Chapter 9 My Daughter Seems to Be Wearing a Cat Mask at School

My Daughter Seems to Be Wearing a Cat Mask at School

“Dad. I have to go to school soon.”

In the morning, after getting ready for school, Satsuki looked at me with a lonely face.

“The truth is, I want to be with you all the time… forever… but in order to become Prime Minister and change the law, I have to go to school.”

As a father, what is the right thing to say to this girl?

The part about wanting to be together forever sounds like “We’ll be together to the grave,” which is scary, but I supported my daughter for now.

“…do, do your best!”

All a father can do is push his girl forward.

If they go in the wrong direction, it is necessary to correct their course.

My daughter’s love was too heavy for me to steer that course. Heavy objects have strong inertia, so it’s hard to change their direction.

“I’ll do my best, but… won’t you give me a kiss before I go, Dad?”

See!

It’s not every daughter who asks her father for something like that.

I smiled bitterly at the spoiled Satsuki.

“Save your lips for someone special one day.”

Instead of kissing her, I patted her head.

Satsuki’s lips pouted as if she were sulking, but she closed her eyes happily at the mere touch of her head. Her fists were clenched tightly, and she seemed to be chewing on her joy.

Satsuki is heavy with love.

But she also has a soft side, so she’s pretty easy to handle.

“I can’t help it! I’ll just take a ‘pat’ today. But next time, I’ll get angry if you don’t kiss me properly.”

“Okay, okay. I won’t kiss you but don’t worry, I’ll take care of you if you get angry.”

“Don’t think I’ll be quiet forever~! I’m off, Dad! …Good luck at work, okay?”

Saying that Satsuki went out the front door.

Immediately, the house went silent. Satsuki is as loud as a storm, but when she’s gone, I feel lonely.

“Good grief….”

Shrugging my shoulders at Satsuki’s request for a kiss, I get ready to go to work.

She’s still the same spoiled little brat.

…I wonder how she’s doing in school.

I suddenly wondered how she was doing in school. Maybe she behaves at school like she does at home.

As long as Satsuki is having fun, I have no complaints about how she spends her time at school.

…No, I don’t think so.

Satsuki is better now, but she was very shy when she was little.

The only people she trusted were her mom, Sasha, and me. She would never make eye contact with or talk to anyone else.

I wondered how she would do in a school full of strangers.

I was a little worried——

——Her father is worried, but Satsuki acts like a different girl at school than at home.

“Good morning.”

When she arrives at school, the first thing she does is stand at the gate and say hello, something she has done every morning since she was elected to the student council.

She doesn’t greet people mechanically; she bows politely; she really greets them.

It was a regular morning event, and many students, regardless of gender, were attracted to her appearance.

Usually, she would jump up and down and say “Good morning!” with a smile to his father, but at school, she plays the role of a very mature girl.

“Look, it’s Satsuki-san!”

“She looks so beautiful in the morning.”

“She looks so cool and wonderful!”

The girls passing by saw Satsuki and relaxed their faces in fascination.

True to her reputation, Satsuki was recognized as a beautiful and pretty girl at school.

At home, her father thinks she is an innocent and pretty angel, but at school, she is treated more like a high-quality sculpture than an angel.

Satsuki is revered as a sacred being that must not be touched.

This is not surprising.

The Ohai Academy that Satsuki attends is known as a high-level preparatory school, but she is an outstanding genius among them.

She is also the first person in the school’s history to be elected president of the student council in her first year, and in her second year, she has the highest grades of any high school student.

She is beautiful, competent, and yet polite to others without being overbearing.

Satsuki plays the role of such a perfect person.

Of course, she feels suffocated.

However, she still tried hard to make her dream come true.

(To become a prime minister, I have to study a lot.)

The students at school probably don’t know.

She is a huge father-con (fuazakon) who loves her father so much that she is willing to bend the law to marry him.

No one knows that Satsuki, who pretends to be perfect, is actually just a father-con girl with a yandere personality.

(Ahh~… I miss my dad.)

And the students at school would never dream that Satsuki thinks about her father all day long.

Even her father, Itsuki, might not know that.

That is how much Satsuki loves her father.

When will Itsuki realize that her love goes far beyond his imagination——
