Sweet Cohabitation Romcom With My Senior Girlfriend and Alcohol Starts At Twenty - Volume 1 Chapter 8.7

◇Interlude◇

“A proper relationship, huh…”

The next morning, as I was up early as usual making breakfast, I mulled over my father’s words from yesterday.

“Make sure you maintain a proper relationship with her.”

I couldn’t help but feel annoyed at those words directed at Takashi-kun.

My father thought he knew him without knowing anything about him.

He was just rejecting everything outright, casting a prejudiced view not only on me but also on the person I liked.

How could he possibly understand the good in Takashi-kun?

The person I like is only understood by those who try to understand him.

He’s the type whose charm you only feel when you accept him and try to get closer.

To someone who doesn’t try to understand, Takashi-kun’s qualities will remain unknown, and it feels like it’s hard to make an effort to explain to such a person.

“Ah, what should I do…”

I never imagined my father would be the type of person I have trouble with.

Normally, I wouldn’t care and would just keep my distance, but I don’t want to treat my father that way.

After all, he’s one of the two parents who raised me.

That’s why it’s frustrating that he doesn’t understand.

“…I don’t want to be interrupted again.”

A bad idea suddenly crosses my mind. I know it’s wrong in my head.

But I can’t stop it. The more I think about it, the more I want to act on this impulse.

It’s not that I want to trouble anyone. I just want to be alone with Takashi-kun.

That simple wish lends a sense of reality to my bad idea.

“Today is Sunday, and tomorrow is a holiday…”

I check the calendar and calculate the minimum amount of time we can spend together.

The more I think about it, the more unstoppable my thoughts become.

There’s no reason left to stop.

“Well, I’m sure I’ll have fun wherever I stay with Takashi-kun!”

As the rice cooker chimes, I make up my mind to go somewhere far away without telling my parents.

If I want to snuggle up with Takashi-kun without anyone disturbing us, then a bold move is necessary.

It’s okay. After all, I’m an adult, not a child anymore.

“Ehehe, I’m looking forward to it~”

For breakfast today, it’s dashi chazuke.

It’s a special chazuke seasoned with the saltiness of yesterday’s failed attempt at buri daikon.

It’s my way and a manifestation of my feelings to put an end to yesterday’s matter.
