Chapter 61
Taylors’ residence“Claire-sama, are you prepared?”
“… Are you not exaggerating?”
Claire-sama and I are in front of the door to my home .
Taylor is written on the door .
As the name implies, my family deals with clothes .
I wanted to confirm one last time with Claire-sama, to which she made a dumbfounded face .
“Then, it’s fine?”
“Hurry up”
Because Claire-sama urged, I opened the door .
“I’m home”
“Excuse me for disturbing”
My greeting received an immediate response .
“Yes… . Ara?”
From the back of the store came out a youthful woman who can only be thought of to be in her teens .
“Ara ara ara ara, Rei-chan! Welcome home”
The woman ran up to me and hugged me pa.s.sionately .
My face was pressed into her abundant b.r.e.a.s.t.s that you wouldn’t think belong to my blood relative .
“It, it hurts”
“Ara, I’m sorry”
“… Are you Rei’s elder sister?”
Looking at our hug, Claire-sama seemed to get such an impression .
“My my my my, elder sister . You are a skillful young lady”
The woman bashfully put her hand on her cheek and wiggled .
“… She’s my mother”
“I’m Rei’s mother, cute young lady”
“… I could only think of you as an older sister”
Yes, this woman is certainly my mother I meet for the first time since my memory of the previous life returned – May Taylor .
Her appearance is very youthful, so I totally don’t look like her daughter .
We constantly get mistaken for sisters .
“Ara ara ara ara, you are truly skillful . By the way, who’s this young lady?”
Mother who was in high spirits being praised suddenly realized .
“Claire François-sama . Dor François-sama’s only daughter . And who I work for at present”
“I am Claire . Please treat me well”
On the way, Claire-sama wanted to conceal her social status for some reason, but after all there’s no need for that in front of my parents .
I introduced Claire-sama, and Claire-sama introduced herself relatively politely considering the other party is a commoner .
Seeing this, mother was flabbergasted for an instant, then,
“I am much obliged to you for my daughter . Please take care of her from now on”
said so with a gentle smile on her face .
“… Hey, Rei . In what way is this person like that . Isn’t she a lovely mother”
Claire-sama reproached me in a whisper .
Perhaps because I utterly frightened her, she was considerably vigilant .
“No, certainly mother seems harmless at first glance, but…”
“But?”
“Claire-sama, what happened to your coat?”
“Eh?”
Only then Claire-sama noticed her coat was gone .
“Ah, I’m sorry . I just again…”
And, that coat was in mother’s hands .
“Wait!? What is going on!?”
“Mother has a bad habit of unconsciously taking off clothes of those she takes a liking to”
“In reality that was it!?”
Claire-sama s.n.a.t.c.hed her coat from mother, and sensing danger to herself, took a step back .
“I’m, I’m sorry! Because you have such an ideal body line, I just thought I want to measure you…”
“How could you just take off somebody’s clothes!?”
“Mother isn’t aware of it herself . She takes them off before she notices”
“Mother isn’t aware of it herself . She takes them off before she notices”
“You cannot do that unconsciously!?”
Although what Claire-sama says is correct for pretty much everyone, because this is nothing but a fact it can’t be helped .
“… What’s this uproar?”
Who appeared next was a giant man with the height of 180-odd centimeters .
“Ara, dear . Rei-chan came back . She brought along a very lovely lady”
With mother’s explanation, father looked over here with a sharp glint in his eyes .
“I’m home, father”
“I, I will be intruding”
I’m used to him, but Claire-sama appears somewhat frightened .
Even if I’m his daughter, my father’s face is scary .
However―― .
“… Pleased to meet you, Claire-sama . I’m running this town’s clothing store; my name is Van Taylor . I am much obliged to you for my daughter”
Saying so, father bowed .
“Do you know of me?”
“… There’s no way I wouldn’t know of a famous young lady second only to this country’s royalty”
“Is that so? Please be at ease”
“… I’m grateful”
Seeing my father’s att.i.tude, Claire-sama’s wariness seems to have lessened .
“Father, could Claire-sama stay with us for a few days?”
“My my my my . She’s warmly welcome . Right, dear?”
“… Won’t it be impolite to have her stay with a poor family like ours?”
Mother seemed enthusiastic, but father showed disapproval .
“There is nothing impolite about it . Because this is the place where I will be staying, I will not say anything selfish”
“Ara ara ara ara . What a humble n.o.ble . It’s fine, you can be a little selfish”
What Claire-sama said was so admirable I was surprised .
Mother’s liking for Claire-sama seems to have increased again .
“… However, there’s no extra room?”
“I have no problem staying in the room with Rei”
“… About sleeping…”
“I have no problem staying in the room with Rei”
“… About sleeping…”
“Isn’t it okay if a folding bed is brought in . It’s fine if Claire-sama uses Rei’s bed and Rei the folding bed, right?”
Mother refused to back down against father who’s still showing disapproval .
“Why don’t we sleep together in the same bed then?”
“Ara ara ara ara? Are you two in such a relationship?”
“Yup”
“We are not!? … No, in this situation using the same bed will not pose a problem”
Really, what’s with Claire-sama .
She’s being as meek as a lamb .
“… I’ll carry in the folding bed”
“Please do . Then, let’s close the store for today . Ufufu, look forward to the dinner, okay?”
And like that, to prepare for Claire-sama’s reception, my parents withdrew to the back .
So I thought when,
“Dear . Rei-chan finally came home with her lover, could you not take that att.i.tude?”
“You… Why are you losing control of yourself when the other party is a young lady of François house…”
I heard something from the back, however I pretended not to notice .
Claire-sama who also heard it made a complicated face .
“Shall we go to my room . This way”
“Yeah”
To drown out the difficult atmosphere, I decided to guide Claire-sama to my room .
Carrying luggage with Claire-sama’s clothes in both hands, I went upstairs .
My room is even smaller than a dormitory room .
In a room the size of six tatami mats there’s a desk, bed, and chest of drawers, it’s a simple room .
Even so, just by having my own room, I’m blessed as a commoner .
If I had siblings it wouldn’t be like this .
Putting the bags on the floor I relaxed .
“So this is Rei’s room”
“There’s nothing here, is there?”
“… You are right . But, strangely, it’s a calming room”
Saying so, Claire-sama sat down on the bed and looked around my room .
I brought the chair from the desk and also sat down .
Saying so, Claire-sama sat down on the bed and looked around my room .
I brought the chair from the desk and also sat down .
“You have interesting parents”
“It’s said often”
“Especially your mother, I thought she certainly is your mother”
“It’s said often”
I replied to Claire-sama to show I’m listening .
My father, while not friendly, is a person with common sense, while mother is a person whose common sense is a little like that .
Even so, strangely mother isn’t a dislikable person .
“More importantly, are you really okay staying with us? There’s an inn nearby?”
“It is no problem . As far as I am concerned, there is no big difference between a commoner’s house and a cheap inn”
“Is that so”
Then that’s fine .
“Ah… but…”
“?”
“Now that I think of it, I must be a burden to your family”
“Well, it would be a lie to say there’s no burden”
Commoners’ lives are difficult .
Welcoming guests is not something that can be done easily, especially now that the guest is a n.o.ble lady like Claire-sama .
The burden of giving her a warm welcome is quite large .
“But well, my mother will do her best”
“Is, is that so?”
“Besides her bad habit, mother is a relatively capable person”
Same as me, mother is extremely fond of cute girls .
If she can warmly welcome a sweet young lady like Claire-sama, mother will figure something out no matter the cost .
“Well, don’t think too hard about it, Claire-sama, please relax . I’ll unpack your luggage”
Originally, I took Claire-sama out of her residence thinking she needs a change of pace .
There’s no point if she feels overly mindful .
“I will do that”
Saying so, Claire-sama gave in to the fatigue, lied down on the bed and started peacefully breathing in her sleep .
“… Does she trust me a little… I wonder?”
As Claire-sama exposing her defenseless sleeping face on my bed tickled my self-esteem a tiny bit, I began cheerfully unpacking her luggage .
Taylors’ residence “Claire-sama, are you prepared?”. “… Are you not exaggerating?”.
