Chapter 10: Let's Bet on Games

　After the self-introductions that had the whole class in stitches were over.

Haru-sensei called us and we were given a lecture.

　"The marriage is a happy occasion, but I would like to be informed in advance."

　She warned us that what we did in introducing ourselves was a bit excessive and that we shouldn't go too far just because we're newlyweds.

　She was also worried that other students might look at us strangely.

And we should be responsible .

　So now, it's lunchtime.

　We decided to have lunch together with Koutaro and Sekka.

　I haven't had time to prepare lunch since moving to our new home, so we just eat at the school cafeteria.

"What was that self-introduction about... I thought Kouri said she wanted to do it in a manzai* style."

"Sekka-san knows this very well."

　We've been friends since our first year of high school, so she's seen our fair share of eccentricities.

"I won't be happy if you praise me for something like that. Your strange behavior is the same as always..."

　Sekka-san stares at me with a somewhat disinterested look in her eyes.

　She has naturally sharp eyes, so when she glares at me like this it is incredibly intimidating.

　Sekka, being the most sensible person among us, seems to be unhappy about a lot of things.

"Though that was pretty eccentric. I thought it was the best way to convey who we are."

"Oh my gosh. I'm sure everyone thought, 'These guys are weird.'"

"Eh? A weirdo is someone who plays around with me like Mi-kun."

"What are you talking about? No matter how you look at it, you're the one who's wrong this time."

　I went along with her strange idea.

"If anything, I think Michihisa-kun is the one who's been caught up in Kouri-chan's strange behavior."

A covering fire from Koutaro.

"Ah~ the best thing to have is a best friend. See, I'm a sensible person."

"Michihisa is just like you, going along with whatever comes to mind. Seriously..."  Sekka sighs.

"You worry too much, Sekka-san."

"It's all your fault though... "

"By the way, about the details of our marriage, we got married in January, which was quite a while ago."

"I didn't hear about it." - Sekka

"I also didn't hear about it. Actually, even if I had, I wouldn't have been surprised."- Koutaro

"It's been three months since then. I feel nostalgic~." - Kouri

"I was surprised then. Kouri suddenly brought up the topic of marriage." - Michihisa

　I recall how Kouri proposed to me about three months ago.

◆◆◆◆

　It was January 4th, and the New Year's holidays had just begun.

　The Kurashiki family, who have close ties with relatives, had a busy time with many events happening over the first three days of the year on New Year's Eve.
