a father who cares about his daughter?" After becoming a couple, Lyle has learned about her family situation from Ichika, and her initial impression of Maruo is 100 points, and after actually meeting, she can't get a good face because she is in a moral disadvantage, so it is inevitable that she will have some small emotions, but she only lowered the score to 90 points.

"Or, I care a little too much about my daughter's feelings, and I want to say some things, but I don't dare to say them because I'm just an 'adoptive father'." To tell the truth, Lyle is a little sympathetic to Maruo, and that mouthful of 'One Flower Jun' represents the distance between father and daughter, "That's it...... If I step on thunder, I apologize, Mr. Maruo is busy working to support his family, and he may not have been conscientious enough in the past, but now you should be able to understand him, right? ”

Yihua's expression was gloomy and she muttered, "I know...... We always knew that. ”

Life needs money, money needs work, work takes time, and Maruo is crazy to work overtime to support them, and they should be grateful as long as they bring a little brain.

It's just that the experience of being abandoned by their biological father makes them have great resistance to the existence of 'father' at a young age, and Maruo is not good at expressing his feelings, so that this estranged parent-child relationship has continued to this day.

"If you want to change the situation, I can give advice...... However, after all, this is a matter of the family of the five sisters and Mr. Maruo, so I, an outsider, will stop here. "Lyle knows how to do it in moderation.

"It's not an 'outsider'~" Yihua smiled, leaned forward to her boyfriend, and shook her fingers, "At least it's also 'half of your own family', isn't it?" ”

》》》》》》》

"—I'm sorry, I didn't see the right time to make a move." An arrow pierced friend A, and if it weren't for friend B's timely milk, Yuiko would have sent her friend to the 'hospital', and apologized as soon as the battle ended.

"It's just a game, at most, it's forced to go offline for a day, and tomorrow is Monday, and it doesn't have any impact." Friend A waved his hand, not caring at all, "Besides, we all know you're in a bad mood today." ”

It's not about Yumiko's 'that day' Lyle, but about Lyle being 'meeting the parents' with Ichika today.

In addition, Yukiko was in a good mood yesterday, while Ichihana was not in a good mood.

Yumiko didn't hide her irritability in front of her best friend, waved the elf longbow in her hand sharply, and said depressedly: "...... Originally, I wanted to come to "Ichiban Legend" here to relax through battle, but the elven archer profession is usually very good, but now I always feel that there is something lacking. ”

Friend B's heart moved, and he proposed: "Then why don't you play "A Legend" and go to the next dungeon~?" ”

"Next copy?" Yukiko often plays quests with Lyle, but mainly visits, and rarely experiences the content of player-made quests.

"Most of the dungeons can't use the character abilities of "Ichiban Legend", so there is no career bias," friend B smiled and listed the two dungeons he had played, "Yukiko, I recommend the [Temple of Solomon] of the 'Black Cat' and the [Spear God Battlefield] of the 'Second Miss', the former uses cold weapons and magic to fight, and the latter is a hearty shootout, I personally recommend a submachine gun, there is nothing more enjoyable than a random sweep~!" ”

Friend A rolled his eyes and complained: "No wonder you haven't bought drinks at noon recently, I thought you were losing weight, it turned out that you were spending money on this kind of place." ”

"Yes, what's the solution! Lyle said that the biggest feature of "A Legend" is the player's self-made copy, don't you have the slightest curiosity about other people's imagination? Friend B said to himself.

"Yo Xi, let's go to the [Temple of Solomon]," Yukiko said with a hearty smile that took over the topic, "It's a bit like moving your body with a fist." ”
