I want you to marry me!

TL/ED: Bogdi

There was no way Toru could say that he would protect Aino. He couldn’t say such an irresponsible thing.

After the night when he couldn’t save Chika, Toru couldn’t believe that he could help Aino.

However, currently, Toru was deeply involved with her. Aino looks at Toru with concern.

“So, what kind of person was …… the person who was going to be my fiancée?”

Toru had to tell Aino the confirmed result from Fuyuka.

“It was me.”

“Huh?”

Aino’s blue eyes widened. Then, she tilted her head adorably.

Toru explained the situation to Aino.

In other words, Toru, as a member of the Konoe family, would become Aino’s fiancée. And in the future, by marrying Aino, he would be able to take control of Aino’s mother’s company.

That is the goal of the Konoe family.

“Unbelievable …….”

Aino murmured quietly. Toru nodded.

“I can understand your disbelief. It’s just that it’s the Konoe Group that’s not afraid to do these kinds of anachronistic things.”

“No, that’s not it. ……. I was surprised to find out that Renjo-kun is my fiancée. I thought it was an amazing coincidence.”

“Yeah, I was surprised, but…”

“Maybe it’s fate.”

Aino said this and then looked at Toru happily.

“In other words, if Renjo-kun becomes my fiancée, then everything will be fine, right?

“If you say so, yes, but that means you’ll marry me, is that okay?”
 

“It’s not that I want to marry Renjo-kun, but ……”

Aino’s cheeks turned red.

Even if the Konoe family is right and Toru and Aino get engaged, they’re not lovers, they’re just classmates.

I think it will be a lot of trouble.

“You don’t want to be forced to marry someone you don’t like, do you, Luthi-san?”

“Yeah, that’s …….”

Aino fidgeted with her white fingers and looked upward at Toru, embarrassed.

“Well, after all, I think I’d like to marry …… Renjo-kun.”

“Huh?”

“Heh, I don’t mean that in a weird way!　I’d rather marry Renjo-kun than be forced to marry someone else. He’s …… the same age as me, he’s cool, he’s kind, and he understands …… me.”

“I can’t say I understand you, Luthi-san.”

Until recently, they had been classmates who barely interacted with each other, so Toru could hardly say that he understood Aino.

But I knew that Aino was not a lonely, cold girl, but really a timid, shy girl, who could not be honest.

Aino smiles.

“I’m sure you understand what I’m talking about. I’m sure you…… will understand.”
 

“Are you sure it’s me?”

“Yes. I accept my engagement to …… Renjo-kun. No, I want you to marry me, Renjo-kun …….”
 

Aino’s blue eyes sparkled mischievously and she giggled.

Her face was bright red up to her ears, and she had a very beautiful and gentle expression on her face.
