When I Asked My Sensei Who Was in Her Thirties to Let Me Take Responsibility for My Actions, She Bro

“I’ll go make coffee for us.”

“Thank you.”

Sakuramiya-sensei stood up and headed to the kitchen.

Now, let’s focus on revising the sentence.

“Do whatever you want with this marriage certificate by the time this letter arrives” Will this be good?

No, it feels twisted. What should I do? Let me stretch my body.

“Ah!”

“Huh? Wh-why are you behind me?”

A soft sensation spreaded through my body.

When I looked behind, Sakuramiya-sensei was trying to peek at my letter but she leaned a little too much and ended up hugging me.

Sakuramiya-sensei blushed hardly, her white cheeks bright red and she looked around nervously.

“Sorry. I was so focused on writing, and I got curious about what you were writing, so…”

“I told you not to look, didn’t I?!”

Uh oh… This is bad.

I didn’t expect anyone to see it now, even though it’s supposed to be seen a year later.

I was sweating profusely as I thought she might have read all the contents of the letter.

Sakuramiya-sensei turned her gaze away and scratched her cheeks awkwardly while repeatedly apologizing.

“Um… When you submit it to the office, you need personal identification documents and other things besides the marriage certificate, so it’s not enough with just that.”

She made a really valid point.

She’s usually a klutz, but at times like this she’s strangely reliable. It only made me feel more impatient.

I wanted to disappear into a hole. My face turned red enough to start a fire… But now that it’s come to this, I have to make up my mind.

I can’t back down now…

I stood up from my seat and faced Sakuramiya-sensei.

“…Yumi-san.”

“Yes, wh-what is it?”

“Recently, I’ve been doing an internship at Souji-san’s request.”

“Huh? Y-yeah, I know.”

Sakuramiya-sensei looked bewildered because the direction of the conversation changed abruptly.

But I continued slowly without paying attention to her.

“Working is tough… Just imagining whether I can work as a full-fledged member of society in the future is burdensome… I don’t have the financial ability to support anyone now, and I don’t know much about society either… I know that I’m too inexperienced to get married so soon.”

Taking Sakuramiya-sensei’s hand, I stared intently into her eyes, and said seriously and earnestly.

“Still, I want to marry you, Yumi-san. Will you marry me…?”

“…Is that okay?”

“Of course. Besides… you mentioned it before, didn’t you? That you like children.”

“I-I did.”

“Well then, there’s no time like the present… I mean, I’ve already made you wait quite a bit.”

“Minato-kun…”

We gazed into each other’s eyes and Sakuramiya-sensei embraced me tightly.

Silence descends, but it’s not an uncomfortable one.

And then, as we unconsciously draw closer… the moment we were about to kiss…

“…Shiina is here!”

The door to our apartment suddenly bursts open.

Sakuramiya-sensei and I froze in an instant.

The living room fell into silence.

Shii-chan looked at us without saying a word. Oops… this is awkward.

Then suddenly two more girls appeared from the main door.

“Well, this is good timing.”

“Mii-kun… what are you doing?”

It’s none other than Kaede and Shinozuka-san.

I couldn’t hide my surprise at their sudden visit.

Did the intercom not ring? And why are they here at his place…?

“I’m sorry, Minato. I thought maybe we were going through a rough patch, so I thought I’d drop by.”

“Hold on. How did you get in? The door was locked…”

“I’m a magician, remember? Opening a door lock is child’s play.”

“That’s a crime!”

It was a straightforward case of illegal entry.

“What are you doing here with that innocent face?”

“K-Kissing… M-Minato, you’re such a flirt! I-It’s ridiculous!”

“Well, you came in on your own, didn’t you? And we’re dating, so a kiss is nothing.”

“At least think about the location!”

“It’s my own home!”

Kaede spat out the words. It was a baseless accusation.

The sweet atmosphere that had just filled the room was now gone, replaced by an uneasy tension.

Concerned about the situation, Shii-chan suddenly spoke up.

“Minato-nii, are you going to marry Yumi-nee?”

““…Ehh?!””

“…..”

The living room fell silent instantly. Shii-chan raised the marriage certificate, which had been left on the table, in both hands for everyone to see.

But this silence was temporary. It was clear that an explosion was about to happen.

Shinozuka-san and Kaede both turned to me at the same time, pressing me for answers.

“W-What’s going on? Marriage is a lie, right? I haven’t made any moves on you yet!”

“Minato! I didn’t hear anything about marriage! What’s going on? You’re not getting married, right? That marriage certificate is a fake, isn’t it?”

Their expressions were fierce.

This situation was really bad.

I let out a small sigh and covered my forehead with my right hand, contemplating what I should do in this situation.

〈The End〉
