“I’m going to date Taku.”

Those were Miu’s words from last night, said to me when I was still basking in post-date bliss. The words she had said while looking straight through me with a penetrating gaze.

“Come to think of it, you always were saying that Taku and I should date. Your dream was for Taku and me to get married, right?”

I couldn’t say anything back.

“Well, good for you, mom! Your dream will come true!”

It was all so sudden.

“Can I count on you, mom?”

Where was this coming from?

“You’ll root for me, right?”

Upon receiving this news—no, this declaration of war—from my daughter, I...

“Yes, of course,” I responded after a short pause, somehow managing to get the words out. My heart was greatly shaken up, but I said it, doing my best to sound calm as I desperately hid my emotional state. “As your mother...nothing would make me happier than if you were to date Takkun. Just like you said, I’ve always wanted you two to get together.”

Miu listened intently.

“If you two want to date, I will root for you from the bottom of my heart.” After getting to that point, I took a breath before adding on, “...if you’re serious about him.”

“If I’m serious...?”

“Yes, that’s right. It’s true that I’ve always wanted you two to end up together... But that was because I thought you had feelings for him.” I’d always thought that they’d make a great couple, being childhood friends and all. I’d thought that Miu just couldn’t be honest with herself and had liked Takkun for a long time. “Unfortunately... I recently found out that was all just a misunderstanding on my part.”

Miu continued to listen silently.

“If it’s like you just said, and you’re only trying to date him because I won’t...then I’m sorry, but I can’t support you. It would be rude to him if you dated him for a reason like that.”

“Hmm. I see...” Miu began in an insolent tone after hearing what I had to say. “That’s a pretty good excuse you’ve come up with.”

“A-An excuse...?”

“You should just admit it. Admit that you’ve fallen in love with Taku, so you don’t want to give him to me.”

“Wh—?! Th-That’s not true! What are you talking about?!” I denied in a panic as Miu snickered.

“Well, I guess you aren’t lying. You’d only wanted us to get together because you’d mistakenly thought that I liked him, and you’d also mistakenly thought that he liked me.”

I’d thought he liked Miu... That’s true, I had mistakenly thought that they probably had feelings for each other.

“But, now you know how Taku really feels,” Miu continued. “You know that it was you who he’s liked this whole time, not me. I guess I can’t blame you for not rooting for me then.”

I didn’t respond.

“Okay, got it. Then the deal is off.”

“‘The deal’...?”

“Isn’t it? I’m going to date Taku like I said I would earlier. I’m going to do a lot of things moving forward so he’ll want to date me.”

I listened silently as she continued.
