Chapter 9 "Fiancée" Family Circumstances

After the meal, Yuzuru decided to send Airisa home.

Airisa insisted that it was okay to just leave at the station ... Although it's getting brighter these days, hewas reluctant to let the girl walk the night road.

In the first place, Airisa's return was delayed because she served Yuzuru for dinner.

"Mr. Takasegawa is surprisingly gentlemanly."

Suddenly, Airisa said that as if she was impressed.

Apart from that, Yuzuru does not see himself a gentleman at all, but "unexpected" is a little regrettable.

"What is surprising? What is unexpected?"

"If you feel uncomfortable, I'm sorry, but ... I casually saw myself walking on the side of the road, and I think there are places like that."

It is the teaching of parents and grandparents to walk along the sidewalk when walking alongside a girl.

The Takasegawa family is just such a house, although it is a little old-fashioned way of thinking that a man must protect a woman ... in view of this time.

"It's a parent's discipline. I have to say that we are a house with old-fashioned values and a feudal climate. If you are a man, protect a woman. Well ... I couldn't practice it when I was on crutches. But "

When Yuzuru said so, Airisa was silent.

The face is slightly down.

The neat appearance illuminated by the streets ... was slightly sunk.

"Maybe I caused a nuisance?"

"Yeah? ... Why?"

"Because of me ... I think Mr. Takasegawa got angry with his parents ..."

In other words, it is against the teachings of the house that Yuzuru, a man, is protected by Airisa, a woman, so it may be that Yuzuru was scolded by her parents ...

It seemed that he had such a concern.

"No way! No matter what, there is no such fossil value. In the first place, my parents are free-spirited. I just care too much."

"... Is that so? That's fine."

Airisa takes a breather.

However, a slight color of melancholy remained in the expression.

She still seemed worried that Yuzuru would be scolded by his parents for his actions.

"Is Yukishiro all right after that?"

"... After that?"

"After the matchmaking, after I got home ... Did you say anything?"

Airisa did not answer Yuzuru's question.

However, her cloudy expression and silence eloquently showed that Yuzuru's concerns were true.

"Have you been scolded?"

"... I'm the one who's bad. Don't worry."

Airisa said in a refusing voice.

It's like pushing something away, creating a wall between her and Yuzuru.

But ... at the same time, it looked terribly sad and painful.

Yuzuru decides that it will only hurt her, saying that even if she steps in forcibly, she will be refused.

However, ge feel that ignoring it is not the optimal solution.

"If you say so, I won't step into your situation."

"It would be helpful if you could do that. No more inconvenience to Takasegawa san ..."

"I don't think it's annoying, though."

Yuzuru said so and interrupted Airisa's voice.

Then Yuzuru doesn't look at Airisa and keeps facing the front ... Speaks like a soliloquy.

"Because I became a fiancé, I'm not someone else in terms of your family situation."

There is nothing that can be done.

Yuzuru tells Airisa that way, and then says it again.

"But I'm not your true fiancée. So I respect your will. If it's a sword, it's a sword. If it's annoying, it's a nuisance. If you don't like it, you don't like it. I hope you can express your feelings clearly. "

After a brief silence, Airisa replied Yuzuru with a clear voice.

"At the moment, I'm not going to ask Takasegawa-san for help. It's a little exaggerated ... I'm sorry."

"Well, that's right."

If Yuzuru went to Arisa's parents to nail her, He doesn't know if they would do what Yuzuru intended.

Unless you're very stupid, that can be terrible if you're stupid.

Airisa will not be able to take such a risk, and Yuzuru cannot take responsibility.

"But Takasegawa san"

"Yeah?"

"Thank you for respecting my will. I'm genuinely happy there."

Airisa's voice was much softer than usual.

After a while, they arrived at a position where he could see Airisa's home.

Airisa turned to Yuzuru and thanked him, saying that this was all right.

"Thank you for today. It was fun."

Airisa's expression was the same as usual, with a clear face.

However, he felt that there was no lie in that word.

"I enjoyed it too. The food was delicious."

"Let's take that impression honestly .... I had you eat a lot."

Airisa nodded a little to Yuzuru's compliment.

Then, after showing a little thought, ... she opened her mouth.　

"Takasegawa-san .... Is it okay to go play the game next week? I'll cook and play in."

"Next week? Oh, that's fine. There are some things that I haven't touched yet .... But I don't need a" replacement ".

Yuzuru didn't want to force Airisa to cook.

For the price of letting me play a game and having a little cake, it's a little overkill for Yuzuru's values to have him cook.

"That's not the case .... Let's change the word. Let me make it. It's easier."

She spoke someting in light tone 

"Oh ... that's what it is"

Not serving Yuzuru means going home early and cooking at the Amagi family.　

Yuzuru doesn't know the detailed family structure of the Amagi family, but ... Yuzuru and Airisa may be easier in terms of labor.

In other words, she wants to skip.

"Let's be happy to cooperate .... Can you come to make it every day?"

When Yuzuru says so in half a joke ...

"Fufu ... I'll think about it."

Airisa smiled, not knowing whether he was kidding or serious.

Every Saturday, Airisa goes to Yugen's house, plays games, cooks dinner and goes home.

Such a relationship lasted for about a month.

Mid-June.

"Yes, hello. What do you need, old man?"

"Do you need something to call your grandson?”

"Have you ever called me when I have no use? Get it fast."

When Yuzuru replies, that's true, but he complains that he doesn't have to be so cold.

When the impatient Yuzuru tries to hurry again ...

"Do you know what day it will be in a week? “

"I don't know"

"It's not the case when you're fooling around, right? It's an important day”

Even if it's an important day, you don't know what you don't know.

When he was wondering what day it was ...

"birthday. It's Amagi's daughter's birthday. "

"Ah, by the way ... was that so?"

Before the matchmaking, her date of birth should have been written when she showed me the materials.

You can see it (as you can see), but it's a little earlier than Yuzuru's birthday.

"Absolutely ... are you really going to give a present to your fiancé? “

"No……"

Her birthday was completely blind.

If you are a close lover, you should know each other's birthdays.

"I'm grateful, old man. Yeah, I'll have a present ready."

"Um. ...... Show your great-grandchildren soon. "

"Then live longer for another six years. I'm not going to get married until I graduate from college."

Yuzuru said so and hung up.

"Well, what should I do?"

Yuzuru sighed.
