Chapter 90
My Results
[The current me is a promising young employee of the HRG company . The company has not gone bankrupt yet, but it is a fact that it has started to fall . ]
With my time leap released, when I tried to check the date, I noticed this note sandwiched in the cover of my notepad type smartphone . When I regained my consciousness, I found myself laying in bed, which was in what seemed to be my house, and Hiiragi-chan was sleeping soundly next to me . I’ve returned from ten years ago to the present time once again . And this note seems to be a message from the present me to the high-school me .
[Speaking of results, it wasn’t wrong of me to join the HRG company and work part-time in my second year of high school . However, it seems there’s another big reason for the company to go bankrupt . Of course, I don’t know what that reason is . ]
It was early in the morning and I had a serious expression as I got up out of bed .
It seems that even doing as much as I could as a part-time worker, I could only delay the bankruptcy, and not stop it .
[The company’s 2500 employees and their families will be affected by this . I want to stop it no matter what . ]
I know that . I really do . He’s talking about how it would be fine as long as Hiiragi-chan and I were happy . Something like that may be fine in a romance between high schoolers, but it was now a romance between two adults . There are a lot of things that I need to consider .
[Hiiragi-chan… about Haruksan, with the support of Natsumi-chan, we were able to live together, but marriage still seems to be difficult . ]
This is way too early in the morning for something this depressing…
[Leaving Hiiragi Papa to Natsumi-chan was the right call, but as for her mother, she still hasn’t accepted our relationship . I need to advance further within the company, or at least that’s what I’m currently working hard towards at the present . ]
I’m talking about doing my best, but there probably isn’t much advancement in a company that’s starting to fall .
[Rather than trying to do something from the inside, it might be better to do it as a person of the Hiiragi family . ]
There is a limit to how much one can do as an employee .
In my second year of high school, I started working part time, I thought that with my knowledge and experience at the HRG company, I could prevent its bankruptcy, but it seems that it’s hard for a mere employee to work towards avoiding it . However, the last time I returned to the present, the HRG company was already bankrupt, and Natsumi-chan was living with us as a freeloader, borrowing a room .

That’s why it could be said that the worst of it was avoided, and that there were results .
[In that case, it shouldn’t be Sanada Haruka, but rather Hiiragi Seiji . ]
Sanada Haruka… The feeling of marriage closing in on becoming a reality, feel really good . However, Hiiragi Seiji… Ah, does that mean I should become the adopted son in-law?
[With that, as the husband of the president’s daughter, I should be able to gain some sort of authority within the company . ]
The way it’s mentioned makes it sound like becoming an adopted son in-law of Hiiragi-chan’s family is just means for a career advancement .
[I’m not just saying this for the sake of career advancement . ]
As expected of me . I really do understand my own thinking .
[I need to be officially recognized by the family as a fiancé by the time I graduate high school . If that doesn’t happen, now, when I’m twenty-seven years old, the company has already started its downfall, and marriage is far from progressing . ]
That was the last thing that was written in the note .
The difficulty of this hurdle is quite high .
This time and the last time, the company ended up doing badly, but before all of this, before I even made a time leap to my second year of high school, this wasn’t the case . When I was living with Sana, and wasn’t in a relationship with Hiiragi-chan, my workplace didn’t changed at all . When I became a teacher, I wonder if the HRG company was already beginning its downfall .
If that’s the case…
“No, but… there’s no way Hiiragi-chan and I dating would be the trigger for the HRG company to fall…”
Even if that’s the case, breaking up with Hiiragi-chan is not an option . Breaking up for that reason, would be mixing up priorities . I should quickly become officially on good terms with her family . That should take highest priority .

“… Seiji-kun… what is it, making such a scary face…?”
Hiiragi-chan who was sleeping next to me woke up, and wrapped her arms around my waist .
“Yeah . Just thinking about some things . ”
I stroked her lustrous hair .
Morning was laid-back, a time for just the two of us . Somehow, this feels like it would be enough to make me happy .
… Hiiragi-chan was topless… and I wasn’t wearing any clothes either .
Looks like last night was quite a lot of fun!?
On her pale back, there were a few slight bruises .
“Haruksan, your back, are you okay?”
“Yeah . It’s fine . You did it, didn’t you?”
Me!? No way…!?
“I said it was fine if you applied more force too…”
Did she become a masochist!?
“There’s no need to think about such troublesome things . It’ll be fine . ”

I didn’t say anything, but Hiiragi-chan seemed to notice something and hugged me . As expected, having Hiiragi-chan do this to me is quite healing .
“Yeah . Thank you . However, if I have something I can do, I’ll do my best . ”
“Choosing you was right . You were always amazing, but now, you’ve become even more of a wonderful man . ”
The “power of love” that Hiiragi-chan often mentioned, was at this moment something that even I wanted to believe in .
Fuwaah, the feeling of being involved in a time leap enveloped my body .
The next moment after I blinked, the scenery in front of me changed to Hiiragi-chan’s place . It seemed to be around lunchtime, Hiiragi-chan was currently in the kitchen making something .
I moved around behind her back and lightly hugged her .
“Kyah!? … Hey, it’s dangerous while cooking . ”
While saying that, Hiiragi-chan quickly gave me a kiss . It seems that she’s learned a weird skill called Fast Kiss .
“I’ll do my best to become Haruksan’s fiancé . ”
I release my arms from her as she turns around to face me and opened her arms, making a pose as if to say, “Come here . ” I let myself be taken in and was hugged by Hiiragi-chan .
“It’ll be fine even if you don’t work too hard, you know?”
“No, even so, I want to do my best . ”
“… Seiji-kun, that’s… basically a proposal, you know? Do you understand? You’ve already said something similar to that before though I guess . ”
Hmmmmm? She peeked at me .
Of course, I know . There’s only Hiiragi-chan for me, there isn’t anyone else I can think of .
“Haruksan . ”
As I was staring straight at her, Hiiragi-chan was able to sense something due to her good intuition .
With a tense face, she cleared her throat once .
“Yes . ”
“I’m still just a high schooler and nothing else… but I still love you, Haruksan . ”
“… Yes… Me too… I love you . ”
Saying that with quivering lips, tears swelled up in Hiiragi-chan’s eyes .
“Please marry me . From now on, I’d like to be with you forever . ”
“… Yes . ”
With tears spilling out, Hiiragi-chan smiled with all she could .
That’s right . I didn’t even think of it, but at a time like this, you’re supposed to give a ring, but I didn’t even prepare for that .
When I mentioned that, Hiiragi-chan didn’t seem to mind at all, she said, “You can do it again after you graduate . It’s okay . ”
