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!
“Damn …… I didn’t think Miyu had taken my video ……”
“I know Takuya sleepwalks every time he wakes up.”
Miyu says that and shows a cute smug look on her face.
Well, Miyu wakes me up every morning, so she understands more about how I wake up than I do.
It was a battle that could not be won from the beginning.
“Takuya is cute. ……”
Miyu plays the video as much as she can.
As long as Miyu has the video, I won’t say anything, but please refrain from showing it to anyone or me.
I started playing that video as a warning.
[Takuyaaa ……, I love you …….]
“Isn’t this one cuter than me?”
“~~!
Why do you have it! I deleted it this morning!”
“Sorry to hear that. I made a backup.”
Miyu aims the phone at me to erase the video again.
Well, I’m dodging around so it won’t be taken.
After about five minutes of attack and defence, Miyu finally gives up.
“Okay ……, I’ll erase this video too, so erase that one …….”
Miyu looks disappointed and tries to press the trash button.
But that wasn’t what I was after.
“You don’t have to erase it. I won’t delete this video either.”
“Eh!?
Delete it off, it’s embarrassing. ……”
“It’s natural for a husband to want to see his wife looking pretty, isn’t it?
If Miyu really wants me to erase it, I will.”
“I’m fine with it……”
Victory.
Thus, I was able to get the video by agreement.
I was more happy that I got Miyu’s video than that she was holding the bomb.
I unintentionally gave a small gut-punch, and Miyu was looking at me with such a stern gaze…
◇◆◇
“Hey, Takuya. Why don’t we go outside and get a bit of wind?”
“Is your body alright?”
“Mouu ……! You’re too overprotective. I’m fine.”
“Okay. Then let’s go for a little walk.”
Miyu and I adjusted our yukata and went out of the inn.
We hold hands and start walking without a destination.
The temperature is quite comfortable and the wind on my cheeks feels good.
“Takuya, this trip makes me happier than any other trip I’ve ever been on.”
The word ‘happy’ certainly seems to fit better than ‘fun’.
It’s typical to go on a honeymoon trip to a nearby hot spring.
We can relax and make time to connect with each other, as if to fill in the blank time we’ve had since graduating from high school.
“Yeah. Me too.”
“Have you ever thought about it? If we’d been together since high school
“Yes. Many times.”
We got engaged and then I found out we’d always been in love with each other.
So I don’t remember us as lovers in school.
Of course I have thought about dating in high school.
“But I don’t think I’d want to go back in time and go out with you.”
“Why?”
“Because I’m too happy now. If I wanted it any more, I’d be punished.”
Miyu laughs at my words.
Be punished? That’s what I thought, but Miyu didn’t seem particularly bothered.
“I thought the same thing. If we had gone out in high school, we might not be the couple we are now.”
It’s true that there aren’t many cases of people dating in high school and going on to get married.
We’ve just got married, so there’s no guarantee that we won’t get into trouble in the future, but we should be cooler than high school students.
“Let’s do a lot of things from now on that we couldn’t do in the past.”
“Yeah. That’s right”
There may be things that could only be done back then.
But there must be many things that we can do now, and that we can still do now.
I want to make memories as bright as my school days from now on.
“By the way, do you still have the school uniform?”
“uniform?”
“Miyu will wear her school uniform for the photo shoot.”
When I say that, Miyu looks shocked.
When you think of students, you think of uniforms.
Even if you can’t go to school anymore, you should be allowed to wear a uniform.
“Doesn’t it hurt to wear a uniform when you’re 25?”
“Don’t worry!
Miyu is young, so it won’t hurt! I’m sure she’ll look cute.”
Of course I remember Miyu in her school uniform.
But isn’t it a natural thought to want to see it again?
I’d love to take a picture and add it to my treasured collection. ……
“Eeeh~…… no, ……! “
“Do something about that! Please!”
“…… I would think about it if Takuya would wear a uniform at home.”
“I’ll wear it!
I’ll wear a uniform or whatever!”
“Then I’ll think about it. ……”
Alright!
If she said this, then it’s as good as decided already!
I’ll look up cosplay on the internet next time ……
Then I’ll buy some cosplay and go to photo shoots and in the evenings ……
My dreams are growing!
“What’s wrong with your grin?”
“No, just dazzling dreams and a bright future.”
“Y-yeah? Well then, shall we get back to it?”
Miyu thought it was better not to mention it, or she quickly switched the subject.
I wasn’t planning on answering the question, but I was planning on preparing a surprise, so it was perfect.
“Right. Let’s go home.’”
“Yeah.”
We returned to the ryokan after having burned the sunset into our eyes.
During that time, our hands never left each other…
