Mea-san, Look Over Here.(Part 1)
“Then, come in, Mea-san.”
“Yes…”
I came back to the room with Mea-san.
The room where we live.
“I’ll call Renjiyo-san and the others. So, Mea-san, please relax for the time being…”
It was when I turned around and tried to take out my phone.
“…That’s not going to work.”
Mea-san said politely, her eyelashes down.
“Mea-san…?”
And just as I was about to ask her what she she meant─
“What─ Ehh?”
“I think… Mou, I mean you should properly say out what you want to say, Mea-san.”
There she sat down abruptly.
She sat neatly upright on the floor, her hands on her knees.
Oh, I know this one. I think it’s called “three fingers” …It’s when a woman does the most polite and bowed gesture.
“…Please listen to me.”
She bowed her head deeply and whispered to me.
I… didn’t know what to do, so I sat upright across from her and waited for her to speak.
She slowly looked up and looked straight up at me.
“At first I just wanted to get away from… my parents.”
She said.
“…Get away?”
“We have a very strict home, and every day was so cramped, so tight, so unbearable, that I always wanted to run out of the house… to get away…”
“I… I somehow can understand that.”
If she had to live in that mansion with such parents, she would have felt suffocated.
The fact that she has been raised strictly and carefully can be seen in her elegant behavior, surprising innocence, and naivete.
I think it is not unreasonable for her to feel uncomfortable with that…
“That’s when my father told me about… you. About you… and about your relationship with me. About the promise between your father and my father.”
“…Hmmm”
I felt like I could somewhat understand her state of mind when she found out about such things
Maybe she was─
“I was so so happy with that.”
It was just as I had imagined.
She uttered it as if it was a confession of her sins.
“So it didn’t have to be you in particular… Just as long as I could leave home. If I could live a free life, anyone would have been fine.”
She said this in a truly tragic voice, casting the shadows of her long eyelashes around her eyes.
“But…”
She shook her head violently.
Her beautiful hair was now in a mess, but Mea-san didn’t care about that, and she continued to scream in a painful voice,
“As I lived with you… I began to think more and more…”
“What─”
“It has to be you and you only…”
“──”
I choked.
She looked straight at me, her cheeks flushed.
“If… If I’m not with you, Kuuya-san, It’s even worse.”
“Me-Mea-san…”
“I don’t really know if It’s love or something. But I was really happy when you came for me…”
She whispered – and then she bowed deeply to me again.
“That’s why, I’m requesting you, Kuuya-san. Please let Mea stay here with you.”
“…”
“As your… wife…”
I felt a chill. My body was hot again.
I followed my heart’s desire and…
I stood up, walked over and knelt down in front of her.
I took her hand and whispered to her.
“Mea-san, look over here.”
“Ah…”
