The sunset illuminates her flax-colored hair, making it shine in golden.
However, despite its beautiful appearance, …… It somehow gave me a sense of transience, as if it could disappear at any moment.
“Why are you apologizing”
“……I am sorry for the trouble I have caused you”
“It was my own fault for falling from the tree……”
“It’s, It’s not……that, It’s about “Engagement”. You covered for me, didn’t you? When it comes to the calling off engagement, It was my action that caused all this to happen. You propose “Engagement” because you realize my situation with Amagi family, right?”
Considering the explanation of Arisa’s “My Adoptive father was the most excited” and the rumor that they are in dire financial situation, it seems like they are after the betrothal-money.
Yuzuru realized if he didn’t help her now, her relationship with adoptive parents may worsened.
“In the first place, it was my own fault to fall from the tree. And It made story more complicated. So there’s no need for you to be bothered or indebted to me……”
“Even then. That was a really big help. At that rate, I might have been forced to marry someone I didn’t like. I really, don’t want to be married to someone who are only after my body in exchange for money!”
Arisa said that while hugging her shaking body.
Then she looked at Yuzuru with a faint smile.
“Takasegawa-san, you are my benefactor. For now, I am safe from troubles”
“…… I can’t really put my head into the others family problems. However, we are classmates. So if you have any problems, please contact me. I will help you as much as possible”
Yuzuru, who sympathized with her circumstances, promised that, even though he finds it a rather unreliable statement.
Unless they are violating the law, they will simply refuse saying, “Stay out of the family affairs”.
A poor attempt to stir things up could make Arisa’s position even worse.
Arisa isn’t stupid either, knows its just a verbal promise.
However……
“It’s really, really encouraging just to hear that”
Her Jade-colored eyes were moist as she said this with such an expression that looked relieved and somewhat saved.
Three days later, after the end of Golden Week.
Yuzuru decided to return to his apartment.
My parents and grandparents were trying to stop me from going back,…… it will probably take one hour to reach my apartment from here.
It will be time consuming to pick up and drop off by a car.
I was a little loss……, but Yuzuru who didn’t want to get up early in the morning, decided to return to his apartment.
(I guess I’ll have to take a break from my part-time job. But …… I think an inconvenient life is about to begin.)
Early in the morning on the first day of school, Yuzuru opened the door of his apartment building, sticking out his cane, trying his best to go to school.
Then there……
“Good morning, Takasegawa-san”
“……Why are you here?”
A beautiful girl with light brown hair and green eyes.
Arisa Yukishiro stood.
She said with her usual calm expression, but in a determined voice, with a strong will in her beautiful eyes.
“I will support Takasegawa-san until you are fully healed”
“It’s going to be hassle……”, said Yuzuru while trying to scratch his head, he released the crutches which caused him to staggered greatly.
