Chapter 97: What to wear!?
I was lying down on the table in the living room. After seeing Rika and the others off, Kaede had received a phone call. The news came that Kaede’s parents were coming to visit. They said that tomorrow would be the day. In other words, my life would end tomorrow.
“You’re already overreacting, Yuya-kun. Let’s just take it easy, take it easy!”
Kaede laughed and patted me on the shoulder, but unfortunately, my nerves were not strong enough to say, ‘Yeah, let’s take it easy!’
“It’s okay. My mother will help you, and she’ll give you some assistance if anything happens. Besides, I don’t know about the workplace, but I’ve never seen my father angry at home.”
Would that really be a relief? No, it doesn’t. Because Kaede was the precious and only daughter of the Hitotsuba family. I wonder how he felt about such a cute little girl living with a boy from her class. Just thinking about it was frightening.
“No, it isn’t, you know? I told you before, didn’t I? My father and mother were very happy with my selfishness of wanting to live with Yuya-kun.”
That’s right. The reason I was living with Kaede was because of her selfishness. The first thing that happened was that my dad, who was an a*****e, got into huge debts, and he cried out to his old friend Kaede’s mother, Sakurako-san, for help.
Kaede persuaded Sakurako-san, who had no intention of helping me, and her parents, who were delighted with her first bout of selfishness, saved me and I found myself living with her.
“So, I don’t think they don’t have anything to say about Yuya-kun now. In fact, if they have, you can rest assured that I’ll make sure to say it back to them.”
Kaede looked very reliable as she clenched her fists firmly. I slowly raised my body and took her reliable hands in mine.
“Thanks, Kaede. I’ll do my best too.”
“Fufu. That’s the spirit, Yuya-kun. It’s okay. Everyone goes through the process of greeting each other before marriage. Worst case scenario, one punch and all is well!”
“…I hope it won’t hurt.”
The way you say it sounds like they wanted to punch me! That means there was a possibility that it would turn out like this! Right, Kaede!?
“… It’s okay, I’m sure, maybe [TL: In English.], it won’t come to that. My father is so kind that he can’t even kill a bug.”
“I’d still be relieved if you hadn’t looked away and told me directly…”
In other words, my anxiety only grew more and more.
That said, there was no point in dwelling on it any longer. They say that first impressions make all the difference, and I have to do my best to make Kaede’s father think that I’m the right man for the job.
“I think it’s better to wear formal clothes when we meet. But I don’t have a suit!”
I was caught off guard because I thought I would only need a suit when entering college or for my wedding ceremony at most.
“I think it’s fine to wear a uniform there; you don’t have to worry about that, you know?”
“A uniform, huh? Yeah, let’s do that! Ah! I need to iron my shirt! No, it’s dry cleaning first! What should I do, Kaede!?”
“Yuya-kun, please calm down. The shirt will be fine as long as it’s washed and ironed normally. Besides, I’m sure my father will come dressed roughly anyway, so don’t worry about it.”
Are you sure? If you say that and they come to me in full formal attire, wearing a suit and tie, I’ll shy away and my soul would fly out of my mouth.
“Mou. If you’re so sure, do you want to go shopping for a setup tomorrow? I’ll fix it for you, okay?”
“Really! That would be great! Alright, we’ll go buy it first thing tomorrow morning!”
Now we’ve got one skin for the game! In addition, I need to prepare some gift wrapping, and I was going to be busy in the morning.
“But I’m not sure we can buy it tomorrow and bring it home right away…”
I had a feeling Kaede had said something very important, but my mind was more occupied with thinking about how to get through tomorrow’s big day.
