“Maybe you’re right, but me bringing it out of her is an exaggeration. 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……
I glanced at Sara and she looked very embarrassed.
“Well, …… you’re right. Sara did her best. ……”
I thought Makoto-san, who heard my words, muttered that with deep emotion, and now her mother, Kana-san, smiled and opened her mouth.
“Fufu…….., it looks like you’re just like Kaori-chan said ……”
“Kaori san?”
I know the mothers are close to each other, but ……
I didn’t expect Kaori san’s name to come up, so I just responded that way.
“Yeah. Actually, last night, I couldn’t help but get worried, so I called Kaori-chan and asked her about Akuru-kun. …… I’m sorry I took the liberty of probing you.”
I see… If she had asked about her relationship with Kaori, it would make sense. From Kana san’s point of view, it would be the quickest way to find out.
“I see,…… that such a thing happened, but it’s okay. I can fully understand why the two of you would be concerned from your standpoint.”
I think it’s a confirmation of what I’ve heard, and I don’t think there’s anything to apologize for.
“Thank you. Kaori-chan also praised Akuru kun a lot, he’s a really good kid. Makoto-san is more of a worrier than I am… I’ve heard Sara’s feelings too so I trust her. Sara was really desperate yesterday and looked really happy when she praised Akuru kun. That’s why I hope you will continue to take good care of Sara.”
Kana san said this with a smile, and at the end she bowed her head lightly with a serious face.
And following her, Makoto-san said this time.
“I guess,…… I still inevitably worry about some aspects, but it seems that the two of you are genuine in your feelings,…… and I look forward the pleasure from my side as well.”
Their faces are serious.
It’s still too early to think that they’ve been fully accepted……, but for now, they seem to have been convinced. ……
It looks like Sara was persuaded, and I don’t know what kind of conversation they had, but I have to thank Kaori san as well.
I replied in a strong voice to meet their expectations.
“Yes! I will definitely make her happy, so leave it to me!”
◇
After greeting Sara’s parents, I stayed in Sara’s room with her.
To be honest, I thought it would be a lot harder to convince them.
A doting parent…that’s pretty much all the knowledge I had.
“Akuru-kun? What’s wrong?”
Sara asked me as I was thinking about that.
“No, I was just relieved.”
“I know, you were very worried when you first came to my house today.”
“I’ve heard about it beforehand,……, and I heard that Sara was very desperate to persuade them. I really appreciate it.”
I told Sara with a smile, and she replied with a shy yet happy look on her face.
“No. That was one thing I absolutely couldn’t give in on. I even considered running away from home if they had opposed it. If that had happened, I would have ended up arguing with my parents for the first time in my life.”
“Hahaha, you ran away from home. …… Then I’m glad that didn’t happen.”
Seeing Sara say this jokingly, she’s really changed… I really think so again.
“Even so, I was surprised that she was talking to Kaori san too…”
“Didn’t you know, Sara?”
“Yeah. After we talked last night, I went straight back to my room and started thinking about things, so I didn’t hear anything about that.”
“I see… Sara’s persuasion was one thing, but maybe the reason she was so easily accepted was also thanks to Kaori san. Well, I don’t know.”
“Maybe so. But, well, anyway, this is a relief.”
Sara slowly lay down on the bed as she said that.
“I guess so. By the way, you were thinking in your room, did something bother you?”
“I was. As I said before, I kept thinking about what would happen if I was not accepted. Well, I guess it was all in my head. To be honest, I was also worried about it, even though I told you today that it would be fine. We talked about it yesterday, but I was afraid they would react badly.”
I didn’t realize that …… Sara was also worried about me in the midst of her anxiety.
“Thanks. I really feel much better now that Sara said that to me first.”
“No, it’s okay. However, it seems like Dad still has some concerns, but please forgive him. He’s not opposed to it at all…”
That was certainly true. Well, I guess that’s something that will become clear in the future.
“It’s true that Makoto san still seemed quite worried, or rather anxious…But, well, he’s just worried about Sara, it’s not like he hates me, and I think that’s normal from a father’s perspective. All that’s needed is for him to truly accept me from now on.”
In fact, any father with a daughter would be worried if her first boyfriend came in front of her.
It can be said that it is generally the same in both previous lives and in this world.
And in this case, it’s a good story at all just to be allowed to go out with her.
“Oh, well, then again, I’m in your care, Sara”
I said that with a smile, and she said it with a big smile on her face.
“Yeah! me too Akuru kun!”
“Then, let’s let everyone know how today went, shall we?”
“Yes, I think so. Ai chan and Haruka chan seemed to be very concerned about it.”
Then Sara and I lay in the same bed, looking at the screen of Sara’s smartphone together as we started reporting to everyone, and after spending some time together we went our separate ways.
◇
“I guess that’s a relief for now. ……”
I muttered to myself as I got home.
I was a little out of sorts, but I was totally grateful for that.
Anyway, this really solved all my problems.
All I have to do now is get them to meet my parents, but that, well, that’s not a problem for me.
From Ai and Sara’s point of view, they might be nervous because they haven’t met me yet. ……
(picon)
While I was thinking about that, a notification on my phone rang.
Who could it be? I thought as I picked up my phone and checked the screen.
It was Mari who contacted me. ……
“Akuru, let’s play!”
That was the text.
I thought it didn’t sound like Mari, so I tilted my head for a moment and wondered, “Who is it?”
