My Classmate Whom I Helped Seems to Be Mentally Sick, So I've Been Trying My Best to Hide My True Identity, But It Seems Like I've Been Found Out - Chapter 63

Right now

“Hayate-kun, you must be tired.”

“Yeah. But it’s fine because Sumire’s parents were nice, and they got along well with mine. Feels like we could get married anytime now.”

“Geez, you’re making me blush. But I’m happy. I feel so blessed.”

Summer vacation had passed the Obon festival.

Recently, I met Hayate’s family for the first time with my parents who were on their Obon vacation.

I suspect their friendliness stemmed more from their eagerness to marry me off than anything else.

In contrast, Hayate-kun’s parents were nervous.

They forced a strained smile, as if it were a marriage meeting, but they praised me all the time.

And with that, it’s over.

I’m going to go far away with Hayate-kun.

Dependence on someone is, in essence, an escape from something else.

In my case, it’s from my family.

It’s strange for a child who can’t live without depending on their parents to want a child with someone else.

But I depend on Hayate-kun.

And he can’t be apart from me.

That’s okay.

That’s good.

We’re not alone anymore.

Everything started that day.

The day he appeared before me as Momo-nyan.

…No, that’s not right.

Maybe since the day we were born.

We were destined to be together.

“Hayate-kun, I want to move out after summer vacation ends.”

“Sure. First, we need to save some money. I’ll work hard at my part-time job during the summer vacation.”

“Yeah. I want a spacious room. And somewhere quiet.”

“It’s crowded everywhere around here.”

“I want to go far away. Just the two of us.”

I tell such lies.

But he nods without hesitation.

Just the two of us, far away.

Hehe, that’s a lie.

Because we’re not just ‘two’ anymore.
