Prologue My Daughter Is Trying to Change the Law So That She Can Marry Me

I have the love of my life, my daughter.

She is the most precious thing in the world.

“Daddy, I’m… going to marry you when I’m a big girl!”

When she was five years old, my daughter said this every day like it was a habit.

Of course, I know it is just a temporary statement.

I don’t take what a young girl says seriously.

But it made me happy.

My daughter, whom I love, loves me, her father.

That made me very happy.

But I know.

I know that when she grows up, she will probably forget me.

When she is in the upper grades of elementary school, she will probably become rebellious and start hating me.

“Don’t wash them with Dad’s clothes.”

If she said that to me, I might cry.

When she grows up and becomes a junior high school student, I am sure she will get a boyfriend.

Because my daughter is cute. As a father, I don’t want her to have a boyfriend, but… there is no way that men in the world will leave such a cute girl alone.

It’s sad, but that’s “growing up.”

Daddy will shed tears of frustration, but Daddy will be happy that Daddy’s daughter is growing up.

And when she becomes a high school student, she may start to ignore me.

This is the age when she begins to value her friends more than her family. At this age, there is not much a father can do for his daughter. At best, I can give her some advice to help her follow the path she wants to follow.

And sometimes it is important to scold her so that she does not stray from the path.

When she becomes a high school student, she will face various temptations. She may be seduced by bad adults. At this time, only parents can protect their children.

For your sake, Daddy may become a hated person.

A father can do anything for his daughter’s happiness.

When she grows up, she will get married.

At that time, I am sure I will burst into tears when she raises three fingers and says, “Thank you for all you have done for me.”

I could see a wedding where she would give a speech while crying.

This is how much I love my daughter.

My daughter will get married, have children, have a happy family, and live a happy life.

This is a wonderful blueprint of the future.

That’s what Daddy had hoped for.

But… there was something strange about my daughter.

My five-year-old daughter used to say, “I’m going to marry you, Daddy!”.

Then, when she entered the fifth grade of elementary school, she began to ask, “Daddy will marry me, right?”.

When she entered the second grade of junior high school, she began to analyze, “How can I marry you, Dad?”.

Then, in the first year of high school, “I will change the law to marry my dad!” became her goal.

…Huh?

Deer, my daughter… Haven’t you changed your way of speaking since you were five years old?

She did not forget her promise to “marry her daddy” even when she grew up.

Hey, wait a minute. I’m happy about these feelings. I’m happy, but… You don’t really want to marry your dad, right?

She kept saying that, so I couldn’t tell her the truth, no matter how much time passed.

Dear daughter.

You and Daddy are not really biological fathers and daughters.

You’re a stepdaughter—I should’ve told you when you became a high school student. But!

“Dad, I’m… going to become prime minister to change the law!”

My daughter really wanted to marry me.

That’s why I couldn’t tell her that we are stepfather and daughter.

I wonder what’s going to happen from now on——
