Sharing the Bed
After asking Akane's parents for her hand in marriage once again, our relationship has taken another step forward. They readily agreed for it to be registered as soon as I hit the legal age.
Well, we're already living like a married couple all this time so that will be just for formality.
Telling her Dad about our plan for the future, living together with everyone. I agree with the things he pointed out. What we wanted is really something impossible. He probably gave those pieces of advice such as to continue learning with some kind of hope that most girls will give up on hoping for that future as time passes.
Sure, that's a huge possibility. Even if I look at the future optimistically, some will lose heart at the goal we're trying to reach. If that happens, no one will stop them. I just need to reach it with those who will stay until the end.
