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!
How did this happen ……
I came to a pub with Miyu’s dad, Hidetoshi san, right now.
He wants to talk to me alone. ……
Frankly, I’m too scared ……!
“Hang on there. I’ll buy you a drink today, so you can drink as much as you want.”
“Are you sure? I’ll pay for it.”
“You’ll have to be quiet and let me buy you a drink today.”
“I understand. Thank you very much.”
It is impolite to refuse too much.
I took the recommended seat and expressed my gratitude.
Although I had already been approved for marriage, my back naturally straightened up.
Soon after, I called the waiter and Hidetoshi san started to order.
“I order sake. Takuya kun?”
“I’ll have a sake, too, please.”
“Okay. Two draft beers, right?”
The waiter took the order and disappeared toward the kitchen.
After a few moments of silence, Hidetoshi san suddenly opened his mouth.
“Miyu. Miyu has changed since she met you.”
I silently listened to Hidetoshi san’s story.
“She was originally a shy girl who liked to play by herself, but one day on the way home from the park, she came smiling and told me she had made a friend.”
“That’s ……”
“Takuya kun, it’s you.”
So it was. ……
I still remember my first meeting with Miyu.
When she was four years old, I found Miyu playing alone in the sandbox and I approached her.
It’s true that she didn’t talk much at first, but just before we left, she started laughing a lot.
From that day on, we often played at the park and went to each other’s houses.
“I often heard from Miki too. She said he was a kind-hearted boy who cared for Miyu.”
“……I’m humbled”
“No need to be modest. I saw it with my own eyes today, and I know I can trust you with Miyu.”
“Hidetoshi san, ……”
Did he look at me like that?
I’m glad to hear the evaluation directly from Hidetoshi san’s mouth.
I was happy, and Hidetoshi san suddenly bowed his head.
“I’m sorry. I was so petty and mean that I didn’t approve of your marriage.”
“Ah, please raise your head! I’ve already had my marriage approved, and I don’t care about it anymore!”
“I’m glad you said that. I’m really sorry.”
Hidetoshi-san finally raised his head.
Just as I was relieved, the drinks were brought in.
“I’ve said all I have to say, so let’s drink to our heart’s content. Today is a celebration.”
“Thank you very much. Itadakimasu”
We toast together and start drinking beer.
Today’s sake tastes much better than usual.
After a few drinks, Hidetoshi san, who seemed to be starting to get a little drunk, asked me a question.
“Takuya kun, what do you like about Miyu?”
“I see. There are many things like being kind and having a cute expression, but in the end it’s all about her.”
I’m starting to get quite drunk too.
His feelings for Miyu come out easily.
“That’s right! That’s right! Miyu is my proud daughter!
“It’s true! Why is Miyu such an angel!”
“You know exactly what I’m talking about, Takuya kun!”
“Because I’m her fiancé!”
Here were born two drunken idiots.
Takuya was loudly appealing to Miyu’s charms, and Hidetoshi to Miki’s and Miyu’s charms, and the love match went on for a while.
◇◆◇
“Takuya! Get up! Mouu……!”
“Ummm …… Miyu ……?”
For some reason, I see Miyu’s face in front of me.
I was supposed to be having a drink with Hidetoshi san at an izakaya, so I couldn’t have been here.
So, this must be a dream.
It’s a happy dream to see Miyu’s face. ……
“Hey! Wake up!”
That’s when my consciousness fully awakened.
My head was heavy from drinking, but when I opened my eyes firmly, I saw Miyu peeking at me with a worried look on her face.
I looked around and saw that the place was still a pub.
“Huh? Why is Miyu here ……?”
“My father told me to come pick you im up at this time in advance. He said he would drink with Takuya until he was wasted.”
Was that so? ……
It is true that Miki san is knocking Hidetoshi san awake on the side.
It seems that she is getting angry at me for drinking too much.
“Mouu…… you can’t drink until you’re really drunk,……!”
“Sorry. I was so happy to get married that I drank too much.”
“You shouldn’t drink so much, it’s bad for your health, okay?”
She gently reminded me as if she was soothing a child.
Nodding silently, I couldn’t argue with her.
Hidetoshi was paying the bill beside me, while Miki was getting angry with me.
“Father is paying for it, so let’s get out of here. I’ll drive you to Takuya’s house.”
“I’m sorry to go to all this trouble.”
“It’s okay. From now on, we’re going to help each other out and live together, so it’s a win-win situation.”
“…… I see. I’m going to do my best to help Miyu.”
I made up my mind as I walked to the Oishi family’s car, which was parked in the parking lot outside.
Miyu responded to my decision with a smile.
Later, when it was discovered that we were having a love battle at a bar, I was struck by Miyu, and Hidetoshi san was struck by Miki san, but that’s another story.
