What do I do from here: …….

The messages have stopped at ‘take care’ and ‘thank you in two ways!’ ‘ and nothing more progressed. ……

It means that Touka knew the meaning of permanent employment. …… That would make Touka blush and go home.

Should I clear up the misunderstanding, or should I just blow it off and ask her to stay by my side as my wife? ……
The two meanings mean she’s happy, and if that’s the case, she might be upset when I tell her. Shouldn’t I just tell her casually? ……

A long night of agonizing thought followed.

◇◇◇

“In the end, I couldn’t get in touch with her about anything …….”

The sun has already risen and the light is streaming into the room through the curtains, letting it know that I’ve made it through the night without sleeping.
It’s a little late to call it early morning, but there’s still time to get to school.

“Ah, it’s morning.”

After a night of thinking about it, I decide to see her in person and then figure out how I’m going to bring up the subject.

“I’d better get ready and try to get to school early today.”

I thought about it for a while, and then I thought about how to take the conversation to the next level after we meet.

After getting ready for school, I went downstairs from my room to the living room.

“….. Cute! Ma-kun’s bath scene. This is Ma-kun when he started taking a bath by himself.”

Hmm? My bath? What do you mean?

“Yes, this is a picture of him before he took a bath with Touka-chan.”
“I only had the memory of having already taken a bath with him. I had forgotten that Maa-kun was naked back then.”

When I went downstairs and entered the living room, the two of them were sitting in chairs side by side, looking excited and facing the desk.

“Then this one was the first toi–“

Slam.

“No, no more. No.”

Mother and Touka were looking at the album together, which was supposed to be in the storage room in the yard, wondering when they had pulled it out.

I mean, why is Touka at my house in the morning?

As soon as I closed the album, I felt a sense of crisis, but the image of me in the bathtub was already burned into the mind of Touka. ……

“Ma-kun’s thing was kind of cute.”

It’s over. I can’t become a groom anymore.

◇◇◇

“Well, mother-in-law, I’m off.”
“I’m off. ……”
“Yes, Take care.”

I was in a bad mood because I hadn’t slept, but when something like that happened in the morning, I was completely down.

In the past, we used to take a bath together. So we have seen each other naked in one way or another.
But that was only when we were children, and it would be different to recognize it again now.
In the first place, on my part, I’ve already forgotten and don’t remember Touka’s nakedness anymore.

I’ve already forgotten what she looked like in the nude, and I don’t remember it!
Of course, I know it’s in the past, and the photos in the album are from before the time when I was taking a bath with Touka, so I guess I don’t need to worry about it.
But it was a blow to my self-esteem. That much is true.

From the looks of it, it’s possible that she’s already told my mom about the permanent job. ……
If it spreads any further, it will finally get out of hand, and I might as well just say, “Actually, that was a mistake.”

“Thank you, that conversation made me very happy. It made me realize that I am someone who is needed by Maa-kun. I was so happy to know that you wanted me to be there for you.”

As she continued to talk, she put her arm between my arm and my side and looked up at me.

“I’ll do my best to live up to Maa-kun!”

The carefree smile on Touka’s face was more pure than anyone else’s, and she looked prettier than any woman I’ve ever seen.

I can no longer say …… that I actually misspoke.

With Touka crossing her arms, the gazes around us changed drastically from what we had felt before, but Touka didn’t seem to mind, and even after arriving at school, Touka’s stickiness didn’t change.

After each class, Touka would come to my seat.

“Maa-kun, did you understand the lesson just now? If you don’t understand, I’ll teach you.”
“Look at me, Maa kun-kun.” Pashat (Camera shutter)
“Maa-kun, are you going to the bathroom? I’m going with you!”

I thought it was unusual for her to follow me to the bathroom, but I guess she was that happy that I proposed to her.
At this rate, I’m afraid she’s going to start writing [Maa-kun’s wife] on the career choice form she’s been struggling with. …… I remember that I have to submit it before the end of next week.

And so it was lunchtime.
I sat on the bench on the rooftop side by side with Touka to eat lunch. ……

“Maa-kun, I made today’s bento for you, you know? Eat well!”
“I see, so that’s why mom mother was grinning when she handed me my bento today.”

Here I finally learned the real reason why Touka had come to my house in the morning.

“today’s lunch box, Jaaan! It’s Ma-kun’s favorite sandwich!”

Oh! A sandwich. Ah, there’s also a pork cutlet sandwich, which I love.

“I wish I could have made you something more elaborate, but mother-in-law suggested that I start with something light.”
“I’m totally happy! you worked hard to make it. But you didn’t suddenly decide to come home this morning, did you? “”

I thought it wasn’t like Touka to suddenly come to my house in the morning and suddenly make my lunch, so I decided to ask her.

“Uh-huh. Actually, I’ve been communicating with your mother-in-law on Lyso (Line ish) for a while now. So I told her all about what happened yesterday ……. She asked me yesterday if I would like to try to try the bride candidate….”
“H-heee.”

How long have you been ………?
Wait that means mom has heard about it!

“Well then, Maa-kun. go ahead.”
“Ah, yes. Itadakimasu!”

I ate all of them, two slices each, in rotation of egg sandwiches, ham and lettuce sandwiches, and cutlet sandwiches, in that order.
The pork cutlet sandwich was the best.

“It was so delicious!”
“You ate the whole thing. …… hehehe I’m glad you did.”

It was really tasty, without any flattery.
The cutlet sandwiches were so different from the ones my mom made that I could eat an endless supply of them.

“The cutlets in the cutlet sandwich are deep-fried while being taught by Maa-kun’s mother.”
“Oh, bad,……, I’m getting sleepy.”

The effects of not sleeping last night are now showing up.
I managed to tolerate it during the morning classes, but …….

–I closed my eyes.

◇◇◇

“Did you fall …… asleep?”

Touka gently moves Masaki’s head onto her thigh when she notices that Masaki, who was supposed to be sitting next to her, is leaning against her.

Pashat (Camera)

“He’s on my knees now. ……Fufu”

Unaware that he is being filmed, Masaki continues to sleep soundly.

“Ma-kun’s lips are unprotected ……. I want to kiss him for the first time,…… but I want to do it for the first time with both of us conscious of each other,…… hmmm, I have to hold back. Yes!! Because I want to be embarrassed when we say to each other, ‘It’s our first kiss, isn’t it?’ After kissing, we both will to say to each other, ‘We have climbed the stairs to adulthood’ Yes, I have to be patient.”

Touka did not climb the stairs without telling Masaki, but firmly decided to climb the stairs with Masaki, step by step.

◇◇◇

I felt my body swaying jerkily.

“……-kun, Maa-kun, wake up.”

When I opened my eyes, I saw Touka’s face.
It seems that I was being shaken by Touka.

“Ah, I’m …… sorry. Wasn’t it heavy?”

The soft feeling on my head, the blue sky in front of my eyes, and the sight of Touka’s face made me instantly realize what was going on with me.

I immediately lifted my head from the top of Touka’s thigh and sat back down, raising my body.

“I’m totally fine! I just woke you up because the chime for the end of lunch break is about to ring.”
“Sorry, I didn’t get enough sleep last night.”
“I see,……, but just for afternoon classes, let’s work a little harder, shall we?”

Touka held out her hand with a smiling expression.
