I sat there, watching from a distance as Miyu and Miharu san talked.
I can’t say that everything was resolved, but I can say that it was over for the time being.
As for Wado’s brother, it seems his mother was waiting for him and he is now sleeping on her lap.
“Good work.”
My dad spoke to me, holding a drink.
I take the drink he hands me and take a sip.
“……You’re not mad?”
“Of course I’m mad. But now is not the time for a lecture.”
My dad looks genuinely happy as he watches Miyu’s awkward but cheerful expression.
“But, well, I never thought I’d see the day when my son would use me.”
“……Well, it’s not like I’m gonna do what you say.”
The strategy for this time was decided at the discussion between me and Miyu last night.
It seemed like only Miyu and I were there yesterday, but I guessed my dad was at home.
He must have heard what we were talking about and planned this operation.
Knowing my dad, he would have done everything in his power to stop me if I had been the only one going.
You never know what Hananoi Misaki will do.
The same can be said for my dad.
But there is only one person she would never hurt.
That is Miyu.
If I had rushed in alone, it wouldn’t be surprising if she had a knife or something.
But with Miyu, Hananoi Misaki would be unarmed.
Her love for her daughter was the key.
“But I didn’t expect it. Expressing her affection midway through…”
When the way she looked at Miyu changed, I was prepared to do something.
“…You idiot. It’s not affection.”
“Huh? But surely—“
“She’s pretending. She acted as if she was disgusted with Miyu and kept her away from her.”
To prevent Miyu from being tied down to her from now on.
That’s what my dad seemed to think.
“What for?”
“I don’t know what she was thinking. But this time it wasn’t like Misaki.”
“What do you mean?”
“She’s making too bold a move, right? With you, she spent four years preparing to marry me and earn my trust. Compared to that, how is this time?”
“Now that you’ve said it…..”
This time, she had only a few months to prepare, and she was targeting the family of her daughter’s friend. It was easy enough to imagine that she would be exposed immediately.
“…Perhaps, somewhere in her heart, she wanted it to end.”
I don’t know how Hananoi Misaki feels now.
But if she really wanted to keep her daughter away from her, the attempt had failed.
Miyu said she would wait.
She wanted them to live as a mother and daughter again.
“I wonder what she will do now.”
“That’s for her to decide, isn’t it?”
My dad said, looking at Miyu’s figure.

“……Those people are amazing.”
Miharu san, who is my father, looks at Ken and the others and says.
“I couldn’t move for a long time, even though it was about my own daughter. I respect them for their ability to act for others.”
“……You’re right. That guy is always helping me when I’m in trouble. When I thank him, he gets mad.”
I laugh, remembering all the times he’s done that.
“Is he a friend of yours, Miyu chan?”
“Yes, Ken is—”
I am at a loss for words.
Is it really okay that we are friends?
I wonder if that’s enough…
“Miyu chan?”
I don’t want to lie about my feelings anymore.
If that’s the case.
“No, he is not my friend.”
“Eh? Is that so?”
“Yes. He’s someone I like.”
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Three days have passed since the day Hananoi Misaki was arrested.
I skipped school the next day after attending school yesterday.
Miyu has been absent for the past two days.
The environment is changing in many ways.
Perhaps she would need some more time to think about it.
That’s what I thought……
“Good morning, Ken.”
When I left the house to go to school, Miyu was waiting for me in her school uniform.
“You, that hair !?”
“This? It looks good on me, doesn’t it?”
Standing there was not a blonde gal, but a black-haired one.
I had a feeling I had met someone like her somewhere before.
“No, well, it looks good on you, but….are you okay?”
When I asked her that, Miyu quietly closed her eyes and said.
“……We shouldn’t talk about it here, do you wanna walk around for a bit?”
I took her up on her suggestion and we both started walking.
