\nāEh, remarriage?ā\n
\n\nAs I was about to go to bed after my exchange with Saotome-san, my dad suddenly came to my room and told me something I didnāt expect.\n\nHe had a serious look on his face and said he needed to talk to me, so I knew it was something important, but this was indeed unexpected.\n\nāYes, we havenāt officially decided when yet, but I think we will soon.ā\n\n
\nMy father is a strict man.\n\nHis body is as tough as a bearās and his stern face alone is scary, but he wears kimonos, which are rarely seen in Japan anymore, and he doesnāt talk much, which is why his neighbors are so scared of him.\n\nI had no idea that my father had a second marriage partner.\n\n\nMy father had raised me by himself ever since my mother died when I was very young.\n\nIām sure he must have had a lot of hardships during that time.\n\nIām a little puzzled by the suddenness of this, but Iām not going to oppose it in any way.\n
\n\nāWell, congratulations. I have no problems with it.ā.\n\nāOh, I knew youād say that. Thanks.ā\n\nMy father said this and left the room as if to say he was done talking.\n\nHe was probably embarrassed.\n\nWe havenāt had many conversations like that between him and me.\n\n
\nā Remarriage huhā¦In this kind of situation, in the gal games that Shota likes, isnāt it a template that the remarriage partner has a daughter? Iām pretty sure thereās a younger sister or older sister and sheās going to be one of the heroines he gotta capture or something.ā\n\nāI remember Shota once giving me a passionate speech like that.\n\nHe said that he wondered if he too would suffer such a fate, but Minato got angry at his inappropriate remark.\n\nAfter all, Shotaās parents are still alive and well.\n\nAnd yet, if you imagine the process that leads up to a remarriage, it would be extremely inappropriate.\n\nWell, I donāt think Shota is capable of imagining that much, though.\n\n\n\nBut still, remarriageā¦\n\nć\nI wish this second marriage had a daughter and she was Nekoto-chan.\n\nā¦. Not that thereās any way for such a convenient situation to occur.\n\nI got a little bit delusional there, but I had to get up early for training tomorrow morning, so I decided to go to sleep.\n

\n\nāGood morning, Saotome-sanā\n\nThe next day, Saotome-san showed up at school again and I greeted her.\n\n Unlike yesterday, she nodded her head and sat down next to me.\n\nI donāt know why she nodded twice, but she didnāt seem to be avoiding me.\n\nI was relieved to know that.\n\nAs I was doing so, I suddenly heard a notification sound from my phone.\n\nI hurriedly put my phone on silent mode because it would be confiscated if it is found out I was using it in class. But I was curious, so I looked to see who had sent me the message.\n\nThen I saw a very cute emoticon.\n\n[Kazehaya-kun, good morning (*āā½ā*).]\n\nWhen I realized who had sent me this message, I immediately looked at the seat next to me.\n\nThe girl sitting in that seat, Saotome-san, was looking at me, and I could tell she was watching me.\n\nBut perhaps our eyes met.\n\nShe jerked her head and turned her face away from me.\n\nHowever, she still seems to be curious about whatās going on and keeps glancing at me. And when she realized that Iām still watching her, she looked away.\n\nI donāt know what sheās trying to do, but for some reason, her ears seem to be turning red.\n\nShe seems to be a shy girl, and I wonder if she was embarrassed to exchange messages with me.\n\n[Good morning, Saotome-san.]\n\nAt any rate, since she turned her face away from me, I try to greet her again on the chat app.\n\nSoon after, I heard a notification sound coming from my phone.\n\nI looked at the screen and saw Saotome-sanās message on it.\n\n[ Itās nice weather today (^ _ ^) ]\n\nIs it a marriage interview or what!! (TN: Omiai ā Arranged marriage meeting set up by parents)\n\nI couldnāt help but think that, but since Saotome-san took the trouble to send me a message, I had to return it.\n\nIāll take it with gratitude because sheās forcing herself to talk to me.\n\n[Yes, itās beautiful weather. Do you like sunny weather, Saotome-san?]\n\n[ Yes (*āā½ā*), but Iām not good with summer (āć»Ļć»ā) ]\n\n\nNot a fan of summer?\n\nOh, you mean you donāt like sunny summer days.\n\nć\n\nI guess she doesnāt like it because itās hot and she sweats.\n\nBy the way, in the idol group that Nekoto-chan belongs to, thereās an idol named Arisa who looks like a young lady(ojou-sama), and Shota was very happy to see her sweating in the summer.\n\nHe was so happy that Minato and I were shocked to see it.\n\nā¦ā¦ No, itās not that I donāt understand the feeling as a man, but the joy was a bit unusual, in Shotaās case.\n\n\n[You donāt like the heat?]\n\n[Yes (;āć» Ļ ć») And Iām not good with insects (@ _ @;)]\n\nIndeed, many girls are not good with bugs.\n\nIām used to it because I sometimes spend time in the mountains for training, but the Class-rep is not very good with them.\n\nāWhen I was a freshman, there was a bug in the classroom that was nicknamed the āblack devil,ā and it became a big deal.\n\nIām sure Saotome-san is just as uncomfortable with bugs as the chairperson is with them.\n\nHowever, the conversation was supposed to be about the weather, but before I knew it, it seemed to have turned into a discussion about summer.\n\nBut I guess thereās no need to worry about it particularly.\n\nAs we were talking, the bell rang and the homeroom teacher came into the classroom.\n\nSince I would be warned if I continued to communicate with her, I decided to put my phone away.\n\n\nThenā¦ā¦.\n\nāItās over alreadyā¦ā\n\nI heard Saotome-sanās voice, sounding disappointed.\n\nāHuh?ā\n\nā~~e!ā\n\nWhen I turned my head to Saotome-san, she turned her face away from me, holding her mouth as if to escape my gaze.\n\nThe fact that she was holding her mouth suggests that I hadnāt misheard earlier.\n\nLooks like Saotome-san was enjoying our interaction and wanted to continue to do so.\n\nAs a man, I think that makes me very happy.\n\nFor Saotome-sanās it may just be that joy at having someone to talk to is simply prevailing, but itās still nice to know that a girl wants to communicate with you.\n\nHowever, I was more concerned about something else right now.\n\nThe voice I just heard sounded familiar to me.\n\nIt was a unique voice that no one can make even if they attempt to.\n
\n\nIt was the same anime voice as Nekoto-chanās.\n\n
<hr class="wp-block-separator is-style-wide">\nTN: Here we are with the next chapter. As I was translating this, I was like āauthor-san, foreshadowing much?ā . But honestly I donāt want that development. But beggers canāt be choosers. Letās see how it goes shall we? But the cliff was nice. Iām excited about the next chapter. And no spoilers. Iām reading it as I translate.\n
<s>Release poll is over and I have put out the next one..hihi.. Please take a minute to vote : Discord or Not</s>\n
