The two of them continued chatting and had laughed for a while until they reached Yuu's house, only to see something familiar.
๐๐ฉ๐ข๐ต ๐ค๐ข๐ณ ๐ช๐ดโฆ
He saw a black car which was very familiar to him, until he eventually realized why it was familiar when they got closer.
"This car isโ"
"Yuu?" Aoi looked as innocent as ever when she looked at his surprised reaction on seeing the car.
๐๐ฉ๐ข๐ต ๐ค๐ข๐ณ ๐ช๐ด ๐ธ๐ช๐ต๐ฉ๐ฐ๐ถ๐ต ๐ข ๐ฅ๐ฐ๐ถ๐ฃ๐ต ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐ฐ๐ฏ๐ฆ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ข๐ต ๐ฉ๐ช๐ต ๐ฎ๐ฆ, ๐ฃ๐ถ๐ต ๐ธ๐ฉ๐ข๐ต ๐ช๐ด ๐ช๐ต ๐ฅ๐ฐ๐ช๐ฏ๐จ ๐ฉ๐ฆ๐ณ๐ฆ? Yuu wondered, but he also realized that Aoi was starting to get worried, so he gestured "Well, shall we go in for a bit?"
"Ehโฆ sure, butโฆ."
"It's fine, don't worry too much, here." he opened the front door and they both entered, took off their shoes, and offered Aoi a pair of slippers while wearing his pair.
As both of them walked towards the living room, it was noisier than usual, but he greeted them anyway, untilโฆ
"I'm homโ wait, what are all these bags and boxes?!" he immediately saw the bags and boxes on the ground and saw another person, a woman, probably in her late forties, and greeted her, "Ahโ Good day. I'm Awagami Yuuโฆ"
The woman stood up after Yuu introduced herself and was about to introduce herself as well, only to get interjected by Aoi.
"Mom?! Why are you so early?"
"Eh? Mom?!" shocked as any normal person would react, Yuu backed off a bit from the two towards his own relatives.
"Well, I was excited to see my ๐ด๐ฐ๐ฏ-๐ช๐ฏ-๐ญ๐ข๐ธ so I woke up earlier than usual."
"Son-in-law?!" again, shocked, Yuu exclaimed, but the two didn't care, but he noticed that Aoi became quite embarrassed from the words of her own mother.
"You could at least tell meโฆ." Aoi sighed in exasperation, and her mother placed her palm on her cheek.
"But I didโฆ."
"Eh?!" Aoi immediately looked at her phone and scrolled on the messages and calls. It did contain calls and messages from her mother. "Ahโ it's on silent modeโฆ." she immediately realized why she didn't receive anything.
"Well, well. Sit, sit. It seems like Yuu is a bit confused, so should we explain from the very beginning?"
"Please doโฆ." Yuu sighed as he sat down on the couch, next to Aoi.
Yuu's mother began explaining from the very beginning, right when Yuu and Aoi met in the hospital. Where Aoi said ๐ด๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐ธ๐ข๐ฏ๐ต๐ฆ๐ฅ ๐ต๐ฐ ๐จ๐ณ๐ข๐ฏ๐ต ๐ ๐ถ๐ถ'๐ด ๐ธ๐ช๐ด๐ฉ ๐ฐ๐ง ๐ด๐ฑ๐ฆ๐ฏ๐ฅ๐ช๐ฏ๐จ ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ณ๐ฆ ๐ต๐ช๐ฎ๐ฆ ๐ธ๐ช๐ต๐ฉ ๐ฉ๐ฆ๐ณ. Which made Yuu flustered, but at the same time interrupted the explanation since he basically knows it already.
"Wait, wait, wait. By granting that, you don't meanโฆ."
"It is what you think it is, Yuu." Aoi said with a flustered, embarrassed smile.
"Then, these bags and boxes areโฆ." he looked at the bags and boxes lined up on the ground.
"Yeah, it's your things, clothes and everything."
"Seriouslyโฆ." once again, Yuu sighed in exasperation.
"Well, the one who suggested this wasโ"
"Mom!"
As her mother was about to say something, Aoi interjected with a loud and flustered voice.
"It's not that I hate the idea of it. But where do we evenโฆ."
"You have the power, right, Yuu?" Yuu's mother asked him with a gentle smile on her face, as if gently caressing a baby's hair.
"...power?" although, Yuu didn't fully comprehend this, and was only left confused, which made her mother sigh.
"Haโ then, Aoi-chan."
When Yuu's mother said her name, he quickly turned to her, and saw her troubled, but she clenched both her fists and stared at him, eye to eye.
"Do youโฆ mind living with me, Yuu?.." she asked in a shy voice, but it was enough to reach Yuu, who immediately became flustered.
"That'sโฆ" he tried averting his gaze, but Aoi kept pushing him. "I already said that I don't hate the idea, rightโฆ"
"I heard, butโฆ that's not the answer I'm looking for!" she again steeled herself and pushed him further, "Do you want to live together with me. Yuu?" this time, the sentence became more clear.
After being pushed that far, Yuu had no other choice but to answer honestly.
"Iโฆ doโฆ." he answered in a soft, but understandable voice, "this is this, but where do we evenโ"
"They told you you have the power right? And you certainly do. Awagami Yuu-kun."
A third party suddenly entered the room, in fact, he was in the bathroom. Yuu thought he could either be
ยน๐๐๐ข๐ญ๐ข๐ง๐ ๐๐จ๐ซ ๐ก๐ข๐ฆ ๐ญ๐จ ๐ฌ๐๐ฒ ๐ข๐ญ.
ยฒ๐๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ญ ๐๐ง๐ญ๐๐ซ๐๐ ๐ฐ๐ก๐๐ง ๐ญ๐ก๐๐ฒ ๐ ๐จ๐ญ ๐ก๐จ๐ฆ๐.
He couldn't think what it was, so he just gave it up and asked him, "You are?.."
"Ahโ how rude of me. Nice to meet you, Awagami Yuu-kun. I'm the C.E.O. of Shichirin co. Shinichi Youta. Aoi's father."
Yuu's mind went blank for a second, and silence fell in the room.
