...You'll Never Know What's Going to Happen In Life...
Hitotsuba Electronics. Japan's global electronics manufacturing company is celebrating its 100th anniversary this year. The company's business is not limited to household appliances, but also includes renovations, electric vehicles, teleportation and infrastructure development.
“My father, Kazuhiro Hitotsuba, is currently the fourth generation president. In the current era the family heritage system may be a bit old fashioned, which is why fathers plan not to follow such traditions anymore. This means you have to be very prepared if you want to follow in my father's footsteps, okay?”
Death penalty. This is a clear death sentence for me. I can understand that once you enter the workforce, you must devote yourself to your work. However, I never expected that as a first-year High School student, I would be told that I would have to work hard to become president of a company with tens of thousands of employees.
“Ka you're going to college. Yes, at least it should be a national or state university. But it does not matter if it is your personal choice as long as you do not go to a foreign place.”
“But if I go to college, I won't be able to work for your father, right?”
“You want to work? Do you mean to waste time with part-time jobs and club activities? Or do you want to join a drinking club or a dating club for fun? No, could it be that you want to be cared for and nurtured by good-natured senpai at your part-time job despite having me in your life?”
I thought you'd know without me saying it, but I didn't say anything. I was just asking if I could work at my father-in-law's while I would be preoccupied with college matters, because I thought I'd be by the president's side once I graduated High School. After all, she said that I would work for her after I became her daughter-in-law.
“Yuya-kun, all you have to do is tease me. Regardless of my appearance, I am a hardworking person. I'm sure I can live up to your expectations and desires, no matter how unique the fetish Yuya-kun is. So don't do that with another girl, okay?”
“Ah, yes. Of course.”
If someone as blankets her looks up and winks at you, you will have no choice but to agree! How else can I answer?
Still, there are unanswered questions. I'm not sure if it's a good idea to ask this after hugging her and crying, but there's something I need to know.
“Hei, Hitotsuba-san. Why are you trying to help me? I don't think we have much interaction, do we?”
“Yeah, it's true that Yuya-kun and I didn't talk much in school, but I kept watching you know. Especially, in the soccer team training after school.”
There are some things I've been doing since I was a kid. One of them is football. However, the Meiwadai High School football team is not that strong. My position is striker, but I never seem to receive the ball. The reason is that our football team is very weak in midfield.
“Every time the sun goes down and everyone is home, there is only one player who keeps kicking the ball alone. Every day, day by day. He never gets bored. He always kicks the ball towards the goal, and he has an attitude I don't usually see in others.”
“…”
“This guy is not like me. I think he's able to work hard with all his efforts. I can't do anything like that. And then, strangely enough, before I knew it, I had been constantly watching the boy. I support him. I hope that his efforts will pay off someday.”
But that effort never came to fruition. I was dreaming of a national tournament, but as a result our team lost in the third round of the regional tournament. All my daily training never came to fruition.
“But the boy did not despair over his defeat. The next day he kicked the ball back alone, as usual. Though I thought that the boy would take a short break or stop training by himself again. Yes, you are an amazing person with a strong heart who never gives in to despair. My heart is glued to your charm.”
“No matter what you say. I have fallen in love with your sincerity! Before anyone else sees your charm, I want to make sure that you will only see me!”
I am very happy that Hitotsuba-san, who was chosen as the blanketed High School girl in Japan, really appreciates me. I never thought that he would fall in love with me for always kicking a ball like a moron every day. But since he likes me from a distance, it means I don't know anything about him. So if you ask me if I like it, my answer is: 'I don't really know'.
“Thank you for telling me how you feel. It's nice to be liked by a pretty girl like you, Hitotsuba-san. But I still don't know you very well. So, I can't give you an answer to your current feelings. “
“It's okay. In fact, that's why you were my first love. You can't answer because you don't know Hitotsuba Kaede; you don't accept me just because of my appearance. And with such an answer, my love for Yuya-kun skyrocketed even more!”
I wonder if that is the case. It's just that I think it's important to know who that person is before you fall in love with him. At least in my mind, my criterion for falling in love with a girl is whether it's fun to be with her and whether she wants to show her true self to me. There was also the question of whether the party was able to see and understand my inner workings, Yoshizumi Yuya, properly. Otherwise, relationships will quickly fall apart when people start dating based solely on looks. Well, in my case, I can't let that happen.
“Fufufu, even though I was a bit too pushy, your defensive crushing strategy worked. I don't know how yet, but one day I'm sure I'll make Yuya-kun say, 'I like you', and kiss me. Then I will push Yuya-kun down and.. guhehe..”.
So in his delusion, it was not me who pushed him; but Hitotsuba-san who pushed me down huh. And also, a girl your age should not be pouring water carelessly while saying “Guhehe”! It's a waste of your beauty! This would destroy the public's perception of the dignified Hitotsuba Kaede.
“Yeah.. I'm not sure what to say, but I think I've learned something new about you. There's a big gap between you at school and at home.”
“Every human wears a mask,. It's the same for you, Yuya-kun. Although I'm not sure if that's you realize it or not, but the current you and yourself while playing football are two different people. Of course, what I mean is something positive.”
I don't really know myself, but my friends often tell me that I look like a different person on the football field than I usually do. I was made aware that I could be a little aggressive and selfish, but I wasn't sure if that was the right term to describe me.
“If it is done unnoticed, then of course you will not realize it. By the way, which personality do you think is the mask and which one will be the real me?”
“I don't know yet. You can be as cute as you are now, or you can be as cool as you were at school. Well, I have no way to judge which is your true nature, so to borrow your words, I guess we'll know that later.”
I admire Hitotsuba-san because she is dignified, cool, and reliable even though she is a girl. Also, I find it funny when he makes a silly face when he is immersed in his fantasies or when he blushes in shame.
“Yes you are right. I also want to find out more about Yuya-kun's favorite foods, favorite female types, sexual habits, favorite poses, and more. So, let's do our best together, okay? By the way, my favorite pose is..”.
“Stop! Let's talk about that next time. Let's get to know each other more normally first, okay?”
Whenever there was a chance, he would just throw a bomb at me with a straight face, and I would never be able to process it properly! Besides, if it was just that, then I wouldn't be too confused, but if you said it with a shy expression while slightly averted your eyes, my heart would explode! I even wanted to guess that this was all part of your calculated plan!
“Good. I was just kidding. Yuya-kun, it's time to start packing. We will move after packing all the necessary items.”
“Moving? Move where?”
“Isn't it clear? To our love nest. “
Whahuh? Did this living together begin today?
