Chapter 38
Chapter 38
It’s been a week since we resolved our dispute with the League .
Every day has been so happy for me that time seems to be flying by so fast .
After all, Sasakursan’s smile, freed from the clutches of the League, was too cute that it made her even more attractive .
I thought her smile was already the best smile I’ve ever seen, there was not a shadow in her smile when she said she couldn’t care less about the League and that we should just ignore them, so I didn’t expect it would be any better than that .
Most importantly, that smile is always directed at me and only me, so there is no way I won’t feel happy about it .
I’ve gotten used to our relationship, but when she smiles at me unexpectedly, I would still blush .
I wonder if Sasakura likes my reaction, but when I blushed, she would look into my happy eyes, which would always be filled with a bewitching light, and her beautiful fairy-like smile would turn into a bewitching one in an instant, which I have no tolerance to .
So I’ve lived a happy life, and today is my day off .
I invited Sasakursan to go out with me, but she said she wanted to watch a movie instead, so we decided to have a movie marathon at home .
So I picked out a few movies at the rental shop, and when I got home, we were huddled together and were about to watch a movie when the doorbell rang .
“Huh? I don’t have any friends, and I’m sure the salespeople would stay away because of the door decoration…”
“I know it’s a little late, but that’s a really sad thing to say . ”
“Oh, I’m not lonely at all because Sasakursan is here . ”
“I’m happy, but it’s a little different . ”
Huh, I don’t know what she’s trying to say .
In the past, I didn’t feel lonely just by remembering Sasakursan’s expressions and so on, and now I don’t feel lonely because Sasakursan is next to me .
In other words, as long as Sasakursan exists, I won’t feel lonely no matter where in the world I am, and I can be happy just by having Sasakursan there .
“Yes, Shinjou-kun is a happy man . ”
“Because of you”
She gave a big nod to the words I said, as if she gave up and thought “I guess he doesn’t understand at all . ”
Then the doorbell rang again .
“Well, in any case, I don’t think they would stop”
“I don’t think so either, but it could be an assassin from the League, so be careful, okay?”
I head for the front door while slightly raising my hand to say I’ll take care of it .
Most of the members of the League were there when we went last time, but that means the number of people who didn’t come was not zero .
Just in case, I opened the door with a little caution in case magic would fly the moment I opened it, and outside was an old man of around 70 .
His hair was gray-haired, he was deeply wrinkled, and his physique was medium-sized .
His eyes were sharp and stern, but on the contrary, he had a gentle smile on his mouth, which suggests a gentle disposition .
If you look closely, you can see a very rational light in his eyes hidden by the sharp look in his eyes .
He seemed to be observing me as well, and he narrowed his eyes,
“So… you’re the man who saved my dear granddaughter… indeed, you have tremendous power . ”

he said, as if he were interested in the matter .
Life has its ups and downs, as they say .
I thought that the conflict with the League had been resolved and that I would be able to enjoy my days with Sasakursan in peace, but an unexpected visitor arrived .
“Oh, grandfather? Why are you here today?”
“This, this, this, Yumi . We are family . There’s no reason to be nervous . ”
“That’s not…”
“Well, for some reason, you have always been afraid of me . Is that still the case? I had heard you had a man in custody, and I was hoping that would change, but oh dear, what a pity . ”
A friendly family conversation was taking place before my eyes .
The reason for this situation was because of what happened a few minutes ago .
Sasakursan’s grandfather visited our house unexpectedly and I was happy to show him around .
Then, I asked him to not say anything, but when I opened the living room door and walked up behind Sasakursan, tapped her on the shoulder and made her turn around with a gesture and let her know that her grandfather was there, she fell off the cushions in surprise and then hurriedly sat up straight .
It was very satisfying to see Sasakursan’s surprised and panicked state, which I rarely see these days .
Thank you, Sasakursan’s grandfather!
“That’s not the point! Why is grandfather here?”
“Well, that’s because… I’m sorry . I forgot to ask his name . ”
“Yuuji . Yuuji Shinjou, that’s my name . ”

“So you are Yuuji . My name is Sasakura Shigeharu . You know me by now as her paternal grandfather . ”
He asked for my name, so I answered politely, and he told me his name and his relationship with Sasakursan .
Well, that was obvious .
“That’s why . I came here to you, Yuuji, to thank you and apologize to you . ”
“Thanking me for my help is one thing… but why the apology?”
“It’s… Oh, no . Let me thank you first . Thank you very much for freeing my granddaughter from those bastards . I only managed to protect her from their evil intentions, but I couldn’t get to the root of the problem . Even just having a few conversations with her today, I can tell that she is at peace . Thank you so much for freeing my granddaughter and saving her…!”
Sasakura’s grandfather… Shigeharu-san bowed his head to the floor to express his gratitude .
“Oh, grandfather!”
“…I understand your feelings, sir . So please raise your head . It would be troubling for me to have the person who has been protecting Sasakursan bow his head to me . ”
“Oh… thank you very much,”
Sasakursan was surprised by his unexpected behavior, but I took it extremely seriously when he thanked me .
I wonder how much thought he put into protecting Sasakursan and how much he felt frustrated at not being able to protect her?
It can just imagine it, but it’s difficult to fully understand .
But at the very least, the fact that he deeply loved Sasakursan was clearly conveyed to me .
In that case, it is my duty to accept that thanks properly .

“And then, grandfather . No need to apologize . This is the one thing I am sure of, no matter what they say . I just want Sasakursan to be happy . For her happiness, there’s no trouble that would be troublesome, and hardships would not be hard either . So rather than apologizing or anything else, let’s celebrate her being freed from the clutches of the League together, shall we?”
I told him his thanks was enough and he did not need to apologize .
He is a respectable person who wanted Sasakursan to be happy and did everything he could to make her happy .
It was probably because of this person that Sasakursan was able to stay lively even in that environment .
I don’t want to be a fool who would make someone like that apologize to me .
“I’ll celebrate with you rather than apologize…Hahaha! This is good . He’s a really pleasant fellow . Well, Yumi . You have captured a very nice man . ”
“What?”
“What a wonderful personality . I’m sure you will make my beloved granddaughter happy . Yuuji, please take good care of my granddaughter . I hope you will continue to protect her and make her happy . ”
“Yes, that’s it . I promise you that . It’s only natural to make the person you love happy . ”
The conversation between him and I progressed rapidly, leaving Sasakursan puzzled by her grandfather’s laughter at my words .
I got approval for our relationship from her grandfather, who was not her direct guardian, but still seemed to have a lot of say in the matter . How wonderful!
Of course, I had no intention of leaving her even if he said something to me . but there was nothing better than a peaceful situation .
This made it easier to talk to Sasakursan’s parents through her grandfather .
Afterwards, while listening to Sasakursan’s dumbfounded murmurs, her grandfather and I talked about how cute and adorable Sasakursan was .
As sxpected of someone who had protected and loved Sasakursan for many years, he had many adorable stories about her .
I listened intently to the stories of her with my eyes shining .
