Episode 3 – Please marry me

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!

“I-If you want to get married, it has to be with me! If you want to do marriage hunting, it can be with me! I won’t give up the position of Takuya’s wife to anyone for sure!”

For a moment I had no idea what was being said.

It didn’t take me long to realize that it was a proposal from Miyu.

“……..EEeeeeehhhh!!?”

“Y-You don’t have to be so surprised …….”

“No, no, …… I should be surprised.”

On the contrary, there is nothing to be not surprised about.

Because just when I thought I had reunited with my estranged childhood friend, she suddenly proposed to me, right?

It can’t be helped that I scream.

This is a normal reaction.

“Takuya doesn’t want to marry me?”

“No, no! That’s not the point!”

Even if she looked up at me with her eyes so bright, I would still say, “Yes, let’s get married! Let’s get married!” But I can’t say

I mean, why did we have to have this conversation?

“If you don’t mind, please marry me …… and I’ll become the kind of girl Takuya likes ……!”

“That’s not what I’m talking about,…… so why did you decide to marry me in the first place?”

Miyu could have gotten married as much as she wanted.

It is sad to say that there is no reason for me to ask her to marry me, as I’m not popular.

When I asked the question, Miyu’s face turned even redder than when she proposed.

Hey …… I didn’t expect that reaction ……!

“Because I like Takuya so much,…… from the time I was little until now.”

Noooooo!

I scream and faint in agony in my heart when my childhood friend, who was my first love, confesses her love to me.

I can tell my face is getting hotter and redder.

After all, this is the first time I’ve heard a confession from a girl, so there’s no way I can handle it.

“I see….”

That’s all I can say about the unexpected ending.

This is the kind of girl that you liked, but were too precious to confess to.

I can’t believe the situation now that Miyu is confessing her love to me.

“Is it a no-……?”

Miyu clearly looks disappointed.

But I thought it was a good talk.

Miyu has been with me for a long time now, and we get along well and are comfortable.

That’s the most important thing in a marriage that will last for decades to come.

So there is no reason for me to refuse.

And although I have no proof, I feel that I can build a happy family with Miyu.

“Okay.”

“Then ……!”

Miyu’s face lights up.

When I looked at that cute smile that looked like a flower had bloomed, I felt as if the love I had kept in my heart since I was young had returned.

I was so nervous that I couldn’t compare it to a job interview, but I didn’t lose sight of what I needed to do.

I gently hold Miyu’s hand.

“Oishi Miyu-san. Please marry me ……!”

“……!!! yes…..! please take care of me……!”

Miyu accepted my proposal with tears and a happy smile.

Even though I knew the answer, I was relieved.

I’m glad it worked out……

After all, even in a genderless world, men still long for cool proposals. (according to my research)

“I’m glad…… I was worried for so long about what I would do if Takuya rejected me…….”

Miyu cries tears of relief as she is released from her nervousness.

I wiped her tears with a handkerchief and stayed by her side until she calmed down…

◇◆◇

We left the restaurant just as Miyu stopped crying.

The sun was already starting to set, so we gave up on discussing future plans or a date for today and agreed to meet some other time.

“I’m sorry. I had to ask you to take me home.”

“That’s okay. Miyu is very important to me.”

“Ah, …….”

Miyu is my fiancée and has always been like family to me.

Even though it’s still dusk, I don’t have anything to do, so there’s no need to waste time sending it.

In the first place, my house and Miyu’s house are neighbors, about 5 minutes walk from each other, so it doesn’t take much effort.

“Today was like a dream because I was able to meet Takuya for the first time in a while, and I was able to express my feelings to him.”

“Ahaha! I also very happy that Miyu accepted the proposal.”

“That’s my line. I’m so thankful that you accepted me. Takuya.”

Before I knew it, we were at Miyu’s house in no time.

Miyu looks a little sad and thanks me, as if she regrets parting.

I was certainly not happy to part ways with her so easily today.

“Hey, Miyu. Can I hug you?”

“……Yes. okay.”

After receiving permission, I gently hugged Miyu and Miyu hugged me back.

Her body was delicate and soft, and had a fragility that seemed like it would break, but it made me feel warm.

……I don’t want to let go of this warmth.

I will definitely cherish Miyu and make her happy. ……

“Well then, I’d better be on my way.”

“Yeah,……, thanks for the escort.”

“It’s okay. I wanted to take you home.”

The moment I turned around to say goodbye and go home, I felt a tug on my shoulder and brought Miyu’s mouth close to my ear.

“I love you,…… Takuya ♡.”

I was so excited that I turned around and Miyu was running into the house.

I couldn’t help but stand there, unable to get Miyu’s sweet whispers out of my head.

(Ah…… I love Miyu already ……)
