My Childhood Friend Who Was Doing Personal V-Tubing Got Ntr’d by a Singer (LOL), but I’ve Decided to Just Sit Back and Watch the Two of Them Roll Down the Hill of Life and Fall Into Ruin - Chapter 10: Sending Childhood Friend's Dad to the Holding Cell Whoosh! Super Exciting!

Chapter 10: Sending Childhood Friend’s Dad to the Holding Cell Whoosh! Super Exciting!

Mom was making cream stew, perhaps? A really delicious smell tickled my nostrils, and I heard the fan go fooooon. It was for something in the middle of cooking.

“When I got home, Himeko was eating instant food alone, so I thought it was strange and questioned her―――I heard you harshly dumped Himeko, who had been tricked by a bad guy, and on top of that, you’re getting along with other girls! I’m disappointed in you, Takumi-kun!”

Ugh, so Himeko explained things to her dad in a way that suited her. Also, hearing this Himeko dad call me Takumi-kun gave me goosebumps all over my arms, zozozozo.

“No, Himeko was the one who cheated and then ignored me when I got hit with violence―――”

“Shut up! Himeko is crying right now!!”

I tried to explain the facts correctly, but he cut me off midway through. No good, this old man had bl00d rushing to his head or something and wouldn’t listen to anyone. Actually, he’d always been full of himself and overbearing, but I didn’t realize facing him would make me feel this sluggish….

“Please take your leave, Major General from somewhere.”

But Dad didn’t seem fazed by Himeko’s dad’s attitude at all; he stayed perfectly calm. He looked like a middle-aged guy on the outside, but I had to honestly respect how reliable Dad was in times like this.

“Who are you calling Major General! Hmph, I’m a genius with good looks and personality, so you’re not entirely wrong….!! Putting that aside, I never thought you’d be such a heartless family to abandon her so easily after being together for 10 years!!”

“Your daughter is the one who deceived and double-timed a partner she’d been with for 10 years, right?”

But Dad didn’t seem bothered by Himeko’s dad’s attitude either. By now, he was countering precisely like he was just processing paperwork.

“……Moreover, I heard you unilaterally took away the Vtuber activities she was doing! She was crying that she couldn’t even log into her Vtuber SNS account after you stole it from her. Stealing Himeko’s reason for living, you heartless villains!!”

“It was handled according to the contract; would you like to see it??”

Against Himeko’s dad, who changed the subject whenever things got inconvenient and ranted emotionally, Dad just calmly fired back with facts; his argument skills were too strong, hilarious.

“Eeei, whatever you say, you have a comeback! Don’t just spout logic that suits you!! If Takumi-kun had held onto Himeko more firmly, this wouldn’t have happened, right? In the end, it’s your inadequacy that’s to blame! Don’t you feel ashamed as a man!!”

Himeko was the one who messed up, so why was I getting blamed? I stared in disbelief at the old man―――no, Himeko’s dad――but he had a smug look like he’d nailed it. Himeko’s mom nodded along too, saying yeah, yeah. What a matching pair of husband and wife….

“It would be more unreasonable for someone to cheat behind the back of a boyfriend she’s having a healthy relationship with at an appropriate age. After over 10 years together, with support in daily life and hobbies, wouldn’t throwing sand in the face of a lover like that be more shameful?”

While I stood there stunned and speechless, Dad calmly responded to Himeko’s dad.

“Fundamentally speaking, there’s no reason for us to prepare meals for your daughter. We were just responding with consideration because she was close to our son.

Normally, no matter if both parents are working or whatever, it’s the parents’ job as you two to handle your own child’s meals.

There’s no grounds for you to complain just because we stopped doing it.”

“Shut your trap! I’m saying it’s unreasonable to unilaterally go back on something you’d done for over 10 years!”

“It would be more unreasonable to try pushing your duties as guardians onto others. Besides, even though we did it willingly, we never took a single yen for your daughter’s food costs over those 10-plus years.―――It was just our kindness in giving.”

Dad didn’t forget to demean Himeko’s dad with the word “giving,” no mercy at all.

“What did you say?! That makes it sound like we’re freeloading off your house!! How rude!! We trusted you and left Himeko with you because we’re busy with research jobs!!”

“Even if you’re busy, leaving your own child alone half the week makes you failures as parents. I don’t know if you gave money or not, but you could have hired a housekeeper or helper, or arranged meals easily enough.

Besides, it’s impossible to keep treating her the same way after she repays kindness with betrayal. Please leave.”

“Kiiii!! Shut up and listen, and you just twist logic! Your actions deeply hurt Himeko!! Emotional damages! I’m demanding emotional damages from you!!”

Himeko’s mom let out a hysterical screech, pointing at me and Dad while howling gyaaaaan!

“It’s hard to understand what basis you have for claiming emotional damages.”

Dad sighed as he retorted, but Himeko’s mom turned her face bright red and screamed.

“Hahh!? Himeko is a girl, you know? Hurting a girl’s heart makes you guilty, obviously?!”

“The justice system in this country isn’t that lenient over something like that.

And if it turns into a dispute, we have evidence on our side too.

As the saying goes, children grow by watching their parents’ backs, but seeing you two really drives home how important it is to teach kids properly about benevolence, righteousness, loyalty, trust, courage, and strategy.”

“What did you say, you bastard!! Are you mocking us?!”

Himeko’s dad must have snapped, because he punched Dad down.―――Yeah, doubtful!!

Dad staggered from the cheek hit, so I quickly circled behind to support him.

“‘Kyaa, Papa’s so cool!!'”

“Hmph! I was a delinquent in my younger days too…! Now, stop your long-winded nonsense and apologize to Himeko!! Prepare Himeko’s meals! Get the stone back from the brat! I’ll wait 3 minutes.”

I barely held back from retorting what the heck is the stone. Himeko’s dad was puffing up, praised by his wife and daughter without even understanding what he’d done. Research job, huh…. Well, Himeko was smart too, so they must have been capable in studies. Maybe just no social common sense. Anyway, 1, 2, 3….

“Excuse me, the neighbors yelled at us at home and my dad got punched. It’s assault in progress, so please arrest him right away.”

“‘……Huh??'”

The Urakiri family made dumbfounded faces.

“By the way, this whole exchange is being recorded by drone heh heh heh!”

“‘Hahh!?'”

When I jerked my thumb back toward the stairs upstairs, there was the drone that had shone in the Shiota violence incident. I’d operated it on the fly just now. Oh, and this was live-streaming too, yeah! Everyone watching??

The drone was working overtime, so I’d clean it nice and gentle later. You’re too active, buddy!

“So that fan noise that’s been going on is that, not the vent?! It’s voyeurism! A crime!!”

“No, we were just filming inside our own house when you showed up zehahaha!”

I just said whatever there.

After the pale-faced Urakiri family fled, the police arrived, so I showed them the drone footage and got questioned on the spot, but it was treated as assault caught in the act normally.

“Dad, were you aiming for this from the start…?”

“Who knows.”

Dad grinned slyly, but thinking about it, after watching those Urakiri parents for over 10 years, Dad knew their personalities inside out, so maybe―――he’d anticipated this ever since he told Himeko to cut ties.

By the way, the next morning, local TV had a small news segment about Himeko’s dad getting arrested, and I burst out laughing. He got caught way too fast!

While watching the news, Dad said that family seemed to have more money than most, so they’d probably hire lawyers or post bail with cash, but socially, Himeko’s dad was done for, nom nom.

At lunch break, as usual, surrounding our bentos with Kusaka and Asakura, Asakura said like she’d just remembered.

“Yesterday’s Tak-kun drone live was hilarious as always. That dad was insane.”

She said it while placing soy milk on her chest and sipping with a kiss. I agreed completely.

The era belongs to drones now, eh heh heh. ……And as she said that, Asakura fiddled with her chest position with that iffy look again today.

“Your b00b position fixing is making it hard to know where to look, so have a bit more modesty or consideration for others….”

“It’s fine if Tak-kun sees.”

Muu, she said something that left me stumped for a reply, and I didn’t know how to react.

“……I’ve been thinking lately things felt off, but my bra size doesn’t fit again. Ahh~…… Shopping is such a hassle~”

At Asakura’s listless words, I nearly blurted out really?! Even now her b00bs jiggled plenty, but they were still growing…?!

In the middle of that talk, Kusaka was unusually quiet, so I glanced over, and she stared desperately at Asakura’s chest with a despairing expression, her shoulders slumping.

“Liar…… Liar b00b b00b boom!!”

Ahh…… This was the gap between those who have and those who don’t…… The merciless disparity……

I gently patted Kusaka’s back, which looked like she was about to do a chilled prostration on a snowy mountain, and came to know the sorrow that people aren’t equal.
