I, Aki Tomoya, will not be a simp.

Page 130

As father and daughter, they cannot understand each other. One side has already thought things through, while the other is only considering their future. The conflict will only escalate.

"Does Furuhashi-kun have Mr. Kirisu's contact information?"

"Well, yes, there are, but..."

Fumino Furuhashi looked at Tomoya Aki with a puzzled expression, not understanding why he would mention Mafuyu Kirisu.

"Aki, are you going to betray Fumino?"

"I don't know the other teachers at Ichinose Academy. Yesterday, the teacher seemed quite concerned about Furuhashi. And maybe her father has already called the police. Tomorrow, the school and the academy will probably know about her running away from home. At times like this, don't just trust two people your own age. Can you trust the teachers a little bit too?"

Aki Tomoya couldn't help but roll his eyes. Although he had an unpleasant experience with Kirisu Mafuyu, to be honest, he didn't think she was a bad teacher. On the contrary, he felt that she was really responsible.

Moreover, don't underestimate the possibility that parents won't call the police if their child runs away from home. Take Aki Tomoya, for example. Last time, his cousin, Hyodo Michiru, said she was running away from home, but it turned out that she was the only one kept in the dark. Her parents and relatives all knew her whereabouts. Aki Tomoya was half in the same boat, since he eventually guessed it too.

But if Furuhashi Fumino's father is really that magnanimous, Aki Tomoya can only admire him, and then spit all his understanding and pity on his face.

It's funny to sulk with your child when they run away from home!

"In short, even if we don't contact the school teachers, we can at least ask the two teachers at the academy for their advice, right? I don't think running away from home can become a long-term battle."

Chapter 156 Safety Precautions (Progress 6)

Chapter 156

Whether to contact the academy or Kirisu Mafuyu, Aki Tomo didn't insist that Furuhashi Fumino choose, but he did express his sincerity.

If your family is worried that they might call the police, it's best to explain the situation to the tutor and the school teachers.

At Aki Tomoya's suggestion, Furuhashi Fumino and Kudo Sayaka discussed it and contacted two teachers from Aomine Academy, as well as Kirisu Mafuyu, who was in charge of tutoring her at the school.

This is not something that can be hidden. Once the fact that she ran away from home is exposed, it will only cause a bigger problem.

It would be better to take advantage of the time now and have Fumino Furuhashi discuss it with the others before deciding how to talk to her father.

So, half an hour later, the two teachers from Aomine Academy and the teachers from Ichinose Academy arrived.

"Phew, Furuhashi-kun!"

Kirisu Mafuyu, who had run all the way in her tracksuit, breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Furuhashi Fumino.

Upon learning that Fumino Furuhashi had run away from home, Mafuyu Kirisu was terrified.

"Thank you!"

It was also at this moment that Kirisu Mafuyu turned to thank Aki Tomoya. Aki Tomoya was the one who made the call, and Furuhashi Fumino and Kudo Sayaka didn't know what to say.

Actually, she did receive a call from the school this morning.

After leaving home last night, Fumino Furuhashi did not return. Her father immediately called the police and also contacted the school and the academy.

"So this is Furuhashi-kun! You scared me to death!"

Junko Harumi ran up to Fumino Furuhashi, panting, and grabbed her shoulder.

They didn't find out about this after Aki Tomoya called; they learned about it this morning through a phone call from the company president.

Not only was Kirisu Mafuyu terrified, but Mr. Tsubota and Harumi Junko were also frightened.

The student who was having a good day at their tutoring center yesterday suddenly said today that he ran away from home.

"I'm sorry to have worried you all, I'm so sorry!"

Fumino Furuhashi said with shame.

The three teachers shook their heads, and then sat down at Aki Tomoya's prompting.

The seating arrangement has been rearranged, with three students in one row and three teachers in another. There's quite a bit to say about this.

After learning the details of last night from Fumino Furuhashi, Mafuyu Kirisu sighed, "It's a headache. Professor Furuhashi doesn't seem to be someone who's easily persuaded."

She had contact with Fumino Furuhashi's father, Mafuyu Kirisu.

He was a very serious man, and not easy to approach.

The father and daughter are now having a serious argument over the issue of college application choices.

"We still need to clarify this matter with your father, Furuhashi-kun. The current problem is probably how to get Furuhashi-kun and that professor to sit down and talk calmly."

Mr. Tsubota said, stroking his chin.

As teachers, they do have a responsibility to help students, but ultimately this matter is Fumino Furuhashi's family affair.

The key is to enable the father and daughter to have a proper discussion and reach a conclusion calmly.

"I'm sorry for suddenly having this argument with my father and making the teachers worry..."

"It's alright, it's good that Gu Qiao is alright. Besides, there's always a way out. If we can discuss it with your father, things will be much easier!"

Harumi Junko comforted her.

Hearing the description that she ran away from home out of fear, it's safe to say that the relationship between Fumino Furuhashi and her father is more complicated than they imagined.

"But, it's not a good idea for Furuhashi-kun to stay at his friend's house like this, is it?"

At this point, Kirisu Mafuyu mentions that Furuhashi Fumino is staying at Kudo Sayaka's house.

This is not a long-term solution. We still need to find a way to get Fumino Furuhashi home and discuss things with her.

"...Even if I go back now, if I can't explain things to my father and make him understand my thoughts, what's the point of going back?"

Fumino Furuhashi agreed, saying that in order not to worry everyone, she would go back now and discuss it with her father again.

But what if it's the same as the last tripartite meeting at the school?

Why does her father still fail to understand her lifelong aspirations, ignore her efforts, and use the future as an excuse to avoid understanding her thoughts?

If that's the case, Fumino Furuhashi really doesn't know how she'll face him in the future.

Even after her mother passed away, and her father became engrossed in his work and rarely cared about her affairs, causing their relationship to become increasingly distant, Fumino Furuhashi was still able to comfort herself with various excuses.

Of Fumino Furuhashi's parents, only her father remains, but he feels cold and distant to her.

From the moment her mother passed away, Fumino Furuhashi no longer experienced the so-called love of her parents.

"Are we making Fumino go back to face that jerk again?!" Kudo Sayaka said indignantly. "Can't you just talk to me properly if you don't want Fumino to study astronomy?!"

As if recalling her father who ignored and looked down on her, Sayaka Kudo became somewhat agitated.

Whether it's distrust or genuine concern, and they're not making it clear, in Kudo Sayaka's view, both her father and Furuhashi Fumino's father are scoundrels.

"Calm down, Kudo."

Aki Tomoya also wanted to say that he was Furuhashi Fumino's father, her only family.

But precisely because of this, he couldn't say anything good about an incompetent father; he didn't know much about him, only what Fumino Furuhashi had told him.

According to Fumino Furuhashi, he also felt that the person had gone too far.

This is his daughter, not a stranger. He has never cared about her, and only after Fumino Furuhashi has worked so hard for so long does he make such a sarcastic remark. Is his heart made of iron?

If things had been handled more tactfully, Fumino Furuhashi wouldn't have ended up running away from home.

"However, teachers, please consider this carefully. First, you can let Mr. Furuhashi know you are safe. However, in order for the two of them to have a proper conversation, it is advisable to refrain from meeting for the time being and give each other some time to calm down."

After calming Kudo Sayaka down, Aki Tomoya made a suggestion to the three teachers opposite him.

Tell Fumino Furuhashi's father that her current situation necessitates a meeting, but whether or not to meet immediately requires careful consideration.

Fumino Furuhashi calmed down, but no one had seen her since last night, and no one knew what was going on.

What both sides need now is to calm down. Only when they calm down can they have a chance to sit down and talk things over.

"Furuhashi-kun, are you going back?"

As Fumino Furuhashi's teacher at the school, Mafuyu Kirisu asked earnestly.

Fumino Furuhashi shook her head; her reaction was pretty much what everyone expected.

"To put your father's mind at ease, it would be best if Gu Qiao stayed with the school's teachers."

At this moment, Mr. Tsubota said that he knew about Kudo Sayaka's family situation and that it must be somewhat inconvenient.

But Kirisu Mafuyu is different; following her would reassure Furuhashi Fumino's family that she is a teacher.

This was a good suggestion, and all eyes turned to Kirisu Mafuyu.

"Um, this..."

Kirisu Mafuyu's expression seemed somewhat flustered.

She kept having doubts in her mind: she couldn't even take care of herself, how could she take care of her students?

Besides, the house hasn't been cleaned in a long time, and if I were to bring Fumino Furuhashi back, it might scare her.

Kirisu Mafuyu hesitated, knowing it was a good suggestion, but due to certain special circumstances, she couldn't agree immediately.

"Teacher Kirisu, is there something inconvenient?"

Harumi Junko asked.

Meanwhile, Kirisu Mafuyu looked embarrassed.

She wanted to say yes, but the situation didn't allow it, and her eyes were filled with conflict.
