CH 32

After that conversation, I was stunned for a while.

I wondered if the person I was talking to was really that father of mine.

I had misunderstood and thought that he was indifferent towards me all this while.

If you look at his attitude alone… That’s right.

Even if we were having a conversation right now, over there, he would probably be expressionless and wouldn’t have any change in his expression at all.

But when did you love me so much…

“So, how’d it go?”

“……”

While I was in a daze, Hisamura suddenly spoke to me.

Yes, I made this call at the behest of this man.

“I wondered if I was truly loved by my father.”

“Didn’t you figure that out from the phone call earlier?”

“Yes, you’re right. F-Father loves me… He loves me!.

I shedded more tears.

I was an idiot who worried about something that wasn’t true all this time.

All I had to do was to ask father once.

If I had done that, I would have known that my father actually loved me so much, and I wouldn’t have thought the opposite for so long.

“Well, from what you told me. It seems that your father is as bad as you are at expressing your feelings. Hey, you liked Yuuichi all this time but you can’t convey it to him, right?”

“T-That’s because Yuuichi is too insensitive.”

“Fufu, well that’s one thing. But that’s the same case for Tojoin-san, no? Who was loved for sixteen years but mistakenly thought that she wasn’t for so long?”

“You have a really good personality.”

“I’ll take that as a compliment.”

With that said, we both laughed at each other.

“So, what are you going to do now? Yuuichi and Fujise are already on their way to the place where supposedly lovers are supposed to be united for life if they confess there.”

“It’s decided, I’m going to stop them. No… I’ll show you that I’m the only one worthy of being Yuuichi Shigemoto’s girlfriend.”

“Fujise has a definite advantage at the moment, though, right?”

“There’s no way I’m going to lose to a girl like her. I’ll overtake her in an instant.”

“Fufu, That’s Kaori Tojoin for you.”

I stood up and ran towards Tsukasa Hisamura.

The confession spot was in the direction right behind him.

Whilst passing by Hisamura I said,

“Thank you. One day I shall repay this debt.”

I said and ran.

“Thank you for that. I’m looking forward to seeing how a Tojoin will repay her debt.”

I heard that from behind me after I passed Hisamura.

When I ran a little further, I saw a woman running in this direction.

I laughed and gave a few words before passing by her.

“You have a good boyfriend.”

“EH?!”

She reacted immediately but I didn’t stop to respond to her.

“H-He’s not my boyfriend yet!”

I heard that behind me and the corners of my mouth raised even further.

Still, how much time do I have left anymore?

With that in mind, I ran as fast as I could to Yuuichi and Fujise.

I arrived at the confession spot and looked around.

There weren’t many people here so I quickly found Fujise and Yuuichi.

The two of them were facing each other, exchanging nervous glances.

“Fu-Fujise…You know…I-I…”

“Shigemoto-kun…”

The moment I heard that, I screamed,

“Yuuichi!”

“Eh…!? Ka-Kaori?!”

The shouting made Yuuichi notice me immediately as he turned to look at me.

Yuichi, of course, had a look of “Why are you here?” written all over his face, Fujise had a very surprised look on her face as well.

“W-Why are you here!”

“Haa~ Haa~. Give me a moment. Let me, take a breath.”

She came right up to Yuuichi, took a few seconds to catch her breath and looked up and said.

“Yuuichi Shigemoto! I have something to say to you!”

“Wh-What is it? In the first place, why are you even here…?”

“I, for all this time, I LOVE YOU!” 

“Huh?”

“Eh?”

Kaori’s sudden confession shocked both Yuuichi and Fujise.

“I’ve loved you since elementary school! I’ve always loved you for so long!”

“Eh? Huh?”

“You approached me when everyone kept their distance because I was the daughter of a rich man. I love the Yuuichi that treated me like a normal girl. You were my first love. My feelings are still going strong to this day.”

“Wa… Ka-Kaori…Wait…”

“There were upperclassmen in elementary school that approached me telling me that Yuuichi’s face was getting cooler and cooler. I kept all of them away from you because I wanted to monopolize Yuuichi. I wanted to keep Yuuichi all to myself! They were only approaching Yuuichi because of your face! No, Yuuichi’s face is also very cool and cute. I wouldn’t be able to wake up if I didn’t look at it first thing in the morning.”

“Wait! Kaori, I can’t keep up with this!”

Yuuichi’s face is as red as or even redder than Kaori’s, although Kaori’s face is also red, she continues to shout.

Even Fujise, who was listening right next to them, had a blush on her cheeks.

“I’VE LIKED YOU ALL THIS TIME! NO, IT’S NOT JUST LIKE ANYMORE, I LOVE YOU! I LOVE YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART! I WANT ALL OF YUUICHI! I WANT TO GIVE YOU EVERYTHING! I WANT TO BE MESSED UP!”

“Wait a minute, Kaori! You’re talking about some pretty serious stuff!”

Something gave him a glimpse of Kaori fetishes, but she didn’t stop speaking.

“I don’t want you to be taken from me! I can’t think of anyone else for me to marry but you! So Yuuichi, please marry me.”

Kaori smiled broadly as she said this.
