The Guy Who Messed Up Is Gradually Doing His Best - Chapter 100: (Nohara Kaori's Perspective)

“Taketo-kun…”

You’ve gotten better again. That gentle voice of yours, which reaches deep into Taketo-kun’s heart, always warms my heart.

Thank you for always being by my side. I take out a handkerchief and press it to my eyes.

“S~n~i~f~f~”

Next to me, my younger sister Shiori, whose face has become a mess of tears and runny nose to the point that I can’t help but laugh, is rubbing her eyes vigorously.

No, all the relatives are in front of the big screen TV, holding handkerchiefs to their eyes.

Yes, today we had our second year-end party of the year, just with relatives. We were talking about how Taketo-kun will be making his first TV appearance on the 30th during the King of Songs Night, and naturally, relatives gathered at the family home.

Things change, don’t they? Until we met Taketo-kun, most of the Nohara clan thought they didn’t need men.

Now, even my grandmother, mother, and aunt treat Taketo-kun like their grandchild or child. As his wife, I am also happy about it.

But, my relatives who are around my age (including my younger sister Shiori) sometimes talk about Taketo-kun as if he were their husband… I guess there’s nothing we can do about it…

Maybe, when they want children, instead of using the “Childbearing Selection” that has no decent registrants, they would approach Taketo-kun, who is a relative and also an attractive man (which is not uncommon in this world)……

——But it was fine.

Now, I am moved to tears listening to Taketo-kun’s song on TV, but just a few minutes ago, all the relatives were on edge, ready to explode. I can’t really say anything about others, though…

That’s Sawakaze Kazuya. Who does he think he is? We, the relatives, including myself, were all looking forward to the Armed Girls’ song because we heard from Taketo-kun that he would be the first to sing at the King of Songs Night.

What does that even mean? Suddenly, Sawakaze Kazuya appeared on the TV screen, took the microphone from the MC, and started a ridiculous microphone performance (criticism of the Armed Girls, Taketo).

Moreover, since the content was completely baseless, all the relatives were furious. Of course, I was also angry. The table is broken, you know.

My husband, Taketo-kun. He has come to my company a few times, so many people know his personality.

Since it was a song (Armed Girls’ Song) that I had listened to many times instead of the company radio, my anger towards it was quite substantial.

“That guy, should I just bury him at the bottom of the sea after [censored] and [censored]?” “No way, I’ll just [censored] and [censored] and [censored] him out!” “Just [censored] and bury him already!” …There were a lot of forbidden words (vulgar language) flying around that I really didn’t want Taketo-kun to hear.

“Hehe…”

When Taketo-kun’s left arm holding the microphone appeared on the TV screen, the bracelet with the Nohara family’s crest sparkled, and I couldn’t help but smile.

“Oh, sis. Taketo-kun is wearing the bracelet properly!”

“Wow, really!”

“Really wonderful.”

“Taketo-kun…”

Relatives in their early 30s, around ten of them, who were watching TV in the same way, are now casting intense gazes at Taketo-kun.

While many men don’t wear bracelets, Taketo-kun wears them properly.

I say this repeatedly, but many members of the Nohara clan do not need men. The people working at our company are also quite capable, which contributes to this tendency.

This is because the Nohara clan, having indirect dealings with men in industries such as construction, real estate, waste management, and cleaning, was well aware of men’s arrogance and, without forcing themselves to find a husband, utilized “Childbearing Selection” to secure successors.

That’s why, even though he’s a man, Taketo-kun is very friendly and quickly became very popular among the Nohara clan.

“Hehe. Actually, Taketo-kun took off the Nohara family’s bracelet since I put it on.”

This means he doesn’t want to be apart from me, right? He’s just too cute. That’s why I can’t help but take care of him.

“Looks like you’ve started bragging too, sis.”

“That’s how wonderful Taketo-kun is.”

“That’s true…”

Even though I was so moved by the armed girl after his performance that I couldn’t even open my mouth properly, the MC’s praise eased my frustration.

But everyone who watched knows that Sawakaze Kazuya’s statement was wrong, yet he doesn’t apologize? We haven’t seen Sawakaze Kazuya since then…

After his turn, Taketo-kun appears here and there. The show knows who to frequently show.

“Ahh!”

“Taketo-kun is on screen again.”

Taketo-kun also smiles and waves when he appears on screen, so there isn’t a single relative who wants to watch another program.

At that moment, grandmother muttered as if she had just thought of something.

“Could you sing our company’s image song, son-in-law…?”

Immediately picking up on the grandmother’s muttering, the mother and aunt agreed. No, the entire family. Even I, just imagining the company image song (the Armed Girls’ Song) playing as background music in the commercial featuring Taketo-kun, felt my heart flutter.

“Um.”

It goes without saying that, with unanimous agreement, if it doesn’t burden Taketo-kun, we would request the company image song again.

While everyone enjoys the refined songs and dances of idols and singers while sipping on drinks,

“Huh!?”

All the relatives furrow their brows at the same time. It’s Sawakaze Kazuya. I had completely forgotten since he never appears on TV, but Sawakaze Kazuya is on the screen.

That’s right. Sawakaze Kazuya was the grand finale. But his song…

“Pfft.”

“What the hell, that guy. Is he slacking off? This idiot [censored].”

“Isn’t it… a boomerang?”

I had the impression that he could sing a bit better, but his singing was so bad that it made me feel embarrassed just listening to it.

They said it was a new song and got my hopes up, but this is just not it… I’ve already covered my ears.

Since Taketo-kun’s song was impressive (in a good way), his heartless song felt even more disappointing.

In the end, after Sawakaze Kazuya finished singing, there was no casual talk, and once the commercial break ended, the MC’s talk began, and the program concluded.

Later, Taketo-kun will join us here (at my parents’ house), but I haven’t told anyone yet, including my grandmother.

——Hehehe. I wonder if I can see everyone’s surprised faces…

After seeing the MAIN message from Taketo-kun saying, “It’s over, so I’ll teleport everyone and then come over,” I couldn’t help but smile.
