Ch.24 Discussion About Wedding Ceremony. Mahiro is Cornered

After realizing that Mizuki's father (whose name is apparently Uishi Shigeharu ja) was indeed Mizuki's father, we started speaking normally.

"Well, first of all, what should I say? Congratulations on your marriage. It's a little late, but I hope Mahiro-chan and Miho-san will continue to get along well with us in the future."

"The pleasure is all mine."

"...Why am I the only one being called by my first name with the '-chan' suffix ja?"

"Mahiro-chan looks too young to be called 'san.' Well, isn't it fine? At the very least, that's how Mizuki calls you, right?"

"Yes!"

"In that case, I'll just call you that too."

...That is what he says, but I suspect he simply likes my appearance and is a lolicon, which is why he calls me by my first name with the "-chan" suffix.

I mean, well, his face looks a little relaxed.

...Right, now that I think about it, this guy will become my father-in-law.

Having a pervert as a father-in-law is kind of weird, is it not...? Well, even if I say that, my own parents are pretty crazy too.

"I never imagined that Mizuki would marry a little girl who looked like the character in the thin book she had... You never know what's going to happen in this world."

"True."

A thin book, you say?

How did she even get her hands on those thin books? She is supposed to be a rich girl, is she not? Even if she did buy them, there seem to be a lot of problems involved...

"Speaking of which, I heard from Mizuki that you're going to build a new house for us..."

"Ah, that. Of course. If Mizuki likes the person, I won't spare any expense. If it's a lovely girl like Miho-san and Mahiro-chan, I won't build anything shoddy."

"That is very kind of you, but... are you sure? I feel like the burden is falling mostly on you noja..."

"Haha, it's alright, it's alright! I do it because I like it, so don't worry about it."

Would you look at that, he is a cheerful old man, contrary to his appearance.

He has slicked-back hair, wears sunglasses, and has a big scar on his face. Plus, he is huge. He seems to have a lot of muscle; he is incredibly well-built.

Yet, whenever he opens his mouth, he talks about being a lolicon, and he's a cheerful old man who laughs a lot.

Well, I am grateful that he seems like he would be easy to get along with.

"You can look forward to your new home. I'll make sure to prepare something that you both will love."

"Thank you very much."

"Thank you ja."

"No problem. ...So, about the wedding date..."

"Mu, Are we really having a wedding ceremony!?"

"Of course. Right, both of you?"

""Of course!""

"Ehhhhh..."

Are we going to do the ceremony? Seriously? Really?

...For me, just getting registered is all I need though...

Also, we are still in high school, and we are still doing it? I find that incredibly troublesome.

"Mahiro, don't you want to have a wedding?"

"...Honestly, 'tis a hassle."

"That's so typical of Mahiro-chan."

"Well, 'tis a real hassle, you hear me? I mean, you see, a letter to my parents? I cannot write one. I have no talent for writing, and besides, my parents are crazy, and above all, they hardly ever spend time at home. They even rented an apartment near their company and live there, neglecting me because I am a boy, you know? How am I supposed to be grateful? In my case, my grandfather was practically the one raising me ja."

"Oh... now that you mention it, Mahiro's parents were pretty strange."

"Were they really that strange?"

"They are strange ja. I mean, my parents threw away all the boys' clothes I wore as a child and kept only the girls' clothes from when they dressed me in girls' clothes, you know? And when they heard I had developed 'TSF Syndrome,' they dropped everything and came home from important work. I am grateful to them to some extent, but I do not know if I could write it in a letter if they asked me to..."

"Certainly, that might be a bit difficult."

Now that I think about it, I have been doing housework on my own since I was in elementary school...

They were often away from home, so ultimately I was the one who had to manage things.

If I do not clean the house, it gets covered in dust and makes it hard to sleep, you know? For me, sleep is the most important thing ja. I really do not want an environment that interferes with that.

"But I always pictured the bride giving those kinds of speeches."

"That's true. When I see it on TV or on video sites, I don't see the groom doing it very often. Is it being cut out?"

"Well, there is a certain 'whatever a man says' aspect to it. But actually, what was Mizuki's father's speench like noja?"

"Me? I was asked to give a statement of intent, as a way of representing myself and the company. My wife was the one who gave those kinds of statements."

"It seems like it's really tough, given the family circumstances."

"Not really. I've wanted to take over the company ever since I was a child. I meticulously crafted that statement of intent, which resulted in the company growing even further, so there's absolutely no problem."

Rich people are different in many ways.

I am just from an ordinary, average family.

I do not understand how they feel at all.

"But, even if we were to have a wedding ceremony... would we not be a bit unusual? After all, I have two wives now..."

""Not wives, it's husbands.""

Do you want to be the husband that badly?

"No, I am obviously the husband here."

"What are you talking about? Mahiro-chan is most definitely our wife, in terms of your wifely qualities."

"That's right. Even if Mahiro doesn't work, Miho and I will support you, won't we? Besides, you're basically passive, aren't you? Like in bed."

"Hey, who says that in front of their father?!"

They are saying something absolutely outrageous!

Sometimes I wonder, does these people have no sense of shame whatsoever?!

I may not be in a position to say this, but still!

"I see, I see. So you've already had your wedding night. My daughter has grown up so fast..."

"Why are you getting all sentimental?! That is not something you do when your daughter is having an affair noja!"

Could you please stop making that slightly emotional expression?!

Also, why is this guy shedding a few tears?!

"Mahiro-chan, it wasn't an affair. An affair is a physical relationship with someone who is not your lover or spouse. We did it after we submitted our marriage registration, so it wasn't an affair. If anything, it was more like marital relations."

"Realize that you are saying something outrageous! And in front of your father, no less! Do you not have any sense of shame?!"

"I'd be embarrassed to talk about the details of the act, but other than that, I feel nothing in particular."

"Are you a pervert?!"

"How rude. I'm a lady."

"So, a perverted lady, is that it?"

"You're really rude!"

But no matter how you look at it, in this girl's case, the word "pervert" is bound to be attached to the name of a lady.

I mean, the fact that she can say something like that in front of her father is pretty strange, even I would not be able to say something like that.

It seems like my sexual preferences have been exposed though!

"Anyway, Mahiro-chan is very passive. Very passive. Yesterday, she was completely exhausted from my and Miho-san's attacks."

"Could you please stop saying things like that?! 'Tis really embarrassing for me, you know?!"

"But actually, Mahiro was amazing yesterday. Despite saying things like 'I don't like it' and 'Stop it,' her body was honest."

"You are joining in too?! Please! Stop telling those embarrassing stories! 'Tis really embarrassing noja! I will do anything, just please forgive me!"

Overwhelmed with embarrassment, I pleaded with them with tears welling up in my eyes.

I am generally not very shy, but 'tis really embarrassing when people talk about my sexual experiences!

I do not mind telling it myself, but I absolutely cannot stand it when someone else do it!

""Huh? You just said you'd do anything, right?""

"…………Ah."

Drats! I was so embarrassed that I blurted out something terrible!

Damn, I am having such bad luck today!

That was a slip of the tongue... I wonder what I will be made to do...?

I was feeling quite nervous inside,

"Okay, let's have a wedding ceremony."

I was told to have the wedding ceremony.

"...Huh? Are you okay with just that?"

The content was so unexpected that I was left speechless.

I thought that these two would probably try to get me to do something even more outrageous...

It was more ordinary than I expected.

"What do you mean, 'just that'? A wedding is a lifelong memory, isn't it? Of course, we want to have one."

"...Well, 'twas just too much of a hassle, but if you all really wanted it, I would have to reluctantly agreed..."

"That's good then. Your earlier statement will be useful."

Mizuki said this with a bright smile.

"...Mizuki, what do you mean by that?"

I have a bad feeling about this.

"With that being said, Otou-sama, please limit the wedding dress to one."

"Understood. I'll arrange it."

"Wait a minute, Mizuki. What do you mean by one dress? Do we not need two for both you and Miho?"

"What are you talking about?"

"…… Eh?"

"Mahiro-chan will be the one wearing the wedding dress, you know?"

"……………………Huh!?"

I was so shocked by what was said that I involuntarily let out a surprised cry.

What are you talking about?!

"Well, since Miho and I are going to become the grooms, then Mahiro, the bride, should wear a wedding dress, right?"

"That logic sounds a bit strange, do you not think!?"

"I would have liked to try on a wedding dress, but actually, I was also a little interested in a tuxedo."

"Wait, Miho! Tuxedos are meant for men noja! I do not think 'tis something a woman would normally want to wear!"

"What's the big deal? Anyone can wear whatever they want. I mean, isn't it fun? It's not the men who wear tuxedos, it's the women! It's sure to be a memory you'll cherish for a lifetime."

"Would a normal wedding be just fine?! I think I would look good in a tuxedo!"

I do not want to wear a wedding dress!

Because, a dress that is pure white, fluffy, and frilly would look like it would be difficult to move in!

Also, it looks like it would be a pain to put on!

"What are you talking about? It's precisely because we do something special that it becomes a memorable experience."

"First of all, just getting married while still in high school is already special, is it not?! Do not try to make it special in any other way!"

"But Mahiro-chan just said you'd do anything, didn't you? Surely that wasn't a lie? Or are you going back on what you said?"

"Uuu..."

"Mahiro would lie from time to time, but surely you're one to always keep your promises."

"Well, I've heard that Mahiro-chan is a bit lazy and prioritizes sleep above all else, but you also cherishes your friends and family. So I naturally assumed that you would keep you promises to me and Miho, your husbands, but..."

"Ugh..."

""Ahh, what a shame...""

"Ughhhhhh..."

They mercilessly stab my heart with their words...!

Indeed, I am someone who keeps my promises ja.

But... but!

Even I, with all my experience, cannot wear a wedding dress...!

""I think Mahiro (chan) would make a wonderful wife... but if you can't even listen to your husbands' requests, I think you're very narrow-minded... *glances*""

Unununununu.

"O-Okay, I get it, I get it noja! I just need to wear it, right?! I will just wear it ja!"

""Yay!""

Bang! The two exchanged high-fives with big smiles on their faces.

Ugh, I never thought I, a former man, would end up wearing a wedding dress...

What is more, these two mercilessly inflicted damage on my mental state in the process...

Could it be that I am being bossed around by these two...?

"It looks like the discussion is over. So, we'll take measurements for the three of you right away. The ceremony will be held on a day that suits each family's schedule. We'll take care of the communication, so until then, you can live as you please. As for the house, construction has started today, so please don't worry."

That was quick work...

Sigh... A wedding dress, huh...

I somehow feel incredibly depressed right now...
