Kimi no Shiawase wo Negatteita 3 (I Wish You Happiness 3)

Part 32

The days that followed passed in a hurry.

It was difficult to prepare a new house in a month, which we were still considering, so we decided to live at Shigure's current place after marriage.

I began to organize my belongings for the move, and Shigure became even busier than before due to work adjustments, so we were unable to see each other on many days.

Even so, we continued to text each other at night, but Shigure, who was concerned about my health, told me to discontinue texting him immediately, because no matter how late he came home and sent me a good night text, I would reply immediately.

I wanted to communicate with Shigure as much as possible, so I asked him not to stop, but I couldn't be selfish when he said that he wanted me to live a regular life and be in perfect physical condition until the day we would be fully mated, which was soon approaching, so I was spending some lonely time at night.

In the past, Shigure would have accepted this level of selfishness with a wry smile, but I felt as if he was showing me his seriousness and enthusiasm for the coming day of blessing, so I started to build up my strength so that I would not lose to Shigure's spirit.

My original plan of going to the gym was banned due to safety concerns, so instead, I've been working out day and night on the training machines that my dad set up for me in a room in our house.

I've never exercised much before, so I'm incredibly sweaty and out of breath after just a few minutes of running.

The first day I ran on the treadmill so hard that my legs trembled, and the next day my muscles ached so badly that I had trouble standing up.

Since then, I've learned the hard way not to push myself too hard, so I've been patiently doing moderate exercise and gradually increasing the distance I run.

At the same time, I started working on my abdominal and back muscles, which seemed to be tighter than when I first started, and I began to enjoy checking my whole body in front of the mirror before taking a bath.

When I see visible results, I feel motivated to work harder. I began to understand a little more about the feelings of people who are into muscle training.

As I spent my days like this, I was steadily preparing for the honeymoon.

I talked to my dad a little bit, and he told me that it was at Suzunari's grandparents' mansion that my parents fully mated. They tied the knot in my mother's room, who was living at home at the time, but it seems that the servants at the mansion took care of their daily needs, such as meals and laundry, while they stayed in their room for almost three weeks.

They were very careful not to show themselves to my mother's mother, who was upset that she had taken the mate into the nest.

In our case, it would be just the two of us in Shigure's apartment, so we had to discuss with him how we would maintain our food and living environment.

At any rate, as Shigure had said himself, he was very reluctant to have his honeymoon interrupted. Even if he was exaggerating, it would be a pity to upset Shigure's nerves by hiring a housekeeper, and it would be hard for him to relax.

As a result of our discussion, we decided to have Ms. Sato, an old housekeeper in Suzunari's house, help us once a week with the bare minimum, such as buying food and taking care of the garbage.

She is Beta's housekeeper who turns sixty-five this year, and she knows Shigure well. Because of her gender and age, she was unlikely to incite hostility in Shigure, and we agreed on the condition that we would be careful not to run into her while she was working.
