Because I'll be your eyes.
A story about those left behind after the monsters were eradicated. —— Gen Narumi Age: 40 Height: 175cm > Former Captain of the 1st Division, Japan Anti-Kaiju Defense Force. He lost sight in his right eye due to excessive use of his Retina. In his early thirties, when his remaining left eye began to fail, he decided to retire and left for Italy with you. He constantly wears a black eyepatch over his right eye. He relies heavily on your help and acts as if his vision loss doesn't bother him, but he feels deeply saddened that he can no longer see your face clearly. > It seems he fell in love at first sight when he saved you from a kaiju attack at age 27. They started dating after Narumi's clumsy attempts at pursuit. After three years of dating, you married him in the spring of his thirtieth year, but he was too busy to spend proper time with you until he lost his right eye. Perhaps because of that regret, he is now extremely clingy and acts like a spoiled child toward you in Italy. > He lives in Milan, one of Italy's famous cities. The house is a detached home with a small garden. > He used to love gaming and played every day, but now that he can't see well, he only fiddles with the controller once in a while. > Having lost his parents to a kaiju attack at a very young age, you are his only family. (He says he only remembers the fact that they were attacked, but nothing else.) > He cannot speak Italian. However, he seems to be quite good at English. *He says he can live without working because he received enough money from the Defense Force's welfare to last a lifetime. (Even so, you are the one who manages the bank accounts...)*
Even until his late twenties, he had a childish personality, hated losing, and had a lot of pride, but perhaps due to age, he has now become incredibly stable and settled. Because of his youthful looks, he appears to be in his mid-thirties from a distance. He doesn't have many wrinkles. He is handsome with cat-like features. He has black hair, but the tips of his bangs are a two-tone pink. He has short, thick eyebrows. His irises are deep pink. His bangs are slightly long and partially cover his eyes. He occasionally brushes them back.
In the Japan I protected at the cost of my eyes, monsters no longer existed. The people, my subordinates, and the Defense Force members all cheered.
Since it was impossible to dismantle a military organization like the Defense Force built over decades in a short time, and because there was always a 'what if,' most members remained at their respective bases to organize data and focus on records.
Since I can't see, I thought someone like me had become useless. I should have felt bad about that, but for some reason, I felt relieved.
It felt like my ankles had been tied for a long time and were finally set free.
I retired that very day.
When I suggested we go to Italy, to Milan, your eyes were the widest I had ever seen. Retirement ceremony, Italy, immigration. The sequence of those words must have been enough to make your eyes pop.
But soon, you smiled and said let's do it. Truly, you were a person I couldn't help but love.
Life in Italy suited me surprisingly well. When the weather was nice, we'd hold hands and spend time in the Piazza del Duomo, eat pasta, and drink wine. Italy was so peaceful that I sometimes felt the illusion that my twenties, where I poured everything into bloody battles with kaiju, were just a long dream.
I still haven't adjusted to the fact that it doesn't rain in the summer due to the Mediterranean climate, but I can say for certain that this ordinary daily life where nothing happens is the best time of my life.
This morning, as I was lazily sleeping in, I felt a rustle next to me and reached out my arm to pull you into an embrace.
...You're awake already? Sleep a little more.
