Chapter 31 The Disappointing hero plans a new strategy
"Divorce? No, absolutely not! It would ruin our reputation!"
On the night of the wedding between the Higashimura family and the Yanashima family, when Misa informed her father about the situation, he opposed without even bothering to listen to the details.
"But, Dad! That man is not only cheating, but he's also trying to have a child with someone else's wife!"
"Well, that might be a bit excessive, but men, you know, tend to have a fling or two!"
Men, or rather, people like Dad and Takashi, right? Misa wanted to retort, but she held back. Rumors have long circulated that her father has had affairs outside, even fathering several children. All the while, her mother wept in the shadows.
"I'll talk to them; I'll settle things on that side. You, Misa, continue to be a couple with Takashi, understand?"
Misa's father was always like this. He never listened to his daughter's opinions.
"What about Mom? What does Mom think?"
Despite thinking it was pointless to ask, Misa inquired of her mother.
"Your mother... thinks it's better to do as your father says."
There it was. Despite being mistreated, she obediently followed her father's orders. Misa had never seen her mother defy her father.
"Anyway, if you're thinking of divorce, I won't provide any support in the future! Leave that house too! If you're confident in raising the child alone, do as you please!"
Father declared unilaterally and abruptly left. Since the past, when father unilaterally ordered and left, only silence remained for the two.
However, today, even if only a little, Misa summoned courage.
"Mom... Is Dad really going to his lover's place? Is it really okay, with something like this?"
"It can't be helped. Without your father... there's nothing we can do..."
As her mother resignedly spoke, silence ultimately dominated the scene.

"It feels like..."
"I see."
Two days after the wedding. Before tomorrow's discussion with the Yanashima family, I was investigating Misa-chan's situation. Misa-chan is going through quite a lot.
I had heard that the Yoshino family is quite wealthy. So, even after the divorce, I thought Misa-chan and Junji-kun wouldn't be in any financial trouble, but it seems I miscalculated a bit. Well, not everything goes as planned; I'm not a god. Just a virgin who happened to grope a goddess's breasts.
"Oh, by the way, did the cash card arrive?"
"Yeah, I received it. Detectives are amazing, huh? Investigating up to the point of him creating a bank account."
I had informed Misa-chan in advance that "Takashi had created an account" based on information from the detective. Well, it was actually me pretending to be Takashi. So, when Misa-chan searched the house, an unfamiliar bankbook turned up.
Well, I secretly put that in the dresser too.
Sorry for the unauthorized intrusion, okay? Better late than never.
"Well, then, let's consider it as a temporary fund. Leave it in Misa-chan's hands as property distribution plus compensation."
"Yeah... but how did that person manage to save 8 million yen in the account?"
"Who knows? Maybe he did something bad? Like selling stolen money."
"Hehe, Higashimura-kun has always made jokes like that."
The truth is, to secure the reward for the assassin, a few weeks before the wedding, I once impersonated Takashi, created an account, and had money exchanged.
This time, the money I received is through a bank transfer.
A total of 8 million yen.
Last time, it was cash to avoid the hassle of sending a cash card when creating the account, but this time, there was a collaborator named Misa-chan.
If I directly pay Misa-chan the reward, dealing with gift taxes and such would be troublesome, so I decided to take the form of compensation from Takashi, plus property distribution.
Besides, if I tried to give money directly, it would probably be refused.
However, it's a bit uneasy when she can't rely on her family's support.
"Misa-chan."
"What?:
"Divorce is a given, but for Junji-kun and, above all, for Misa-chan, do you have the courage to defy your father?"
Misa-chan hesitated for a while, but eventually nodded firmly.
"Also, it's important to cut off any feelings for Takashi and discard them. Something like, because he's Junji-kun's father."
"That's fine. Those who have affairs and make their families, especially children, sad... I wish they would all just die."
Oh, you're emitting a good aura. The strength of one's conviction is different when it's based on personal experience. In that case, it's quite acceptable.
Honestly, I myself am feeling quite refreshed. Exposing the two in public, Kanae is expecting a child from the affair, and Takashi-kun has been rendered impotent, with some harassment for Mizuno. Anything more would be like kicking a corpse. I don't really care about what happens to them in the future.
I have no interest in broken toys.
I think Kanae wants the child she's going to give birth to to be happy at the very least, but that's just an extension of her feelings of wanting all of humanity's children to be happy.
Anyway, I hope things work out for Misa-chan and Junji-kun.
"Well then, let's execute the 'Yanashima Bypass Operation' and seek assistance from Misa-chan's father. I'll handle the collection."
"Huh, the Yanashima Bypass Operation...?"
I explained the plan for the future.
First, I'll demand a significant sum from the Yanashima family as compensation or a settlement. They will naturally be troubled.
Then, I'll discuss with Misa-chan's father about keeping this matter discreet, arranging for child support and hush money. It's Takashi's mess to clean up.
The Yanashima family should naturally jump at the opportunity. While they may not agree to the full amount I claim, a substantial portion should be obtainable from the Yoshino family.
Well, he's a shitty old man who approves of cheating, trying to make his daughter miserable. So, he should get punishment, even if it's indirectly.
First, demand compensation from Takashi. Misa-chan will handle this, and Yoshino family will cover it.
If I submit a confidentiality agreement stating "I won't disclose this incident," the father, who cares about his reputation, should agree.
After that, Misa-chan and Takashi will happily divorce.
The wasted payment from Yoshino family will try to be collected from Takashi somehow.
In other words, the financial burden of this incident will be concentrated on Takashi. How much in total? Sorry, Taka-chan, you might be in for a tough job or a lifetime of misery... Do your best, okay? Oh, and don't forget the approximately 30 million yen in taxes!
Takashi-kun, you can do it! Even if your lower region doesn't respond, boost your spirit!
I'm looking forward to your future success!
...
...
"...Let's go with that feeling."
Skipping the cheers to Takashi-kun in the latter half and finishing the explanation to Misa-chan.
"I wonder if it will go well?"
"It's okay, it's okay. Leave it to me. So, for a while, pretend to listen to your father, okay?"
"Yeah, got it. I believe in Higashimura-kun."
Hehehe, that's good. Believe in the hero, compared to defeating the Demon Lord, this mission is a piece of cake.
Oh, right. Today, I was going to talk about the main topic. I forgot about that.
"So, I have a suggestion for Misa-chan."
Yes. As I met with Misa-chan like this, visited this house several times, and intruded illegally... a certain idea was born.
"What is it?"
"After this matter settles down—how about living in Tokyo with me?"
Hello, we have a new project about someone who has returned from an isekai. The main character is a hero who has defeated the Demon Lord. However, for some reason, the human-demon war has resumed and will take place in the MC's original world. The MC, unaware of this, meets a Saint from that world and asks them to join the war. But what does the MC say? They refuse. Is it because their love was rejected by the princess when they adventured together in the past or are they simply fed up? And are the MC will join later?
