<em><u>Inference</u></em> means to decide what will happen next based on what you know
Hope it helps
My inference is that Negi's father wants to spend more time with his daughter. So at this point he is actually being selfish.
Is a true story that happened long ago one of your choices? If so, then I would go with that, or stick around for few more suggestions on it.
This shows that he doesn't want to make a mess. He wants to be organized. And cares about his friend being attacked by a mob. Hope this helps. To give more info I would need more information about him.
