Buying a Weeping Girl Under the Wintry Sky, and Making Her Too Happy. - Chapter 41: Confirmation.

Confirmation.

“I’m home.”

“Grandma told me that you are coming home… That was so surprising! Kazuya, You said you were bringing your girlfriend, but I didn’t expect her to be such a pretty woman… Kazuya, are you being scammed?”

“Why are you reacting the same way as grandma…?”

I really think she’s too cute for me, but can’t they at least appreciate me a little bit more? Even if they are my grandparents…

“It’s okay, old man. He’s not getting scammed.”

“If Grandma says so, then I guess it’s all right.”

“Nice to meet you. My name is Shiroyume Miyu.”

“Oh, thank you very much for your kindness. I am Kazuya’s grandfather, Ryuji Kuroshima. Feel free to call me Grandpa.”

“…Y-Yes.”

I’m sure he was joking, but I don’t think Miyu got it. I’m not sure if she’s really going to call him Grandpa. I can’t imagine Miyu saying that somehow….

“Kazuya. I heard that you both live together.”

“!? ….Miyu?”

“…I’m sorry.”

“I’m not saying there’s anything wrong with it. What I’m trying to say is, are you ready for this? I’m only vaguely aware of what happened, but you brought her home without any other thought, didn’t you?”

I wish I didn’t have to tell anyone that I brought her in, but I did, so I can’t say anything…. But I’ve been prepared for this ever since I brought Miyu home. I’m determined to make Miyu happy.

“Of course I’m ready.”

“I knew you would say that. Then, you have to stick to that resolution until the end, okay?”

“I know.”

“Then, it’s no problem.”

“Really…?”

I’m a high school student and Miyu is a high school student. High school boys and girls living together is probably not a good idea from an ethical standpoint. I thought for sure that if grandma found out, she would definitely say something about it….

“If you’re prepared to stay with her till the end, that means you’re ready to get married, doesn’t it? Then there’s nothing wrong with that.”

“Marriage?!”

“That’s what one means when they say you’re prepared to stay with someone until the end, isn’t it?”

“…I don’t know about that. But, I’m determined to make Miyu happy. If there is someone who can make Miyu happier than me, I’ll step aside, and if Miyu’s okay with it, then I’ll…”

“That’s what I said right?”

“There is absolutely no way that I will fall in love with anyone other than Kazuya-kun.”

Why am I being made to talk about marriage and stuff when I’m just 17 years old, an age when I can’t even get married yet? What were Grandma and Miyu talking about while I was away from home anyways?! ….And what the hell am I supposed to answer here and now? Please, someone tell me what the right answer is here….

“What, are you actually sure about marrying Kazuya already?”

“No, I won’t just yet. In the first place, I’m not even old enough to get married.”

“That’s true. Anyways grandma, I’m hungry.”

“Grandpa sure is naive hahaha, well then let’s prepare for the food.”

Saying that, grandma went toward the kitchen. Hahh… That’s great… I’m seriously thankful to grandpa.

“….Kazuya-kun, you are sloppy.”

“Um …Miyu-san? Are you angry by any chance?”

“I’m not angry.”

“You, Kazuya, are the type of man who is always following his wife, aren’t you?”

Grandpa was laughing at that, but that’s Grandpa too, right? In our family, Grandma was always at the top of the caste, and Grandpa and I always did what Grandma told us to do.

Then, after a while.

“Okay, the food’s ready. Get seated quickly.”

“Oh, that’s a delicious looking sekihan. It’s a happy day for sure. That’s my wife.”

“…I forgot.”

“Looks delicious….”

The meal prepared for you was a complete New Year’s lineup of red rice, grilled sea bream, and red miso soup. The first time I ate it in a long time, I was very uncomfortable with the lunch.

I had not eaten rice prepared by my grandmother in a long time, but it was very delicious.
