“I have to go back to work soon. Are you really okay?”

“Yeah I’m fine! Housekeeper Sayo-san will be with me. Do your best at work, dad!” Thus went a conversation between me and my father from a few hours ago.

I want to hit my old carefree self. (T/N: kanji says 能天気, and a reader said it might mean carefree) It’s not okay at all. Suddenly I’m in a pinch.

After my father went to the airport by taxi, I received an email on my cellphone.

“Who’s this? Huh. Dad? What did he text?” I read the email on the spot. Memories from the novel resurface again. For an hour my body is frozen, unable to move, until Sayo-san calls out. Sayo-san is our housekeeper who’s been working hard for us since my mother passed away. He is a broad-minded person and is understanding of my current amnesia.

But I am aware. When I woke up in the hospital, I knew there was no way Amano Yuu would have any household skills. If it’s just cooking and washing, I’d probably be fine by myself. Having Sayo-san here will definitely save me.

In the email that my father sent, he apologized for not being able to stay by my side and take care of me longer. Also, if there’s anything else that I need, to rely on our neighbors for help. The message is marked read.

(Oh…could it be…) Memories from the novel come rushing in scattered fragments, and I collapse into a couch from the lightheadedness.

(Houou Hiroto)

We moved when I was in kindergarten. Apparently my father and the Houou family were distant relatives, and he was told that living on this property would be beneficial for a widower with a small child. My father held my hand as we greeted our new neighbors, passing through a western-styled building into a garden, over a well groomed rose fence, when I met him.

That primary school kid back then was pretty cute.

At that time I still missed my mother and held many nostalgic sentiments of her. Of course when the two of us played together, Hiroto’s friends would also tag along. I was lonely when my father was away, but I was told to be well behaved over at the Houou household.

At mealtime I would certainly be sitting neatly on my knees. At night I would certainly hug myself to sleep in bed. (T/N: pretty sure I got this line wrong)

(…Yeah..)

And when I became a junior high student, after seeing the new person who joined the Student council I forcibly joined as well. (Needless to say, I had them removed.)

If they were even liked by Hiroto just a little, I’d threaten them not to approach Hiroto or even enter the same building as him.

When my father stayed at work overnight I never stopped eating meals while on my knees, and I still hugged myself to sleep on the same bed, occasionally mulling through the unreasonable acts that I’ve done.

(…Yeah…)

By the time I finished junior high, I’ve crossed so many lines.

“Hold on, hold on, hold on!” (What’s that, what’s that?! ☆) Leaving me confused, the memories surge on with no mercy.

However, the situation changed completely once I entered high school. Hiroto became disgusted by my willful personality gradually and fell in love with the Hero.

The Hero is pretty much unremarkable, but makes up for it by being modest and innocent. The complete opposite of Yuu.

Of course, Yuu went crazy with jealousy and tried to remove the Hero through several schemes, but lost to their plot armor ultimately. The main couple received help from multiple sources and conquered all the conflicts, resulting in a Happy Ending.
