章 101: Mother In Law

Everyone who heard this song let out their tears, many things could be learned from this song, especially to move on forward.

Yuzuru kept recording him even though she was crying, she remembered Shoukou in the past, she was the one who had always protected her, she knew many people started to appear beside her, she didn't want to leave but she knew she needed to move on, she couldn't protect her forever, she needed to watch over her.

"Somehow right now, that's my most precious treasure."

Yuuki stopped singing and played piano for a while, he was in 'zone' state, he felt like becoming one with this song.

No one was bothering him and kept listening, they didn't want to miss anything, this song was really beautiful and they would beat up someone who disrupted it.

Chiaki had seen several stars in her life, she had lived on the stage with her father when she was a child, she knew Yuuki would stand on the world stage and her cafe would be his starting point.

Chiaki clenched her hands and felt excited, she wanted to watch how Yuuki would grow to the future. Hina-chan looked at Yuuki who was on the stage, she had always wanted to become a star and standing together with him was her goal now, 'Yuuki...'

Kuina and Miyuki looked at him with admiration and gaze, all in their minds were, 'Yuuki is amazing!'

Yuuki stopped and took a deep breath. He felt this song really touched his heart. He wanted to stand but he heard everyone clapping at him.

"Yuuki, that's great!!"

"Yeah! I can't wait to see you hold your concert!!"

"You've got a bright future, young man!!"

Yuuki smiled at them and said thank you to them, though, there was a thoughtless comment like that.

"LET ME HAVE YOUR CHILD!!"

Yuuki could only give her a wry smile, he was fine with a one-night stand but a child? No way! He finished his performance today and walked toward the changing room. He needed to bring Yuzuru back to her family.

Yuuki took out his phone, [I've found Yuzuru, I'll bring her to your home after this]. He sent it to Shouko.

Yuuki didn't need to wait too long and he had received his reply, [Thank you, I'm very worried about her].

[Did you have a fight with her?] Yuuki asked.

[Yes...], there was a long pause in her response.

[Please, tell me if you have some trouble, remember you're my friend right? or are you thinking of me as a stranger?] Yuuki asked.

[Nooo! You're my friend! That's right, can you accompany me to meet my acquaintance from elementary school tomorrow?] Shouko asked.

Yuuki thought for a bit and didn't think he had an appointment tomorrow, [Sure, I'll accompany you.]

[Thank you!!], Shouko said.

[Is Ishida also coming?] Yuuki didn't really want for him to come but if it Shouko's decision what could he do?

[Yes, he is helping me meet Sahara], Shouko said.

[Sahara?] Yuuki asked, he knew who she was the only one in elementary school willing to learn sign language for the sake of Nishimiya Shouko, though because she was weak against the pressure, she let Shouko being bullied by everyone.

[Yes, she is one of the people who is helping me in elementary school], Shouko said.

Yuuki sighed, he was wondering if Shouko was hating the people in her elementary school but he didn't expect for her to want to meet them.

[Then, we'll meet tomorrow], Yuuki said.

[Yes, let's meet up tomorrow!] Shouko answered.

Yuuki closed his phone and went to everyone. He looked outside and everyone had already been waiting for him.

"Why are you so long in the changing room?" Yuzuru asked.

"I've talked with your sister, let's go home now," Yuuki said.

Yuzuru opened her eyes wide, "WHAT!! YOU TALK WITH MY SISTER!"

Yuuki nodded, "She is very worried about you, I'll take you home even if you don't want to," he carried her easily on his shoulder, "Hina-chan, Kuina, Miyuki, Chiaki, I'll need to take this kid back first, bye."

"Bye, Yuuki!" Hina-chan, Kuina, and Miyuki said at the same time.

Chiaki didn't answer him and looked at his back, she was thinking about something.

---

Yuuki was carrying Yuzuru on his shoulder while walking toward her home, he ignored everyone who gazed toward them.

"Let me down, you idiot!!" Yuzuru screamed.

"Sure," Yuuki put her down.

Yuzuru kept looking at him with a suspicious gaze. She didn't believe Yuuki would let her go easily.

"You know, we're fighting?" Yuzuru asked.

"Yes, your sister said it to me," Yuuki said.

Yuzuru chuckled, "You think, I'm very cruel right to get angry at her? My sister is deaf and as someone who is normal, I need to understand her to better right? I need to take care of her, I need to be...." she stopped when someone patted her head, she looked at Yuuki who was smiling at her.

"You're still a child, don't think too much about something like that," Yuuki said.

"What!!" Yuzuru was angry.

"And, Shouko isn't someone who wants to be protected like that, she isn't a weak girl like you think, now, she started to face her past, don't stop her, support her, I'll do the same and watch over her," Yuuki said.

Yuzuru couldn't say anything and nodded, "Why do you care about her?" She needed to know his reason.

Yuuki smiled, "Isn't it obvious that I'm trying to make her my wife."

Yuzuru was stupified, "OVER MY DEAD BODY YOU FUCKER!!!!"

They were arguing with each other until they arrived at her home.

"Yuzuru," they stopped arguing when they saw a middle aged woman who was standing in front of them.

'Hmm, beautiful,' Yuuki had to admit Shouko's mother was really beautiful, though, she looked quite tired from working, and if she used makeup and didn't look tired, her charm would increase several times.

"Well, I'll be going home first, Yuzuru, tell Shouko, that I miss her," Yuuki said.

"No way!!" Yuzuru was mad.

Yuuki shook his head and looked at Yaeko Nishimiya.

Yaeko is the mother of Shouko and Yuzuru, and the daughter of Ito.

Yuuki bowed his head a little and Yaeko also did the same, she didn't know who he was but she could see his relationship with her daughter was very close. She was actually quite wary of him since she thought this guy would bully her daughter but it didn't seem to be the case.

"Bye, mother-in-law," Yuuki said and left them.

Yaeko was stupified when she was being called 'mother in law?', "Yuzuru, who is he?"

"The guy who wants to marry Shouko," Yuzuru said absentmindedly.

"WHAT!!!" Yaeko blinked her eyes several times, she needed to ask her daughter, she couldn't let her daughter be cheated by a man.

Yaeko wanted to ask about him more to Yuzuru but she had already left her, "Wait Yuzuru! Tell me more about him!!"

章 102: Sahara

"I'm home," Yuzuru said while entering her apartment.

"Yuduru!" Shouko hurriedly hugged her, she was really worried about her.

"Nee-chan!" Yuzuru was startled.

"Sowwy! Sowwy!" Shouko said.

Yuzuru was smiling, "I'm sorry too, nee-chan-han."

Shouko nodded and they hugged each other again.

"That's right, I want to drink grandma's perilla juice," Yuzuru said.

Their grandma nodded and started to prepare perilla juice for them.

"Yuzuru, who is that guy really?" Yaeko came to them.

Yuzuru sighed, "His name is Yuuki, he is nee-chan's friend, I don't know anything further about him, he really likes to tease me that he will marry Shouko in the future," she said while grumbling.

"Hoo? Some boys want to marry Shouko?" Ito was surprised.

Ito is the mother of Yaeko and the grandmother of Shouko and Yuzuru. She was Shouko's and Yuzuru's primary caretaker after her son-in-law abandoned their family and Yaeko was forced to spend all her time supporting the family financially.

Shouko was blushing, "N-no! Youki is my freenn! An-and, I em suor he hass alreeedy a gerlfrieend," she smiled bitterly.

Yaeko, Yuzuru, and Ito were surprised it was their first time to see Shouko's to have this kind of expression.

"Oh, can you tell me more about him?" Ito asked.

Shouko nodded and started telling them about their meeting.

Yaeko felt worried about Shouko but she was very distant toward her, she wouldn't start to ask her, she didn't say anything and listened to her story.

Shouko told everyone that she met him when she lost her hearing aid, later, Yuuki helped him to search it and found it for her, but, her hearing aid was broken, he gave her a new one, she showed them his hearing aid on her ears.

Ito and Yuzuru were surprised, they thought it was her old one but it was new, they had never noticed it.

"He is a good boy, you should bring him here sometimes," Ito said.

"No way!!! I'm sure he'll take Shouko later!!" Yuzuru didn't want him to come.

"Yies, I wial breng hiim lateer," Shouko said with a smile.

"NEE-CHAN!!" Yuzuru felt betrayed.

Yaeko who heard the story about Yuuki felt he wasn't a bad person but she needed to know more about him, she knew hearing aid wasn't something cheap, it must be very expensive especially when she noticed Shouko could hear better when she was wearing his hearing aids.

Yaeko knew Yuuki must be from someone rich, she didn't believe in man, she had been abandoned by her husband because of her child, she knew the story of Cinderella where the poor girl being courted by a handsome prince was a big lie, she wanted to know his reason to get closer to her daughter.

Yaeko needed to protect them.

---

The next day, Yuuki had prepared himself to go with Shouko to meet Sahara. He didn't really want to meet her and Ishida, especially, he walked to the train station where everyone was waiting.

"Yuuki, you're late!" Yuzuru was mad.

"My bad, there is a black cat suddenly appeared in front of me, there is also an old lady that needs help to cross the street.." Yuuki talked about lame excuses, Shouko who was a gullible belief in him, but Yuzuru, Ishida, and Nagastuka looked at him hateful gaze.

"YOU'RE LYING!!" They had never seen someone so shameless like him.

"Doun't doubht him!" Shouko said, she still couldn't talk properly even though she could listen to their conversation, she was grateful for Yuuki to give her this hearing aids.

Yuuki smiled at them and received their glare, he shook his head and noticed the small guy beside Yuzuru and Ishida.

"I've known Yuzuru and Ishida, but who are you?" Yuuki asked the mushroom head near them.

Nagatsuka who was being called was startled then he smiled and hit his chest and looked very proud, "I'm Ishida's best friend, my name is Tomohiro Nagatsuka."

Yuuki nodded, "Nice to meet you, my name is Yuuki," He didn't mind to know this cool short guy in front of him, he really liked the scene where Ishida asked him the question about a friend.

They talked for a while until the train came, they would go to Sahara's school with a train.

Yuuki looked at the train and surprised to see a poster of 'Sword Art Online' on it. He didn't expect for Sonoko to work so fast, little did he know that his father had helped him.

Yuuki looked at the poster until someone tucked his shirt.

"What's wrong?" Yuuki asked.

[Do you like that novel?] Shouko noticed Yuuki was kept looking at the poster.

Yuuki shook his head, "No, that's my novel actually."

Shouko and Ishida were surprised, they didn't expect for him to be a writer, they talked about it and then talked about Sahara.

Shouko was very grateful to Ishida to help her to meet Sahara, Ishida nodded at her and told her 'it's fine.'

They continued to talk until they arrived at the station.

"Do you know where is she?" Yuuki asked.

"Wait, let me check my phone," Ishida said, "Let's see from here, we walk toward..."

Shouko and Yuuki were waiting and walked toward the escalator. Three of them talked to each other about how to find this 'Sahara' until someone called Shouko.

"SHO-CHAN!!"

Yuuki noticed a tall girl with freckles, gentle eyes, and short black hair.

Shouko and Ishida also turned their heads and saw the girl was running toward them.

"It's me, Sahara! Do you still remember me?" Sahara was in front of them and waved her hand, she noticed two boys beside her, "Ah? Ishida? And?" She looked at the handsome boy in front of her.

"Yuuki," Yuuki said.

Sahara nodded, "Yuuki."

That was how they first met.
