(TL/N : From here on, the story is from the remake version, so the chapter jumps from 85 to 89, enjoy!)
“Whew …… that’s a little nerve wracking.”
I was just getting ready at home to greet Sara’s parents.
I was surprised when Sara contacted me last night and asked if I could come over to greet them today, but I had to do my best.
It was the same with Ai’s parents and Mari’s parents, but I don’t think I’ll ever get used to meeting my girlfriend’s parents for the first time no matter how many times I’ve done it …… Well, it’s not something I’d experience many times if I wasn’t in this world.
I mean, this time, like with Mari, I feel even more nervous because it’s a complete first meeting, since we don’t have a relationship that was originally approved by her parents, and I’ve never had a conversation with them like I did with Ai’s mother, Megumi san, so I feel even more nervous.
Sara’s parents are serious and firm, as her father is a middle school math teacher and her mother is a preschool teacher, I think.
I don’t know the details of their personalities, though…..
One more thing. Yesterday, I got a call from my mom at the right time, apparently she wanted to meet my girlfriends. Well, not so much my girlfriends, but rather Haruka, Ai, and Sara.
Why only three? That’s what I thought at first too, but when I heard the reason, I was convinced…… though of course I was also surprised.
As for Mari, it seems she met my parents the day after she first met me.
I heard that when Mari heard that the parents were meeting, she came along and was greeted by them.
And I heard that Mom and Mari often exchange messages. ……
I was like, “When did this happen?!”
But what surprised me more was Kaori.
I really didn’t know it either, but it seems that Kaori san has been seeing my mother many times. ……
I had told my father and mother that I also liked Kaori san, but it seemed that my mother, who was interested in her, had contacted her.
And it seems they hit it off from the first time they met and became friends. ……
Isn’t that a little awkward? I thought so for a minute.
Because, if the two of them became friends, what if Kaori san and I got married in the future… I thought about that and told my mother, but she didn’t seem to care about that at all… No, in fact, she was really proactive about marrying Kaori!!! That’s how it felt, so I stopped thinking about it.
I don’t know, but if my mom is happy with it, then that’s fine. ……
So I’m going to bring the three of them to meet my father and mother in the near future.
I’d like to bring Mari and Kaori along, but there are too many of us, so I’m thinking it will be after the three of them.
Well, it’s not something to worry about, so I’m not thinking too much about it.
I’ve already told her that I have five girlfriends, and I’ve already explained to her what kind of people they are.
More importantly, I’m now ……
I took a deep breath.
“Good! Let’s get it together.”
I got myself fired up again and proceeded to get ready for the day.
◇
（beep, beep, beep）.
When I arrived at Sara’s house, I rang the intercom and the door opened immediately and I saw Sara’s face.
“Oh, hello, Akuru-kun! Welcome”
“Good morning, Sara.”
“Good morning. You can come in right away! Mom and dad are ready for you.”
“Okay, excuse me.”
“Okay!”
So I went inside the house with Sara.
“Akuru kun, I’ll have mom and dad wait upstairs, so we can talk a little first.”
Sara and I arrived at the living room and sat down on the sofa.
“I’m fine, of course, but what’s up ……?”
“I was just wondering if you were a little nervous ..”
Of course I’m nervous, but did it show on my face that much?
“I mean, of course I’m nervous, but was it …… that obvious?”
“It was kind of obvious. And I told you beforehand that my parents are very worried about me, so…… “
“Well, I guess so. …… Since we’re actually meeting for the first time, I’m honestly worried that they might be opposed to the idea. Of course, I’m not going to give up on you if there are objections,……, but maybe I should have worn my hair darker?”
“We all talked about it and decided on it, so it’s fine. Like Mari-chan said, we all fell in love with you the way you are now… we fell in love with everything about you, your looks, your blonde hair, and your personality. Well, of course, we’ll still love you the same even if your hair is black.”
Sara smiled and came over to me as if to calm my nervousness.
“That’s true too. ……”
“Yes! And you see, I explained everything about Akuru to Mom and Dad yesterday. I also told them about Kaori san and Mari chan. I don’t know if they accepted it, but at least it didn’t seem like they were against it. They seemed friendly during our discussion today too. So you can just relax and be okay!”
“I see…thanks……. I feel a little more at ease now.”
“Yeah! So, can we go to my mom and dad now?”
“Yes, I think so. I’m not going to make them wait any longer.”
Then Sara went up the stairs.
◇
Sara gathered her mother and father, and now I am meeting Sara’s parents.
“You must be Sano Akuru-kun. I am Sara’s father, Aizawa Makoto. Nice to meet you.”
“I am her mother, Aizawa Kana. Pleased to meet you.”
The father, Makot sano, said so with a straight face …… and a serious face, while the mother, Kana san, said so with a smile.
“Yes. I’m very happy to meet you. I’m sure you know that my name is Sano Akuru. Thank you for inviting me to your home today.”
“Sara has told me what kind of boy you are, but first of all, how serious are you about Sara?”
Sara’s father, Makoto san, asked me that.
“Well, …… you may think that I’m a first-year high school student and that I’m too quick-tempered, but I love Sara and I care about her. And that will never change and I would like to get married in the future. ……”
I have talked about marriage not only with Sara, but also with Ai, Haruka, Mari and Kaori. Of course, as of now, it’s just a verbal promise, but when I grow up, I’m going to propose to everyone again.
Well, it’s still too early to tell. ……
“….. is that the same opinion as Sara’s?”
“Yes….. and as I told you yesterday, I’m serious.”
“I see. ……”
When Sara said that, Makoto’s expression became a bit complicated, but it wasn’t like a negative expression, more like he was holding back tears.
“To be honest, I’m worried. But I could tell from what she said yesterday that you are serious about this. At the same time, I was really happy that Sara was so desperate to share her feelings with us. And that it was Akuru kun who brought out the best in Sara. ……”
It is true that Sara is not good at putting forward her own opinions.
No, maybe it would be more accurate to say that she wasn’t good at it. Sara has grown a lot and become more and more proactive, and the same is true at school.
She was always passive, but I have seen her talking to some of her classmates on her own.
“It may be true, but it is an exaggeration to say that I brought her out of it. I know that Sara wanted to work hard and change herself …… to be more active in various things, and I know that she has been working hard to change herself. Of course Haruka and Ai helped, but Sara changed because of her hard work, not because of me.”
I realized after I finished saying this, but maybe this wasn’t the right thing to say in front of Sara…
Sure enough, I glanced at Sara and she looked extremely embarrassed.
