One More Second for My Daughter.

Wu shen stared silently at mai for a while, observing her face carefully.

Perhaps he understood something from her expression, that he just sigh and pat her head once more.

Even though this move was considered outdated by this loli in front of him, it was still very calming for both he and her.

And also because it was the best thing he could do at this moment until he learned a few more protagonist style gesture.

As for Mai, she just lowered her head and receive the headpat in a very docile manner.

It was funny in a way, her demeanor almost seemed like she agreed that the statement was a lie.

Well, it was true that she lied.

Because of her conscience she didn't even dare to complain the greasy palm that was upon her head.

"So?"

"Mmmm." She nodded lightly.

"If daddy don't acquire mother... Soon I will disappear."

He stop his hand for a moment, choosing his next word carefully, so as not to frightened the girl into thinking that he was angry.

It was because for such a tense situation, even a millimetre of fluctuations in his tone could be significant, especially for a child her age.

"... So? Why'd you lie just now?" He asked softly, letting his hand roamed again.

"...Because I don't want daddy to worry."

Her voice was even fainter than someone with a cold, and weaker than that of a traveller who had not water for days.

"Ha ha ha. Do you think I'm so fragile?"

"...Yes."

"..." A small cross shaped mark appear on his forehead as he pinched her cheeks with his other hand with a disgruntled look.

The way she unhesitatingly reply his rhetoric so quickly irritate him a bit.

He sigh again, then his expression turn very serious. He was locked the fuck in.

"I will seduce Kasumigaoka Utaha." He exclaimed seriously, to a little child mind you, dear readers.

Perhaps he hadn't any clue how much he sound like a scumbag...

"real?"

Mai's eye which were previously occupied by a sad mist suddenly shone, looking at her father expectently.

"Of course , but..." He trailed off, rolling his eyes to the side, "I'm not too confident if I can succeed."

The woman in question has excellent academic performance first of all.

Now that he think, there were quite a few amount of people who were proficient with academics, and they were mostly females.

Even among them kasumigaoka Utaha would always be in the top 10 nonchalantly.

She was also very capable in the department of sports, and just plainly elegant in her manners, and that boot up with the appearance that can probably seduce celestial beings.

He also remember the script she wrote for the festival received quite a lot of praise.

All things considered, she was one of the people who were admired and desired most highly.

If there was such a thing as a survey in school to make a ranking list of the "girls you wish to date", Kasumigaoka Utaha would definitely be one of the strongest contenders for the top spot.

"Well, even so, I would do it."

Wu Shen retracted his hand and tapped his fingers on the table while his brain works to generate his plans rapidly.

This was our dear protagonist.

A generally lazy boy, but who would do whatever he said he would, no matter how low the confidence he had for succeding.

While he was occupied on generating multiple scenario for which he would acquire kasumigaoka Utaha, Mai suddenly asked him something that stimulate his spine like an electric.

"Dad, is today Saturday or Sunday?"

"...No? What's wrong?"

"You won't go to school?"

Mai blink her eyes innocently and tilt her head in confusion .

"SH*T!"

Because the matter at hand was of so much more importance, the necessity to go to school escape his head entirely.

Looking at the wall clock it was almost 9 o'clock already.

Because he already decide how he should proceed, Wu Shen quickly grabbed his backpack, hurriedly ran to the door and speak quickly while wearing his uniform.

"Mai, you, stay home. No running around. Also no opening the door for strangers.

And remember not to touch the plugs. Be careful if you use the electric kettle. I'll be back at three or four in the afternoon."

Locking the door behind him, he left quickly.

To make going to school much easier, the apartment wu shen rent was very close to his school.

After he sprint with full speed for 10 minutes, he finally arrived at the private Toyozaki academy.

He moved quickly to the second year class C, but when he took a quick peek at the teacher attending the class it was the demon lord.

Unfortunately the first period for today was Japanese.

In the podium Shizuka Hiratsuka was holding a book in her hand while drawing something in front of the blackboard with a chalk.

"Damn, why. It's the cruelest teacher." He felt a migrane spreading rapidly.

If it were any other teachers, they might let him go.

But Hiratsuka Shizuka on the other hand was one of the few who definitely won't.

Looking at his phone, he discovered that there were only a few minutes left until the first class ended, so he simply chooses to bunk the first class.

He walked to the corner and leaned against the wall, silently waiting for the remaining time to pass.

About five minutes later, with the familiar doorbell ringing, Wu Shen peek again.

He could breath a sigh of relief and walk inside the class finally after seeing the demon Lord leave.

He have no more than 3 friends in the class, coupled with a relatively low sense of presence, nobody really give a shit if he was absent today.

So when he walked in, everyone's eyes were on him for a total of two seconds, after that they just proceed with what they were doing.

The Japanese society heavily suggest a social circles, and so unless you are apart of it, nobody would care too much about you.

Of course there are exceptions to everything, so it wasn't like there are no friendly and enthusiastic people in his class.

After putting away his backpack, the brown and black haired boy sitting to his right greeted Wu Shen:

"Wu Shen, Why so late? You played late last night?"

"Not everyone is like you. I just slept overslept." He smiled.

The boy he is talking to is called Nishimura Hideki.

Wu shen became friends with him because of their mutual afftection for games and anime.

"Hey, did you watch last night? I suspect that this will definitely be a dark horse for January's top pick!"

A boy with black-rimmed glasses turned around and also started speaking.

Aki Tomoya.

He was the type of person who can't calm the fuck down whenever there was a topic related to anime.

Always talking excitedly and overwhelming who ever he was having a conversation with, all of which are informations not many people could cared.

"Eh? The season already started!?" Wu shen slapped his forehead and exclaimed, "Damn I forgot to record."

Because he was a transfer student who just started from his second year here, he couldn't adapted to the surrounding that swiftly.

"Humph! I expected something like this to happen, so I specially recorded a copy for you. Come to my house and pick it up if you have time this Saturday."

"Arigatou Gozaimasu." He bowed exaggeratedly. "In return, I will let you see my collection of doujins at home."

They all laugh.

He chat with the two of them until the bell for the next class rang and the teacher entered the class when everyone reluctantly put the matter aside and returned to their seats.

Wu Shen also turned his attention to Kasumigaoka Utaha, who he secretly paid the most attention to.

He sat in the last row on the left, near the window, while Utaha was the first in the right row near the door.

If the two of them were connected in a line, it is exactly the diagonal line of the classroom with the greatest length.

Like every other day, the girl read the library's copy of the novel during recess and then promptly fell asleep during class.

She didn't have any close friends, so she was almost always quiet.

Because of that she was alone most of the time, which made her even more withdrawn than even Wu Shen.

She resembled "The Lotus Theory of Love" perfectly, which emerges from the mud but remains unsullied.

A thing of beauty that can only be viewed from a distance, but cannot be played with.

Since her grades are always terrific and she didn't bother anyone, the teachers just ignore her even if she took a nap during classes.

This was the point that fascinate Wu Shen the most, why could Utaha who always sleep during class maintained her good grades?

It would be great if he could learn this skill himself.

The second class today was maths subject.

It was an experienced like a hell on earth during the usual Japanese class, but maths was simple for him.

Therefore, he did not focus on the class, but looked at Kasumigaoka Utaha's sleeping back, silently strategizing how to establish a connection with her.

Totally not creepy at all.

One has to have a valid reason for everything.

You can't just approached someone and talked with them out of nowhere now could you?

Both he and she were a strangers, like two parallel lines that never intersect.

Even now he couldn't help but suspect that there were some shananigans going on before his future self dominate Utaha, most likely a nuke.

When the class was finally over, Hideki Nishimura, who was sitting on his right, sneak up to Wu Shen curiously and asked in a small voice, "Wu Shen, you are not interested in Kasumigaoka-san right?"

"Uhm? How'd you know that?" He asked, like nobody beside him have a working eyes.
