"Biyaaah!"
“Nana? What"s wrong?”
Nana was crying in Aoi"s arms.
“If it"s the diaper, I just changed it earlier.”
Shouhei, who was washing dishes in the kitchen, came back to the dining room wearing his favorite yellow ap.r.o.n while wiping his hands.
After dinner, we mostly stayed in the dining room.
I was watching TV while playing with Jaja on the sofa.
My father who has to get up early in the morning tomorrow for work is taking a bath.
We haven"t really decided, but after father, we usually take baths in the order of Shouhei, Aoi and me.
The twins alternately take baths with me or Aoi, and the last thing I do as the daily routine is to clean the bath.
“Is she hungry?”
I asked Aoi.
Aoi was sitting on the carpet under the sofa and playing with Nana.
“I don"t know. I"ve already fed her. I also gave the stuffed cat doll.”
“Nyaaaaaah!”
Nana was protesting something while swinging her little arms around.
“Dah”
“Jaja, who was sucking her thumb on my knee, tilted her head in a strange way.”
“Hmm?”
I took out Jaja"s favorite stuffed dog from the twin"s toy box on the side of the sofa.
I reached out and shook it in front of Nana"s face.
“… Uuh”
Her movements stopped.
As expected.
“Uuuh!”
Nana grabbed the stuffed animal with both hands contently.
I somehow understand the reason for Nana"s temper.
The twins grew considerably this month.
According to the rat sage, “The human factor accelerates their growth” apparently it seems that the growth to a toddler has been accelerated to some extent.
Originally, dragon children grow quickly, but Jaja and Nana"s growth were even faster.
The normal dragon infant period is almost the same as that of human beings, and it seems that the growth slows down from about ten years old.
Rush until your body becomes strong.
When you become strong, you grow up carefully, that is how a dragon child is brought up.
Recently, they began turning over in bed, and now they can move with their stomach on the bed.
I think they can also almost crawl if they try their best.
The twins that flap their small wings on their backs and kicks the ground with their short tails to try and move are unusually cute.
Really cute.
There is no one who can win against such an adorable figure.
My father promptly uses his smartphone to shoot videos, fixated on angles, each time.
That smartphone should currently be filled with Jaja, Nana and Shouhei.
Out of the two, Jaja is growing faster.
Which reminds me, Jaja was also the first one to start flying.
Is that the pride of a big sister?
Now the problem is the slower growing Nana.
Nana, who is not catching up to Jaja for anything, is jealous of Jaja.
Of course, Nana who can"t speak didn"t say that. This is just my selfish delusion, but I don"t think it is wrong.
In the morning, if Jaja woke up first, Nana would cry as if saying, “It"s unfair you woke up before Nana!”.
If Jaja finished breastfeeding first, she would cry as if appealing, “It"s unfair you finished faster than Nana!”
Even when taking a nap, she would cry with drowsy eyes if Jaja get sleepier faster.
Anyways, Nana wants to do the same things as Jaja.
She doesn"t hate her older sister, she likes her, so she wants to do the same things at the same time.
A while ago, she was crying because she wanted the stuffed dog that Jaja was playing a little earlier rather than her favorite stuffed cat.
Nana "s feelings are utterly spoken so far, but the real thing cannot be understood.
Anyways, the twins are infants no matter how you look at it.
“Dah”
“Oh, lend the dog to Nana?”
“Nyah”
Somehow it felt like Jaja nodded to my words.
“That"s great isn"t it, Nana? Your sister will let you borrow it.”
“Ah!”
Aoi stroked Nana"s head.
Unusually Nana laughed out loud.
Nana Dragoline Kazamachi is a pretty calm child.
If my father or I was in a good mood, she would frequently pa.s.s by with an incredulous look.
Because she"s a mama"s girl, she often smiles at Aoi, though just to the point of gently opening her mouths and narrowing her eyes. Nana doesn"t have a grandiose smile.
Nana smiling limply is also very cute, but sometimes I want to see Nana expressing joy with her entire body.
“Nii-chan, are you ready for tomorrow?”
“Yeah, I just finished packing my bag.”
Shouhei took off his ap.r.o.n and sat next to me.
“I"m looking forward to it! The weather forecast said it was going to be sunny!”
Aoi looked up at me with a delighted face.
“I already finished the prep work for lunch, we have to leave as soon as Yunno and them come tomorrow.”
“Is Saeki and Koji coming as well?”
Koji is Saeki Ichika"s devilish younger brother.
Shouhei"s cla.s.smate, his good friends since childhood, and frequently came to play at our old house.
“Kou-chan, are you doing well at school?”
“Oh … how about?”
Koji is a loner in a different way from me.
In other words, I can"t imagine someone other than Shouhei getting involved with Koji.
That guy can only be controlled by Shouhei…
We"re going on a picnic tomorrow.
Sat.u.r.day, since the babysitter Yuri is off.
It"s just a way of trying to let the twins, who only play in the house, breathe the outside air.
This is actually also for Aoi.
Aoi, who looks after the twins from morning to night, rarely goes out.
The only times Aoi has gone out for the past month were for errands, like to the butcher shop.
I proposed it to Shouhei, and he issued a GO sign, which was then realized with the support of my father.
Actually, my father was also supposed to go, but because of the spread of influenza in his workplace, he was forced to work on a holiday.
Amen.
I know that my father was really looking forward to it.
I will thoroughly interact with mother nature with the kids in your stead.
“You"re looking forward to it, eh Jaja?”
“Ah”
It felt like she nodded again.
When I looked at Nana, the dog"s stuffed animal was rubbed with ham.
Mr. Dog, you"re leaving for the washing machine today too…
Tomorrow, you"ll have a change of pace in the majestic outdoors.
It"s okay, I"ll dry you out properly.
I was also looking forward to tomorrow for some reason.
