Episode 32 – If I can get Takuma’s signature and seal on the marriage certificate, I’ll consider it?

“Oh, Takuma, look, look. It’s started.”

As the two of us sat on the lawn, looking up at the night sky and waiting, the moment it was time for the fireworks show to begin, a single firework was shot off.

The fireworks were launched one after another into the night sky, and the short bursts of sound echoed along with the colorful lights.

“Fireworks are always beautiful, aren’t they?”

“Yes, it’s just like summer in Japan, isn’t it?”

Alice and I are both cuddled up together, staring at the fireworks blooming in the night sky. The fireworks are really beautiful as they scatter brightly colored flashes into the night sky and then disappear.

“….., speaking of which, how many fireworks are going to be shot off today?”

“I think 13,000,”

“Hee, that many fireworks? I can enjoy them for a while.”

“Yeah, since we came all this way, it would be a shame if we didn’t enjoy them until the end.”

Alice and I were both pretty excited. Fireworks are always exciting, no matter how old you are. While we were gazing at the night sky for a while, Alice, who was sitting next to me, opened her mouth with a grin.

“Hey, Takuma. Don’t you have something to say to me?”

“…..I’ll never say anything more no matter what.”

I immediately refused when I heard Alice trying to get me to say the same line again. As expected, I don’t get caught in the same hands over and over again.

“Eh, it’s fine right”

“I don’t want it to be a proposal line again.”

I feel like it’s already too late for many things, but at least I can resist.

“Well, that’s fine, I’ve recorded the last one as a permanent record.”

“Eh!?”

I didn’t notice it at all, but it seems that Alice secretly recorded it.

“By the way, about you delete it….?”

“If I can get Takuma’s signature and seal on the marriage certificate, I’ll think about it?”

Yeah, I can’t do that. It seems like giving up is the only option I have now. I was now made to realize that the mouth is the source of disaster, but it seems I realized it too late.

◇　◇　◇　◇　◇　◇　◇

As the two of us continue to watch the fireworks together, we realize that an hour and a half has passed. The announcement of the end of the fireworks display was starting to play in the hall.

“It all happened so fast, didn’t it?”

“Yeah, it seemed like it was already over.”

Alice and I were walking down the street toward the station, talking like that. We were just about to head home when a problem arose.

“Kya!?”

Alice lost her balance and almost fell down. It might have been caused by her geta, which she was not accustomed to wearing.

Fortunately, she didn’t fall because I held her from the side, but she seemed to have sprained her ankle and had a painful expression on her face.

“Can you walk?”

“…… sorry, I don’t think I’m going to be able to move anytime soon.”

“I see, then get on my back”

I squatted down and got into a piggyback position. And then Alice has a surprising look on her face.

“I didn’t expect Takuma to do that voluntarily.”

“I couldn’t just leave you here, you know.”

“Then by all means.”

After confirming that Alice was on my back, I slowly stood up. People around me stare at me, but that doesn’t matter.

“Hey, is there a convenience store near here?”

“Umm…There’s one just a little further north “

“Okay, I’ll go to the convenience store and buy something that can be used for first aid, so please take care of navigation.”

“Leave it to me”

I asked Alice to help me find a convenience store using the map app on smartphone, and with Alice’s guidance, I started walking toward my destination.

　
“….Hey Takuma, am I heavy?”

“Don’t worry, you’re not heavy at all.”

“Thank goodness, even I would have been shocked if you had said I was heavy.”

“In fact, considering you are almost the same height as me, I feel like you are too light.”

Alice is much taller than the average height of a seventeen-year-old woman, yet she is probably only about average in terms of weight. While I was thinking about this, I arrived at the convenience store.

“Well, Alice, you wait here, I’ll be right back.”

“Take care”

I dropped Alice off next to the entrance and entered the convenience store. I went into the convenience store, dropped Alice off next to the door, bought some compresses and taping tape from the medical supplies shelf, and went back to Alice.

“I thought the pain would be better with the compresses and taping tape. Just sit still for a little while.”

I applied the poultice to the affected area and carefully taped it. I had learned how to do it in health and physical education class, so I was able to do it without any problems.

“Thanks to you, Takuma, I feel much better.”

“Can you walk by yourself?”

“If I say I can’t, will you carry me like a princess?”

“Yes, I think you’re doing fine now that you’re able to talk so casually.”

The best proof of this is the fact that Alice’s face has lost the painful expression she had earlier.

“Ah, now I think my stomach is starting to ache. Maybe if Takuma holds me like a princess, it will go away.”

“Stop telling lies that are obvious and obvious. If you say anything more, I’ll leave you alone.”

“Mouu, Takuma’s petty.”

After that, we went home without any problems. The fact that Alice persistently asked for a princess hug after that, so I had no choice but to do it once, is another story.
