718 Treat it as solved

“Mother, father, I finally have the honor of meeting you. Please forgive me for my appearance.”

After eating our dinner, Nao insisted on kneeling down in front of my parents to introduce herself properly. The girl was wearing a short-sleeved dress that’s nothing short of proper. Her hair was even decorated by a headband to keep her fringes from covering her eyes. Yet this girl asked for forgiveness for her appearance. It might just be her being polite to my parents but it somehow didn’t feel right to me.

Due to that, I kneeled down next to her and lightly squeezed her side.

She almost jumped in surprise but a sly smile touched her lips.

Upon seeing that, my mother laughed. “Nao-chan, you don’t have to be too polite. I’m also glad to finally meet you. How has my son treated you?”

“Uhm… He had forgotten me for two years. However, once I returned to his life, he’s making sure to fill that up with the days he neglected me. I’m satisfied enough to be by his side again.”
