My love simulation with them

But the grudge in my heart is not so easy to let go of.

But... facing Nanxiang Shi's words and mother's portrait.

The words were stuck in his throat.

After a while, she seemed to have made up her mind and said to the portrait of Matsuzaka Satou:

"Yes, mother, don't worry, I will live with my father in the future."

She didn't say much.

But the hand he held Nanxiang's hand behind had already explained a lot of things.

People who indulge in sadness have no future and cannot move forward.

Her mother used to accompany her.

Now...it's my father's company.

She said so.

At the same time as Nanxiang Shi, he looked at the altar at home in front of him.

The long incense burns silently.

The living still have to move on.

...

After the festival, Matsuzaka Sugar.

Nanxiang decided to take Matsuzaka Shio home without any hesitation.

the reason is simple.

The environment of this low-rent house is really too bad.

Forget about air leakage from all sides.

At night, there will be office workers and homeless people who have drunk too much.

Nanxiang Shi was not at ease at all if he allowed Matsuzaka Shio to live here alone.

The decision was made easily on his part.

But Matsuzaka Shio here opened his mouth, feeling inexplicably uneasy.

Because Nanxiang's decision was too fast for her.

Although he said in front of his mother's portrait that he would live with Nanxiang Shi.

But she never thought that Nanxiang would be so decisive and wanted to take her away directly.

This too-rapid progress made her overwhelmed. She even raised her head uneasily and asked in a low voice: "Father...are you okay?"

yes.

no problem?

Don't say she wasn't mentally prepared.

Even the six Nanxiang sisters.

And the father's wives... I guess they weren't mentally prepared either?

Suddenly there was a daughter beside me.

Suddenly there was an extra family member.

Being so abrupt...will it make them feel psychologically uncomfortable?

Because of what he experienced with Matsuzaka Sugar, Matsuzaka Shio is actually far more sensible than the six sisters of the Nanxiang family.

Of course she knew that she was a complete outsider to the Nanxiang family.

Not even the Nanxiang family.

Even in a normal family.

Your parents suddenly bring over a child you don’t know at all, who is almost the same age as you, and tell you that from now on we will be a family and we must get along well——

No matter how you look at it...it's a bit embarrassing, right?

She was hesitant and at a loss.

Nanxiang Shi, on the other hand, simply waved his hand: "It's okay, Yan. Our children... how should I put it... are the kind of children who are easy to get along with. This actually includes My wives are the same way."

Yes.

Whether it’s the members of the ending band, Akane Shinjo or Rio Futaba.

They probably would not refuse Matsuzaka Shio to come and become their family.

As for the six Nanxiang sisters...

Those trouble-free daughters usually wish they had one or two more sisters to make the whole family noisy.

Feeling embarrassed?

Not used to it?

Maybe it would be like this in other families.

Can be placed at Nanxiang home...

Such a thing will never exist.

After repeated assurances and promises when I was in Nanxiang.

Matsuzaka Shio, who was a little uneasy at first, couldn't resist his father's request in the end.

She agreed to go to Nanxiang's house to live with him.

But she also has a few conditions - if those are really conditions.

First of all, Matsuzaka Shio hoped that Nanxiang could take her great-aunt Nanxiang Sayuri to live in Nanxiang's house.

This woman who used to have a chaotic private life changed her temper after being taught by Nango Toki, and worked with Matsuzaka Granose to raise her.

It can be said that without the support of Sayuri Matsusaka, Matsuzaka Salt would not be able to grow so healthily.

However, as long as humans are alive, they will surely grow old one day.

Sayuri Matsuzaka is no exception.

She is now in her fifties.

Working continuously outside the house, alternating between day and night, has long emptied her energy.

Matsuzaka Shio didn't want her last relative in this world, except Nango Toki, to leave her because of overwork.

The other party's request is not excessive at all.

In fact, even if Matsuzaka Shio did not make this request, Nanxiang would take the initiative to welcome Matsuzaka Sayuri to Nanxiang's home for retirement.

This request was agreed to by Nanxiang Shi.

Matsuzaka Shio then made the next request.

She hoped that Nango would be able to find a temple cemetery in Tokyo to bury her mother.

Similarly, I hope Nanxiang Shi can allow her to pack some things in this low-rent house before going to Nanxiang's home.

For her, there are many objects in the low-rent house that hide memories of her and her mother.

This is something she will never let go of.

This second request was equally reasonable and reasonable. Nanxiang Shi had no reason to refuse, so of course he agreed to it.

Then there is the third requirement.

Matsuzaka Shio hopes to keep his surname "Matsusaka".

Because for her.

His name is equivalent to the 'last legacy' left to him by his mother.

This is actually a kind of "willfulness" on her part.

I want to be willful towards my father.

only...

"This 'willfulness' is indeed a bit unreasonable."

Even Matsuzaka Shio, who proposed this idea of ​​going, was a little uneasy.

She was a little afraid that Nanxiang would refuse her request.

After all, for some people, not changing their surname to the original family is actually very disrespectful to the other person.

Not to mention that the Nanxiang family now has such a large family business and is well-known throughout Tokyo.

No matter how you think about it, her request is a bit inappropriate.

Matsuzaka Shio was even ready to accept Nanxiang's unpleasant words and force her to change her surname.

but--

"It's okay. I respect your wishes. If you want to keep the surname 'Matsusaka', I won't object. If your mother knew that you cherish the things she left you so much... she would probably be very happy. "

"...Why?"

Didn't feel displeased.

There is no plan to force her to change her surname to Nanxiang.

Nan Xiangshi in front of him just smiled and stretched out his hand, gently stroking her head.

"Father..."

Feeling Nanxiang Shi's touch.

Feeling the other person's gentle gaze.

Matsuzaka Shio, who had had all kinds of bad thoughts just now, lowered his head in shame.

She felt that she was probably judging a gentleman's heart with a villain's heart.

Obviously his father has made so many concessions, but he still...

She blamed herself a little.

And the little thoughts about my daughter.

Nanxiang Shi could tell it with just a glance.

He didn't tell the truth.

He just smiled and talked with her, accompanying her.

Matsuzaka Shio, who had never experienced his father's care, felt warm in his heart at this moment.

that's all.

Time passed from day to night.

It doesn't take long to pack everything in the Matsuzaka family.

I just called a moving company to load some items with memories of Matsusaka salt and Matsusaka sugar into the car and load them.

Then he solemnly put the urn containing Matsuzaka sugar into his arms and held it firmly.

Everything is ready to end.

Night fell slowly.

before following in the car.

Matsuzaka Shio stood in front of the door of the low-rent house.

Looking at the dilapidated room in front of me, it holds countless childhood memories.

from birth.

to learn to walk.

Then to the middle school and high school years when I didn’t understand my mother.
