“Alright, we"re going, okay? Please take care of Jaja and Nana.”
“Oh, leave it to me.”
“If anything happens, please call us. We"ll be sure to stay with Aoi-chan.”
“Koji, behave yourself. I"ll tell dad if you cause any troubles.”
“Nyaa!”
“I"ll watch Kou-chan.”
We saw off the three girls at the front entrance.
“Is it really okay? I should…”
“Look, it"s your shopping, so you have to go. The kids will be fine.”
Well, it"s all good. I know you"re worried, but you need to take a breather.
“I see… I"ll bring back something, okay?”
“Don"t worry about it, take care.”
“See you later.”
“I"m off.”
“See you!”
Aoi with a worried face, Mik.u.ma and Saeki left the entrance and pa.s.sed through the gate.
I also followed them outside and saw them off.
She looked back many times and eventually disappeared.
“She"s a real worrywart.”
“It can"t be helped. It"s the first time she"s left Jaja and Nana behind.”
Shouhei responded to my words.
It was almost the end of May, and I decided to make Aoi take a day off.
After taking care of the twins and the housework day after day, I judged that Aoi needed a break.
On paper, it"s to replenish daily necessities and to buy clothes for her.
In the first place, she doesn"t have a lot of clothes.
Even including pajamas, she doesn"t have enough for a week. I was giving her my larger shirts and trainers to pa.s.s by, but it"s probably too much for a girl.
Anyways, I don"t have any fashion sense.
So I made a plan for Aoi to buy the clothes she likes.
Our family doesn"t have much extra money, so I"ve been working hard since last month to save so that she can buy clothes she likes.
If you add my money and Aoi"s pocket money, then she"ll be able to buy around 2 or 3 sets of clothes.
But, even if I give her a break, I can"t go along with Aoi.
I have to take care of the kids.
I don"t have enough skills to go shopping with girls in the first place.
And I have no guts.
That is h.e.l.l on earth.
I would like to send respect to those handsome guys who can go shopping with girls every time.
It"s impossible for me.
So I lowered my head to Mik.u.ma and Saeki and got help from other girls.
I also bought lunch for those two with my pocket money.
Thanks to that I won"t be able to do anything until the end of next month.
Well, I don"t really want anything so it"s all good.
But relying on this small amount of pocket money is really pitiable.
Actually, considering my father"s earning and this house"s loan, our tuition and living expenses, our family is barely sc.r.a.ping by.
Although we"ve survived thanks to Shouhei"s management, I also have to think of getting a part-time job.
I have to work for Jaja and Nana!
Now, the twins are welcoming a mamless day for the first time. Other than the breastfeeding at night, we have recently been giving them baby formula and some baby food.
I"m trying to use the growth process of human infants as reference.
I was really thinking of asking Alba Germain"s opinion, but I haven"t seen him recently.
The day after returning from the ranch, we received a letter written with skilful penmanship.
“The dragon"s daughter that"s heading here seems to have gotten lost. I"ll have to go guide her, so I"ll be away for about a month. The twins are doing well. It may be good to give them some baby formula soon. But I don"t know the effects the human part has on them, so be careful.”
“Nii-chan, we"re also heading out, are you really going to be alright by yourself?”
“Nii”
Returning to the entrance after sending them off, Shouhei and Koji were carrying the bags that had been placed at the entrance.
“You"re going to the library to finish your homework, right? It"s fine, Yuri-san is also coming by later.”
“Okay, thanks. I put your lunch in the fridge okay?”
“Oh, thank you.”
“Your welcome.”
The said that and left from the entrance again.
“I"m off!”
“Nyaa!”
“Take care.”
I waved at the lively elementary school students who rushed outside and then closed the door.
Well then, Jaja and Nana fell asleep after breakfast.
It seems that the washing machine ended and the alarm had been ringing, and the weather was excellent.
I walked down the hallway while humming.
