it is time to go

[takuya's pov]

I was eating a piece of watermelon together with Nagasumi and Grandma Michishio who is next to Nagasumi.

Behind us were mr.naga and mrs.sumi, my mother must be somewhere... she left early for a walk.

"Hey, nagasumi, takuya. Tomorrow we will return to saitama" - said mr.naga while nagasumi spits out the watermelon at her father's sudden words.

"TOMORROW, WHY SO SUDDENLY DAD AND WHY ARE YOU NOT SURPRISED?" - Nagasumi yelled as he asked his father and then he turned to me and watched me eat my watermelon in peace.

"I already knew" - I replied after eating the watermelon bite... I hadn't eaten watermelon for a long time so I was enjoying it.

"WHAT, WHY DIDN'T THEY TELL ME BEFORE?" - Nagasumi yelled again as he looked at her parents with a little annoyance for not telling her.

"Yuriko-san was the one who told takuya" - answered this time mrs.sumi.

"Takuya, we told the seto family yesterday, why don't you go and say goodbye to san-chan?" - said mr.naga while he looked at me, sad? I don't know, it's hard to recognize the look when my back is to him.

"It's... fine" - I replied with a small pause... I already knew it since the trip to the island, but somehow it was difficult for me to say it.

"I'm going to walk, then I'm going to say goodbye to san-chan" - I said as I got up to leave, I had already finished eating the watermelon.

"Of course" - answered mr.naga while mrs.sumi and grandma michishio said goodbye to me waving, nagasumi is depressed because tomorrow we're leaving.

I decided to go for a walk because it would give me a little time to think...what I want for the relationship I have with san.

That is to say, in a way, I am happy with the relationship. Being engaged to a girl like san is a dream come true, but somehow my heart is a bit sad, where is the harem that I wanted to form after deciding to live my new life to the best of my ability.

Having a harem was a wish since before I was reborn and after I was reborn, but now I'm with this problem, this big problem.

On one side is san the best girl I could have asked for, on the other my desires to have a harem.

"GOD THIS IS A DIFFICULT DECISION" - I yelled while scratching my head in frustration.

'Because I'm not like those reincarnated who find it extremely easy to make a harem. What do they have that I don't? Some ability that makes it easier for them to create one? A strong will to decide to create one? Strong enough to create one? Or is it something else?' - I thought as I watched my dream go as it came

"I'm becoming a big dreamer" - I said as a sad smile crossed my face.

"Takuya-san is becoming a big dreamer?" - I heard san's voice behind my back, which surprised me making me jump back.

"San, san-chan?" - I said as I looked at her surprised. How did she get so close without me noticing? Does she not make a noise when walking or what?

"Hello Takuya-san, how are you?" - san greeted while I looked to the sides realizing that she had reached the beach.

'How the hell did I get here?' - I thought as I quickly returned to reality.

"Hahaha Hello san-chan, I'm fine and how have you been?" - I asked her as she made an idiot smile.

"I'm fine, takuya-san why are you yelling in frustration?" - I ask while I had a micro heart attack.

"Ah, I'm not just thinking things about my training and stuff, I don't know how to train to improve my swordsmanship and my new power, so don't worry" - I said as my micro-infarction passed and I answered with a lie not so lie .

It's true that I don't know how to train those two things, but that's not why I'm frustrated.

"Oh so Takuya-san is yelling about it, so even though I can't teach you how to control that power, I think I can teach you how to get better with the sword" - san replied. Although I noticed that he saw me trying to figure out if I told any lies, but he seems to see that he let it go, because he didn't see that I was lying… I was saved.

"Huh, san-chan do you know how to handle a sword?" - Ask surprised. I thought that being the daughter of such an overprotective father, she would not know how to do something like that... she should stop thinking about such things.

"Hmmm, masa-san taught me a sword style a while ago" - san replied.

'The person who nagasumi gave his first kiss knows how to handle a sword' - I thought remembering masa-san... somehow I don't see him being a swordsman, but I can't be guided by his appearance.

"Well, it would certainly be nice if you taught me, but I don't think that will happen. Tomorrow I have to go back to Saitama" - I answered with some sadness. one of leaving san-chan, I still have to marry her and the other is that I have no one to teach me sword and being from the supernatural side of the world they should have a better style than the one they teach in dojos.

"Takuya-san..." - san-chan called out to me so he turned to look at her.

"Haven't you heard? I'll live with you in your house" - he said while I was paralyzed by the words he just told me.

"What..." - That was the only thing I managed to say before the scene changed again.

"I am the person who will become your wife, doing it halfway would be a disgrace to the setouchi mermaids" - he said as he crouched down and placed her fingers in front of her.

"I know I'm inexperienced, but accept me as I am" - she said as she looked down and somehow flower petals fell.

"..." - I wanted to say something but I couldn't, was my last chance to end the marriage gone?

"But is it okay? We're still school students, is it okay for you to change schools, are our parents okay with this?" - I asked to confirm since it is surprising I thought that the relationship would end because we were separated, but it turns out that she is coming with us.

"Were you surprised takuya when you heard it directly from san?" - Mr. Naga asked as he came out of a rock next to him was Mrs. Sumi, Grandma Michishio, Mrs. Ren, Nagasumi and my mother... where was he today?

"Aren't you happy takuya?" - asked my mother... why do you look like you got something you wanted for a long time.

"What's so good about that" - nagasumi spat while she had an envious face, she forgot how I got this marriage?.

"With your annoying and overprotective father away, you can flirt whenever you want" - said Mrs. Ren... how much do you want your daughter to get married?

"..." - I stared at them while trying not to sigh... really, I can't live a quiet life before I start looking for the digi-spirits?

[third person pov]

[seto family house]

In the room, seto gozaburo and maki could be seen sitting opposite each other.

"My San... HE HAS DECIDED TO LIVE WITH THAT ROBBER WORM"- gozaburo spoke while his face showed how much anger he was feeling.

"San-sama will go to the house of that sea cockroach" - maki said surprised while her face also showed the anger she was feeling.

"San said: I'm takuya-san's fiancee and I'll go with him to saitama" - gozaburo said as he cried blood.

'Tears of blood, the boss had never been so sad before'-maki thought surprised as she looked at her boss.

"And the worst thing is that he decided it on his account" - said while it seemed that his soul wanted to leave his body.

"BOSS" - maki yelled as she looked at her boss.

"I CAN ONLY OBSERVE WITH EVERYTHING I HAVE" - shout gozaburo while he wanted to destroy everything that is like that happened.

[takuya's pov]

[The next day]

"Our san is a bit clueless, but please take care of her" - said Mrs. Ren while she had san by her side

"It will be a pleasure to take care of your beautiful daughter, san" - my mother replied as mrs.sumi nodded, she also promised to help take care of san.

"What's wrong Takuya?" - Grandma michishio asked seeing that I was a little nervous.

"Oh, nothing, I just still can't believe that san is coming to saitama with us" - I said while trying to give my smile a little nervous. i'm worried because san will come with us to saitama. I am happy but at the same time a little sad.

"Oh takuya" - she just said that while she patted me on the back and then went to say goodbye to her grandson.

"Takuya-san here" - san said as she gave me a bottle of juice.

"Thank you san-chan" - I said as I went to grab the juice.

"My father gave it to me so we could drink it on the train" - he said making me stop my hand for a moment but then go ahead and grab it.

'He said so that san and I drink it together, I don't think it will endanger his daughter' - I said but just in case I'll just take a little so as not to despise what san gave me.

Some time later we were already inside the train, Grandma Michishio and Mrs. Ren were saying goodbye to us.

"San-chan what's wrong?" - I asked as I looked at san outside the window... seriously, somehow you make me feel bad about this.

"I was fine saying goodbye to my classmates. But I had to leave ha maki at home" - he said as he unconsciously stabbed me in the heart. here I am undecided because of a stupid thing and she is sad for leaving everything and following me to saitama.

Even though it wasn't my fault that the mermaids had such stupid rules, but it still makes me feel bad that san had to marry me so that neither of us would be killed, this happens to me for being weak.

'As the greatest sin is weakness' - I thought as I looked at san and still didn't know what to do... although it sure seems like I'll have to leave my dream behind.

"Takuya-san the bullet train is through this place" - san said as I followed her.

Sitting on the bullet train, san was next to me and nagasumi was sitting on the left side.

While I was reflecting on my life, I looked out the window and... I saw my father-in-law.

'We're supposed to be going at about 170 km per hour, what's he doing there?' - I thought as I closed the window without trying to listen to him.

"What was it just now?" - San asked while I tried not to show nervousness that his father is on the other side.

While I was beating the train I heard my father-in-law's voice saying that he was falling but with one last strong blow I heard him yelling away from the train... he deserves that and more.

"For a second I thought I heard my dad flying away" - she said as I stopped her from moving and smiled like an idiot.

"Huh, you're not mistaken? How about we eat some sweets. Nagasumi can you pass some sweets from that bag" - I said as I changed the conversation but nagasumi had the bag of sweets so I spoke to him.

Nagasumi opened the bag and what he found surprised us.

"Little... what the hell do you think you're doing?" - maki asked nagasumi before she throws a pocky at his forehead and it stays embedded half killing nagasumi... really?.

"What is maki-chan doing here?" - asked san as he looked at maki... worry a little about the dead man, san-chan.

"Because since I won't see you in a long time, I'll go to saitama with you" - she said while jumping to hug san... while I was trying to save nagasumi.

"What. why so suddenly?" - asked san surprised by what maki said.

After that, she realized that Nagasumi was dying and started helping me save him.

Then the ride back home was quiet, outside in my mind I was going on with my thoughts.

'Well for now let's leave it at that' - I thought, I won't solve anything thinking about it now.

=========

Now takuya saw reality and is struggling between his morals and his wishes/dreams.

On the one hand there is the moral of him to stay together with san and fulfill the part of him that is to marry san. while the two compromise by leaving their freedom to protect their lives.

On the other hand, her wish / her dream of having a harem, a dream that she has since she started watching anime and that she wanted to fulfill after being reborn. but now he is engaged and his morals are preventing him from fulfilling his dream.

(apart from the other reasons)

So a part of him thought that by leaving setouchi, he will have a long-distance relationship and in time the people of the sea will forget about him, they will leave him alone and he will not have to get married.

But now knowing that san will go with him to saitama, he put his head more indecisively, and being weak he can't do much.

To have takuya say that he wants to have a harem in front of san's father, that's the end of takuya.

So I took the opportunity and used the lie about how he didn't know how to improve his swordsmanship, so that san will tell that she knows how to swordsmanship and that she can help him. (I'm a genius :v)

But hey, the problems that a person always has between his morals and his wishes. Whether it is right or wrong to follow his wishes or his morals.

I hope you liked the chapter.
