My Sweet Little Girl

The Starving Farmer

Chapter 3

🍜👨‍👩‍👧🏡

My Name Is Kurai Aware.

I am in a tight situation. I planned on leaving, but Mrs. Kuchiki held my hand and begged me to stay. If I recall correctly, her first name would be Miyo. A beautiful name, no this is not what I should be thinking right now. I don't know how to respond with her angry husband next to her, and she's holding my hand, if I can honestly say it, I am very flustered right now.

"Dear, don't yell like that! You're being very rude and uncalled for! We already bought the ramen, it can't be wasted!"

Miyo-san yelled at her husband.

"..........."

"Oh, well if you really want me to stay Kuchiki-san, I'll gladly stay. I'm sorry for the trouble I've caused."

I sat on my chair and gobbled up the very awkward tension.

I started eating and slurping up the mildly soggy ramen infront of me, while wondering why Miyo-san would trust me enough to go this far so I would eat with them. Is she truly just a very kind person? Her hand, it was really soft. I shouldn't be thinking about a married woman like this, but she truly is lovely.

Our space was filled with the worst awkward quiet tension ever. Until Kiyoi, suddenly touched my thigh. I jolted upwards, I never expected a child to do that! My face flushed again.

"Don't be sad!"

Kiyoi smiled while telling me to not be swallowed by sadness.

"My daddy is a very nice daddy!"

Kiyoi added.

I can understand that she's trying to say that her father isn't usually like this.

"I know! I understand Kuchiki-san."

I replied to the child.

"Are you going to call all of us Kuchiki-san? Feel free to call my daughter Kuchiki-chan, it's too formal to call all of us with san anyways!"

Miyo-san told me softly with a giggle, like she was trying to uplift my spirit.

"Oh...sure, of course mam"

I nervously replied to Miyo, I was never accustomed to not being very formal, so this is taking a toll on my morals.

"You really are too formal!"

Miyo-san burst into laughter.

"Is a shy timid strange looking man so funny for you? You're enjoying his company too much. More than Kiyoi who you said was the reason you wanted to meet with him"

Mr. Kuchiki suddenly mumbled to his wife, but because we were close to each other, I heard everything. I'm not trying to bring discord to their marriage, so I will leave the moment they fight again.

"Dear, you're too wary of Aware-san. We're just having fun and lifting up the awkward tension, loosen up a bit will you? You're starting to irritate me. You're so proud of being a child of God when you can't even accept your fellow men, aren't we all family in this world?"
