I Went Back in Time to 10 Years Ago and Saved My Young Lady Childhood Friend and She Became My Fiancee ~She’s Honest and Cool and Looks at Me Like She Wants to Be Cared For~
“—F-Fiancee! What do you mean?!”
I exclaimed at the word that Mihato-san told me.
Is she joking? No, she is not the kind of person who would say such a thing.
“Enami-san. I’m serious.”
Mihato-san nodded and said
“For better or worse, but now that the young lady has more time on her hands, it’s getting harder for her to turn down offers of marriage. Until now, the master used to turn them down because of her studies and lessons, but now he doesn’t.’”
“Oh I see. ……”
Now that the studies and lessons that used to constrain Yorumiya are gone, there is no reason for him to refuse. It seems that it was useful in that one respect of refusing unnecessary marriage proposals. Of course, I don’t intend to affirm it.
“I hope that Enami-san will be her fiancee.”
“W-Wait a minute.”
“Yes?”
I think we’re getting off topic.
First of all, the other party should not be me.
“W-Why me? I’m from a normal family. Are you okay with that?”
“Yes. Enami-san’s mother and the young lady’s mother used to be good friends. Did you know that?”
“Eh?”
“Huh….Don’t you know that ……?”
I don’t know it.
Even recently, when I was playing with Yorumiya at home when I was in elementary school, Mom didn’t say anything about that.
I turned to look at her, thinking, “No way, Yorumiya?”
“I knew. Mihato had told me.”
“The young lady’s mother had told her to rely on Enami-san’s mother when she was in trouble. That’s why the young lady chose to live near here when she moved out.”
Was that so? I time leap and learn a new fact.
I wonder why …… my mom didn’t tell me.
I almost think about it, but I think it was probably for a light reason, like ‘I thought it was okay since you got along with without telling’. She’s a rather random person.
“……Well, that’s okay. I’ll ask my mother next time.”
“Yes. Then you don’t know that …… the two of them talked in the past about how it would be nice if they could marry each other’s children, do you?”
“No, I don’t. Is it…… possibly because of that?”
Isn’t that just a verbal promise?
“That’s all, but it was a promise between parents. And it is convenient because it is a promise made at a very young age in terms of time. It may not be as legally valid, but as a house of …… Yorumiya, it has a certain validity.”
I see. Maybe it is like the tradition of a great family.
“So it’s a legitimate reason to say–if Enami-san accepts.”
I think about it, and Mihato-san hesitantly adds an explanation.
“…… But, of course, there is a disadvantage for Enami-san.”
“Disadvantage?”
“Yes, there are. First of all, some people will look at you that way. The people who will inform you are basically outsiders, so you don’t have to spend time at the school, especially as a fiancee. However, there may be people from some houses who get involved.”
“…… I see.”
“The other thing is that Enami-san’s freedom of romance will be almost nonexistent. If Enami-san tried to have a relationship with someone, you would be disqualified as a permitted fiancee.”
At the timing of this story, Yorumiya twitches.
I can’t fall in love …… I see.
Mihato-san continues, looking as if she is having trouble saying it.
“If you break it, young lady will be blamed…. so we must ask you to avoid any romantic relationships with other people.”
“……Oh, I wouldn’t mind that much.”
When I said it quickly, both of them looked surprised.
But my concern was something else.
The most important thing.
“What is your opinion on this…… Yorumiya?”
“I thought that Shuu-kun would be good for me.”
Yorumiya answered immediately and took my hand.
“If it’s a fiancee, or a marriage proposal,……, I can’t think of anyone else but Shuu-kun.”
Straight line of sight.
The straightness of the look puzzled me.
“Shuu-kun. If …… you have even the slightest concern, you can refuse. This is not something that would be of much benefit to Shuu-kun.
Yorumiya slightly lowered her eyes and removed her hand.
Looking at the hand with the fingertips separated, I think.
I thought earlier that I wish I could make Yorumiya happy. This might be the opportunity to do so.
“—I understand.”
If Yorumiya can avoid unwanted marriages with just one title, there is nothing wrong with that.
“I’ll be your fiancee”.
I nodded so clearly.
“Thank you very much. Enami-san.”
“…..Shuu-kun, from now on, I will be counting on you”
Mihato-san looked relieved, and Yorumiya’s face broke into a smile.
I nodded slowly with a face that was probably stiff with nervousness.
I had only one thought.
(I wonder what a fiancee-to-be does.)
Anyway, this is how I became Yoramiya’s fiancee.
