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!
“L-let’s get going then.”
“Yeah. I think so.”
After Miyu finishes unpacking, we take a break and I ask her out on a date and do some necessary shopping.
Since we had already promised, Miyu readily agreed.
We get in the car and head to a nearby home center.
“Are you picky about interior design, Miyu?”
“Well, I’m more interested in functionality than looks. Takuya is the one who will pay for it, so I’ll leave it to him.”
I had told Miyu in advance that I would be responsible for all the shopping for today.
Although she refrained, it took me about 30 minutes to convince her that I was the one who said she didn’t have to bring the furniture.
That was a heated debate showdown. ……
“Don’t worry about the money. Let’s pick the best one for our comfortable life.””
I had saved up a lot of money because I didn’t have to pay rent and I didn’t have any hobbies.
Let’s put all of my money into a life with Miyu.
Miyu realized that there was no use in being reserved with me today, so she looked up various types of furniture on her smartphone and told me about them.
We had a great time discussing each other’s requests and arrived at our destination in no time.
◇◆◇
“Smells great. ……!”
“Yeah! Looks good ……!”
We had come to a certain udon noodle chain instead of the home center ……
After all that talk about furniture, we ended up being hungry and decided to have lunch first.
I ordered the meat udon, and Miyu ordered the kake udon.
“”Itadakimasu.””
We clasped hands and slurped our noodles.
The fat from the meat and the broth from the udon are deliciously mixed with the noodles.
Miyu seemed to like udon and kept eating it without saying a word.
“You didn’t used to like udon that much, did you? When did you start liking them?”
I felt terrible for Miyu, who was eating them like crazy, but since we were on a date, I decided to talk to her.
If her tastes have changed since the old days, I’d like to know.
“It’s a fairly recent thing. I was up late at night working on an illustration and when I needed something light to eat, I eat udon a lot. Then one day I suddenly found myself attracted to it.”
“I see. So there was a reason for that.”
It was a better reason than I had expected.
The reason for this is that I thought it was just a vague reason that she liked it somehow.
Then Miyu talked happily about Udon.
Miyu seemed to be into udon and knew a lot about it.
I had a great time watching her talk about it.
I couldn’t get the names of the various udon noodles out of my head. ……
◇◆◇
“It was delicious~”
“Yeah. I’m sorry about that. Things got a little too heated. ……”
Miyu apologized in an embarrassed manner.
It may be hard to believe, but Miyu is still a cool character outside.
I’m really happy to see the rich expressions on her face that only her family and close friends can see.
“I really enjoyed talking about Miyu. I’d like to hear more if you want.”
“Y-yeah…… okay.”
Miyu nodded her head.
It’s true that I’ve become interested in udon, and if I can have a conversation with Miyu, I’ll kill two birds with one stone.
It would be fun to go on a trip to visit famous udon noodles someday.
“Oh, look ……, Takuya.”
“Hmm? What’s wrong?”
The one that Miyu pointed to was a certain brand of jewelry store.
The store was lined with beautiful rings.
I knew what Miyu was trying to say.
“Let’s make our wedding rings sometime.”
“……Yeah! I’m looking forward to our wedding rings. ……”
Miyu looked at the rings with an enraptured look on her face.
She’s a woman, so I guess that’s what she admire.
I want to buy a ring that Miyu will be most happy with.
“What do you like Miyu?”
“Me? I’m happy with anything Takuya and I wear together.”
“Don’t you have a particular brand in mind?”
I think it’s often written in articles on the Internet that women are attracted to brand-name products.
However, the look on Miyu’s face suggests that she really means it.
“No, I don’t. I don’t care about price, brand, or anything else. Takuya wears my wedding ring is the only thing that makes it uniquely valuable to me.”
“Miyu ……”
I am captivated by that gentle smile.
At the same time, love accelerates in my heart.
I couldn’t help but hug Miyu on the spot.
“T-Takuya!? We’re outside!”
“Ah…..I’m sorry.”
Miyu’s protests cause me to maturely let go.
Miyu’s face turns bright red as the people around her seem to have been watching us and looking at us smiling.
I’m sure my face is turning red as well.
“I’m really sorry. ……”
Miyu’s face is bright red and she brings her mouth close to my ear.
“Well, I’m embarrassed, but I don’t mind ……… if we continue at home. ……?”
You don’t mind if we continue ……………?!
How far did you mean by “continue”?!
I didn’t have the guts to ask and continued to hold agonizing thoughts.
