I (30), Who Works for a Black Company and Died While Regretting My Gloomy Life, Started Over From High School!

Arrived at a Future of Happiness

In a quiet residential neighborhood, there stood a house. It was a stylish two-story, monochrome-colored structure with a modern cube-like design.

This brand-new, splendid house was now my home.

(Perhaps its a bit too grand for me But, with the increased headcount, the apartment was getting a bit cramped.)

While this house might be a bit extravagant for a guy in his twenties like me, most of the purchase cost was covered by Tokimune-san.

Naturally, I tried to decline, but he insisted, saying, Please! Your new beginning brings tears of joy to both me and my wife! As parents, let us do at least this much for you!

(Oh, the lights are on again)

In my previous life, the only thing that greeted me every day was the darkness of a tiny apartment. Compared to that, the warm glow escaping from the windows of this house was a marvel.

Thinking such, I approached the front door

Welcome home, Shinichirou-kun!

Right in front of the entrance, she, adorned in an apron, was waiting.

With her glossy, long hair, milky-white skin, and eyes that sparkled like precious gemstones, her beauty, which would put any actress to shame, was illuminated by the gentle light of our home.

Her grown-up beauty was beyond comparison, even to actresses. Yet, her pure and virtuous heart remained unchanged from those days. To call her anything less than a goddess would be an understatement. She smiled even brighter than she did when we were high school students.

(Ah)

The fatigue from a days work and the lingering traces of alcohol both vanished at the sight of her smile.

The most important person to me. The one who embraced and understood the overflowing feelings of my love.

My wife, Haruka, who I admired every day she was there.

Im back, Haruka. Did you really have to come all the way to greet me?

Yes, well, when I closed the curtains on the second floor, I happened to see you coming back I just felt like giving you a nice welcome.

She told me with a smile as radiant as blooming flowers.

Embracing Haruka, I felt the intoxicating scent and warmth that made my head spin. I cherished the sensation of her body, which seemed to exude sensuality.

Dear Were still outside, you know?

I couldnt help myself.

Honestly, even though no ones around, were still outside, you know?

I couldnt help myself.

Haruka blushed, but allowed herself to be embraced, closing her eyes slowly.

And so, I kissed her, a kiss that Id lost count of.

As our lips met, our hearts communicated our feelings. We were filled with happiness.

Sorry, but now that Ive calmed down a bit, Im starting to feel a little embarrassed too.

Releasing Haruka from my arms, I blushed, belatedly feeling the shame.

Maybe it was because of the sake with Tokimune-san earlier, or the messages from my former classmates, but it seemed my mood was quite elevated.

Well, Im happy about it. My beloved Shinichirou always expresses his feelings like this for me.

In the moonlight, Haruka smiled gently.

In this way, my wife always delighted me with such gestures.

(Well Its been almost five years since we got married But my passion for Haruka seems to increase more and more.)

From dating in our second year of high school to entering the same university, and then getting married while starting work even after accounting for the turbulence in between, what comes to mind are only happy memories.

Despite this, having once tasted this flavor, I find myself constantly dominated by the desire to be affectionate.

Welcome hooome!

Hwaah!?

Suddenly, a figure rushed towards me like a bullet and delivered a powerful tackle to my legs.

Startled, I looked down at my feet and there was a little angel.

Welcome home, Daddy! Thank you for working hard!

Ah S-Sakura

Hugging me tightly at my legs, my three-year-old daughter, Sakura, beamed a full smile.

With her silky, lustrous hair grown out a bit, she inherited her mothers beauty and had an untroubled smile that could melt anyones heart.

For me, the most important thing in the world exists in twos without a clear winner. One of them is my incredibly adorable daughter, Sakura.

So, Daddy and Mommy were kissing again?

S-Sakura P-Please dont say that kind of thing outside

Well, Sakura really likes it when Daddy and Mommy kiss, and when Sakura gets kissed too!

Alreadybut, youre right. Mom likes to kiss on Sakura, too.

After saying that, Haruka bent her knees to meet her daughters eyes and gently kissed her cheek. Then, Sakura narrowed her eyes, looking very happy.

(ah)

As I looked at the two people I love, I felt everything inside me become completely satisfied. It is precisely because I know the emptiness and despair of something that did not happen that I can deeply feel that this scene has more value than all the goods in the world. My heart is so full that it feels like its going to overflow, and Im so overcome with emotion that my eyes are hot.

(I have arrived at the future I had hoped for.)

I suddenly thought of my own history. It started with regret for a life filled with failures. I was so miserable that I had no choice but to continue shedding tears and vomiting blood.

Next, fueled by regret, I began to run, turning my wishes into a path.

I raced with my whole being, unafraid to fight for what I truly desired, in order to obtain it.

And so, I find myself here now.

To the horizon I yearned, prayed, and longed for with a fervor bordering on madness, I have finally arrived.

Well then, shall we go inside? Hehe, today we have hamburgers, which Sakura loves! And as a bonus, theres a sunny-side-up egg too!

Really!? Wow, I have to wash my hands quickly!

As Haruka spoke with an expression full of tenderness, Sakuras eyes sparkled with excitement. She dashed towards the entrance and hurriedly went inside the house.

Seeing our adorable daughter like this, our cheeks softened with a big smile.

Well then, lets get inside too. Ah, Haruka.

Yes?

These were words Id spoken countless times, and I was aware of how often I said them. Still, when my feelings overflowed in my heart, I couldnt help but say these words.

I love you.

!

Just a moment ago, we embraced and shared a kiss, yet every time Haruka hears my feelings, she blushes like this. Her reaction, unchanged since our school days, is irresistibly endearing.

Yes I feel the same way.

Haruka, with her cheeks tinged a soft peach, speaks with heartfelt emotion.

I love you too, Shinichirou.

In the nights darkness, Haruka wears a radiant smile akin to a blossoming flower. Theres not a hint of shadow, only an overflow of pure happiness.

And so, hand in hand, we turn towards our warm, glowing home.

In my heart, theres a modest pride in the continuous strides Ive taken. Ahead lies a path that shines so brilliantly in the future. By my side is the person with whom Ive shared my feelings, a small crystal of happiness.

Savoring the miracle of the happiness weve reached

We step forward into the future weve fought hard to grasp.

(The End)

(TLN) Thats it bois! We are done!! For those who dont know I also do another series, similar yet different. I put it on the back-burner because this story was just so much more popular and I wanted to finish it. Now that its done, I will be going back to Future Husband and I think I will pick up another project and alternate between the two daily. If you have any ideas on what I should pick up, post it in the comments. Thanks so much everyone, especially those supporters!
