“What are you planning, keeping a guest waiting like this.”
“Come again?”
There was an extremely beautiful woman standing at the front door of my house.
An unworldly beauty was crossing her arms arrogantly.
The transparent blue hair that was illuminated by the sunlight was neatly aligned at her forehead, silky smooth long hair that went down to her waist.
She was wearing a bold dress that had a large slit that revealed her chest and her charming bare legs were freely exposed.
She was about the same height as me, and her waist was thin enough to worry about it snapping.
Above all, the most eye-catching things were the large white horns on both sides of her head and the thick tail coming from her back.
It was like you were looking at a painting.
The person standing there was so beautiful that she made you lose sense of reality.
“Oi, are you listening?”
“U-um, can I help you?”
The beautiful woman snapped me out of it.
That was dangerous.
I lost myself for a second there.
Wait a second. Horns and a tail?
“I"m coming in.”
“Eh?”
I was taken aback by those unexpected words and she rudely pa.s.sed through the doorway between the gaps and entered the house with her shoes on.
“Eh, um, hey, I said hey!”
Since she was moving so naturally, I silently saw her off reflexively.
Eh, are the quality of recent robbers all so high?
Is such a beautiful woman intruding and committing a robbery?
Not!
The sudden incident made me freeze up! Who is she!
“W-what are you doing! I"m going to call the police!”
I was fl.u.s.tered, ran over and grabbed the robber"s right arm.
“How annoying. Sleep trash.”
She cursed with a violent tone that was unimaginable coming from a woman of her appearance, and she swung her free left arm.
“Gah!”
In an instant, I was struck by something.
My body was blown away and the scenery flew by at great speed.
Before I noticed, I was lying on the street in front of my house.
“Ku, keh! Gah!”
I shook my head and my vision was spinning in circles.
Pain was running through my entire body, and expelled the air that has climbed up from the lungs
“W-what.”
I don"t understand.
There"s three meters between the front door and here.
How can she send me flying so far with such a slender arm!?
“I-I have to stop her.”
My thoughts were in chaos but I couldn"t just leave it as is.
I somehow got up and returned to my house while clearing my dizziness.
What came to my mind were the kidnappers that stole Jaja and Nana"s egg.
Don"t tell me that it was revealed that they were here!?
I quickly pa.s.sed through the gate and struggled back to the front door, took off my slippers and went inside.
“… how obstinate.”
The woman was in the dining room.
She was searching for something in the room without touching anything.
Did she perceive my presence? She turned around and furrowed her brows.
“W-w-what"s with you!”
I was confused by her calm behavior.
“Ah? Why do I have to tell you something like that? Shut up if you don"t want to die.”
The woman looked over the room without any interest in me.
“… above, is it?”
My heartbeat rose at those words.
“… what are you looking for.”
“Didn"t I tell you to shut up.”
“You! Who are you!”
Without waiting for me to finish, the woman raised her right arm.
I promptly crossed my arms and guarded my face.
“Oof!”
A gust of wind collided with my body at the same time.
My body was lifted up without much effort and I made a loud noise after crashing into the corridor wall.
“Dah!”
The remaining bit of air in my lungs exploded out of my mouth.
Just like that I collapsed to the floor as my legs gave out one by one.
“Wa… Gaha…! Wh… what…."
I forcibly took hold of my hazy consciousness and somehow managed to avoid fainting.
I shook my head once again, and blinked repeatedly.
“You"re fine, huh. Thank your parents, brat.”
What I heard was the robber"s voice, as if nothing had happened.
The woman was going to pa.s.s by me who was collapsed.
“W-wait…!”
I gathered all the strength in my body, moved my arms and sat up.
I restrained my trembling legs and stood up.
I approached the woman who pa.s.sed by me and grabbed her shoulder.
“… you really are obstinate, aren"t ya.”
The woman turned around and sighed like it was bothersome.
“This hand, if you don"t release it, I"m going to burn you to death, you know?”
“Kunpei-san! What happened!?”
As the woman glared at me, Aoi"s voice came from the second floor.
“Aoi! Don"t come! Take Jaja and Nana and run away!”
I shouted.
This woman"s aim was Aoi and the kids.
If it"s Aoi who can fly, she can escape with the kids!
“Aoi…”
Eh?
“Ah, she seems healthy…”
The woman looked up at the second floor and smiled delightfully.
Huh?
It kind of feels off?
“Kunpei-san! Are you okay!”
Aoi appeared at the top of the stairs.
She was wearing pajamas with a fl.u.s.tered expression.
“Ai! My cute gem!”
“Kunpei-s… Ai?”
Aoi stiffened like she couldn"t move.
Ai was indeed Aoi"s name when she was younger…
“My bad! I"m late!”
“Eh… huh?”
The woman approached the stiff Aoi with both hands spread wide open.
“I"m back! Mother has returned!”
“Moth…er!?”
Eh?
Mother?
