My Parents Gave Me a House So I Decided to Start a Marriage and My Childhood Friend Ran for It, so We Got Married and I Won in Life!
“Okay, I’m off.”
“Okay, be careful.”
We hugged each other tightly.
Then our lips met.
It was the first time since we got married that we would be apart for a few days, and I had no idea how much I would miss her.
I wanted to feel Miyu’s presence as much as possible.
I was sad to leave, but it was time to go, so I gently let go of Miyu’s body.
Then I started walking toward the station…
◇◆◇
I took a train from the nearest station to the Shinkansen station.
I planned to meet Takanashi there.
When I arrived at the station, I checked my watch and found that I had plenty of time to spare, about 15 minutes before the meeting time.
(I should look for an ekiben that I can see in the distance.)
I looked at the ekiben shops in the distance and compared the signs to see if there were any tasty-looking bentos.
While I was idly doing that, I was lightly tapped on the shoulder.
“Good morning, Muramatsu-san. Sorry to keep you waiting.”
“No problem. Let’s buy an ekiben and get on the Shinkansen.”
“Yes! I’m looking forward to the ekiben. ……!”
Takanashi’s eyes lit up.
Apparently, she was really looking forward to it.
We each bought an ekiben and boarded the bullet train.
Comparing the numbers on our tickets, we looked for our seats and found them.
“Muramatsu-san, you can have the window seat.”
“You remembered me, didn’t you? You don’t have to worry so much about my seat.”
“No, no. You’re my boss.”
In the old days, I used to teach about the upper seat.
I try to be careful on the part of the person doing it, but honestly I think either is fine for the person being done to it.
But since Takanashi had given me the upper hand, I decided to sit by the window.
“How long is it from here?”
“About two hours.”
Takanashi told me.
Two hours is plenty of time
We opened our box lunches and ate them leisurely.
“By the way, Muramatsu-san is married, isn’t he?”
Takanashi asked me while digging into her grilled salmon.
I guess Keita must have told her.
They are surprisingly close
“Yeah, I got married recently.”
“That’s nice~…I might be jealous that you got married at 25 …….”
“Haha, …… I’m surprised myself.”
I’ve never even had a girlfriend before.
I’m sure if I told myself a few months ago that I could suddenly get married, I wouldn’t have believed me.
“What kind of person is she? Please show me pictures~”
I wonder what it is like to show someone’s picture to others without permission.
But come to think of it, since Miyu is going on a company trip, it shouldn’t be so bad to know her face.
I am sure she will allow me to show only one photo that is allowed to be on the standby screen.
I opened my phone and took a look at the screen.
When I opened my phone, I showed Takanashi the standby screen.
The photo I had set up was a two-shot of me and Miyu with our faces close together.
It is one of my favorite pictures.
“……eh? Is she a rental girlfriend or something? This person.”
“You’re being so rude out of the blue!?”
Takanashi looked at me with a look of disbelief.
It’s sad that I can’t really blame her, since I might feel the same way if I were a third party.
“But she’s certainly too good a wife for me.”
“She’s really a beautiful woman,…… and you don’t see people like her very often,…….”
I think Takanashi is a different vector from Miyu, but I think she’s classified as a beauty enough.
Well, I’m all about Miyu, so it doesn’t matter how beautiful other people are!
“Does she has some kind of weakness?”
“Haa…… that can’t be true. We’ve known each other since childhood.”
The moment I said that, Takanashi’s eyes lit up with a twinkle.
Its eyes looked like a carnivorous beast that had found its prey.
“You’re married to a childhood friend?!”
”O-ou …… that’s right.”
“That’s too romantic! Tell us more about that story!”
Something apparently tugged at Takanashi’s heartstrings.
I felt a little pressured by the force.
And then I explained the story of how I came to marry Miyu in a rather perfunctory manner.
It would have been embarrassing for me to explain everything.
“That’s so nice. ……! I want to be in love like that too. ……!”
The maiden Takanashi was born.
I don’t think a normal Takanashi would have any trouble finding a partner.
Well, if she thinks she can’t have a good encounter, I guess that’s the end of the story.
“I’d like to talk to your wife. ……!”
“No. I’m not sure if my wife would like that.”
“How about after work?”
“No. I don’t want to make my wife uncomfortable, and I’ll have less time to talk to her on the phone. She said she’s coming on the company trip, so let me make sure I introduce her there.”
When I said that much, Takanashi backed off immediately, as if she was half joking.
It’s not right for Takanashi and I to be in a call with Miyu.
I would have felt uneasy too if I saw Miyu on the phone with a guy I don’t know.
“I’m glad you guys are so in love.”
“Shut up.”
“Mouu…you really love your wife. Even in the standby screen, she gives off a sweet atmosphere.”
Takanashi says with a grin.
But I couldn’t deny it, and I was too embarrassed to admit it, so I ignored those words and looked out the window.
Haaa……I want to meet Miyu……
