The fields of autumn, the village of fortune

In the hall, Akita Hiroyoshi and Yukimura Goro tied for the first place.The first two mothers, Akita Miko and Yukimura Hideko sat opposite each other.Seiichi Yukimura and his older sister Mieko sat opposite each other again.Mieko stared straight ahead, but obviously did not focus on Yukimura Seiichi who was opposite.Seeing Mieko like this, the mother stretched out her hand under the table to remind her quietly.Mieko was unmoved.Yukimura Seiichi froze and lowered his head slightly.Aunt Yukimura seemed even more anxious than before.

Finally, Miwako and Yuki Yukimura, Seiichi Yukimura's younger sister.Miwako looked at Yuki who was seriously sitting opposite. She was wearing two shofar braids and a kimono with pink and white cherry blossoms on a water blue background. She was carefully controlling the expression on her face just like when she was a child.Miwako smiled at her, Yuki blushed and lowered her head.

"It turned out to be a shy little girl." Miwako thought about this over and over in her heart, trying her best to pretend that she didn't notice the stiff atmosphere.

"Hongyi-kun, this visit is for Jingshi and Lingmei Mieko's marriage...Jingshi's illness this time needs to be cured, and surgery may be needed... During this period, the condition has stabilized for the time being. Therefore, We hope that the two children can get married as soon as possible."

"As for Jingichi's illness, our Akita family believes that he will recover. You don't need to worry too much. Regarding the marriage, Jingichi is seriously ill this time, and Mieko should really go through the house as soon as possible so that he can take care of Jingichi. "

Hearing what Akita Hiroyoshi said, both Yukimura Goro and Hideko breathed a sigh of relief.Miwako's heart tightened.

Sure enough, Mieko spoke:

"I, will not marry Yukimura-kun."

Mieko actually didn't speak very hard, but in this too quiet hall, her words echoed loudly in everyone's ears.

Akita Hiroyoshi's face turned livid, and he said, "Mieko!!"

"Please forgive me for not being able to express my opinion tactfully, I will never fulfill this marriage contract."

In Miwako's memory, that moment was really chaotic.The mother shook her elder sister desperately, and seemed to be whispering something in her ear, but her elder sister was still kneeling upright.Auntie Xiuzi seemed to have a heartache, clutching her chest tightly.Yuki seemed to be frightened, she pursed her mouth and was about to cry.The father had already jumped up and pointed at his sister, but couldn't swear a word.Uncle Yukimura kept saying sorry to his father, saying that they shouldn't bring up the marriage of the two families so hastily, but he also asked his old friend to understand the current situation of their family. They only have one son, Seiichi...

Miwako kept looking at Yukimura Seiichi.Everyone's reactions were expected, but it was really hard for her to imagine how this proud young man known as the "Son of God" should have, or could have reacted, to such a situation.

His whole body was tense, his hands clenched into fists, his knuckles turned white, he gritted his teeth, and closed his eyes forcefully.Finally, I couldn't bear it anymore and supported the ground, and stood up.His voice was harsh, as if it came from his throat:

"I'm sorry. I'm... sorry for causing today's situation."

Looking at such a Yukimura Seiichi who was suppressing pain all over her body, Miwako was sure that she was in a trance, thinking a lot in her mind, really should be a lot, so much that she couldn't keep up with her own thinking.But she clearly remembered that she stood up and said to her father and mother:

"I would like to marry into Yukimura's family."

The hall fell silent again.
