The landowner's father is known as an absolute authority figure in the local area. He's strict even with his own family, and never acknowledged me as his heir, treating me like I wasn't even his son... To get his approval for my marriage, I brought Iroha back to my hometown. To my surprise, he flashed a smile I'd never seen before. What was hidden behind that smile became clear soon after: "I want you to bear my child, Iroha," he told me.
