Chapter 102: After the Storm, a Sweet Night Awaits
After declaring my feelings for Kaede, we had a peaceful and enjoyable dinner party. Kaede talked openly about what happened at school and how I confessed my feelings to her under the stars at the extracurricular camp. I was so embarrassed; it was like fire was emanating out of my face.
It was almost time for the party to end. As we sipped our tea, Sakurako-san looked as if she remembered something. I wondered if it was something important.
“Yes, yes! Miyamoto-san’s daughter will be entering the Meiwadai High School you guys are attending in April, so please be nice to her.”
Did Miyamoto-san have a daughter? And she was going to be our junior this spring. That was new info for me. Oh, Kaede’s expression doesn’t seem to be happy, what’s wrong?
“No… I see. Yui-chan is coming to the school, isn’t she? This is going to be a nuisance.”
“Eh? A nuisance? Why’s that, I’m really curious! Tell me what it means, Kaede.”
However, Kaede’s only response to my question was to raise her eyebrows, make a thoughtful face, and groan. Sakurako-san, who couldn’t bear to see it, told me the reason with a wry smile.
“Fufu. Miyamoto-san’s daughter, Yui, loves Kaede. They are close in age, so she looks up to her like her own sister. She probably doesn’t know that Kaede is dating Yuya-kun, so I’m sure you’ll be in a lot of trouble.”
Sakurako-san, what was with the evil smile on your face, like you had just found a new toy?
“Oh, I’m sorry, Yuya-kun. Sakurako-san is right, you’ll definitely be in a lot of trouble, so be prepared.”
Even Kazuhiro-san! Don’t meditate and nod your head! Why do you have to put your hands together as if you’re praying!? That’s inappropriate! I don’t know what that means, but was Yui-san from Miyamoto-san’s family that fierce!?
“To summarize, she’s like a parasite. When I was little, she stuck to me and wouldn’t leave me. Miyamoto-san couldn’t stand the sight of that, so we went to separate junior high schools. I hope she’s somewhat calmer now, but… you’ll have to meet her in person to find out more about this.”
I see. In other words, they went to school together until they were in elementary school, but Miyamoto-san couldn’t stand to see how close she was, so he enrolled her in a different school for junior high school. But not for high school. But I don’t know if her love for Kaede has been fixed. So that’s how it went.
“I hope she won’t bite Yuya-kun, but… well, if she does, rest assured that I will give her an iron fist punishment!”
“… Do you mean that I’ll be physically bitten? Will she really do that? And Kaede will punish her then? What’s with that, I’m scared…”
“It’s okay! Before that happens, I’ll tell her ‘treat him as your brother’! That’s how I’ll introduce her to Yuya-kun!”
Yeah, I think that would be an act of throwing an entire can, not just oil on the fire. I had a feeling it was going to be a big fire.
“Well, anyway. I’ve to ask you to take care of Yui from April, Kaede. It’d be great if Yuya-kun could help out, too.”
“Of course, Sakurako-san. I’m indebted to Miyamoto-san, so I’ll follow up to the extent I can. Please leave it to me.”
“Really, Yuya-kun, you’re so reliable. I can leave Kaede in your hands with no worries. Right, Kazuhiro-san?”
“Yeah, you’re absolutely right. Yuya-kun will be a good husband and a good boss.”
Kazuhiro-san and Sakurako-san were laughing heartily. Kaede was the only one who didn’t seem quite sure what to make of it. I wonder what was going on?
“… Yuya-kun is my future husband! I won’t give him to anyone!”
Kaede shouted, her cheeks puffed up like a balloon. Apparently, I’ve changed jobs from boyfriend to husband.

“I’m sorry for being so abrupt today. But I had a great time.”
“I was touched beyond my years when I heard about Yuya-kun’s feelings for Kaede.”
The time was almost 10pm. Kaede and I were still on spring holidays, which was fine, but Kazuhiro-san and Sakurako-san had regular jobs. They couldn’t stay any longer, so Miyamoto-san drove us home.
“It’s a long night, you know. You two young people will have plenty of time to yourselves after this. We from the older generation have to leave.”
“Ara, Kazuhiro-san. Aren’t we still working too? We won’t let you sleep tonight, will we?”
“Ahaha. Can you give me a break on that, Sakurako-san? I have an important meeting tomorrow, and–”
“Are you saying you prefer the meeting over me? You’re awful, Kazuhiro-san. I’m going to cry.”
A blue vein popped up on Kaede’s forehead and she was attached to my arm, as the two of them started making out in the doorway once again.
“Father, mother, please stop it! Please wait until you get home before you do anything like that! I want to make out with Yuya-kun as soon as possible!”
The volcano erupted, but what she said was not much different from her parents because she was covered in worries. In fact, Kaede’s released strawberry space was stronger because she directly declared she wanted to make out with me. And since she said that, it was obvious how these two people would react.
“I see. To reveal your passion for him just like that. I get it, Kaede would love to make out with Yuya-kun as soon as possible! Okay, Sakurako-san. Let’s get out of the way and quickly go home!”
“Right! We are not going to interrupt the first night of two young people’s lives any longer!”
At the end of the day, they left with a smirk on their faces, which made me feel rather uncomfortable. It was as hectic as a storm when they came and when they left. But this was finally the end of a long day.
“No, Yuya-kun. I’m not done with you yet.”
Kaede hugged my arms tightly and looked at me with moist eyes.
I know. You didn’t have to say what you wanted to say. I had been saying for a long time that I had to settle things first. Now that I’ve done that today, I’ll answer Kaede’s feelings again.
“…I love you, Kaede. You, of all people.”
I wrapped my arms around her waist and held her close, giving her a gentle, thoughtful kiss.
Just laying her lips on top of mine filled me with a feeling of happiness. However, that feeling gradually turned into lust, wanting to feel Kaede’s touch more and to be with her. And it seems that I wasn’t the only one who thought so.
“…Yuya-kun, I also… I love you more than anyone else.”
Pressing her face into my chest, Kaede said in a voice that seemed to fade. I hugged her even tighter, happy that she felt the same way. I’ll never let you go.
