“Shall we go over there next?”
“Aren’t the clothes over there pretty expensive?”
“Well, if it’s too expensive.”
I walked alongside Yunno-san to not fall behind with Ichika-san who was taking the lead.
We were at the shopping mall that we came to before.
Last time, we were shopping for Jaja and Nana, so I didn’t get a good look, but there really is an astonishing number of shops and people.
I didn’t leave town much, so I never went to large buildings like this mall before.
The world that I only knew through television, commercials, and magazines is spread out right before my eyes.
I’m happy.
Every day since I met Kunpei-san has been hectic and boisterous.
But it’s very fun every day, and the noise is also comforting to listen to.
I’ve received so many things from Kunpei-san.
I even have friends, Yunno-san and Ichika-san, who I can talk casually with.
How in the world can I repay Kunpei-san?
After what happened with my mother, I think that the distance between me and Kunpei-san has shrunk.
When Kunpei-san suddenly appeared in the nest, he risked his life for me and our daughters, and even helped mother.
Even now, almost two months later, my heart throbs just by remembering him from that time.
I know that since I’m a dragon and have to hide, but if I could, I want to raise my voice and brag about that person.
Tall, with a wide and reliable back.
Inside his sharp eyes carry his kindness.
His large hands that carry a sense of responsibility and justice.
I love everything.
I’m longing for Kunpei-san so much that I even thought of mixing with him.
Look! That’s my husband!
I’m the wife and Kunpei-san is my husband!
The papa of cute twins, and the mama is me!
I want to declare it in a loud voice without worrying about the public gaze.
I want to live while clearly showing that Kunpei is my thing and I am Kunpei’s thing.
I’m thinking of something bad.
I can’t say that.
I have to endure it.
My heart was completely snatched away by that person, but I’m not without complaints.
For one, he doesn’t pay enough attention to me.
Naturally, if I say such things, I’ll likely incur divine punishment, so I will never say it, but you could touch me a little more.
We are parents, so it’s decided that Jaja and Nana have priority. However, I want my name to be called with that gentle and calm look you give the twins.
I want the two of us to talk while we’re huddled together.
I don’t understand much, but the human, beastmen, and demon males love to have physical interaction with the opposite sex.
Even if it’s embarrassing, if Kunpei-san wanted to, he can stroke the base of my tail or the tip of my horns.
Kunpei-san, who resembles father-in-law, has a very dignified appearance.
He himself said that he wasn’t popular, but it was strange.
You would rarely find such a cool person even when you look, and he also has a good personality and is healthy on top of that.
Do girls of his age have holes for eyes?
It’s impossible to not notice a person with a sense of justice that is honest, gentle, and intelligent.
In that regard, Yunno Mikuma, who was walking next to me, is right.
My second dissatisfaction with Kunpei-kun is related to this, but I do acknowledge her eye for men, since she shares the same feelings for Kunpei-kun as me.
Yunno is a best friend even if we like the same person.
“Hmm? What’s wrong?”
Oops, I unconsciously glared at Yunno-san.
Dangerous, dangerous.
“No, it’s nothing.”
I pretended to be calm and surveyed the inside of the mall. I wonder if it was too forced?
“With a limited budget, the only way to find something good is to use your feet.”
Ichika-san of the cat tribe said as she breathed roughly.
She’s lively and active and makes even ordinary things interesting when she’s with us.
“Before that, do you want to have some tea?”
“Ah, I agree, I’m holding on to lunch money for the two of you from Kunpei-san.”
“What a treat! Let’s go to the cafe we saw earlier!”
I feel sorry, all of today’s money comes from Kunpei-san’s wallet.
Most of his savings were spent on the twins and me.
Your head is too high and mine is about to sink into the ground.
Even though I said that, I’m sure I’m in trouble because I don’t have many clothes to wear.
In the start, I didn’t have much clothes in the nest.
I could count the number of clothes I bought on one hand, and I couldn’t fit through the sleeves of the clothes my mother had made because I grew.
Get a lot of items that are not too expensive.
That’s the only thing I can do.
Because clothing is required when living in the human realm.
Yunno-san and Ichika-san have said that.
Kunpei-san asked them for advice, because it was impossible for me, who didn’t know anything, to go shopping alone.
So I’m enjoying shopping today using their opinions as reference.
All the remaining savings that I had from my mother had been passed to Shouhei-san via Kunpei-san, so the lunch cost that served as a thanks to Yunno-san today, I have no choice but to rely on Kunpei-san’s money.
It’s becoming increasingly difficult to know how to repay him.
We arrived at the café under Ichika-san’s guidance and sat down at the seat we were lead to by the waiter.
We put the shopping bags on one of the four chairs, I was sitting on the inside, Yunno-san sat across from me and Ichika-san sat next to me.
While the waiter was bringing water, we opened the menu and looked for what to eat.
Wow, this is what I saw in the lunchtime information TV program.
This is the first time I’ve come to a cafe.
I was trembling while staring at the menu, and the waiter eventually brought three glasses of water.
“I’ll take this lunch set.”
“Ah, me too.”
Mikuma pointed at the photo on the menu and ordered it.
The photo was of toast, sausage, and salad and looked delicious, so I ordered the same thing as well.
“I’ll have a Margherita and spaghetti bolognese! Ice tea as well!”
Ichika-san told the waiter cheerfully.
“Ichika-chan. You shouldn’t use Kunpei-kun’s money, right?”
“I know. I was going to pay myself from the beginning.”
Eh?
Ichika-san immediately answered Yunno-san’s words.
“No, um…”
I became flustered.
I was given enough money for lunch.
I’ve also been told that lunch would be thanks to the two of them for my business.
“We’re coming to shop for my things, and I’m not doing anything to thank you.”
“Why do you have to say thank you every time you go to play with your friends? Tell Kazamachi that you don’t have to keep up appearances when you’re poor.”
“U-um”
I couldn’t say anything.
The waiter wrote up the orders in three separate bills.
What should I do?
“It’s fine Aoi-chan, let’s use the extra on clothes.”
“Ah, that ’s good! Then we can buy the dress from earlier!”
“But, but…”
“I’ll tell Kunpei-kun. Well, it’s him so he’s not going to get angry, but I’m going to use extra energy.”
“That’s right. It’s good to have a strong sense of duty, but the guy is too tightly wound.”
Is it alright?
Really?
“Speaking of which, didn’t you say you had something you want to talk about?”
“Oops, I forgot. You said that on the bus.”
They changed the topic so naturally.
I guess there’s no helping it.
I’ll leave as much money as possible and bring it home.
“Well, it’s about me, Jaja and Nana…”
“The kids?”
Ichika-san next to me, tilted her head.
“Yes. Well, right now we’re being taking care of by the Kazamachi household, so is there any way I can repay them?”
I can’t think of a good idea alone, and I have no time at all because of the twins.
Unless I have this opportunity, I can’t ask anyone and there’s no one to ask.
It’s not like I can ask Kunpei-san, Shouhei-san, or father-in-law.
“Hmm. Do you do the housework?”
I nodded at Yunno-san.
I do the laundry and cleaning of everywhere except the kitchen.
I really enjoy doing it because I feel like I’m a family while working.
When I was alone in the nest, my housework skills were devastating because I thought that it was just me, so who cares, and compromised a lot.
There’s Shouhei-san, who’s a model housework specialist, and Kunpei-san, who is surprisingly family-oriented, so I think I’ve become a bit better than during that time.
“Working part-time and… is that impossible…”
“I don’t have much free time.”
I shook my head at Ichika’s words.
I have to take care of the twins, and I also can’t spread my identity.
Sometimes I’m scared because I’ve never worked, but I want to stay as close as possible to Jaja and Nana.
“I wonder if you can work from home, like knitting and selling stuff online.”
“Hmm. In the first place, amateur things cannot be sold, and if they are sold, they are not high quality, so they can only be sold at the same price as the cost.”
“I have never knitted before.”
Though I’m interested in, knitting.
If I knitted a sweater or something for Kunpei-san, wouldn’t he be pleased?
Ah, but there’s the cost of materials, and tools… Shouhei-san seems like he might have them.
Let me try asking when we return.
“I don’t think the people in that house will receive it so easily.”
“Yeah… that’s also where I’m troubled.”
The men of the Kazamachi household are people who can do anything.
That is why they don’t often have trouble or want help.
I want to do anything that I can do, but they would just refuse and tell me not to worry about it.
Because I am a dragon, there are quite a few things I can do, but only things like physical labor or controlling the weather.
Would they be happy that the sun only hits the Kazamachi family even on rainy days?
But that’ll be too conspicuous so I can’t do that.
Our neighbors will be suspicious.
“…then, there’s no other way than paying the elder Kazamachi with your body.”
Ichika-san revealed a strange expression.
“With my body?”
“Ichika-chan!”
Yunno-san raised her voice.
Even if I want to pay with my body, it seems that physical labor is a man’s job.
There were a few times when I asked, like when we moved furniture, but I was gently refused.
“Hehehe. He’s traditional, but he’s a man too. If you just pressure him and attack, it should be effortless.”
“That’s no good! Those kinds of improper things!”
“Huh? What kind of improper things are you imagining? My oh my, Yunno is a quiet one.”
“I’m going to get mad, Ichika-chan!”
What is it?
They’re probably talking about something different than what I’m thinking of.
Ichika-san took out her smartphone from the pouch on the table.
She easily operating the screen while humming.
“It doesn’t seem like Aoi understood, so it’s my responsibility to teach her.”
“Hey! Ichika-chan we’re outside!?”
While avoiding Yunno-san who leaned over, Ichika-san showed me her smartphone with a rather nasty smile.
“Is there something like this on TV? If you go further, it’ll be more like this?”
A man and a woman were shown on the screen.
A photo of a woman who had her arm around the neck of a tall man, intimately clinging to him.
For some reason, they were both naked.
“Ichika-chan!”
“Don’t worry it’s a light one.”
While saying, she tapped the smartphone screen next to me.
The screen changed, and this time the man and woman are kissing.
Even I know what a kiss means. I see it often in dramas and movies, and even dragons kiss.
It’s a display of love.
I often kiss Jaja and Nana.
“Fufufu, now you’re going to see things you’ve never seen.”
“Jeez!”
Yunno-san, whose face turned bright red, hid her face with both hands and leaned back on the chair.
“Well, Fraulein? From now on, it’s adult time, are you ready?”
Ichika-san’s smile became even more distorted.
I was worried about the twins I left at home when I looked at her face.
Lunch, I wonder if it’s ready yet?
