Chapter 145.1. I Don’t Want to Mix Work With Family Trip
-Miu’s Dad POV-
Takano Yoshiyuki looks tired as he gazes out of the car window, sighing.
“I feel like I’ve been overestimated lately for some reason.”
I’m aware that I’m just an ordinary person, despite having worked at the Ministry of Magic in the past. I can’t come up with groundbreaking ideas or revolutionary methods to change the way things have been.
I possess some foresight, and he can boast a little about his past successful investments. However, I have never got an award or received any prizes.
Speaking of boasting, my lovely family is ordinary. It’s nothing out of the ordinary.
“But still, it feels like everyone has misunderstood me…”
As a substitute for Miu, I’m working hard to support Takano County, but the reactions I receive are strange.
If they were disdainful because I wasn’t a magician. I’d understand. I used to be looked down upon with such eyes in the past.
However, everyone respects me. It’s not that I dislike it, but I feel a sense of discomfort when nobles treat me with such an attitude. Perhaps my childhood memories are influencing me with bias.
I was able to buy a house with my investments. When I tell them it’s thanks to my father-in-law’s help, the people around me nod in agreement and eagerly ask me where I plan to make my next investment.
Lately, I have been focusing on venture companies like Gardo Farm, which has entered a capital alliance, and Uruhara, a magic tool company that started creating convenient magical devices. I casually mention that there aren’t many other significant investments.
“I see, Takano-dono. I have also been considering investing in a farm-related venture recently. Could you introduce me to Gardo Farm?”
“I agree with Uruhara’s philosophy of providing magical tools to the general public. Would you like to join me at the upcoming party?”
“Gahaha, well, Yoshiyuki-dono, what will you tackle next? Let me have a taste too. Oh, by the way, have you decided on a fiancé for Miu-chan? My second son is quite the magician, you know?”
For some reason, they all try to hop onto his investment wagon. Honestly, the investment amounts are not substantial because they are venture companies.
So, he thought that even if it failed. The damage would be minimal. He also considered the possibility of profitable investments in the food industry. With that in mind, he invested only with personal funds from Takano Yoshiyuki, Mirei, and Miu.
Before I knew it, Gardo Farm and Urahara had grown significantly, and the unrealized gains from their stocks had become astronomical.
For an ordinary person, it’s a life-changing sum. They wouldn’t have to work for generations to come.
Initially, I thought people praised me as a visionary investor because of that. However, I feel that something is different.
People like Kongming are not get evaluated as investors. So, I was perplexed. It was just a result of a series of coincidences, yet people praised me too highly.
By the way, I politely declined Duke Aguni’s proposal. Along with offers of engagement from other nobles, I used them as firewood. It’s too early for Mu to have a fiancé.
“However… if I can assist Miu in her future role as the head, then maybe it’s not that bad.”
Even if I receive high praise because of an accident, I will continue to do things steadily as I always have. I will use the high evaluation from others to make it easier for Miu when she takes on the role of the head in the future and lay a solid foundation.
“Papa, are you tired?”
Sitting next to me, Miu looks at me worriedly, her ice-blue eyes focused on me. She’s such a caring and adorable daughter.
“No, I’m fine. Just a little tired from work, maybe.”
I smile and gently stroke Mihane’s soft hair.
“I can use recovery magic on you! And I have papa’s tea for a soothing effect!”
“Thank you, Mii-chan. But I don’t want to rely too much on recovery magic.”
Even if there are no side effects, I don’t want to rely on recovery magic for minor fatigue. If I start relying on it, I can push myself beyond limits, and plenty of people who desire Miu’s healing magic.
“In that case, I’ll give you a shoulder massage! Papa, you always work for us. Thank you.”
She stands up and reaches for my shoulders, her petite body wobbling unsteadily. She’s still clumsy if I take my eyes off her.
“We’ll do that once we get off the car and go back home, okay?”
“I’ll give you a shoulder massage once we arrive at the inn!”
“Yes, please.”
“Hehe, Mii-chan loves Papa so much.”
My wife, sitting next to Miu, smiles gently.
“I love papa, and mama sooo much! Ahh!”
With a blooming smile, Miu tries to embrace me and ends up tripping, knocking over the juice I had left on the table, and burying her head in it.
“Oh, Mii-chan, you’re something. Here, wait a moment. I’ll get you a towel.”
.
Amused by Miu’s excessive enthusiasm and boundless energy, my wife tries to take a towel out of her bag. However, a maid who was waiting nearby hurriedly pulls out a handkerchief and wipes Miu’s teary face.
“Such peace.”
It’s nothing more than a peaceful moment in response to trouble caused by a child. I also take out a handkerchief and wipe her face.
It’s a common scene during a family trip.
Currently, Yoshiyuki and his family are on a family trip during the late September Silver Week holiday.
The destination is Kamakura.
It’s an annual family trip that we take. I thought of canceling it this time because my wife is pregnant, but she reassured me that it was okay, and the doctor said there was no problem, so we decided to go on the trip.
The idea of checking the situation in Kamakura for work came up, and it turned into a family trip.
We are using a tourist bus from Dog Puppy Corporation, which is a modified armored military vehicle.
