Chapter 37 – Mother Yule (1)

I remembered the dining table from hell that was like the Last Supper.

I overcame the pressure, even though my stomach felt like it was pierced with strong acid.

I told Mikuma our house number and our phone number, who my dad drove home, and that first smile I saw for the first time seemed to be a death sentence.

It’s been 2 weeks since then.

The twins are the picture of health, at least from what I can see, Jaja and Nana are healthily crying every day.

In the morning they wake up and cry, during lunch they eat and cry, in the evening they play and cry, and in the middle of the night, they for some reason cry and shout.

We can’t take our eyes off them.

Their sleeping time and mental power were slowly being whittled away.

In contrast to me, who was getting weaker day by day, Aoi was improving as a mother day by day.

For example, even if she was in a deep sleep, she would show super-responsiveness and get up at an unstoppable speed because of the children’s preparatory movement of their crying sounds.

It’s the part before ‘Fuee’?

I kind of understand it.

There is also remarkable improvement in her motherly skills.

How to soothe them, how to put them to sleep, shortening the time to change diapers, and quickly changing to breastfeeding.

Before I realized it she’s already rolled up her clothes, I really wish you’ll stop that.

“I’ve already told you my thoughts, so it’s all right to look at me without minding it?”

Not!

I care!

In the first place, it turned out that this fellows view of love was learned from TV.

On the rooftop of a building where you can see the sunset, an ordinary person wouldn’t be able to enter a place like that.

She confided in Mikuma and Saeki who came to play every Saturday that she wanted to be confessed to by me in a place like that.

As for Mikuma, she was visibly different from before.

First was the exposure.

She was very shy and had her face hidden by her hair until middle school.

Now it was completely open.

The thick glasses were changed into fashionable red frames, and now she could see straight through into my eyes.

She probably mustered a considerable amount of courage.

She looks embarrassed and her face is always red, I’m worried.

It’s casual clothes.

I didn’t have many opportunities to see her in casual clothing, but I remember that she used to wear jackets and jeans, it’s not that it didn’t suit her, but it was unfashionable.

Her breasts, are honestly huge.

She told me that she disliked the stabbing gazes of men when she wore those clothes.

Even though I made sure not to ask.

Presently she was wearing a sweater where you could clearly see her figure, and a flared skirt that only reached the knee, and high socks.

She came closer to me with that appearance.

“It was my advice! Do you like it?”

Of course, it was Saeki that answered me with a smile with which you could only feel malice from.

It is necessary to carefully discuss whether you like or hate it.

Originally, Mikuma Yuuno had a hidden cuteness that was secretly sought after within the boys.

If she wasn’t hidden anymore, that would be terrible.

Saeki also visited my house as Mikuma’s chaperon.

This fellow who was good with kids was a great playmate for Jaja and Nana.

Well, it seems like Jaja and Nana think of Saeki as a plaything.

Furthermore, I’m still not sure if she was serious or not, saying that Shouhei is a candidate for a boyfriend without holding back, something annoys me.

I think only Mikuma knows Saeki’s true feelings.

After all, they’ve known each other since preschool.

Various things happened, it was now the end of March.

It’s almost time for the new school semester to start.

In the dining room of the Kazamachi household, you could feel the pleasant sensation of the arrival of spring.

“I think it’s going to be more or less alright, though?”

A woman with shoulder length blonde wavy hair sipped the teacup that was used for visitors.

Officer Doggy with droopy dog ears asked me a question.

“Your mother?”

“My mother is retiring soon so she’ll have a lot of spare time. Ah, she’s tight lipped so you don’t have to worry about Dragoline-san’s info leaking out. She’s someone that’s a lump of justice.”

We are talking about Aoi and them.

Starting from next week, Shouhei and I start elementary school and high school respectively, and my father has work.

It’s just in case when Aoi and the kids are alone during the day.

Aoi is strong.

Since she transcends other living things, she has the confidence that she won’t lose to any assailants.

But she can’t look after both Jaja and Nana 24/7.

There are times where she’ll have to go to the bathroom, and there is also a risk that she’ll fall asleep because of lack of sleep.

In addition, this is her first year as a mother.

Even though she’s more or less getting used to it, there are still a lot of things she may not know.

I’m worried leaving Aoi by herself.

When I was thinking about what to do, Officer Doggy raised a helpful suggestion when she visited my house during a regular patrol.

“Mother likes children, she also used to be a childcare teacher. Rather than hiring a regular sitter, I think it’s better to leave it to a trusted person who has more experience.”

“Yes, I think so too. I would like to ask for your help from here on.”

Officer Doggy’s mother, who worked at a local preschool, will come to our house during the daytime.

She’s retiring in April, so in a couple of days and she seemed troubled that she’ll have so much free time.

Rather than asking someone else to hide our circumstances, it would be much better to confess everything to the trusted Officer Doggy’s mother and to work together.

She also lives in our neighborhood.

“Un. Well, I’m going back. Officer Inoue will come tomorrow.”

Officer Maggie or Officer Inoue visits our house everyday to make sure that there are no abnormalities.

I’m really indebted to them.

“Thank you.”

“Don’t worry about it, this is also a public service. A secret to the country?”

Officer Doggy revealed a playful smile like she was playing a prank.

This person has a good style and is a beautiful woman, and is sometimes childish.

I guess this is popular.

I saw officer Doggy to the front door, and for some reason went out to the garden.

With the sunlight that induces sleepiness illuminating the surroundings, I stretched.

The weather is clear today.

It is a good day.

Crying came from the second floor window.

It appears that, Nana, who was taking a nap with Aoi, got hungry and woke up.

Well then, shall papa also go?
