The Hashimoto Rena

The More Loving

Following their steps, Yusuke took Rena's hand and the two walked together.

Rena's heart was pounding until she couldn't get used to it even if she was with Yusuke repeatedly.

"Yusuke-kun, aren't you offended by Mama's words?"

"I'm not offended."

"Really?"

"Yes." Yeah."

Rena wasn't sure what Yusuke was saying was true, and Rena was sure Yusuke still felt uneasy.

"Yusuke-kun, please be honest with me without lying. I won't feel uncomfortable if you're honest."

"I'm fine baby, don't worry anymore."

They arrived at the city park and there were quite a number of people in the park now and Rena saw Yusuke who was just smiling leaving Rena with mixed feelings.

"Yusuke-kun, don't walk too fast."

Yusuke looked over and smiled.

“Your legs are too short."

"My legs aren't short, I'm actually quite tall!"

Feeling the warmth that was different from the scorching heat of the approaching summer, Rena felt embarrassed as Yusuke's hand touched her cheek.

"Why are you so embarrassed when I put my hand on your cheek, are you getting excited?"

"... not passion, but you bother me like this, you're insensitive."

"You're getting prettier by the day, you're growing up, who's making you grow up?"

"You're the only one who made me grow up, who else ..."

Yusuke pressed his lips against Rena's forehead.

Rena was surprised by Yusuke's sudden action.

"Rena Rena-chan's mouth drools."

"Hmm, uh,"

Rena rubbed it quickly.

"Lied!"

"Kink..."

The most curious thing when eating ice cream is the appearance of Minami and Ayumi.

"You guys dating?"

"Don't make fun of them. You're so mean."

Unlike Ayumi who dislikes Yusuke's jokes, Minami smiled awkwardly.

Ayumi was annoyed at the ice cream that fell on her shirt and smiled faintly at Yusuke, Rena, and Minami.

Yusuke told Ayumi.

"You're too focused on your phone. You'd better stop playing on your phone while you're doing something else."

"Yes, it's my fault for not focusing..."

'I don't know why it's different than before, being aloof.'

Yusuke sees many changes in Ayumi's attitude. This is evident when compared to Ayumi who was now like a different person.

On the way home in the afternoon, Ayumi's attitude changes into a conversation leading to Rena's house.

"So, Yusuke-kun, do you think Ayumi is really getting weird?"

"Yes, I think he's too weird. As I recall, Ayumi used to be very cheerful and open-minded."

Rena is always jealous when her lover is close to another girl, but every time Yusuke tries to help someone, Rena admires him a lot.

"If Yusuke-kun wants to help Ayumi, I will help Yusuke-kun ..."

"I'm surprised you said it like that. Honey sounds funny at the end of a sentence that wants to help me."

Rena smiled as her cheeks turned red, and she was thrilled when Yusuke praised her in such a unique way that she had something thrilling.

"You've been so shy lately, what are you thinking?"

Rena replied with a faint smile.

"I don't know why I'm so embarrassed to be around Yusuke-kun."

"I know why you're ashamed near me."

Rena looked up with satisfaction.

“Do Yusuke-kun know the cause?”

"That's because you're a pervert."

Yusuke smiled happily.

"... you are a pervert."

"Hahaha, the victim is angry."

Rena lightly patted Yusuke's arm.

"And you did it."

"And you're the victim who loved the culprit, right?"

"Well, I'm not me—"

Rena is speechless.

***

On an ordinary night, given the distance as thick as a wall, for the first time Rena felt very sorry.

Rena regretted not being assertive, and was afraid not to obey the orders of her father and mother.

"It's okay because we can sleep somewhere else, so we can't sleep together anymore."

Rena clenched her hands in excitement.

"Then we have to get used to it from now on."

It all started when the two came home from a date and at dinner Rena's father told Rena to respect herself more and be as polite as ever.

Rena thought it would not be difficult, but something unpleasant happened because her father who had a rough and hard attitude had returned to his old self.

Feeling that her father's attitude change was too drastic, Rena asked affectionately and spoke carefully.

"Papa, is there something wrong with Yusuke-kun? Doesn't Papa like Yusuke-kun?"

"i like it. I don't think he's gonna be like that."

"I mean Papa?"

“I guess what I thought was the right choice."

Hashimoto Handa looked at Rena and asked.

“Do you have many memories with Nakajima?”

"That's a lot, but why does it sound bad to say that Papa asked about our memories..."

"You've changed a lot. I thought Rena's behavior would be the same, but that's too much."

"It's not Yusuke-kun's fault, it's my fault..."

Hashimoto Handa said while holding his daughter's hands.

"I can't guarantee Nakajima will stay with us if you're no longer polite to your Mama, understand?"

With such expectations, Rena airily numbered her love, and worked hard so that Yusuke could stay home.

"Let me sit down, Mama."

"... thank you."

The restless Yusuke helped Rena a lot with homework. Tired of being too self-imposed, Rena had only one way to recharge her energy.

Rena is asking to let go of her fatigue, hugging her warmly and lovingly, and she smiles happily as Yusuke actually stays at her house.

"I will always be with you. I work hard, Yusuke-kun, praise me."

"Thank you for the effort. You're my sweetie and my lovely lady."

"It's all my fault. If I wasn't a fool, this would never have happened. Yusuke-kun won't feel uncomfortable. I'm afraid you're leaving."

Yusuke lowered his head and leaned on Rena's left shoulder.

Rena smiled and patted Yusuke's back gently.

"It's okay, don't be sad ..."

"..."

Yusuke said in a low voice, "You're very kind. It is clear that your love is beyond my love for you. You're trying so hard that I might not."

Yusuke still said, "I'm really a burden to you."

Rena interrupted, not liking what Yusuke said, "Don't say that, I don't like you saying that."

Rena with a nervous attitude, dared to speak firmly to Yusuke.

"Although not married, as a fiancee, I have already considered Yusuke-kun to be my husband."

Yusuke closed his eyes and tears streamed down his cheeks, and Rena looked at him with a worried expression, but her heart was warm.

"Don't cry, Yusuke-kun really doesn't fit in crying..."

"I cried happily. You are the perfect wife. You are my strong wife. You learned so much to satisfy people like me."

Rena wanted to talk, but stuttered.

"Why does the last one sound like I'm a pervert..."

Rena smiled and stroked Yusuke's cheek.

"You are what you are, funny and annoying, naughty, perverted, and I love you~"
