Chapter 57: The day Misaki comes back.
When I opened the door, the air from outside together with dazzling light came into my room.
And right outside my door is a woman and one little girl, standing.
Funnily enough, it looked just like that time when I first met Misaki.
However, many things are different from that time.
There’s no cigarette’s smell in this room anymore, no unplesant feelings that makes you want to destroy the world.
And more importantly than anything else, I love this little girl―― Misaki very much.
“……Misaki.”
“……Un.”
I kneeled down on the floor, matching my eyes’ level with Misaki.
Ahhh, she’s here. Misaki’s really here. Isn’t she a little taller than before? But her hair is a bit shorter, did she went to a salon or something? Heheh, my Misaki sure looks great on any hairstyle, this is the best. Her big eyes, round face, small hands and feets, everything about her is simply adorable! I just wanna hug her right now!
“Misakieeee—! Misaki, Welcome back Misaki…… Mieeeesakieeeeee—!”
“Un—n, hihi, fu—”
I hugged Misaki’s soft and tiny body tightly. When I rub my cheek against hers, Misaki responded with a happy voice.
“Uoooooh! I’ll never let you go anywhere again!”
“……”
“Misaki? Ah, sorry, did I hurt you?”
As I was about to let go of her in a hurry, Misaki grabbed my cloth and won’t let me go.
“……Missed you.”
――!?
“I missed you even more Misakieeee―!”
Ahhhh, I’m so happy.
My Misaki-nium deficiency will finally be solved.
――Ahem.
“Excuse me, but can we get going now?”
I looked up to the source of the voice that came from above, and there I found a figure of a woman with fed up expression. She stood tall and mighty as usual, wearing a suit without any wrinkles that looked as if it’s brand new. The only thing that has changed is that her hair is longer than before, in contrast to Misaki’s.
Nevertheless, she’s still quite a beautiful woman in her own way. Misaki’s also a beauty too, but she probably wouldn’t win against her for the next five years. If only her inside would be a beauty too I’d have already proposed her on the spot when she agreed to take Misaki into her custody. But well if I did that not only she’d coldly rejected me, she’d file a lawsuit against me even.
Well that aside, I completely forgot that she was even here in the first place.
……Yeah, she helped me a lot this time, and she even take care of Misaki. I’ll have to properly thanks her this time.
“……Five minutes please.”
But-, but just a little longer please!
Please let me be with Misaki for a bit more!
――Thud thud.
Hnn, Misaki?
What’s the matter?
“……Ten minutes.”
――!?
“Let’s make it one hour then!”
“Are you a kid or something!? I’ll finish this in just three minutes so listen to me already.” (Yui)
“Shuddap! It was so lonely not having Misaki around…… I even lost about ten kilos of my weight ya’ know!”
“Ten kilos you say…… Wait no, you can just meet her whenever you want to aren’t you.”
“That’s-, well, uhhh, there’s just a lot going on for me too you know!”
What a troublesome man.
Yui sighed.
“Enough is enough. I don’t have time anymore so let’s get this over with.”
She said, before walking pass us and entered the room.
“As always, this room doesn’t resemble a normal person’s dwelling at all.”
“Sod off.”
Immediately after entered the room she put down the luggage―― the electric piano box that she’s holding, and then went outside again immediately.
“Though it seems to be a little nicer looking than before.” (Yui)
She said in a small voice as she passes by me.
I’ve never been this happy with such a simple follow-up before.
“Very well then, though the thought of leaving my daughter to live in a place like this horrified me, but I have no choice since it was her own wish. And also, the documents required for elementary school is already in the same bag as the piano’s. The same goes for the invoice.
Wait, what was this invoice thing about.
“As for the documents that the school distributed to the parents, since there is no need for me to take a look at them, you can deal with them as you see fit. Also, since Misaki-chan’s parent is still me, you do not have any rights to participate in any events the school had for the parents. But if you really want me to reconsider this, then please bow to me.”
As always her choices of her is as bad as ever.
And also, why the hell does she look a little bit happy about that.
“Mu, is there something you’re dissatisfied with?”
Said Yui with dissatisfied look. She’s still the same esper as usual.
“I’m not particulary dissatisfied or anything. Thanks though.”
“What’s with this nonchalant feeling yours.”
“That’s not the case at all. I really do appreciate it.”
“Then at least please show it with your attitude. You saying that while patting Misaki-chan is not convincing at all.”
Well she’s right. Can’t helped it then, guess I’ll have to stand up.
“Umm, I think you should’ve let Misaki-chan go already though?”
“Don’t you hear what I just said? I have no intention to let Misaki go for the second time again.”
“You’re disgusting as expected. Misaki-chan you too please say something.”
“……Un?”
What’s the hell this guy saying, said Misaki. I completely agree with her.
Yui sighed once again and,
“Very well then, I’ll let you off this time since it’s been a while since you met each other. I’ll visit again another day, so please make sure to go through the documents I gave you.”
“Got it. I truly felt grateful to you. Thank you.”
“Yes, you should be very grateful. And make sure to pay within the deadline.”
“You meant that invoice you mentioned earlier right. Don’t worry, I’ll make sure to pay it in time.”
“Very well. Then, I’ll be heading to work now.”
Yui turned on her heel and quickly walks away.
After I can’t see her figure anymore, I called Misaki who was quietly in my arms and……
“Misaki?”
“……”
Instead of a reply, what I heard is the sound of her breathing while sleeping peacefully.
Is this for real, didn’t she just replied to me a few seconds ago?
“……Guess I’ll sleep too.”
While watching Misaki’s sleeping face, I suddenly remembered thatI hadn’t slept at all since the day before yesterday. Well ya’ see Misaki’s going to come back home soon right? There’s no way I can sleep while being that excited.
I yawned and went back inside the room.
I carefully walked to the center of the room where futons are laid as to not kicked the piano that’s placed near the door, and put Misaki to sleep. But still, I can’t just stick close to her all the time.
“……I’m troubled.”
I smiled bitterly at Misaki as she grabs onto my cloth harder than expected.
I don’t know why Misaki’s acting so spoiled with me today. I don’t think she has ever liked me as much as today, but well I’m not gonna complain so I stopped thinking about why.
Well, how do I sleep now. I suppose we can just sleep side by side normally, but I’m a bit hesitant thinking back to the day when I drank alcohol and ended up getting Misaki in bad mood.
After some hesitation, I decided to sleep with my back against the wall.
If it’s this posture then I don’t think I’m going to fall on top of Misaki.
From this position I can see the inside of the room clearly.
In the corner are clothes on top of each other, and next to that is the portable power supply I bought not long ago. I finally obtained electricity for my home. And then in the center are two futons laid next to each other.
I moved my head a little and look outside the window, and there I saw the usual large shadow. For Misaki who had been living in that condominium up until just a few minutes ago, this room must look like a really terrible place.
But even so―― ‘But I had no choice since it was her own wish’ ―― if what Yui said is true, then it seemed like Misaki wants to live here more than over there.
I break into a smile.
One year ago, after I met Misaki, I’ve always had the goal of becoming a good parent one day. I’ve yet to know anything at that time, I was just trying to deal with the obstacles in front of me, and I was happy that my effort was acknowledged.
I’m no longer Misaki’s parent legally. But that has always been the case. At that time I felt like I’ve lost Misaki for forever and got upset, but after half a year has passed I’ve cooled down.
The things I want to do hasn’t changed.
“……Goodnight, Misaki.”
I want to keep watching this world’s cutest sleeping face for forever, but my yawning won’t stop. Sleepy.
After closing my eyes, my thoughts start running.
I wonder what I should do when I wake up.
……Let’s do the thing Misaki wants to do.
As I think about the new days I’m going to spend with Misaki after this, I drifted off to sleep.
Chapter 57: The day Misaki comes back.
