After I Saved Kirigiri San, a Cool, Sharp-tongued Gyaru, From a Pick-up, She Started Coming Into My House the Next Day
“You are visiting Kirigiri Mika, right? Please come this way.”
The next day–Misuzu and I took the day off from our morning classes and headed for Mika san to report yesterday’s incident.
Of course, we had already called the school in advance to inform them that we would be absent due to illness. By now, the school is probably talking about Misuzu, who has been absent for two days in a row.
I also called Haga because I thought he might be worried about me,, but since I owe him a debt of gratitude for all the encouragement he gave me yesterday, I decided to show my face in the afternoon.
“Mom !”
“Misuzu !”
When I opened the door of the hospital room, Mika san shifted her gaze toward me. Then, Misuzu rushed to her mother with tears in her eyes.
“Oh, I’m so glad. Misuzu……are you hurt anywhere?”
“I’m fine……Mom, I’m sorry. For worrying you……”
“Oh my, you cry like a baby, there there.”
Mika san gently wraps her arms around Misuzu, as if comforting a small child.
“Kinoshita kun, I’m glad I asked you. I can’t express my gratitude to you.”
Perhaps realizing the relieved look on Misuzu’s face, Mika san said with a gentle smile.
“No, I just did what I could do.”
Seeing Misuzu and Mika san’s friendly scene, I thought that what I had done was not in vain.
I told Mika san in detail about yesterday’s events.
“I see……such a thing happened……”
After I told her the facts, Mika san stared out of the window as if thinking something.
The recording of Misuzu and Fumio’s conversation will be used as evidence to corner him. But what does it feel like to corner someone you once loved? I’m sure deep in Mika san’s heart, there must be a lot of complicated emotions.
“But I’m so glad that neither of you were hurt.”
Mika san, perhaps having come to terms with her feelings, gave me a gentle smile that seemed to envelop me.
Even though I have a cute girlfriend named Misuzu, I was captivated by Mika san’s angelic gaze.
“Ufufu, here.”
“Hm?”
Mika san beckoned to me.
I wondered what she meant by that…… I tilted my head, not understanding the meaning of Mika san’s behavior.
“Come on, Kinoshita kun, here. I’ll pamper you.”.
“Eh ! Pamper !? I-I’m a stranger, so I have to refrain !”
I’d like to be pampered a little…..no, but there’s no way I could do that in front of my girlfriend……
I could be killed here and now before I get stabbed by a male classmate.
“Oh my, you were looking at me like you wanted something just now.”
“I-I didn’t ! What are you saying !”
“Oh, am I wrong?”
“Stare———“
Misuzu looks at me with cold eyes.
“Gee, Mom, don’t tease Yuuma.”
“Okay, okay. Misuzu is easy to get get jealous, so I won’t do it.”
“I’m not !”
“Ufufu.”
The two are full of smiles. This is how a real family should be.
“By the way, I’m so happy that Misuzu has a boyfriend.”
Mika san suddenly asked with a serious expression on her face.
We looked at each other, then looked away to cover it up.
“W-what are you talking about? Right, Yuuma.”
“Oh, yeah……ahaha.”
We officially started going out yesterday.
However, I felt it would be too embarrassing to go and tell Mika san about it, and it seemed like the timing was too early, so we decided to keep our relationship a secret for a while…
“You two look flustered. I thought you were acting a bit awkward, unlike usual. Plus, you’re calling each other by first names !”
Mika san put her hand on her cheek.
It seems that she knows everything. I thought there was no point in trying to hide it from her, so I decided to tell her everything.
“A-actually, I confessed to your daughter.”
“Hey ! Yuuma !”
“Ufufu, you did, huh～I’m jealous～.”
Mika san then blushed, perhaps because she had felt her heart flutter for the first time in a long time.
“Ah ! That’s right ! What did you say when you confessed to her, Kinoshita kun? Think of me as Misuzu and say it to me once !”
“That’s impossible !”
“Eh～Why?”
As expected, there is no way I can do that to her mother.
Well, Mika san is going to be single from now on, so there is no problem….. I mean, what am I seriously thinking…..?
“Gee, Mom ! Stop saying weird things 1 Yuuma is in trouble !”
Misuzu, who was watching, interrupted.
“I’m just kidding. I’m not such a bad woman that I’m jealous of my daughter’s boyfriend.”
“It’s good that you’re feeling better, but don’t get too worked up.”
Misuzu muttered in an exasperated tone.
“But, I can trust Kinoshita kun to take care of Misuzu ! I know she’s not an honest girl, but please be good to her.”
“Oh, yes, it’s my pleasure……”
“Enough, Mom !”
Mika san never stops.
When it comes to the topic of love, women are probably the only creatures that can’t control their curiosity.
“From now on, the two of you will nurture your love～. I’m starting to feel excited.”
Mika muttered with a blush on her cheeks.
I felt like I was overreacting, but I was afraid that she would ask me a lot of questions if we kept on talking about it, so I decided to change the subject.
“More importantly, I heard that you will be discharged from the hospital soon, then you and Misuzu are going to live together, right?
I asked a question that had been bothering me for a long time.
In fact, Misuzu is an important only daughter for Mika san, who had been hospitalized for three years. Even though she came to visit her frequently, they were only together for a short period of time. Once she is discharged from the hospital, the two of them will probably nurture many memories together.
“What are you talking about? Misuzu and Kinoshita kun will continue to live together, right?”
[ [Eh?] ]
Misuzu and I spoke at the same time.
From Misuzu’s reaction, it seemed that she had not been informed of this either.
“If I caused a crack in your relationship when you two had just started dating, there would be no way for you to get back together ! Listen, Misuzu ! Stay with Kinoshita kun ! I’ll support you as much as you’ve supported me !”
“Eh ! That’s a bit sudden ! I thought I was supposed to live with you, Mom ! I mean, support you said…….!?”
Misuzu responded to the word “support” with a blush on her cheeks and her hands flapping and shaking.
Living with Misuzu would be a dream come true for me, but I wonder if it would be okay to leave her mother alone when she’s just been released from hospital.
“Mika san, are you sure you’re okay? I mean……you just got out of the hospital, so aren’t you worried about a lot of things? You know like…… your job and so on…..”
“That was actually my intention. You see, when I see Misuzu’s smile. I can’t take away her happiness with my selfishness. If I do that, I’ll end up like that person.”
The most important thing to remember is that you should not deprive Misuzu of her happiness because of my selfishness. Then I’ll end up with that person.”
Mika san stares out the window again with a depressed look on her face.
“I see……”
“Come visit me sometime. I will entertain you a lot.”
Then Mika san’s gentle smile returned.
“Yes !”
“And if you ever want to get married, you can always ask me ! Well, if it’s Kinoshita-kun, I’ll give it a green light♪”
Mika san suddenly whispered in my ear.
I suddenly felt embarrassed and my cheeks turned red. I didn’t know what to say in such a situation, so I decided to nod my head.
Mika san saw this and smiled.
“So, did you two do it at night?”
“W-w-what ! Of course we’re not doing it !”
Misuzu’s voice echoed outside the hospital.
We left the hospital room as if we were running away, thinking that if we stayed here any longer we would only dig our grave deeper.
A few weeks after Mika san’s visit to the hospital, Kirigiri Fumio was arrested for domestic violence based on the testimony of Mika san and Misuzu, in addition to the physical evidence I had recorded.
Then they also found evidence that he had embezzled money from the company, and it seems that his evil deeds came out like dust in the course of the investigation.
To top it all off, the woman he was going to remarry ran away from him, and Fumio’s life hit rock bottom.
