“No, it’s not hot.”

“So, you’re not feeling well? You were coughing a while ago.”

There was a caring look in her eyes.

Please don’t look at me like that, I know you’re worried about me. You’re too kind and I love you for that, but I can’t tell you the reason I just can’t stop shivering; that I’m cringing in fear that you’ll find out I’m hiding your underwear in my pocket.

Ahh… I can’t say that. I am so guilt-ridden.

Wait…

If I look at it in another way… Is this some sort of a revelation…?

I’m not feeling well…!

“Yeah! I’m not ill, but I’ve held back for a while now. Actually, have to use your toilet…”

“Eh?”

“I just thought it would be kind of impolite to use the washroom at your house.”

“Nah, no worries. No need to be so cautious~. I’d better show you where it is then. Follow me.”

“Thank you. That’s really helpful.”

Well, now all I have to do is leave her panty in the room right outside where the bathroom is.

Since it was initially brought by Maro, it would be the safest choice.

Moreover, most of the houses are often designed with toilets and bathrooms usually located right next to each other.

If I drop it casually below the washing machine in the bathroom, it will not be unnatural.

Damn this fatso.

All this trouble is because of him.

I complain and try to wake up Maro, who was curled up in my lap.

I shake him, but he stubbornly refuses to budge. I have no other choice but to lift him up.

He begins to resist by grabbing my pants. What a stubborn bastard!

I put more force in my arms to try to lift him.

And that’s when it happened…

I successfully lifted him up, but… he pulled Haruka’s panty out of my pocket.

“Gyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!”

I screamed.

“Eh…?”

Haruka saw the underwear, which was halfway out of my pocket, and her eyes widened with shock.

“Hiromichi-kun… isn’t that… mine?”

Well, this is the worst! The worst that could have happened!

I need to explain…!

“I’m sorry, it’s a misunderstanding! It wasn’t my fault, it was Maro! It was stuck on his leg when he came into the room! I thought if I left it here, it would cause some weird misunderstanding, so on the spur of the moment, I hid it inside my pocket… I wasn’t trying to steal it! I was just about to leave it in the bathroom, please believe me!”

As I told her the truth, I remembered something…

A story on a news site about a foreigner who was charged with possession of child pornography.

He used the excuse that his cat had taken those photographs without his permission. I wonder if they believed him. At least I wouldn’t believe that shit!

Yes, such stories are unbelievable.

There’s no way she would believe me… there’s no way.

It’s over… This relationship is over…

Ah…

“Oh, so that’s what happened!”

“Ehh?”

“Don’t worry, Hiromichi-kun.”

“Haruka, do you believe me?”

“Of course, I believe in you. I know that Hiromichi-kun is not the kind of person who would do such a thing. I’m your girlfriend and the fact that you thought that I wouldn’t believe you is a bit of a bummer.”

Haruka puffed her cheeks.

She’s not angry, I was just overthinking it…

Haruka really believed what I just said.

She trusts me as her lover.

So, in this vast world, there is someone who has such a positive view of me…

I couldn’t be happier.

The love for the girl right in front of me overflowed from the depths of my heart. It’s so much that I couldn’t breathe… I unconsciously reached out to Haruka.

Ah…

I touched her silky hair.

She was momentarily surprised by this.

[—!]

She closed her eyes and rubbed her cheek in my palm.

I finally understood…

This is the real Love  Signal.

It flows between our eyes. We could feel each other’s signals.

I gently move my hand around her nape and embrace it.

In the spur of the moment…

“Ping pong!!”

“……..!!!!!!!!!!!”

We separated with great momentum.

The excitement recedes as if sprayed with cold water.

We looked away from each other…

“Ha-ha, it was such a great moment, just like that manga I lent you the other day.”

“Oh. Is such a thing possible… in real life?”

“I’ll come back in a minute.”

“Yeah… sure.”

I feel like I’ve just missed a decisive moment.

I was about to embrace her with these hands.

No… the mood was best fit for a kiss.

Argh! Why did the bell have to ring??

It’s infuriating.

I’ll curse them to death if they’re from an insurance company or NHK or something.

My lord! I hope they get kicked to death by a horse.

“Oh, Papa! No, I mean, welcome home.”

Her father?

“I’m home, Haruka.”

“What happened? You never ring the bell.”

“I’m glad I could get home early for the first time in a while. Unfortunately, I forgot my house key on my desk. Thank God you were at home.”

I heard a man’s voice.

If I heard correctly, then…

“Haruka’s father has arrived home.”

.

.

.

“Hmm? I don’t recognize these shoes. Is your friend here?”

“Not my friend, you see, I mean… I told you last time…”

“Oh! Your boyfriend Hiromichi, right?”

“Yes, that’s right. It’s because of exams. I asked him to help me study.”

“Ah! I’m sorry. I guess I’m not interrupting you?”

“Yes, you are.”

“It’s sad to hear the truth from my lovely daughter. Oh right, if it’s like that, I should greet him for the sake of my cute daughter, who always takes good care of me.”

Hii—

I screamed silently at the approaching voices and footsteps.

It’s a sudden development! I’m not ready for this at all!

What am I supposed to say when I meet my girlfriend’s father?

Usually, in this kind of situation, I ask Mr. Google… but I didn’t have the time to this time.

Then, a tall middle-aged man came inside and stared at me through his dark glasses.

“Good evening. You must be my daughter’s boyfriend, Hiromichi, right? I’m Haruka’s father. It’s nice to meet you.”

“Yes, yes! Good evening! I’m Hiromichi Sato!”

I hastily stand up and bow.

I wouldn’t dare to reply to my girlfriend’s father while sitting.

But my mind is blank. Only the sound of my heartbeat echoed in my mind.

What’s about to happen? What should I say to my girlfriend’s father in this situation?!

Well at first, first… ah, ah, ah, ah, ah… Start with a greeting…

“I’ll make your daughter the happiest girl in the world.”

Oops, this is different…?

Well, it’s classic! I mean, it’s like a line from a comic or an anime.

But that’s not what I wanted to say…

“Hahaha! Aren’t you skipping a lot of things? I’d like to hear that line again when you grow up.”

Haruka’s father laughed at the informal greeting that skipped through my thoughts.

“Eh—!”

No… maybe he thinks I’m weird.

“But it’s very good to have a sense of responsibility.”

“What…?”

“Yes. When I heard that my daughter had a boyfriend, as a father, I was worried that what kind of person you’d be, but now it’s a relief. You don’t have dyed hair or any kind of piercings. You look very serious and sincere.”

Surprisingly, my mistake was received favorably by her father.

Come to think of it, Haruka was also happy when I mentioned that I was coming over.

These two, father and daughter, were kind of similar.

“I’m glad to see you. I was wondering how to deal with you if you had gold or red hair. A boy who dyes his hair and has piercings is definitely not a good guy, especially at your age.”

“…”

“What do you think, Hiromichi? I was thinking of taking my daughter out to dinner since I haven’t been home early in a while. Would you like to come with us? It’s almost time to go.”

When I looked at the clock, the time was around 6:30 pm.

Before I knew it, quite a lot of time had passed.

But,

“Thanks for the offer, but my family is waiting for me…”

I refused.

She didn’t know about this invitation… and has already started preparing dinner for the two of us.

It’s too lousy for someone who just wants to have a meal. Even if it’s an invitation, I just can’t waste her cooking.

Anyway, I’m still uncomfortable about the idea of having dinner with my girlfriend’s father.

It’s time to go home…

“Well then, I’ll take my leave.”

“Oh, I see. It’s fine if you think that. It’s important to have a good time with your family. We’ll have a meal another time. Haruka, take Hiromichi to see him off.”

“Yes…”

So, I went home after parting with Haruka.

She waved her hand, I lost sight of her gaze, and then fatigue hit my body.

To be honest… I’m exhausted.

It’s the first time I’ve been to my girlfriend’s house, then hiding her underwear, and finally, meeting her dad.

A lot of things happened all at once. It was a tough day.

Well, I’m glad he’s a kind person, just like Haruka.

Now that I think about it, my father’s also Shigure’s stepdad… and I’m truly relieved that there are no similarities between those two.

It’s just that he’s that kind of person…

“A boy who dyes his hair and has his ears pierced is definitely not a good guy, especially at your age.”

His stinging words filled with disgust left a strong impression on me.
