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!
The company’s regular hours are up and I’m stretching.
I came back from a business trip and went straight to work.
I am aware that I was a little nervous during work because I honestly wanted to see Miyu as soon as possible.
I didn’t make any mistakes, but it might have seemed strange.
I left the office and jumped on the train without even saying goodbye.
The train ride home, which I hadn’t taken in a few days, was a little nostalgic and made my heart dance.
I have souvenirs in my bag and I’m ready to meet Miyu.
I saw the house and the lights were on, and my steps became even lighter.
I unlocked the door, grabbed the handle and opened the door.
“I’m home”
I called out as usual and put my bag on the doorstep.
Then, Miyu came running from the back.
“I’m ho-… ahwah!?”
Miyu jumped into my chest as it was.
I managed to catch Miyu so that her body position did not collapse.
“Welcome back……”
Miyu says this while burying her face in my chest.
Her hands were tied tightly behind my back, and I could feel her strong will to never let go.
I smile a little bitterly and place my hand on Miyu’s head.
“I’m home. I’m sorry I made you wait.”
“No, you came back safely and it’s work, so it’s fine. But… I still felt lonely without Takuya…”
When I hear it again, I feel a little embarrassed and also a little happy.
I couldn’t help but feel so cute that my wife needed me.
“I missed Miyu too. I was so excited at work today that my colleagues became a little suspicious of me.”
“Fufu.. …… what’s that?”
Although it wasn’t said out loud, it was probably considered strange.
Even if I expose myself to shame, if Miyu can laugh at me, it’s worth the price.
“Dinner is ready. Would you like to eat it with me while it’s still warm?”
“Okay. I’m hungry and it’s the first time I’ve had dinner with Miyu in a few days, so I’m looking forward to it.”
“Fufu, Today is Takuya’s favourite food.”
“Oh! Isn’t that double the fun?”
We laughed and headed to the kitchen, working together to arrange the plates on the dining table.
It’s true that these are all my favorite foods, and just looking at them makes me hungry.
“Fufu, shall we eat then?”
“Yeah.”
““Itadakimasu”:
I took a bite of the meat and potatoes first.
The potatoes and other ingredients are well seasoned and the rice goes down a treat.
The food over there was delicious, but for me, Miyu’s cooking is the best.
I feel relieved and my heart feels warm.
“Ah, that’s right. I bought a lot of souvenirs.”
“Thank you. I’m a bit curious what kind of things Takuya picked out for me.”
“Leave it to me. This time, I put a lot of thought into it and bought something that I’m sure Miyu will be happy with.”
“You raise the bar a lot. Fufu, I understand. I’m looking forward to it.”
Miyu smiled kindly at me.
I thoroughly enjoyed Miyu’s cooking for the first time in a few days, and finished by refilling it.
For a while, we enjoyed chatting about what had happened on the business trip and what Miyu was doing at home.
When I was feeling a little hungry, Miyu told me she was going to make me some tea, so I took a souvenir out of my bag and brought it to her.
“Here, I’ve made a pot of tea. Wait, you bought a lot of things …….”
“Ah, haha …… I thought Miyu would be happy with it, so I bought it …….”
“Mouu……! You say things like that so casually……”
Miyu’s words were unsatisfactory, but her mouth was a little grinning and she was not satisfied.
But it’s from this point on that I can make her happy.
That’s why I asked Takanashi to help me.
“First of all, I think I’ll start with this. I did my homework and bought the Uiro that I thought Miyu would like.”
I lightly push out the large Uiro box, which is quite full inside.
Miyu picked up the box, looked at it briefly, and then nodded in agreement.
“Japanese sweets are really good after all…I wanted to try authentic Uiro once, so I’m really happy.”
Apparently, she was pleased.
In addition to Ogura bean paste and Japanese sweets, I had also bought the famous Uiro mochi, so I kept showing them to Miyu.
And then I realised that I had made a painful mistake here.
“Ah, ……!”
“Hmm? What’s wrong?”
“I bought some tea, but I forgot to give it to Miyu. …… I wanted her to drink it because it was worth the trouble, though …….”
Saying that, I show Miyu the tea leaves while slumping my shoulders.
I should have noticed this when Miyu was about to go make some tea, but I completely failed.
“Wow! Those tea leaves look so delicious. …… I’ll start brewing it tomorrow. I won’t be able to eat all these sweets today anyway, so I’ll serve them together.’
“Thanks …….”
After that, we leisurely snacked on sweets and went back to chatting.
It was too early to say that it had been a long time, but for the two of us, it was a calm and relaxing time that was more important than anything else.
