Chapter 23 - Shopping Rhapsody (1/2)

“Introduce myself as a demon?”

While eating soba made by Shouhei, Aoi tilted her head as to say, what the hell is this guy saying.

“Ah, yeah…”

What were my tears for…

“Nii-chan, try thinking about it calmly, onee-san has been living in this town long before we moved here, right? It would be a big problem if a dragon can’t conceal themselves, right?”

Shouhei looked at me with amazed eyes.

“… that’s right.”

I was playing with Jaja and Nana on the sofa.

I opened and closed my hands in front of their faces, and occasionally tickled their necks.

With my simple actions, Jaja was cackling with laughter.

Speaking of Nana, she was chasing my hands with an amazed gaze as usual, and would smile limply when I occasionally caressed her cheeks.

“Seeing you guys happy is the best…”

Aaah, I’m cured.

“It seems like Kunpei-san hasn’t noticed, although it can’t be done for the horns and tail, the wings can be put away.”

“Eh?”

I looked at Aoi who was sitting on a dining room chair.

The big wings that were on her back yesterday, they weren’t there.

“N-nii-chan, did you really not notice? Weren’t you guys sleeping in the same room?”

Ah, stop it. Shouhei please stop looking at me like you’re looking at someone pathetic.

At least let me make an excuse.

“Because various things happened, and I was tired?”

I wonder if that’s so?

That is so.

Even though we were sleeping on the same bed, I couldn’t turn over and we were back to back since breastfeeding yesterday!

“You really aren’t observant … it’s at a level to worry about, Onii-chan”

Mom, I’m sorry for making my brother worry.

“… more importantly! What time are we leaving! We have to go shopping!”

That’s right! It’s for that reason that the old man gave this magic card to fight against the economy with, its name is none other than a credit card!

Depending on how its used, it can also become a trap card!

“Shopping, is it?”

“Yeah, the old man told us to get whatever we need for the babies. Don’t worry about the money. The financial minister of our house, Shouhei, properly took it into consideration.”

“I will never allow too much use.”

I wonder how many elementary school students can budget their household account books.

“T-to an extent, there should still be some money that my mom left over, I will also pay.”

You have money? Ah, now that you mention it, you did say that you had done the minimum amount of shopping necessary before.

“How much do you have?”

Probing someone’s finances is a violation of manners, but my relationship with Aoi is no longer one I have to be reserved with.

It’s better if I have a grasp.

“A-about 50,000 yen.”

Rejected.
