Yuanshan's home.
With a smile on her face and carrying a gift she had prepared in advance, Yuzuru followed Kazuha into the house.
"Dad, Mom, we're back!"
"Yuzuru is here! Come in, come in quickly!"
The Yuanshan couple greeted them warmly with smiles on their faces.
"You said it, you came, we're all family, why bring gifts?" Despite saying this, the Yuanshan couple looked at Yusheng Nan with eyes full of joy, clearly very satisfied with this polite and thoughtful son-in-law.
I'm not afraid of comparing goods, I'm afraid of comparing people.
Compared to a certain Osaka black chicken, the difference in quality is immediately apparent; Hanyu Nan is simply far superior, leaving the other party far behind.
After exchanging pleasantries, Sakura Toyama took Kazuha to prepare the rest of the lunch, while Ginjiro Toyama stayed behind, first sitting down at the table with Kusunoki Hanyu, and also wanting to get revenge for their last drinking session.
"Come on, Yuzuru, let's have a drink first."
Ginjiro Toyama generously slapped a porcelain cup the size of a fist, and the aroma of sake instantly carved a path through the fragrance of the rice.
The Osaka Prefectural Police Chief of Criminal Investigation, who usually wears a uniform, was unusually not in uniform today. His dark blue shawl revealed his bulging muscles, and he exuded a heroic air.
He looked at Yuzuru and said feigned anger, "You got away with it last time, but you won't get away with it so easily today!"
Yuzuru chuckled and raised his glass: "Father-in-law, please."
After several rounds of drinks, the wine in the porcelain cups gradually dwindled.
Ginjiro Toyama's face grew increasingly red, and he began to stammer, his tongue twisting: "You, you kid... you really have a good capacity for alcohol... last time you were clearly... you were clearly pretending to be drunk!"
"Uncle is very magnanimous; I was just lucky."
Yuzuru Hanyu's suit was still impeccably tailored, except for a hint of pink on the tips of his ears.
He didn't secretly use his ability to eliminate the effects of alcohol; it's just that his current physique, combined with his usual training with the Drunken Bottle Cap, makes him someone who can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk.
Kazuha then came out of the kitchen carrying a plate of food. Seeing the two of them already drinking enthusiastically, she pouted and said coquettishly, "Daddy, you just know how to bully Nan... Nan can't hold her liquor."
Upon hearing this, Ginjiro Toyama's face, which had been flushed, darkened.
She's not even married yet, and her precious daughter's side is already turning against her husband. What are we going to do in the future?
"Kazuha, you're not even married yet, and you're already siding with him?"
Ginjiro Toyama said, feigning anger.
"No, Dad! It's you who always tries to get Nan to drink!" He Ye argued without backing down.
Seeing the father and daughter staring at each other, neither willing to give in, Yu Shengnan stepped in to smooth things over: "Father-in-law, it's been a long time since you've had such a good drink. It's only right that I have a few more drinks with you."
"Haha, Yuzuru is so sensible. But today we'll have to have a good competition." Ginjiro Toyama said with a big laugh.
"Hmph! I'm ignoring you all!"
Kazuha frowned, turned around, and angrily went to complain.
Watching Kazuha's adorable, puffed-up back, the father-in-law and son-in-law exchanged a knowing smile, then raised their glasses again to continue their "contest" between men.
In the kitchen.
Kazuha pouts as she comes to complain to Sakura Toyama.
"Mom, why don't you do something about Dad?"
"What do you mean, 'manage'?"
Yuanshan Ying slowly ladled out the prepared hangover soup and set it aside to cool. "Back when your father was pursuing me, your grandfather made him drink a whole liter of shochu."
As she spoke, she gently tapped the rim of her bowl with the porcelain spoon in her hand. "And, really good wine... can't make you drunk."
Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their lunch.
After a few drinks, Ginjiro Toyama opened up completely, recounting his heroic deeds in the police force when he was young, his face beaming with excitement and his hands moving with great enthusiasm.
Yuzuru listened attentively, occasionally chiming in with a few words.
Kazuha and her mother sat to the side, occasionally amused by the funny stories her father told. Her eyes were full of love, tender and passionate, as she looked at Yuusuke.
As he drank more and more, Ginjiro Toyama finally ran out of alcohol.
With a "thud," he collapsed onto the table without warning.
Yuzuru took a sip of wine without changing his expression, then turned to Sakura Toyama, who was trying not to laugh, and smiled: "Mother-in-law, this wine tastes good. You can prepare more next time."
Kazuha, blushing, poked him and said, "Stop bullying Daddy!"
For Kazuha, the two people—her beloved father and her deeply cherished lover—are the most important people in her life. This puts the girl in a dilemma; it's not good to take sides with either of them. So, she decides to speak for whoever loses.
She can't possibly side with whoever wins, can she?
“How can you call it bullying?” Yuzuru put his arm around Kazuha’s waist and whispered in her ear, “This is romance between men.”
A meal together greatly brought the father-in-law and son-in-law closer together.
After the meal, Yuzuru took out a portion of the Purifying Spring from the dark space and handed it to Kazuha, asking her to cook a pot of hangover soup.
The hangover soup, brewed with the purifying spring, easily cured Toyama Ginjiro's drunkenness, and not only that, it also purified his father-in-law's body.
Police officers, especially veteran officers, who work tirelessly year after year, are bound to have some hidden injuries in their bodies.
.........
2 PM.
"Mother-in-law, please take care of Father-in-law. I'm going out with He Ye first."
"Go ahead, and be careful on the road."
After speaking to Kazuha's mother, Yuu Nan led the girl out of the Toyama house.
"Nan, thank you."
Kazuha skipped and hopped ahead, then suddenly turned around, a bright and cheerful smile on her face.
Her high ponytail, tied with a pink headband, swayed lively up and down with her movements. Her long, straight legs were visible beneath her short skirt, and her healthy, fair skin shone with a captivating glow in the sunlight. As the skirt swayed, glimpses of what lay beneath it were vaguely visible, yet not clearly discernible.
The elusive imagery is incredibly alluring and evokes a sense of wonder.
"Fool, why are you thanking me?" Yuzuru stepped forward and took Kazuha's hand.
"He just couldn't control himself!"
Kazuha playfully stuck out her tongue, looking incredibly cute.
She was happy that the person she liked showed respect for her parents. The boy's thoughtful and considerate behavior today made the girl feel especially proud.
Thinking of that black chicken who only had eyes for the case, the girl felt fortunate, but couldn't help but sigh in her heart: I really have good taste.
"Kazuha, this afternoon you go with Ran and the others to explore Osaka, I'm going to visit my master."
"Okay~ Remember to give my regards to my master!"
The two gave each other a high five, clearly defining their roles.
