"Geez, you are over exaggerating. I am fine. There is no need to worry about my granddaughter!"
As the plump older woman heard from the nurse that her granddaughter was about to come, she couldn't help but grow annoyed, anxious, worried, and helpless.
"What are you saying?! You have just passed out! Your family needs to know! You know your body, right, Ichinose-san?"
"That's why I told you that I am fine—"
"Grandma."
"....."
Before Sayuri Ichinose finished her words, she looked at the entrance of the ward, her beautiful granddaughter, who looked at her worriedly, making her helpless at her aging, but her eyes widened when she saw a man, and she asked subconsciously with an excited voice, "W-Who is that, Chizuru?!"
"....." Chizuru.
Yet, Nifuji, who came along with Chizuru, also wasn't sure what to say in this situation, especially when he could see the excitement that came from Chizuru's grandmother.
'Rental boyfriend...'
When he thought of how his situation had become, he felt a bit weak somehow.
After all, could he, just he who lost his virginity, do it?
Also, was a rental girlfriend or boyfriend such a hard and difficult job that they had to meet the family of their renters as soon as possible?
Still, he was an adult, so he was more or less calm, and more importantly, as a man, he needed to lead, yet for this situation, he hoped for Chizuru to break the silence, so that way, he could understand the boundary that he needed to take since if he said that he was her boyfriend, it was impossible to take that back—
"H-He is my boyfriend, Grandma!"
With a reddened face, Chizuru held his hand tightly as she answered her grandmother's question.
"....."
Yup, Nifuji felt that he thought too much, but as Chizuru made such an introduction, he bowed his head lightly and introduced himself. "My name is Nifuji Hirotaka, and I am Chizuru-san's boyfriend. We might only date each other for a short moment, but please take care of me..."
"Grandma! Please call me Grandma, Nifuji-kun!"
"...then, grandma."
"Good, good~!"
"...." 2x
Regardless, after that introduction, Chizuru's grandma, Sayuri Ichinose, seemed to forget all the pains in her body and talked endlessly with Nifuji, asking him about many things, including how they met, their confession, and others.
"How did you two meet?"
"She just happened to help me when I dropped my file case for work, then we happened to meet often, and we started to go out together."
"Then, who started the confession first?"
"Grandma!"
Chizuru's face was as red as a ripened tomato, as her grandmother continued to ask many things, but at the same time, she was also worried, as she had troubled Nifuji so much!
What if... what if this question led to the fact that their fake relationship was discovered?
"What's wrong? Are you shy? It doesn't matter, right? So, who confessed first?"
As Sayuri was so persistent, Chizuru could only bite the bullet, "Me! I am the one who confessed first!"
"Eh? You confessed first, Chizuru?!"
"..."
Now, it was Nifuji's turn, who was speechless as he could see that Sayuri stared at him, so he took a deep breath and decided to bite the bullet too. 'It's embarrassing... but that's the truth. I have been indecisive, and... I am much, much older than Chizuru-san. She is such a wonderful and charming woman, so instead of an old man like me... I thought she would be better with someone else, yet as she made that confession, I am prepared to take care of her."
"...." 2x
"Old man? That's not true, right? Even if you are much older, it doesn't matter since she loves you and you love her, but how old are you, Nifuji-kun?"
"Er... 27."
"That's still young!"
"...."
Was it?
Yet, Nifuji couldn't help but think that their age difference was quite huge, as Chizuru was 19 years old, which made them have an eight-year age difference.
Still, the two thought differently as they felt that for a man to be older was a plus point, as it meant he was mature and could be relied on.
"By the way, where are you working now?"
"I am working in the..."
By then, it was the usual question of the parents, who asked the questions to their son-in-law, yet with his qualifications, he was simply the most desired son-in-law.
"Even if I die, I know that I can entrust Chizuru to you..."
What Sayuri was worried about was her granddaughter, who had been living alone, and because of that, if Chizuru had someone that she could rely on, she would be happy.
"Grandma, don't make such a joke!"
Yes, for Chizuru, who listened to those words, it wasn't funny!
"She is right. You should live a long life."
"Hahaha... that's true! I should see my great-grandchildren first~!"
As Sayuri laughed happily, Nifuji and Chizuru could only look at each other with helpless expressions.
Fortunately, he could take a break, and because of that, he went directly to the smoking room and smoked.
Frankly, he hoped to break this habit, but he couldn't help but smoke when he encountered problems that caused him a headache.
Still, he looked at his smartphone for a while and saw a chat from Eri and Mayuri, who had been waiting for him.
Eri: "We have prepared~!"
Mayuri: "I-I won't wear this, but... well, since you like it..."
"....."
After all the drama that had happened, Nifuji was tempted, yet how could his little brother rise after all the episodes that had happened with Chizuru?
However, when Chizuru had a headache, and her grandmother had accompanied her, she felt helpless as she tidied up all the clothes she had picked up.
"But, I am glad." Sayuri showed a sweet smile as she lay on her bed. "You are able to find a dependable boyfriend."
"...." Chizuru.
"He is a good catch. You should just get pregnant by him."
"Grandma!"
"I have seen his lower body before, and it seems he is huge!"
"Grandma!" Chizuru's face was so red when she heard Sayuri's words.
"It must be wonderful to be held by him..." Sayuri let out an envious sigh, thinking of how wonderful Nifuji's was.
"...how could you tell that he is big?" Chizuru muttered helplessly.
"Don't underestimate me. I've had a lot of experience before. That big bulge in his pants, I won't miss it!"
"...." Chizuru.
Should she feel sorry for her deceased grandfather?
"Don't worry. I just hugged him before. He is still yours, including that part of him~!"
Sayuri thought that Chizuru got jealous, thinking that she had done something dirty with her boyfriend.
"....." Chizuru.
Was her grandmother such a pervy woman?
Chizuru felt a bit disillusioned, but when she thought of how her grandmother was in the showbiz industry before, there might be a chance for many things to happen.
"...did many things happen in the showbiz industry when you were an actress, Grandma?"
Sayuri let out a helpless sigh and said, "It might be a bright industry, shining and dazzling, but because of that, it hides away the darkness there. I know that you want to become an actress, but I just want you to live well since..."
"No, you will live a long life!"
Sayuri showed a gentle smile as she said, "Then, go and make me great-grandchildren, so I can live a long life."
"...." Chizuru.
"Also, for your first time... you should..."
"Grandma!"
Yup, Chizuru really wondered what she should do?!
