Chapter 92
"Oh! It's Ryosaku-kun! It's been a while..."
As soon as Lisa's father saw Ryosaku, he shouted with joy.
In fact, due to work and other commitments, he was significantly late for the meeting time, leaving Ryosaku "waiting."
"Kenichi-san! I never thought I'd be staying at your house."
When Ryosaku had previously gone to Lisa's house to help her with her homework, he had become very close with the father and they even called each other by their first names.
"Oh my, what a coincidence, or maybe a prank from God, a whim. Ah ha ha ha..."
"That's true. Is this what they mean when they say 'truth is stronger than fiction'...?"
"Yes, you're right. You still have a good sense of humor, Ryosaku-kun."
Lisa's father was still young.
After graduating from high school, he married his current wife and had Lisa soon after.
At the time of the wedding, his wife's belly was already large, and Lisa was in a sort of "standby state" so that she could come out to meet Ryosaku and the other people outside at any time.
Ryosaku was genuinely happy about the "good fortune" that had come his way this time.
Lisa's father is a funny and friendly person, so Ryosaku, who is unfamiliar with farm work, will surely be warmly welcomed into his home.
Ryosaku was sure that Lisa's father would kindly teach him how to do the farm work and would make him feel comfortable working there.
And Ryosaku...more than anything, he was happy to be reunited with Lisa.
"By the way, Kenichi-san. How is Lisa-chan doing? Is she doing well?"
"Yeah, she's doing well. I've been busy lately, so I'm sorry I didn't let Lisa contact you. Lisa had her own issues... When she gets home from school today, I'll have you meet her again."
"Thank you. I'll be able to meet Lisa-chan for the first time in a while. I wonder how many years it's been since I last saw her..."
At this point, Ryosaku did not miss the moment when a shadow fell on the bright expression of Lisa's father, Kenichi, just for a moment...just for a brief moment.
(I wonder if something has happened to Lisa-chan? I've never seen Kenichi-san look so gloomy before...)
Although feeling a little uneasy, Ryosaku got into the light truck driven by Lisa's father and they headed straight for Lisa's house.
