Chapter 119 – Calming Down

*Clap*… *Clap*…

*Clap*…*Clap*…

*CLAP, CLAP, CLAP*!!!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!

You two genuinely put on quite a show!

I wish you eternal happiness!

Kuuuh~! I’m so envious of your beautiful girlfriend!

Thank you for giving us a beautiful scene!

There was a sudden applause and grown louder with each minute.

Whistles also rang out, which pulled me back to reality, to my circumstances when I confessed.

That’s right. There were people around us. Not that I care since I don’t know them.

More importantly, Mayumi-san– Sara-san’s mom.

Realizing what I did in front of her, I again grew anxious.

“Kazunari-san, is there something wrong?”

“N-no, it’s nothing. It’s just that even though it was a spur of the moment, and because Mayumi-san is here, I just…”

“Fufu… that’s true. Also, I don’t have a problem with it. And Mother doesn’t have an objection to us being together.”

Come to think of it, from the time we first met, Mayumi-san already had a favorable attitude toward me. And if Sara-san was okay with it… then there’s no problem?

And then there’s Natsumi-senpai and the others.

Will they get mad again and start calling us an “Idiot Couple” once more?

I was embarrassed to face everyone, but upon looking at Sara-san, whose arms linked with mine, I made up my decision.

I turned around, looked at the three of them, and saw Mayumi-san happily applauding with a smartphone.

As for Natsumi-senpai… she was crying tears of joy.

After recovering her demeanor, she walked quickly towards us, and when Sara-san let go of her embrace, Natsumi-senpai flung towards Sara-san.

“I’m so glad!!! I am happy for you two!!! Sorry for this. I was just delighted when I saw Sara-san was able to reply properly… Uwaah.”

Natsumi-senpai started to brawl louder as she said it while Sara-san wiped her tears off.

“Thank you very much… Natsumi. I was able to come this far because of your support. Because of you, I was able to be with my beloved Kazunari-san. That’s why… that’s why…”

And without being able to speak any further, Sara-san started crying quietly together with Natsumi-senpai as they embraced each other.

Halfway through it, my eyes also got foggy.

It’s been a long time since I cried for someone else…

I’m sure Natsumi-senpai was supporting Sara-san in some sort which I don’t know.

Natsumi-senpai was perturbed about whether Sara-san would be able to answer back correctly.

Just like what Yuji is to me, Natsumi-senpai thought of Sara-san that way.

That’s why I am grateful to Natsumi-senpai… genuinely appreciative. And thinking about how thankful I am made me cry.

They stopped crying at some point, and I was the only one crying alone.

I remembered everything that had happened from when I met Sara-san up until now and cried even more. It was a first for me to cry this much.

When I came, Sara-san hugged me with my head wrapped around her arms.

“Calm down, Kazunari-san…”

It felt like it was the first time for me that Sara-san closely hugged and comforted me.

I relaxed my nerves as Sara-san tightened her hold a little.

“Fufu. You like being spoiled that much?”

Sara-san sweetly whispered into my ears. It made me nervous for a little, but I became calm after a little while. I then felt Sara-san’s soft hands on my face.

“Don’t flirt too much, you idiotic couple.”

Natsumi-senpai, who recovered a little, said, retorting like usual.

——————————————

Ultimately, I cried towards the end. And add to that, I even displayed a scene where I was being comforted by Sara-san. Especially in front of Mayumi-san…

As I got a little depressed, Sara-san suddenly caressed my head and invigorated my spirit.

“Ufufu… Congratulations to both of you. To think that my daughter would do such a thing. And I never thought Kazunari-san was brave enough to confess, even more in front of us all.”

Mayumi-san said with a look of interest.

Umm… Can I take this as a sign of approval from Sara-san’s mother?

“Takanashi-kun, please make my best friend happy. I wouldn’t forgive you if you made Sara cry.”

It looked like Natsumi-senpai had entirely recovered.

Of course, I have no intention of making Sara-san cry. If there were, it would only be tears of joy.

“Iyaa~ Congratulations. I didn’t expect such a scene would happen. Seeing this made coming along worthwhile. You may have a tough time at school but if you need help, just let me know. Next time… It would be my turn.”

As usual, Hayato is such a nice person.

He was inspired by what happened and revitalized his spirit.

Come to think of it, Sara-san and me were alone for quite a while. Was there any progress between Natsumi-senpai and Hayato?

But from looking at the two of them, there is no change.

“Takanashi-san… I will leave Sara-san in your care. This girl, once she put her mind to it, there’s no stopping her. Just let me know if you have any troubles.”

“Don’t worry. Even if there’s trouble, and even if Sara-san is like that. I am determined to accept her whole.”

Mayumi-san approved my answer.

Soon, I’d also have to tell this Sara-san’s father.

As if reading my thoughts, Mayumi-san amusingly laughed.

“As for now, it’s okay not to tell him. He’s busy, and if we tell him right now, he won’t be able to do his job properly.”

It looked like meeting Sara-san’s father might take a while. What a relief. But I wanted to tell him too and get over it quickly.

“Haa (*Sigh*)… It was a relief to see this, considering Sara-chan’s hatred of men. Next, I was looking forward to grandchildren.”

“Ugh!”

Talks like this should be in the future, especially since we only started to date.

Isn’t it an appropriate topic after marriage… Does she mean she already approves of marriage?

Whether Sara-san was listening or not, she had a happy expression while clinging to me.

“He~e… Are you talking about kids already? Hey Sara, which do you prefer? A boy or a girl?”

Natsumi-san, who was seemingly amused at Mayumi-san’s joke, asked Sara-san.

Noo… Please stop with the jokes!

“Eh…? Are you talking about babies?”

“Yes, yes!”

“Hmm… For me, I think…”

As Sara-san said it, she turned towards me and turned bright red.

I was probably the same.

“Even though we were joking… don’t tell me, are you seriously thinking about it?”

As Natsumi-senpai said this in amusement, Sara-san replied.

“N-no… not yet , right, Kazunari-san?”

Not yet…

“R-right. We need more time to talk about stuff like that. We only started dating.”

This topic should be stopped.

I don’t want Sara-san to have strange thoughts in the near future.

“Ufufufu… It’s not the time yet , right, Takanashi-san?”

Please stop!!!
