The 'Item Box' That Only I Can Use Is Bugged - Chapter 10.2: Okay

“I’m sorry I didn’t notice.”

“! …No, I’m sorry… I thought it would make you and Mama sad…”

“Haha, silly girl. We wouldn’t be sad or angry about something like this.”

“But… I’m the only one who can carry on our legacy…”

“Hmm? Wait a minute, Nakuru. Are you misunderstanding something?”

Shuichiro gently pulled away and looked at her tear-streaked face, speaking kindly.

Nakuru, confused, simply said, “Huh?”

“It’s true you’re our only child, but that doesn’t mean we expect you to carry on the legacy.”

“What!? What do you mean?!”

I, too, was curious and interrupted.

“Sorry to interrupt. Do you mean the successor doesn’t have to be a blood relative?”

“You know some big words. It’s easier if they’re related by blood, but what I want to pass on is the spirit of Hinobe style.”

So, as long as someone carries the essence of their martial arts, they don’t necessarily have to be a direct descendant.

“So, Nakuru, you’re free to do as you please.”

“Free? I don’t have to train every day?”

“Oh, that. I just enjoyed teaching you so much that I gave you daily tasks. You seem to have more talent for martial arts than I do, haha!”

It was a case of a doting father getting carried away with his daughter’s talent.

Nakuru had perceived her father’s enthusiasm as a strict requirement for succession.

Seeing Nakuru still frozen in shock, I couldn’t help but feel sympathetic.

But now, the misunderstanding between them has been cleared.

If it hadn’t, it could have led to prolonged tension.

“Wha… What is this?!” Nakuru shouted, her heart’s true feelings finally coming out.
