Falling in Love with a Sick Girlfriend Twenty Years Younger Than Me

"Wow, is that so?"

"Well, after that, because I found out that the proprietress was flirting with the uncle, I couldn't help but ran over~~"

That's not flirting, hey!

——Having said that, it would be tiring to just explain it like this, and whether she will believe it is another matter, so I didn't answer this sentence.

Feeling the feverish brain, I said to Asuna: "Then, you have also achieved the purpose of mixing baths. Is there anything else you want to do?"

"If there is, there is indeed..."

Asuna shook the wine glass lightly, staring blankly at the shaking wine, but did not drink it.

I saw that she put the wine glass on the tray floating in the water, raised her head to look at the starry sky, and said to me: "Actually, uncle. I ran away from home this time, but after careful consideration?"

"Well, I can feel it."

Especially those bodyguards who tied me up, fully demonstrated how prepared you are.

"However..."

Asuna carefully picked up a little water in her hand, and said slowly: "Even if I have made so many preparations, I can't escape the surveillance at home for too long. Even with the help of others, as long as my family is willing, I'm afraid I'll be caught and brought home within three days, right?"

"..."

Indeed, with that Hayakawa family as the opponent, it's hard for me to imagine anyone who can escape their pursuit... But if this is the case, why did Asuna escape again?Isn't it pointless to do so?

"Then...why did you run out?" I tried my best not to care too much, looked at the moon and said, "I knew I would be caught, but I still ran out in a fit of anger, you Is it a child?"

"I'm just a child?"

"You... count yourself as ruthless!"

"whee......"

Asuna grinned, and continued talking in a slightly cheerful tone.

"Well, I also know that it's useless to do this... But, I have a reason to do it."

"reason?"

I looked at Asuna curiously, but was a little surprised to find that she was also staring at me seriously.

"Well, it's the [reason]..."

Asuna slowly curled up, sat with her knees hugged in the hot spring, and said to herself: "A while ago, didn't I quarrel with the uncle? As a result, not only the good school festival was ruined , I didn’t even contact Uncle for a long time after that, it was really lonely.”

"It's not really a quarrel...it's my fault for saying those things to you suddenly."

"Oh no? Uncle." Asuna shook her head and continued: "I was suddenly poked into a sore spot and ran away on my own. It has nothing to do with Uncle... Besides, he still Thank you uncle."

"Thank me?"

Why?I just said something that is the most correct from the perspective of a bystander, but it is completely useless to the person involved, right?

As if to answer my question, Asuna smiled slightly and said: "After that, although I stayed at home in anger for a week and didn't go to school, but after I figured it out, I felt a sense of relief. "

"Then... with my sister's encouragement, I tried to talk to my parents according to my uncle's words."

"As a result, they listened to my words with a blank face, those words from my heart, and my regret for what I did in the past..."

【Ah... I'm sorry, Asuna.But it's good that you come back. 】

[We did have things that were wrong in the past, but so did you... However, since you have mustered up the courage to come back, let those things go. 】

"It's funny, isn't it? It's something that has troubled me for so long, but it was reconciled so easily... What did I do before?"

Asuna laughed a little self-deprecatingly, as if regretting what she had done in the past.However, I had absolutely no intention of comforting her in the past. I just stared blankly at this girl who was completely different from the first time I met her.

Knowing how outrageous what I did was wrong, but not blindly choosing to escape, being a coward.Instead, I bravely confessed to the person I was most ashamed of, and was forgiven... At this moment, the girl in front of me is far braver than I imagined.

However, there is another question that I haven't figured out.

"You mean... you went to talk to your parents?"

"Huh? Yes? Thanks to Uncle, I have the courage to talk to them."

"But, since the reconciliation has been made, why are you still grounded?"

"Ah, this matter..."

Asuna scratched her head in embarrassment, and explained hesitantly: "Because, because the family has paid more attention to it again, I was forced to do some training... etiquette, conversation, foreign languages, etc. Lah, a lot, a lot!"

"Yes, is it?"

Yes, after all, she is the daughter of that kind of big family.As long as they are taken seriously, ordinary high schools and the like are completely inferior to their own tutoring level... It makes sense to be locked at home and asked to study.

......and many more.Could it be that she sneaked out this time because she was tired of staying at home and simply wanted to come out to get some air! ?

......

"Asuna...you're tired of staying at home, don't you want to come out to get some air?"

"...Uncle, what are you talking about, I can't understand at all~~~"

"Look me in the eyes and talk! You bastard!!"

Seeing her avoiding, I became more convinced of my thoughts, and I couldn't help but feel a headache.
