Then Iori said [Thank you] in a small voice. I became the kind of protagonist who loss hi hearing here.
In the living room, as expected, I was made fun of by the two of them.
If you go upstairs in the living room and turn right, youāll find Ioriās room.
What kind of room is this?
Could we get closer here?
Perhaps a kissā¦.at leastā¦.
My heart was bursting with expectation.
āIoriās room was very simple and full of minimalism.
A bed, a desk, a wooden table. Thereās an acoustic guitar hanging on the wall.
It looks like a room for models.
And Ioriās scentā¦..it smells good.
āSit down properly.ā
āYā¦yes.ā
I sat down as she told me.
There is no shortage of topics to talk about today. About the session, about the cheating suspicion, and about the teacher.
And the marriage proposal earlierā¦ā¦
But here, as expected, I start talking about the marriage.
Even if we were talking about something else, Iām sure this would be on my mind and Iād be distracted.
āIori, umā¦ā¦ about the marriage intentionā¦ā
āā¦ā¦Yeah.ā
āIf you donāt mind, Ioriā¦.ā
Thatās not itā¦..I have to tell her how I feel.
āNo, Iām thinking about dating you with the intention of getting married, Iori. Iām still in high school, and I donāt know what kind of adult Iāll becomeā¦ā¦ā
It might be hard, but thatās where weāre going.
āNaruā¦ā¦, arenāt you taking it too far just because Papa told you to?ā
āIām not, itās still too early, but I will make Ioriā¦..um.ā
āWhat, say it clearly.ā
āIā¦.love you. I love you more than anyone.ā
āThank you.ā
I received a big smile. Itās so cute.
āSo, you know,ā¦ā¦ itās natural that I want to get married.ā
āNaruā¦ā¦ā
Nice atmosphere.
With thisā¦..I can kiss her !
āIoriā¦.ā
I gathered up my courage to kiss Iori.
āItās okayā¦..ā
āIori, Naru kun, what do you want for dinner !ā
kaori san entered without knocking.
āOhā¦.. sorry ! I didnāt mean to intrude !ā
Iori and I fixed the situation, but Kaori san was already gone.
After that, we felt embarrassed, and we just fidgeted around and eventually gave up on the kiss.
