Masho no Otoko wo Mezashimasu

"Grandpa, I brought my partner with me today."

Hmm.

Grandpa Shino-san nodded and stared at me. I feel like I'm going to be under pressure in that line of sight, but I think I need to be a good partner, so I put up with the attractive face, smile beautifully, and say hello.

"My name is Amber Kushino. Today, I took it to Donghuain-san's invitation, and I thought you might be arrogant, but I kindly offered to disturb you. Thank you very much."

That's what I said, keep your head down.

If I don't raise my head until I can speak up, my grandfather will speak up.

"Hmm, I want you to raise your head."

It's a voice tone that's soaking up your heart. When you hear the words and finally raise your head, you can continue to speak.

"I am Toyohiro Donghuain. I am glad that a child like you will join us as a partner in poetry. I want you to have fun today."

"Thank you."

I said thank you, but my grandfather glanced at me.... why are you staring so hard? Could you stop it?

"Ah, um, what?

"... no"

What's the first silence?

"Oh, I don't mind if you come back."

When he heard the words, Shino lowered his head.

Yes, I'm leaving now.

I also bow my head and say my exit greeting.

"Thank you very much.

Ah.

After that, I leave my grandfather's room and come back to the room I was in, and I finally get nervous.

"I'm nervous."

When I say that, Shino-san reacts to it.

"I did better! I was wondering what Amber would do if he didn't approve!

However, I'm glad to be admitted ~, and I'm feeling relieved.

"What? Was that good?

"Yeah! Yeah! That was a great impression!

... I feel like I'm just having a formal conversation.

"I've never seen my grandfather have had such a positive conversation with the person he met before."

Is that a favor...? Well, it was more normal than I thought. At first, I thought people might say, "It's a good thing that people come here”...

Was there something you liked? I'm just saying hello normally...

Well, whatever it is, it seems to be good. In the meantime, have we crossed a mountain? I feel a little relieved.

After that, it's live... Well, at the party, it seems that you should smile beside Shino-san. Is that okay?

Then, when I was talking to Shino in the room for a little time before the start, it was a good time, so I decided to go to the venue.

As soon as I entered the party venue, I began to greet Toyona-san, the grandfather of Shino, whom I met earlier.

Everyone who was at the venue had eyes on you, so it didn't stand out at the same time as the entrance.

Nonetheless, the people at the venue are listening seriously to Grandpa. You might say it's a man, but you also earn respect as a businessman. At the end of the grandfather's story, a strange woman with brown hair began to greet him, more or less like Shino, so he would probably be his mother.

"Shino-san, that guy's mother?

Yeah, that's right.

"Are you glad you didn't say hello before we started?

"It's okay, Mom was busy preparing, and I couldn't take the time."

"Well, shall we say hello later?

Yeah, can I ask you something?

Speaking of which, the greeting ended and the toast was picked up.

When the toast is over, the venue gradually becomes noisy.

First, I tried to greet Shino-san's mother and approached her, but she was already surrounded by many people.

Wow, you're surrounded already.

When I said so, Shino-san said that she was fine.

"At first, I have to go to the greeting with my mom. I'm sorry about Amber, but you're going to have to hang out around the greeting."

"Oh, yeah, I got it."

"But don't worry, just stay next to me."

I nod at the words.... but are you sure you want to just lie down? Well, it's better than doing something extra and causing trouble.

Well, I think it would be better to smile than to keep the top of the Buddha, so let's try to smile.

"Mother."

While I was thinking of such a thing, Shino-san called his mother.

In response to Shino-san's call, her mother came towards us.

From a distance, I could only understand it somehow, but it is very similar to Shino-san. No, is Shino-san similar in this case...?

"Oh? Oh, my God."

The mother of Shino-san who came here took my hand and kissed me like that.

It's too noble!

When I was deeply impressed, Shino's mother murmured to me.

"I wonder, can you spare me some time after the party? I want to have dinner with you."

Since dinner is naturally out at this party, I guess my invitation is ”how about overnight”.... This invitation is in the hall, and I'm just impressed.
