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!
“The curry was good, wasn’t it?”
“Yeah, it was. If we get another chance, let’s go to the one near our house.”
It’s a national chain.
I think there’s one near our house, too.
I’ve never been to one before, so this time it was a good discovery once again that curry is very tasty.
“So we still have the rest of the afternoon left, where do you want to go?”
“Your face feels like you have a list of candidates, doesn’t it? I want to go to the place Takuya thought of.”
“Did you know …… that much about my face?”
“No, I just vaguely recognised it.”
Seriously ……
Is it something that can be understood somehow?
It means that I can’t hide anything from Miyu.
I don’t have anything to hide, though…
“Then let’s go to the place I was thinking about.”
“Yeah! Please drive me.”
I drive to my destination.
According to the information I checked beforehand, it should be not far away. ……
Oh! I can see it now.
I find a space in the crowded car park and pull in.
“Is this the …… zoo?”
“Yes, I heard it’s famous, so I thought I’d come.”
I had no idea, by the way.
Don’t you know about zoos unless they’re on the news or in your local area?
I like animals, but when it comes to checking out zoos, I’m not sure.
I bought two tickets and entered immediately.
It was already a holiday afternoon, so there were quite a few people there.
“When I smell this smell, it feels like a zoo, doesn’t it?”
“Yes, it does. I haven’t been to the zoo since I went on a field trip in primary school. I’m quite looking forward to it.”
Miyu is a big animal lover and loves fluffy things.
My favorite animals are familiar ones such as dogs and cats, so I’d like to go to a cat cafe with her someday.
It’s a bit difficult to keep them, though.
“Where would you like to start?”
“Hmm, there are so many different animals, it’s hard to decide. ……”
We stand in front of the map and think.
We want to see animals that can only be seen in a zoo, but we can’t give up on the fluffy ones.
Hence, we are attracted to the name of the hamster, an animal that is probably bought by someone in the neighbourhood.
But why come all the way to the zoo to see a hamster?
I’d like to try feeding the giraffe though….
And while I was lost, I found the name of a supreme being on the map.
T-This one is ……!
It’s the perfect thing for the situation we’re in right now, with a low ratio of animals in captivity and a fluffy, feeding experience!
“Have you decided? Takuya.”
“Ou. Let’s say it now.”
“Okay. Have you chosen the same one, ……?”
“I don’t know. Okay, here we go. Ready, ……?”
“Alpaca!” “Hamster!”
…… didn’t engage brilliantly.
It was a hamster…….
Even though after a crazy struggle I picked an alpaca. ……
“Fufu, didn’t mesh.”
“You know how it is sometimes.”
“Yeah, I guess so. Let’s go both ways then.”
“Agreed. Let’s start with the hamsters because they’re closer.”
We walked hand in hand to the corner with the hamsters and other small animals.
There were many children, but not a few adults too.
Because they’re so cute.
“Look, Takuya ……! There are lots of them ……!”
And my wife, the cutest girl in the place.
The most beautiful wife in the place, her eyes sparkling with excitement, tugging lightly at my hem.
I’d rather watch the frolicking Miyu than the hamster any longer.
The hamsters are put inside a large partition and it is forbidden to pick them up, but they seem to be free to touch them.
Miyu gently reaches out her hand and begins to stroke the hamster.
“Fluffy …… cute ……”
I touch a nearby hamster anyway.
A few minutes ago, I was saying that Miyu’s was better, but I still want to touch the things I want to touch.
It’s fluffy, warm and the best.
“Ah, that’s right. Shall I take a picture?”
“Eh? Is that okay? But maybe Takuya wants to touch it too. ……”
“I won’t take pictures all the time, and after I’ve taken some I’ll touch them again.”
“…… then I’ll ask you to do it for me.”
“Okay. I’m taking pictures without notice, so feel free to touch”
I turn on my smartphone and open the camera.
I don’t want to miss out on capturing the cutest moments.
I took a series of photos with my camera for about 20 minutes and left the hamster square with a relieved look on my face.
“You ended up taking pictures the whole time, you didn’t have to touch it?”
“No problem at all, I got a lot of national treasure photos.”
“T-That much ……?”
“Yeah. I’m going to make it a family heirloom, build a shrine in my room, frame it and hang it up.”
“If it’s so pretty, I’d like it in our bedroom. Also, I want you to send me the photo data.”
“Okay. I’ll send it to you later.”
Then we went to the alpaca park to feed the alpacas and play with them.
My appreciation of alpacas has risen.
We went around the zoo as much as we could and had as much fun as we could.
And then…
“That was a lot of fun. I’m a little sad that today is over.”
Miyu mutters in the car on the way home.
I agree with her.
After all, the fun time goes by so fast.
“We’ll come back. We’ll always be together from now on.”
“…… Yeah. You’re right. Let’s go again sometime.”
Then we went home.
When I showed the photos to Miyu later, she lectured me because they showed only Miyu’s cute face and not so much of the hamster.
I only took the cutest one though. ……
I don’t get it.
I put a picture of Miyu looking at the hamster in a frame and hung it in my bedroom, but when I came home from work, it had been taken down.
Needless to say, I got another sermon from Miyu.
