When I, a Mob, Saved the Heroine, I Got a Roundhouse Kick and Passed Out, and My Romantic Comedy Beg

Chapter 63

Chapter 63 – Marital Vows

Himeka-san’s passionate kisses continued, making it hard to breathe, and when I desperately tapped her back to express my surrender, she finally let me go…

“Hah…hah… After a rough day, hah-ah… You’re still full of energy, huh? Hah…”

“Because! It’s finally happening! Hah…hah…”

Himeka-san had stopped crying before I knew it.

Then, the both of us realized…

Mama-san was also in the changing room.

Mama-san looked very happy and had a nasty grin on her face.

“Hiii!”

“Oh my, you don’t have to worry about Mama, okay? Ufufu, I got to see the good stuff☆”

“M-Mama!?”

“Moriyama-kun, you’re staying at our house today. It’s hard for Himeka-chan to stand up by herself, so you take care of her, Moriyama-kun.”

“What!? B-But Mama-san is right, Himeka-san will need to be cared for for a while… then I’m the only one who can do that job… Just in time for the winter holidays, which start tomorrow, I, Ichiro Moriyama, have accepted the responsibility of taking care of the saint Himeka-san. I will do my very best.”

“M-Moriyama-kun is staying at our house!? Hah…”

“I will contact Moriyama-kun’s mother, so don’t worry, okay?”

“Thank you for your concern.”

While Urushibara-san was taking a shower, I was at the dojo thanking the teacher for letting me visit.

The teacher told me about the recent Urushibara-san.

“About a month ago, she showed up at the dojo with her hair short and shaggy, and said she had cut it herself to make up for her weakness. Then, the next day, she came to the dojo again, looking serious and wanting to try the Hyakunin Kumite challenge.”

“I see… On behalf of Urushibara-san, I would like to express my sincere gratitude.”

I bowed my head and thanked not only the teacher but also the other students…

◇

After Himeka-san finished getting dressed, we left the dojo, this time with her on my back, and the three of us returned to the Urushibara residence in Mama-san’s car.

I carried Himeka-san to her room and put her on the bed, and when I got up to put away her belongings, I was grabbed by the sleeves of my clothes.

“What’s wrong? Shall I get you a drink?”

“No, I’d rather have a kiss than a drink.”

“Hmm, it’s embarrassing, but I’ve already been through it, so there’s nothing I can do here.”

Saying that, I closed my eyes and kissed Himeka-san’s forehead, who was waiting for a kiss with her mouth.

“N-Not on the forehead! Mou~!”

I quickly got up and started to clear away Himeka-san’s belongings as if to escape.

Even though her body is already at its limits and battered after all that hard work, she’s still in her pampering mode. That is just like Himeka-san.

Mama-san prepared a light meal and brought them to the room, so we had a late dinner together…

Furthermore, Mama-san carried a futon to Himeka-san’s room, where we will sleep together tonight.

Sure, I need to be here to care for her, but what’s this?

Isn’t this unacceptable from Urushibara’s father’s point of view?

While I was thinking about this alone, Urushibara’s father came home at the right time and came to the room.

“Himeka, are you alright?”

“Yeah, I’m sorry for worrying you, Papa.”

“So you’re the Moriyama-kun I’ve heard so much about?”

I stood up vigorously and greeted him in an upright, attentive posture.

“Nice to meet you! My name is Ichiro Moriyama! I am very much indebted to Urushibara-san!”

“I see, I see, take care of Himeka. Well, I’m going to eat and have a bath.”

He then simply walked out of the room.

“U-Um, Himeka-san? From your dad’s point of view, is it OK for his daughter’s boyfriend to sleep together with his precious daughter in the same room?”

“Hmm, he didn’t say anything when he saw the futon for Moriyama-kun, so it’s probably okay. In the first place, Mama prepared the futon.”

“I see…”

“I’ll tell you what! This is a chance for revenge! Sleeping in the same futon together!”

“Y-You’re right…”

Now it’s my turn to be ready.

“Well then, I have a test at the hospital tomorrow, so let’s go to bed early today…”

“Hiya!”

Mama had prepared a futon for me, but I didn’t use it. Instead, I said, “Excuse me for disturbing you,” and climbed into Himeka-san’s bed.

Himeka-san used a remote control to switch the lights to a small orange light.

“A-A-A-Arm pillow!”

“Yes.”

Himeka-san placed her head on my left arm and held my body close to hers.

“Ufufu… Hah…hah…”

“Does your body hurt? Let me know if it’s too sore.”

“Don’t worry. I’ve been working out.”

“Come to think of it, what made you decide to take on such a rough challenge?”

I asked the question while listening to Himeka-san’s breath coming from right in front of me.

“Well… because I wanted to be a woman worthy of Moriyama-kun?”

“Hmm? If someone is as good as the saint Himeka-san, I’m the one who’s not worthy.”

“No. I was so in love that I didn’t realize how selfish and self-indulgent I was until that day.”

“I don’t think so.”

“But it’s true. Moriyama-kun always put my health first, but all I did was put a burden on him. I realized that I wasn’t good enough for Moriyama-kun, but I couldn’t give up on him, so I decided to change myself by trying to beat my guts out and came up with the idea of doing Hyakunin Kumite.”

“I see… but you’re being too reckless. Your body is precious.”

“That’s what I’m talking about. That’s what’s wonderful about Moriyama-kun. He always takes care of me first.”

“Yes, that’s normal. Since you’re a very dear person to me.”

When Himeka-san heard my words, she suddenly hugged me.

“I’ve been holding back for so long! I’m going to indulge myself a lot tonight!”

Saying that, she buried her face in my chest.

With my free right hand, I gently stroked Himeka-san’s head for the first time ever since her hair had been cut short.

◇

When I woke up the next morning, Himeka-san, who had been sleeping on my arm, was already awake.

“Good morning, Himeka-san.”

“Good morning, Ichiro-kun.”

“How is your body? Can you move?”
