As I stood in front of the house, or rather the mansion-like building, I was a little hesitant to open the gate.\n\n
âWhat are you getting nervous about now?ăItâs your house, right?â\n
âYomi-san⊠No, when I think about it, I think my dad is really mad at me because Iâve been out of the house without permission for over a month and Iâve been absent from schoolâŠâ\n
âWell, if you had done that without a reason, you would have been beaten up and thrown to the mountains. But this time he knows the reason, so itâs okay. Besides, Yomi has already talked to him.â\n\n
Thatâs true, too.\n
Really, if I hadnât told him why I was there, he would have made me feel like no amount of life would be enough, but since I told him why I was there this time, I could believe that he wouldnât be unreasonable.\n
Besides, with Yomi-san at my side, I donât think he can be too rough with me.\n
Maybe itâs because sheâs the daughter of his employer, but heâs very lenient with her.\n
âThen, I guess Iâll go in for now. But I was wondering about one thingâŠâ\n
âWhat is it now?â\n\n
When I turned to look at Yomi-san with my hand on the gate, she gave me a very annoyed look.\n
She looked as if she wanted to say, âAre you still going to pester me?â\n\n
âNo, I just saw a car in the parking lot that I didnât recognize. Does it mean that the important person you wanted me to meet is already here?â\n
âYou know whatâs interesting about that kind of thing is that you go in unnoticed and end up running into each other?â\n
âPlease donât try to make my life any more interestingâŠâ\n\n
It seems that my intuition was right.\n
And that makes me nervous in a different wayâŠ\n
And sheâs probably the one whoâs going to be my mother.\n\n
âThen could you please wait in the car, Yomi-san?â\n
âWell, Do you want to be punished?â\n
âWhy would you do thatâŠ?â\n\n
I asked Yomi-san to do it because it would not be good to have another girl with me when I was meeting someone who might become my mother.\n
So why should I get this kind of scrutiny?\n\n
âYomi would like to greet them, too.â\n
âAh, thatâs a bitâŠâ\n
âWhatâs the problem?â\n
âI think thereâs nothing but problemsâŠâ\n\n
Itâs true that if the person Iâm going to meet is going to be my mother, then sheâs going to be involved with Yomi-san in the future.\n
Because her father is a client of my fatherâs, and Yomi-san is a client of mine, we will inevitably have a close association as a family.\n
But isnât it better to greet people after they become family?\n
I think it would be rather rude for her to step in here âŠItâs not like Yomi-san to do that.\n\n
âCanât we do this another timeâŠ?â\n
âNo. Besides, weâve already talked about it.â\n
âHow far ahead have you planned thisâŠ?â\n\n
I had no idea that she was even working on the greetingâŠ\n
She really scares me with how well prepared she is.\n\n
âMore than that, is it okay?ăI think it would be worse for you to miss the appointment.â\n
âThatâs true, but⊠well, whatever. Youâve already talked to Dad anyway.â\n
âFufu, Iâm looking forward to it.â\n
ââŠâ\n\n
Are, what was that?\n
I have a bad feeling about this, and for a moment I felt a chill?\n
But itâs also true that I donât have much time left until my appointmentâŠ\n\n
âUm, please donât do anything weird, okay?â\n
âDonât worry, Iâll only do whatâs reasonable.â\n
âNo, please donât do anything.â\n\n
Iâm pretty sure this person is up to somethingâŠ\n
I donât think sheâs going to say anything about living in my house though, as expectedâŠ\n\n
âThen letâs go.â\n
âHmm.â\n\n
I opened the gate and let Yomi-san and the Maid-san in first.\n
As a courtesy, I stepped forward to show them the way and walked through the garden.\n
However, unlike Yomi-sanâs house, the garden was small, so I soon reached the door.\n\n
âIâm home.â\n
âHmm, youâre finally back.â\n\n
When I opened the door of the house, I saw a big man in a kimono standing there.\n
Iâm not sure if he was standing there to wait for me, or if he was planning to fight me in a duel.\n
Iâd rather not do that, because itâs just plain scary.\n
He seemed even more unsociable than usual.\n\n
âDad, Iâm sorry for keeping you waiting.â\n
âNo problem. Come here, please. Yomi-san and the other one as well.â\n\n
With that, he turned on his heel and walked into the back.\n
I took off my shoes, put on my slippers, and got slippers for Yomi-san and the maid-san.\n\n
âHeâs nervous. Thatâs unusual.â\n\n
Yomi-san chuckled and muttered something.\n\n
âEh?â\n
âCanât you tell?ăHe looks very tense.â\n
âMy father is?â\n
âYeah.â\n
âNo wayâŠâ\n\n
My dadâs nervous?\n
I canât imagineâŠ\n\n
âThatâs why heâs even more brusque than usual.â\n
âI seeâŠ?â\n
âFufu.â\n\n
When I tilted my head, Yomi-san smiled at me in a merry mood.\n
Today she is in a really good mood.\n
I think itâs the first time I have ever seen her in a good mood.\n\n
This is why I couldnât help but be anxious about what was waiting for me after this.\n\n
