*Note: Since nobody said nothing about the translatios made by Gemini, that's mean that it's good or at least you can understand, so I'll make the translation with Gemini from now on.
Like yesterday if you don't like lolis... don't read this chapter but it would be a pity because is interesting, but it's your decision.
...
With no other choice or excuses, Kari obeyed and sat down next to her mother with her head bowed, expecting to be scolded for having hidden such an important matter.
"Why are you bowing your head?" – Kari's mother asked.
"A-Aren't you going to scold me?" – Kari asked, surprised.
"Kari, as your mother, I have to worry about everything concerning you, but these types of things are also important. I'm not as closed-minded as your father to forbid you from going out with boys, but first, I need to know him, know what he's like. You won't blame me for wanting to know what kind of boy my daughter likes, right?" – Kari's mother asked.
Perhaps any other girl in her place would not have understood her mother's words and would have accepted them reluctantly, but that wasn't the case for Kari. Kari was emotionally mature enough and had such a high capacity for empathy that she knew how her mother felt at this moment.
"I understand, Mom. If I were in your place, I would also be anxious to know if the boy my daughter likes is a good person or not" – Kari nodded.
"I appreciate you being so understanding. Now, as I said, I don't object to you dating boys. After all, you are at that age where you start to get interested in things you weren't before, but… at least tell us; it's not like I was going to forbid it" – Kari's mother said.
"Mom… even if I did. What would Dad and Onii-chan think about it? I'm afraid that's impossible, that's why I didn't tell anyone. Besides, I wanted to understand my feelings before telling anyone" – Kari said.
It wasn't until a few days later, and thanks to the help of her friends, that she understood. She had truly fallen in love with Akira at first sight. However, she didn't know what he thought of her; that's why Sunday's date was so important, because it would bring them closer and help them get close to each other, and, maybe…
"I understand about your father and your brother, but… couldn't you have told me at least? You know I've always been a very understanding mother. I admit I might have been surprised at first, but it was better than finding out by chance" – Kari's mother said.
It was true that her father and brother would overreact if they found out she liked a boy and was going on a date with him.
"I'm sorry…" – Kari said.
She didn't know what to say. It was true that her mother was very understanding with her and her brother, she had always been that way, but she was afraid that not even her mother would understand her feelings for Akira, she was afraid that she would forbid her from seeing him again, that's why she didn't say anything, because she knew that even the most patient people have their limits, and her mother was no exception.
"Good. Now that you understand, tell me. What is the boy you like like? Maybe someone in your class? I understand there's a boy… I don't remember his name, but he's the captain of the soccer team, and I've heard he's very popular" – Kari's mother said.
She had actually heard it from the girls at the sports festivals, that's why she knew.
"Him? No. Maybe he's handsome and good at sports for other girls, and while it's true that many girls at school are in love with him… I don't like him" – Kari denied.
That pretentious and conceited guy was not to her liking. Many girls praised him for how perfect he was, but that boy also loved to show off and flirt with girls; he was a complete scoundrel and, without a doubt, a future playboy.
"If it's not him. Do you like someone from your class or something?" – Kari's mother asked.
"Actually… he's from another school" – Kari said.
Upon hearing this, Kari's mother looked at Kari suspiciously.
"Is he older than you?" – her mother asked.
"… Yes" – Kari said.
"How old is he?" – her mother asked.
"…16" – Kari said.
Upon hearing this, Kari's mother frowned. 16 years old? Kari was only 11 years old.
Wasn't it a bit dangerous to let her daughter go out with someone 5 years older?
While she knew that if they were adults, 5 years would be nothing and it was completely normal (in fact, she herself was 3 years younger than her husband), being minors, this difference was quite noticeable.
If that boy were 12, 13, or at most 14… it might not have been strange, but 16 was too much.
"Kari… he's too old for you. Don't you think?" – her mother asked.
First, she wanted to see how Kari viewed this boy, and then she would judge for herself whether or not he was dangerous.
"Mom. I know what you're going to say, but I assure you that Akira is a kind, honest boy who cares about his friends. Besides, he also goes to the same class as Mikan's brother and they are even friends. And if that weren't enough, he has also been to Mikan's house countless times. You can check it out if you want" – Kari said.
Then she began to praise Akira even more so that her mother could understand how amazing he was… and so that she wouldn't forbid her from seeing him.
"From what you say, he seems like a good boy" – Kari's mother said.
In fact, he seemed more than that. Her daughter had described him almost as if he were a saint.
Was this boy so good that even her daughter praised him that way?
It should be noted that, apart from her brother and father, Kari had never spoken well of a man. In fact, she didn't even have a male friend; all her friends were female, and she even preferred to stay with her brother when she visited her aunt and uncle's house and had to see her cousins.
Seeing that Kari didn't want to relate to men, they thought that perhaps their daughter had some psychological problem or something, so they took her to a psychologist, but the psychologist said that Kari was perfectly fine, only that maybe she didn't like men.
Of course, back then Kari was still too young to know if she liked men or women, so the psychologist advised them to wait and see.
That said, now you can understand how surprised her mother was.
"Alright. I will call Mikan's house and ask. If what you tell me turns out to be true, I will not oppose you having a date with him" – her mother said.
"Mom, thank you!" – Kari said happily.
"But…! – her mother said suddenly.
Kari fell silent.
"In return, he has to come for lunch next week. Although I will let you have a date with him if everything you told me is true, I will not accept you having any more dates unless I meet him in person and judge him for myself" – her mother said.
"But Mom. What will happen to Dad and Onii-chan? They would never accept it" – Kari said.
{Note: I think we all agree that neither of them would accept it, but this is a harem fic, and in a harem fic, the protagonist gets all the girls he is interested in no matter how long it takes or the difficulty, much less the age. F in the comments for Tai and his father}
"For now, it is better not to tell either of them" – her mother nodded.
Obviously, her mother knew both of them, and although it was possible to convince Tai with great difficulty, convincing her father was an impossible mission. After all, what father is willing to let his little daughter date other boys?
And this is not a matter of age, because even if Kari were 18, it would be very difficult for her father to accept his little daughter having a relationship with a boy.
"That's why you will bring him on Sunday at lunchtime. Your father has work and won't be able to come home for lunch, while your brother has training from morning until night, so he won't be here either. It will only be you, me, and him" – her mother said.
For now, it was better that Tai and her father didn't find out.
"Okay" – Kari nodded.
She knew this was the best option, because if she refused, it was possible that her mother would not allow her to see Akira again, and it wouldn't even be impossible for her to call the police.
"Good, then I will let you go on your date, but only after checking that what you said is true" – her mother said.
"Good" – Kari nodded.
"And one more thing. In case it is true, I want you home at 6:00 PM in the afternoon, not a minute later" – her mother said.
"Understood!" – Kari said.
While his mother was talking to his sweet sister, Tai had heard everything, and noticing that his mother was about to leave the room, he quickly went to his room, threw his backpack aside, and lay down on his bed to reflect on what he had heard.
There was so much information that his head hurt. Apparently, thanks to his friend Mikan, his little sister had met a boy she had fallen in love with, and now they were even going to have their first date, and if that weren't enough… the boy was even a year older than him!
How could this have happened?
"I can't believe it. How is it possible that my sweet little sister has fallen in love with a man? Impossible!" – Tai said, surprised.
At that moment, Tai remembered that until very recently, Kari was always chasing him, always snuggling with him on the sofa, and they even slept together on occasions.
He knew they had drifted apart a bit because he didn't spend much time at home, but… had it gotten to the point of speaking to him in such an irritated tone and even dating other boys?
What was happening to that little sister who, until recently, said she would marry him when she grew up?
Where was the sister who always treated him sweetly and never got angry with him? Was she maturing?
Was she entering adolescence, a rebellious stage? What kind of boy had captivated her that way?
Did that boy do something to her? Why did he want to date his sister knowing the large age difference between them?
Was he a perverted lolicon?
Tai's mind wandered through a sea of questions to which he had no answer, so at dinner, he asked Kari if she had plans for tomorrow.
He told her that he had to train and wouldn't be able to be with her, but that he wanted to know what she would do on Sunday out of curiosity, so as not to raise any suspicion, but Kari's answer surprised him.
"I'll be at a friend's house almost all day, and I won't be back until the afternoon" – Kari said.
She lied! His sister, who had never lied, had lied shamelessly to him!
He was furious and sad, but at least he knew the date would take place early tomorrow, so he just had to pretend he was leaving and wait in hiding.
Then he would follow them throughout their date and find the perfect moment to unmask that pervert who wanted to snatch away his dear little sister.
{Note: Ehem, Tai is quite sis-con, as can be seen. Kari was too, but thanks to a divine intervention, she has fallen in love with another man and will have a normal and healthy relationship with him}
