Machete Style Anime

At this moment, Yoshino seemed to have fully made up her mind. She put her arm around Yoshina Junior, her right hand clenched tightly, and her lips were turning blue from being pressed so tightly together.

"She was seriously injured and ultimately could not appear in front of Yoshino again due to ineffective treatment. As a result, the Yoshino Junior amulet that Yoshino made by hand to repay the Yoshino gift from her mother could not be given away."

At this point, to prevent his girlfriend from becoming overwhelmed with grief, Kasugano Mirai also recounted the actions of the medical staff at the time.

"Yoshino's mother only has Yoshino as a family member. She had to tell you about this."

"However, neither the doctor who treated Yoshino nor the nurse who cared for you could bear to tell you this cruel truth."

"They really couldn't tell a girl who had been bravely fighting against her illness the news of the death of her only relative."

"Just as the hospital staff were struggling with how to tell Yoshino the truth in a tactful way, Yoshino disappeared from the ward."

Upon hearing this, Yoshino immediately knew the answer.

—Presumably, it was around that time that she received the spirit crystal from the Primal Spirit, transforming from a human into an elf, which is how she survived.

"Yoshino's disappearance caused a huge commotion in the hospital. Many people were afraid that you had learned about your mother's death through other channels and wanted to die with her. They joined forces with the police to search for you for a long time, but of course it was all in vain."

……

……

……

And with that, the story is completely finished.

Yoshino leaned against her boyfriend's chest, her eyes closed, her breathing steady, as if she were asleep.

Kasugano Mirai looked at Yoshino and found that the other was also looking at him with a blank expression.

He immediately realized that even Yoshino was unaware of her current situation.

What about Yoshino herself?

As mentioned before, when she heard about her mother and the origins of Yoshina and Yoshina Junior, something seemed to start stirring inside her.

After Kasugano Mirai finished telling all the stories, like the last straw that broke the rope, all the memories sealed by Takamiya Mio were restored, and she found the relevant scenes in her memories of all the stories her boyfriend had just told.

What follows is the suppressed emotions that have nowhere to be vented.

"Waaaaaaahh ...

First came soft sobs, then it turned into a cathartic shout.

Recalling all her memories, Yoshino was already sobbing uncontrollably, her torrential tears soaking the front of Kasugano Mirai's clothes.

Feeling the dampness on his chest, he said nothing, but tightened his grip on his girlfriend's arm.

After an unknown amount of time, Yoshino trembled as she raised her left hand and looked at the rabbit doll she was wearing.

"I'm sorry... I... I forgot for so long... Even though Yoshina—Mom... has been protecting me all along."

At this moment, Yoshino didn't show her signature mischievous smile. Instead, she slowly shook her head like a mature woman and then patted Yoshino's head.

"It's good like this now."

"As long as Yoshino grows up healthy and happy, that's better than anything else."

At this moment, her voice and the touch on her head felt like her mother to Yoshino.

She involuntarily hugged Yoshino, along with Yoshino Junior who had been in her arms, and burst into tears.

"I am such a happy person."

Born to a gentle mother, raised in a loving environment, and now I've met like-minded friends and loved ones.

Sadness and pain, along with an immense joy that was no less intense than these two emotions, intertwined in her mind, causing Yoshino to weep incessantly.

When the girl finally calmed down and began wiping away her tears, she remembered a question and asked it directly: "Since Mom has always known the truth, why didn't she tell me?"

After learning the truth, Yoshino also dropped her pretense, and even her voice became more mature and composed.

"Because Yoshino has finally managed to forget the pain of the past, how could I bear to let you recall those unpleasant memories again?"

She glanced at Kasugano Mirai and continued, "Now, Yoshino has found a boy who loves and cherishes her, she has grown a lot, and she has the ability to know the truth."

"Since you want to know, Mom won't keep it from you any longer."

Naturally, Kasugano Mirai was not unmoved by her mother-in-law's words.

"Mom, please don't worry, I will definitely treat Yoshino well from now on."

"I certainly believe that."

Yoshina gave a strange smile.

"After all, I've seen Yoshino's performance over the past five years as well."

“Aside from being a bit of a womanizer, I can’t find any fault with him in other aspects.”

What can Kasugano Mirai say when her mother-in-law calls her a womanizer?

What the hell does he dare say?!

At this point, playing dead is the best course of action!

"Pfft~"

Seeing her boyfriend's timid appearance, Yoshino's face lit up with a bright smile.

Compared to before, this smile has more childlike innocence and simplicity, more mischievousness and relief.

Kasugano Mirai looked at the delicate face in her arms, with two faint blushes on her cheeks and the corners of her lips curving upwards.

It was a smile that one could never forget, a smile that seemed to have stunned the world.

Chapter 173 The Coming Summer Vacation [4k]

It was late at night when Kasugano Mirai and Yoshino returned home, but the living room lights were still on. Tokisaki Kurumi and Nanami were sitting on the sofa with their heads together, already asleep.

Both of them could tell that the two people at home had fallen asleep while waiting for them to come home.

After a busy day at work, having someone waiting for you with a lamp lit up your home is a feeling that is truly indescribable for Kasugano Mirai and Yoshino.

The former walked up to his two girlfriends, bent down, and prepared to carry them back to the bedroom.

Perhaps it was the shadow he cast as he walked in front of them that startled them, or perhaps they sensed his return.

In short, Tokisaki Kurumi and Nanami's long eyelashes trembled slightly before they slowly opened.

Seeing her boyfriend appear in front of her, Kurumi Tokisaki yawned: "Now that you're back, we should go back to our room and rest."

The reason she and Seven Sins hadn't slept until now was to wait for the two of them to return. Now that their goal had been achieved, it was time for them to go back to their rooms and rest.

As for where their boyfriends took Yoshino today or what they did, they wouldn't ask.

If Yoshino doesn't mind people knowing what happened today, they can still learn the truth from her tomorrow.

It's okay if you don't tell anyone; it's not strange for friends or couples to have their own little secrets.

Seven Sins didn't say a word, and went upstairs to his room in a daze.

Seeing this, Kasugano Mirai and Yoshino said goodnight to the two of them.

“o ya su mi~”

Immediately, the two went to the bathroom side by side.

What followed was naturally a joyful experience, something that cannot be told to outsiders.

…………………………………………………………………………

The following day, after learning about Yoshino's experience from her, even though Tokisaki Kurumi and Nanami didn't say it explicitly, Kasugano Mirai could still sense the subtle resentment in her two girlfriends' eyes.

Although the three girls had discussed this issue beforehand—that Yoshino would marry on Tanabata (Gregorian calendar), Nanami on Tanabata (Lunar calendar), and Kurumi Tokisaki on White Christmas—they still felt a pang of sadness upon seeing the wedding photos on their friend's phone.

But if you ask them to urge their boyfriends to go with them to take wedding photos right away, they are a little reluctant.

After all, this kind of thing is all about romance and naturalness; deliberately pursuing it only makes it less desirable.

Faced with the resentful looks from her two girlfriends, Kasugano Mirai decisively went into the kitchen.

He was already aware of the agreement between his three girlfriends.

Since the time hasn't come yet, there's not much he can do; he can only strategically avoid the situation.

Fortunately, both girlfriends had returned to normal by breakfast time.

"Summer vacation will be here soon, right?"

Kurumi Tokisaki's sudden topic attracted the attention of others, and Yoshino and Nanami's little ears were already perked up.

The two little ones haven't forgotten that their boyfriend promised to take them to the beach this summer.

"Ah."

After slowly sipping a bowl of miso soup, Kasugano Mirai nodded gently.

Summer vacation at Japanese schools usually starts around mid-July, with an error margin of no more than a week.

Yesterday was the Qixi Festival, which falls on July 7th in the Gregorian calendar. Schools that started their holidays early have already begun their holidays yesterday or today.

Soubu High School, as a key high school with a high college entrance rate in Chiba, does not start its holidays as early as other schools, but it also does not deliberately delay the start of the holidays.

After all, Japan promotes a joyful approach to education.

While they don't teach anything at all, students usually enroll in tutoring classes outside of school if they want to get into a top university or their desired university. However, in Japan, these tutoring classes are usually referred to as private tutoring schools.

Ambitious children will go to private schools to study after school, even if they don't have holidays; for children who are preparing to work after graduating from high school, these few years are their last time to indulge themselves.

Because the school is aware of these inside stories, it never deliberately delays the start of the holiday.

—Exceptions apply to special circumstances.

Kurumi Tokisaki stirred the miso soup in her bowl with a spoon to cool it down quickly, and asked seemingly casually, "What are your plans for the upcoming summer vacation?"

Upon hearing this, Kasugano Mirai immediately recalled the promises she had made with her previous girlfriends.

He quickly finished the remaining miso soup in his bowl, wiped his mouth with a tissue, and then said, "Apart from the beach trip at the end of August, I have no other plans."

Upon hearing this, the three girls' eyes showed a hint of joy.

As the saying goes, good fortune never comes in pairs, but misfortunes never come singly.

Soon, they received another surprise.
