Himegi-san a Bride from the Future Begs Me to Confess My Love to Her Again - Volume 1 Chapter 2.6

Date 6

“Credit cards are likely unusable too. The only option for now is borrowing money from my parents.”

“I really don’t want to do that. Oh, I know! Maybe we can sell this for money?”

Seemingly struck by an idea, Touka-san attempted to retrieve something from her brand-named bag.

“Tou-emon, what are you going to take out from your future pocket this time?”

“I’m sure you’ll be surprised.”

That’s what she said.

Honestly, I can’t imagine what could come out of that bag, but I’m sure I’ll be very surprised when I see it.

“Here it is.”

Then, she took out a card about the size of playing cards from the bag and placed it on the table.

“-???”

I had prepared myself to be flabbergasted, but what I saw was far from what I had imagined.

Honestly, I felt a bit disappointed.

“Te-te-teree~! It’s a Monster card!”

Unexpectedly, Touemon followed up on my previous setup with the same joke.

I was a bit surprised that she actually had a comedic side.

By the way, her imitation of Doraemon was unbelievably terrible. But, right now, that doesn’t matter.

“This is a card from a popular card game, isn’t it?”

Nostalgic. I used to collect these a little bit back in elementary school.

The card placed on the table was a very famous Dragon Monster card that even someone like me could recognize it.

“I confiscated this from a certain guy.”

“A certain guy?”

“It’s a pitiful prince named Hakuba Ouji, but to my surprise, he was actually trying to engage in sugar dating.”

“S-sugar dating?!”

Oh come on, Future Me, what are you doing…

Also, that disturbing word is still in use six years from now.

“By the way, this card is worth a hundred thousand yen.”

“A hundred thousand yen?”

“Yes, without my permission. You’ve always been loose with your wallet strings, or rather, you’re a bundle of material desires.”

” ….. “

I can’t seem to refute her complaints, so I decide to remain silent.

Even if it seems cowardly, it’s best to keep my mouth shut here.

“That’s why, ever since we started living together, I’ve been managing the money, but that guy, by hook or by crook, sneaks things past me and secretly buys stuff like this…”

Touka-san stared at the rare card with a look of exasperation.

“Anyway, I’m selling this card today.”

“Huh? Even though it was purchased with my money?”

“Yes. Any problem?”

She won’t let me refute her. Touka-san glared at me with a stern expression.

“What’s mine is mine, what’s yours is mine.”

She seems to be more of a Gian than a Doraemon.

From this exchange, I can easily imagine what the power dynamic between my future self and Touka-san is like

“Even if you want to sell it, you’ll need parental consent. I’ll download the consent form for you later.”

“I see. So, I’ll be a minor right now. In that case, this driver’s license won’t be usable either.”

With a disappointed expression, she took out her driver’s license from her wallet.

I gazed at the driver’s license Touka-san held in her hand.

The driver’s license had ‘Touka Himegi’ written on it.

I see——

Himegi-san’s birthday is on December 25th.

The address listed must be her parents’ address. If that’s the case, it’s quite far from my house.

Oh, she also has a license for driving small motorcycles…

Looking at it this way, a driver’s license contains various pieces of information.

The most noticeable among them were the expiration date for renewal and the date of issuance.

Both the expiration date and the issuance date were several years ahead of the current date.

“…you really are a time traveler…”

“I’ve been saying that all along, haven’t I?”

“It would have been better if you had shown me this license from the very beginning.”

“You would have insisted it’s a forgery if I showed it to you.”

“Well, I guess I wouldn’t have easily believed it.”

“In that case, don’t you think showing you the video of that wedding is the best option?”

“Being told that, I can’t argue. Anyway, the purpose today is to arrange for money and essential items for daily life. While we can get most things online, it’s better to purchase items we need immediately in person.”

And we also need a replacement smartphone.

“Yes. After finishing breakfast, let’s head out for shopping.”

So, with that settled, Touka-san and I set out for a shopping trip.

***

In general, I spend most of my days off at home.

In other words, I’m a complete indoor person.

Building PCs, assembling plastic models, and practicing magic tricks—these three activities make up my routine on days off.

However, there’s a place I occasionally venture to on my days off. That place is a large shopping mall.

It’s located a bit outside the suburbs, not very convenient. But we were headed to that place.

“First of all, clothes,” she said.

Apparently, the set of clothes I lent her didn’t suit her taste.

To tell the truth, we had a lot of trouble getting to this shopping mall.

I thought about it, and it made sense right away.

If by chance she encountered someone she knew—if she happened to run into herself—the outcome was easy to imagine.

It would undoubtedly lead to chaos for sure.

So I insisted to Touka-san that I would go alone.

I told her that I would go shopping and purchase the items we needed alone.

However, my advice fell on deaf ears, and she dismissed it.

Touka-san confidently stated, 『I’ve only been to that shopping mall a few times, so there’s no chance of me running into myself. There’s no problem at all.』

Even so, I didn’t back down and advised her, 『It’s also not good to meet acquaintances other than yourself.』

She chuckled and said, 『Don’t worry, I have a secret plan,』 with great confidence.

In the end, I gave in, and things went according to her wishes.

I had always thought she was strong-willed, but I never imagined she would be so stubborn.

Nevertheless, even seeing such troublesome aspects of her personality, my fondness for her didn’t diminish; on the contrary, I found myself falling for her even more.

Love is really something that can make people irrational.
