Chapter 71: Wait

“Graduate high school and then get married?”

Yagi Miyuki’s polite smile on his face suddenly froze.

Hey, hey! Shouldn’t you at least discuss this major decision with me, the person involved? And aren’t you thinking too far ahead? Talking about marriage when nothing has even started yet?!

“Uncle Sakura.”

After being surprised for a moment, Yagi Miyuki quickly regained his composure, adjusted his glasses, and said diplomatically, “Isn’t this inappropriate? At the moment, we should be focusing on our studies. We have college after high school. Moreover, Sakura Manyu and I… we haven’t reached that stage yet.”

Actually, he could be more firm about it, but considering that his childhood friend just cried a lot, and her mood is probably still unstable, he decided not to say anything that could upset her.

“Oh?”

The smile disappeared from Sakura’s father’s face. He scoffed and said, “Yagi Miyuki, let me be straightforward today. A few years ago, you made Sakura Manyu upset for quite a while, and I didn’t trouble you for it. Now, you two are on good terms again, and I have no objections. But if you dare make her sad again, well!”

“No, it’s not like that…”

Hearing Uncle Sakura’s cold laugh that clearly had a threatening tone, Yagi Miyuki felt a headache coming on. He carefully chose his words and said, “Uncle Sakura, you can’t make such a rash decision about this, right? At least hear us out.”

Although Sakura’s father seemed to be working in book publishing, he had the physique and the hair color common among juvenile delinquents, and he wore a black suit. He looked a bit like a mafia member. It was quite intimidating when he got serious.

“I’m willing, I’m willing!”

Upon hearing this, Sakura Manyu jumped up, raising her small, delicate hand high. The joy on her face was evident to anyone.

“Hehe, it seems like the result is very clear.”

Sakura’s father, who was an editor but seemed like a gangster, chuckled, “Getting married after high school and then going to college together, that’s not bad, right? You’re really lucky.”

Then he looked at Yagi Miyuki’s father and said, “Sohyon, what do you think? Is this okay?”

“Um…”

Yagi Sohyon pondered for a moment and said, “Although it’s up to the children to decide on their matters, this is also… well, not bad.”

“Right.”

Sakura’s father nodded in satisfaction and looked at Yagi Miyuki again, “The discussion is over, and the result is clear. You don’t have any objections, do you?”

“This…”

Yagi Miyuki slightly furrowed his brows, pondered for a moment, and cautiously said, “Uncle Sakura, discussing this matter now seems a bit premature. How about we talk about it later?”

A great stalling technique!

“Heh heh, Miyuki, don’t give me that vague talk,” Sakura’s father shook his head and said sternly, “We have to come to a conclusion today; otherwise, I can’t trust you with Sakura Manyu. Either you agree, or you should not have any relationship with Manyu beyond that of friends. Or, to put it bluntly, cut off contact.”

“Uncle Sakura…”

Yagi Miyuki’s face stiffened, caught between a rock and a hard place. Well, he was not exactly caught between two options; there was no way he would agree to cut off contact with Manyu.

What troubled him was Sakura’s father’s firm attitude. He couldn’t possibly agree to his demands at this point.

“I have to say, Mr. Sakura…”

Yagi’s father, a lawyer, also seemed uncomfortable. Just as he was about to speak, Sakura Manyu stood up first.

“Dad, let’s hold off on this for now.”

“Hmm? Manyu, you—”

Sakura’s father was momentarily stunned.

“Phew…”

Sakura Manyu took a deep breath and smiled sweetly, “Don’t put so much pressure on Miyuki. Let’s focus on our studies for now, and we can discuss this matter later.”

“I…”

Sakura’s father seemed at a loss for words. After a while, he shook his head and said, “Fine, fine, let’s go with what Manyu says. But—”

His gaze sharpened again as he looked at Yagi Miyuki, “If I ever find out that you’re treating Manyu poorly… heh heh!”

Yagi Miyuki: “…”

Could you stop with the “heh heh”? When did Mr. Sakura develop this habit? Was it something recent?

“Ah…”

Looking at Miyuki, who seemed to have breathed a sigh of relief, Sakura Manyu felt a little disappointed. But she soon mustered a smile and muttered to herself, “It’s a bit of a pity, but it’s okay. Even if I succeeded in pressuring Miyuki into agreeing, it wouldn’t last for long, right?”

“That was close.”

Michako, who had been silent all along, also exhaled. Had Manyu not spoken up in time, she would have had to intervene. After all, if her brother had agreed, then she would have felt cornered!

“Oh, there’s one more thing I haven’t told you all since you just got back.”

Sakura’s father suddenly added, “I have to go to Chiba shortly and won’t be back until tomorrow afternoon. Your Aunt Sakura is also out on a mission. So, could Manyu stay at your place for the night?”

“Uh… of course.”

Yagi Miyuki didn’t give it much thought and casually nodded his head.

In the past, his childhood friend, Sakura Manyu, practically lived at his place, so spending the night was nothing out of the ordinary.

“Uncle Sakura, we don’t have a spare room at home right now, so why don’t Manyu and I share a room?” Michako suddenly suggested, looking quite obedient.

“Yes, that’s what I had in mind,” Mr. Sakura nodded and gave Yagi Miyuki a meaningful look. “Miyuki, you and Manyu aren’t children anymore. It wouldn’t be appropriate for you two to share a room like before, right?”

“You’re absolutely right, Uncle Sakura,” Yagi Miyuki agreed wholeheartedly. “I was thinking the same thing.”

Although they used to share a bed all the time, the idea of doing so now was somewhat difficult for him to accept. After all, they were high school students and not in a romantic relationship, so sharing a bed would indeed be crossing a line.

“Alright, then. It’s about time.”

Sakura’s father slowly stood up and said to Yagi’s father, “I have to go to Chiba to push an author who has been procrastinating on their manuscript. I’ll take my leave now.”

“Okay.”

Yagi’s father also stood, his rigid face forcing a small smile, “I’ll take good care of Manyu, don’t worry. Let me walk you to the door.”

After watching the two parents leave, Yagi Miyuki glanced at his expressionless sister, Michako, and then at his childhood friend, Sakura Manyu, who had a subtle smile on her face. His expression slowly turned strange.

Hmm, I should probably lock my door tonight.

And so… night fell.
