After the meal, Yuzuru decided to send Airisa home.
Airisa insisted that it was okay to just leave at the station ... Although it's getting brighter these days, hewas reluctant to let the girl walk the night road.
In the first place, Airisa's return was delayed because she served Yuzuru for dinner.
"Mr. Takasegawa is surprisingly gentlemanly."
Suddenly, Airisa said that as if she was impressed.
Apart from that, Yuzuru does not see himself a gentleman at all, but "unexpected" is a little regrettable.
"What is surprising? What is unexpected?"
"If you feel uncomfortable, I'm sorry, but ... I casually saw myself walking on the side of the road, and I think there are places like that."
It is the teaching of parents and grandparents to walk along the sidewalk when walking alongside a girl.
The Takasegawa family is just such a house, although it is a little old-fashioned way of thinking that a man must protect a woman ... in view of this time.
"It's a parent's discipline. I have to say that we are a house with old-fashioned values and a feudal climate. If you are a man, protect a woman. Well ... I couldn't practice it when I was on crutches. But "
When Yuzuru said so, Airisa was silent.
The face is slightly down.
The neat appearance illuminated by the streets ... was slightly sunk.
"Maybe I caused a nuisance?"
"Yeah? ... Why?"
"Because of me ... I think Mr. Takasegawa got angry with his parents ..."
In other words, it is against the teachings of the house that Yuzuru, a man, is protected by Airisa, a woman, so it may be that Yuzuru was scolded by her parents ...
It seemed that he had such a concern.
"No way! No matter what, there is no such fossil value. In the first place, my parents are free-spirited. I just care too much."
"... Is that so? That's fine."
Airisa takes a breather.
However, a slight color of melancholy remained in the expression.
She still seemed worried that Yuzuru would be scolded by his parents for his actions.
"Is Yukishiro all right after that?"
"... After that?"
"After the matchmaking, after I got home ... Did you say anything?"
Airisa did not answer Yuzuru's question.
However, her cloudy expression and silence eloquently showed that Yuzuru's concerns were true.
"Have you been scolded?"
"... I'm the one who's bad. Don't worry."
Airisa said in a refusing voice.
It's like pushing something away, creating a wall between her and Yuzuru.
But ... at the same time, it looked terribly sad and painful.
Yuzuru decides that it will only hurt her, saying that even if she steps in forcibly, she will be refused.
However, ge feel that ignoring it is not the optimal solution.
"If you say so, I won't step into your situation."
"It would be helpful if you could do that. No more inconvenience to Takasegawa san ..."
"I don't think it's annoying, though."
Yuzuru said so and interrupted Airisa's voice.
Then Yuzuru doesn't look at Airisa and keeps facing the front ... Speaks like a soliloquy.
"Because I became a fiancé, I'm not someone else in terms of your family situation."
There is nothing that can be done.
Yuzuru tells Airisa that way, and then says it again.
"But I'm not your true fiancée. So I respect your will. If it's a sword, it's a sword. If it's annoying, it's a nuisance. If you don't like it, you don't like it. I hope you can express your feelings clearly. "
After a brief silence, Airisa replied Yuzuru with a clear voice.
"At the moment, I'm not going to ask Takasegawa-san for help. It's a little exaggerated ... I'm sorry."
"Well, that's right."
If Yuzuru went to Arisa's parents to nail her, He doesn't know if they would do what Yuzuru intended.
Unless you're very stupid, that can be terrible if you're stupid.
Airisa will not be able to take such a risk, and Yuzuru cannot take responsibility.
