The Reason (1)

"Eh?"

Even Akane couldn't hide her surprise from what Miwa-nee said.

"What do you mean Miwa-nee?"

Miwa-nee looked straight at me, her eyes containing an apologetic expression. She really thought she's the reason.

"You probably don't remember, Ruki. That night when I accepted my parent's arrangement. You were with me."

She's recalling what happened so we both stayed silent to hear what Miwa-nee will say.

"I told you, you're the reason why I accepted their arrangement, right? Because Ruki, I started looking at you as not just my nephew."

"I got scared. Thinking I might do something I shouldn't. Akane and you were clearly in love with each other back then. Even I couldn't separate you from each other."

Ah. Now even Miwa-nee is saying the same thing as Auntie. Akane and I being in love with each other.
