second date and supporting a friend.
[takuya's pov]
"The island's Bon-Odori competition?" - I heard nagasumi talk while I was resting, dodging nakajima's attacks is more tiring than it seems.
"Yes. Takuya why don't you invite san-chan and go dance?" - Mr. Naga recommended me and I nodded.
"Your grandmother participates every year" - listen to grandmother michishio speak to nagasumi.
"Allowing san-chan and takuya to get married and now they are planning their dates" - I heard nagasumi sigh as she said it.
"If they keep doing this they will become rebellious" - he said again while he sighed.
"Takuya, phone" - I heard Mrs.sumi speak to me.
"I'm coming" - I got up from my comfortable place to start walking towards the phone... I miss smart phones.
"Hello?" - I said while I could hear san's voice from the other side.
"Hello san-chan how are you?" - I asked while she answered me and then she asked me the same thing that Mr. Naga was suggesting to me.
"Bon-Odori. Sure, I was about to ask you the same thing" - I said as I watched the michishio family give each other a thumbs up for their job of making me and san get along... this family.
"Well, I'll see you there, bye" - I said while listening to her say goodbye and I hung up the call.
"..." - I stared at them and then sighed and went back to lie down in the place I was before.
'I have to train my aura, I can't do much apart from covering my body and covering the object in my hand, besides I have little aura I can barely maintain it for a few minutes before it runs out' I sighed as I tried to find a way to increase my aura.
'I think I'll go to meditation, it always works' - I decided to do that, so I went to a secluded place without much noise and started meditating.
[Time after]
"Takuya-san" - San spoke as he turned to me.
After waking up from my meditation I headed here, I got a little better in my control... not much, but it's better than nothing.
"Hello san-chan" - she greeted her while she gave a smile.
"For some reason whenever we see each other I only wear yukata, right?" - She said as she smiled.
"But it's different from the previous one, you still look very beautiful" - I said while giving my compliment... I think it was good. (+1 I think it was fine.)
"Thanks, he's one of my mother's old ones" - she smiled as he told me.
"Hello... son-in-law-san" - I felt someone forcefully grab my shoulder... it turned out to be my father-in-law.
"Father-in-law and mother-in-law" - I said as I felt the strength of the grip increase.
"I'm very happy that you came when san asked you son-in-law-san" - she said but she didn't look happy at all.
"Hahaha of course father-in-law, anyway I was going to invite her too, but she beat me and invited me first" - I laughed ignoring that I'm hardly feeling my shoulder. How much strength does my father-in-law have?
"HONEY" - mrs.ren yelled at my father-in-law as he pushed him away...I can't feel my shoulder.
"Takuya-san, he was very sorry about what happened on your last date with san, it was all my husband's fault" - Mrs. Ren apologized as she pulled me into her arms. no, please another no, I've had enough with mrs.sumi.
"Please forgive him, yes"
"Please make summer memories with our saint and keep them in her hearts"
"After all your mother approved her love"
"Anything you do, don't feel guilty about anything" - she finished while I was inventing a mantra trying to reach divine serenity... seriously, please, I'm a 13-year-old boy.
"WHAT WAS THAT, I DID NOT RECOGNIZE THAT" - shouted my father-in-law... wasn't he the one who was calling me son-in-law before?
"Ah, I was remembering the yukata that san is wearing" - she said while he smiled with his hand on his cheek and his eyes closed... I don't want to know.
"When I first came to Bon-Odori with you wearing that yukata, it was the first time that I" - she kept talking while I wanted him to stop... I don't want to know anything.
"STOP" - shouted my father-in-law embarrassed... yes what he said.
"In front of san tu..." - he said while he looked at her without believing what she was going to say.
"It was my first time, what happened?" - asked san without knowing what they were talking about... how innocent, well he's 13 years old it wouldn't be strange if he didn't know... even though I hope I'm wrong.
"San-chan..." - I said as he looked at her with eyes that said "you don't want to know".
'Now speaking seriously... possibly it was just a kiss' - I thought trying not to imagine anything.
"BOSS" - listen to the voice of mass.
"Hello masa" - replied my father-in-law with low spirits.
"We have to go to a place quickly, the elders are waiting" - he said while my father-in-law sighed.
"Well, we should go to another place together" - Mrs. Ren said as she said goodbye.
"Come to think of it, you and your parents are mermaids, you guys are living with humans aren't you?" - Ask curious.
"The director is a mermaid, I can go if I can hide it" - she replied as we walked through the place.
"As long as I don't get wet I can keep my human form" - she said as I nodded, normally it's rare for someone to get wet... well I haven't seen someone get wet so often.
"..." - when I was turning my gaze towards her, she had returned to her mermaid form because water had fallen on her.
"Miss, are you alright?" - asked the lord.
"...excuse me" - I said as he grabbed her and looked for a place without many people.
"Dry my tail, if you dry it it will change to human legs" - she said while passing me a handkerchief.
"Okay" - I said as I began to remove the water with the cloth... I would like to use my aura to dry it faster but I could end up burning it... I don't have much control.
As she wiped the water off her tail, she was making sounds and saying words that don't go with what I'm actually doing...if I wasn't the one doing it, I'd confuse him.
"Wow, kids these days don't look for places" - I heard Mrs. Ren's voice.
"San... san" - as soon as I managed to hear my father-in-law's murmurs... I'm dead, right?
"BASTARD, WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING RUBBING SAN'S LEGS" - I heard him yell at my father-in-law only to see him come towards me with not very good intentions.
"My legs are back" - San spoke while watching masa-san hold my father-in-law.
"I WILL KILL YOU" - he shouted without a bit of nervousness that someone will listen to him... please, that someone has listened to him and they take him prisoner, at least one day.
"YOU MISUNDERSTANDED IT, BOSS" - said masa-san while trying to hold the beast back from committing a homicide.
"HE WAS DRYING SAN'S LEGS THAT GOT WET, PLEASE CALM DOWN" - he said while my father-in-law calmed down a bit... I'm saved from the crazy beast.
'Person who gave nagasumi his first kiss' - I stared at him with a look of gratitude... so, in the end he was a good person.
"What, I wasn't groping san" - she said while looking disappointed.
"..." - I stared at her while wondering if there was someone normal in this world... who am I kidding, there is nothing normal in a world where there is someone who can save the planet with a fall.
"LIKE A WORM, IT TOUCHES A GIRL'S FEET WITHOUT ANY CARE" - he said while clenching his teeth.
'But, if I was doing it carefully...' - I thought, in the end I had only activated my aura a little to heat the fabric a little more and dry her tail faster without hurting her. It's not my fault her reaction.
"THE EARTH SEEMS TO PICK UP SOME DUST, WE WILL PUT A LITTLE WATER"
"EVERYONE STAY AWAY PLEASE" - hear the megaphone.
"San-chan..." - I was going to tell san to get away from her but she is far from me.
"stay back or you're going to get wet" - she told me... it's nice that she worries but she should be more worried about herself... I didn't turn into a mermaid when she wet me.
In that a person used a hose and made the water into the air... seriously, it goes straight to san.
"Why is he coming here" - he said as he tried to move away as fast as he could.
"I have you" - I said as he quickly removed her from the place
"San-chan..." - was going to speak, but...why, I feel something soft on my right hand...damn anime world.
I quickly get out of the place when I feel imminent danger and... my survival instincts saved me this time.
"KYYYAAAAAAAAAA" - San gave a scream that created a crater in the ground... if it had been there, I don't think I would have lived to tell about it, since I'm not the protagonist of a comedy that would only come out with a serious injury but would live.
"Ah, I'm sorry takuya-san" - after seeing what she had done, she apologized and searched the place but didn't find me.
"I didn't know that the voices of the sirens could make sound attacks" - I said as I felt a mini ringing in my ears... good thing it wasn't head-on.
"When I was surprised I used my supersonic voice" - she said.
"(Sigh) at least I dodged it" - I said everything I had "supersonico" as a name, it's bad for humans like me.
"Takuya-san just wanted to help me and I" - began to speak while he could get sadder.
"Hey, don't worry so much, I managed to dodge it, I'm not hurt, so don't worry"- I said while smiling, apart from the buzzing I'm fine, I won't bother with something that half of my fault is mine. my hand acted alone, it's not that I didn't realize it before and even so I squeezed… no, they're wrong.
After that while we were seeing that everything is already starting I realized that san was still depressed, I had noticed before but I thought it would pass... I have to act faster.
"San-chan, are you still depressed about what happened before?" - I asked as I got a little closer to her.
"When I'm with my friends, I'm usually spontaneous, today it just caused you problems"-she said sadly.
"Don't worry, I didn't get hurt, besides, I'm having fun here with you so don't worry... come on, how about I give you a glass sculpture" - I said as I pulled her towards the stall that sells the sculptures.
"But, that could be rude" - she replied.
"Don't worry, I want to give you a gift" - I said while she waited for her to choose.
"Well, in that case" - she agreed as she started looking
Some time later she had already chosen and I had paid... she, chose a ring.
"Are you okay with that ring?" - I asked, I really thought I would choose something else.
"I don't know" - she answered confusing me.
"... How you do not know?" - I asked with a slightly ironic laugh... you don't know if what you chose is right?
"You don't know, but look"
"The fourth finger of the left hand is the place for the wedding ring, isn't it?" - she said as she showed me her left hand... oh I half understood.
"It would be wonderful to see what everyone will think when they see me at school" - I keep talking... I think they will think that he got married while he was on summer vacation or that's what I would think.
"Yes it would be fun to watch" - I said as we both started laughing.
After that the dance started and san was in the circle where the women were dancing.
"Mmmm" - I turn my head to the left because I think I have heard masa-san.
"Nagasumi..." - I said nagasumi's name, when I saw him with masa-san, I try not to think anything bad... but, in the way the two are together it doesn't stop seeming strange to me.
Now nagasumi is learning how to dance with masa-san, but masa-san is grabbing him from behind and nagasumi looks like an idiot right now, i can't help but think otherwise even knowing what they do.
"Nagasumi... I, as your friend, will support you no matter what you choose to be" - I said as I placed my hand on his shoulder and gave him a "I support you" look.
Nagasumi froze and masa-san walked away a bit, seriously these two.
"Takuya..." - I try to speak but san came to where we were.
"Takuya-san what's wrong?" - he said after arriving and seeing nagasumi and masa-san.
"Nothing, I'm just supporting my friend" - I shook my head as I moved away from nagasumi just in case.
Nagasumi ran off while shouting that he had been misunderstood.
"NAGASUMI-SAN..." - masa-san called out nagasumi's name as she watched him run.
"(sigh) I need some fresh air, finding out about this from my friend left me a bit shocked" - I said as he walked away... actually I wanted to leave but I was looking for a good reason.
San followed me and after reaching a secluded area I suddenly heard san's cry.
"The ring that takuya-san bought me...it's gone" - she said as I looked at her and the ring really wasn't there.
"I have to find it" - he said as he started looking.
"It's just a crystal ring, don't worry so much about it" - I said without thinking... and after thinking about it, I can't help but think about the stupid thing I just said... seriously.
"Is it really okay, not to worry about our marriage, just because it's a crystal ring" - he said making me want to punch myself for saying that. seriously sometimes I can be a total idiot in this feeling stuff and I thought I was getting better.
"It's just a crystal ring, but, but it's important to me" - she continued while I let her speak, she needs to express what she thinks, it will be the best in the long run.
"I DECIDED FOR MYSELF. THAT I WAS READY TO GET MARRIED"
"BUT IT'S NOT EASY, I'M DOING THE BEST I CAN TO KNOW TAKUYA-SAN" - she finished shouting as tears came out of her eyes... I really really want to hit myself right now.
"Come on, excuse me I spoke without thinking, we're both doing the best we can to get to know each other, we're both new to this you know" - I said as I approached her and placed my hand on her cheek and wiped away her tears.
"How about we both search for the ring, two people searching will be faster than one, right?" - I said as I walked away a little and began to search the ground.
"If takuya-san finds that crystal ring, without doing anything, misfortune will befall the name of the mermaids"
"IT IS WRITTEN LIKE CHIVALRY AND IT READS LIKE MERMAID" - she shouted while I tried to look for the ring... seriously, as Mrs. Ren said, she can be stubborn, what's wrong with me finding it first?
"What are you guys doing?" - I heard mrs.ren's voice while she was searching.
"Well..." - I said to start explaining what happened.
"The crystal ring, do you mean this one?" - She said as she showed the ring... coincidences.
"How is it that you…" - San asked as she stared at her mother in surprise.
"We found it over there" - Mrs.Ren laughed as I approached and took the ring from her.
"Here…" - I said as she placed it on the fourth finger of her left hand…I can't miss this opportunity with my father-in-law here.
"Ara..." - Mrs. Ren said while placing her hand on her cheek.
My father-in-law was paralyzed on the spot.
"It's a great memory, when I used that kimono it was the first time that your father bought a ring and proposed to me" - he said while at the end he closed his eyes as if he remembered the moment.
"Seriously" - I said surprised. so that's what happened.
"ANY PROBLEM WITH THAT?, BESIDES I WILL NOT ALLOW MY DAUGHTER TO MARRY YOU YOU HEARD ME WORM" - shouted while he had his hands grabbing my shirt... I can see his ugly face, father in law.
"Of course not father-in-law, besides, I'm already engaged to san, besides, you already accepted, right? Before, you weren't calling me son-in-law-san?" - I said with a smile of "happiness".
"YOUUUUU" - he tightened his grip while I thought he was going to rip my shirt off, fortunately Mrs. Ren is here, otherwise I wouldn't even say that.
"HONEY, CALM DOWN" - he said as he walked away from my father-in-law... saved.
After that we enjoyed the night without much more drama, seriously, it even seems like an anime series drama.
======
I realized that there are many "she" in places where she shouldn't or I think she shouldn't be. Sorry for that the translator is the one who adds it and since I only check for when people translate it to Spanish, it doesn't appear in the translation, so I didn't notice.
So I tried to remove as much as I can in the places that it shouldn't be, but I must have passed a few there, I hope it doesn't bother you too much.
