I tried to confess my feelings to the girl I like, but I got too excited and ended up proposing. Was her response OK?! ~ - Chapter 15

Episode 15

Several days have passed since then, and it’s mid-August. I’ve been troubled by something.

“Come on~ Just for one day is fine!”

Ryota suddenly said he wanted to stay over at our place.

“Mana is here, and there’s no space for you to sleep. Plus, I don’t want anyone else to see Mana looking even a bit disheveled besides me.”

“I don’t wanna hear that lovey-dovey stuff! No, it’s not about that. You’re the only guy I can rely on~ I had a fight with my parents and ran away from home, so I’ll definitely pay you back somehow! Please!”

What should I do?

It’s fine for me, but I’m still concerned about Mana.

She probably wouldn’t like sleeping under the same roof with someone she’s not close to.

But, well, it feels awkward to refuse after he’s begged me this much.

“Ugh, fine. I’ll ask Mana just in case. She’s out shopping right now, so wait a bit.”

“Awesome! Seriously, thank you! Then, I’ll buy some snacks and wait!”

“Hey, hold on! I didn’t say you could stay over yet… Whatever, I guess it’s fine. Let me call Mana first.”

I opened the chat with Mana and dialed her number.

“Hello, what’s the matter?”

“Hey, sorry to bother you out of the blue. I have this friend named Ryota, and he really wants to stay over at our place. I can’t decide on my own, so I wanted to confirm with you…”

“It’s okay?”

“Yeah, right. Then, I’ll just reject him… Huh? You’re okay with it?”

“You don’t need to worry about me at all. Since I’m not unfamiliar with Kudo-kun.”

“I see. Thanks! Then, could you also prepare dinner for him tonight?”
“Of course. Since I’m still shopping, I’ll buy more ingredients for him as well.”

“Thank you so much! I’ll do something to thank you later!”

“Hehe, I’m looking forward to it. Well then, I’ll hang up now. See you later.”

“Yeah, later.”

After saying that, the call ended.

I didn’t expect her to say okay.

And she seems to know about Ryota too.

Well, I’ll deal with that later. For now, I need to contact him.

“Hello? Mana said you can stay.”

“For real?! Your wife is seriously an angel! Alright, I’m heading to your place! See ya!”

“Hey, wait a sec! Ugh, why doesn’t he listen to others? Well, whatever. Let’s tidy up the room while waiting.”

About thirty minutes later, Mana came back from shopping.

“Welcome back, sorry to suddenly ask this, but a weird guy is going to stay over.”

“It’s okay, Sora-kun worries too much. After all, this is Sora-kun’s house.”

“That’s true, thank you.”

She’s so kind.

As expected of Mana.

“Well then, I’ll start preparing dinner. Sora-kun, could you go pick up Kudo-kun?”

“Nah, I don’t need to go pick him up. He messaged saying he’ll arrive soon.”

“I see. Then, shall we wait at home?”

Ding dong.

“Speak of the devil.”
I headed to the front door and opened it.

“Hey, I’m here~”

“What’s with that huge bag?”

“What else? Snacks and drinks, obviously. Since it’s a sleepover.”

“You bought too much, idiot. Can you even finish all of that?”

“Well, it’s also for dinner. This should be just right.”

Ah, right. I forgot to tell him because he hung up so quickly.

“As for dinner, Mana will make it. So, you won’t be able to finish those snacks, huh?”

“Huh?! Mana is cooking?!”

“Your voice is too loud, this is the entrance.”

“If you’re gonna say that, let me in quickly~. This bag is surprisingly heavy, you know?”

“Oh, right. Come in then. I’m ready.”

“Then, don’t mind if I do. I’m intruding~!”
