99. Uguisu’s Worst Day
*
Today was a really bad day. I don’t need to explain why. Was there a worse day in my life than the day my precious husband, Sora-san, went on a date with another woman for work?
Even though we haven’t had our first date yet, Sora-san has already experienced the classic movie theater + shopping course with another woman. Sora-san must have known that I longed for such a date. I’m very sad.
But it’s not something a third-rate wife would do to scream and blame Sora-san. Of course, I won’t do anything so rude. I understand that men who work have a lot on their plate. I’ve done my research on the internet and other sources since I started dating Sora-san seriously. I understand that there are times when men have to talk to women they don’t like for work. That’s what it is. I understand.
So what I should do is not to blame Sora-san or make him cry by being upset, but to simply comfort him when he’s tired from work. I will do my best to support Sora-san, who is working hard for me. It’s the ideal form of a married couple.
“Good work, Sora-san.”
After confirming that the pathetic pink color that had been treated kindly out of obligation had left, I spoke to Sora-san from behind.
“…Huh!?”
Sora-san, who was illuminated by a streetlight that was out of place in the still-bright residential area, stared at my face with his cute eyes wide open.
I didn’t intend to show my face to Sora-san today, so I just put on some light makeup, so I was embarrassed to be seen, but I decided to stop.
I can understand that he wants to heal his eyes, which have been tired from looking at a woman he doesn’t even like all day, by looking at his beloved wife’s face. I should be the one to endure the embarrassment here.
“Uguisu-san, why are you here?”
“I surprised you, I’m sorry. Actually, I’ve been watching Sora-san all day.”
“Wha!? Does that mean…”
Fufu, Sora-san is cute when he’s flustered. He must be worried that I suspect him of cheating.
“I saw everything. I saw you meet up with Ishizue at the station, go to the movies, have lunch, and go buy a swimsuit.”
“….”
“Don’t worry so much. I understand everything.”
“U-understand what?”
“Everything.”
Sora looked anxious. It’s true, it’s not easy to imagine having a partner who understands you so well.
“I know everything.”
When I answered again, Sora opened his mouth timidly.
“Why, that. Since when?”

He must have been really surprised. He couldn’t hide the anxiety and confusion on his face.
“I believe in Sora’s kindness, purity, and love. It’s hard to say why, but if I had to, it’s because I love Sora from the bottom of my heart. I’ve known everything from the beginning.”
“I-is that so… I mean, I’m sorry, but I can’t apologize for this.”
Sora shrank like a scolded child and bowed deeply to me. He’s really kind.
“You don’t have to apologize. Sora did nothing wrong.”
“That’s not true! I hurt Uguisu, so it’s not like I did nothing wrong!”
“…It’s true that I was sad because you didn’t explain anything, as if you didn’t trust me. But it was Sora’s kindness that made you think I would be hurt if you told me, right?”
Anyone would feel bad if they were told that their partner was going on a date with another woman, even if it was for work. Sora was trying to hide it from me so that I’t get hurt. That alone makes me feel loved .
“That’s not it. It’s not kindness, it’s just that it was hard to say…”
He’s being modest. That’s why he attracts so many women. He’s a real sinner. But I love Sora, who is so clumsy and kind.
“…Sora, look at me.”
Sora looked like he was about to be crushed by guilt, so I gently approached him and my palm gently touched his cheek as if it were being drawn to it.
Sora’s eyes widened in surprise as he touched my face, which was flushed and had tears in my eyes. Ah, so this is what I look like when I’m with Sora. It’s the face of a woman in love. It’s kind of embarrassing .
“Uguisu…”
A quiet street, the setting sun, lovers who have sworn their future to each other. Naturally, their eyes met and they could see nothing else. What a romantic world. Sora, who is already handsome and cute, looks a hundred times more radiant .
“I understand everything, so please tell me the truth.”
Sora nodded slightly, looking apologetic.
I’ll listen to everything, and then I’ll gently hug him and say, “I forgive you everything” and “I love you.” It’s not exactly the ideal situation, but I’m sure today will be our first time.
“I’ve fallen in love with Momo.”
“…So, our first kiss.”
….Oops, did I get some noise?
“I should have told Uguisu everything first, I’m sorry! I’m going to start dating Momo. So Uguisu… about the marriage…”
“Excuse me, I didn’t hear you very well.”
“I’m going to start dating Momo. So please break up with me! I’m so sorry to say this so suddenly!”
“…I can’t hear you very well.”
A tingling sensation ran through my fingertips as they touched Sora. What is this?
“I didn’t think Uguisu would know… Ah, no, I didn’t mean to cheat on you if I didn’t know. I mean, I didn’t know what to prioritize when this happened so suddenly, and I didn’t know what to do with myself. But, I’m the one who’s wrong. I know. I’m the worst kind of guy who would trample on Uguisu’s feelings. Hit me as much as you want!”
It’s not just my fingertips, my whole body is tingling. What is this? It’s like energy is wandering around looking for a place to go.
“What can I say… Ah. I should have worn a suit.”
Maybe I should follow Koshiba’s example for when the time comes.
