Chapter 34 - And so Starts the Young Lady’s Great Battle (5) (2/2)

“That’s right, there is no reason other than that Kunpei-san loves Jaja and Nana!”

Mikuma answered her own doubts.

Aoi replied to that confusing self discussion.

It doesn’t seem that she’s aware that her answer was no good.

“I don’t understand what you mean… I understand somehow of why Kazamachi-kun wants to hide it. The existence of dragons will influence various things.”

Well, it was exposed to Mikuma who was neither a scholar or anything like that.

From now on, if we’re not careful enough, Aoi and them will be exposed.

When I thought about it, the commotion earlier was pretty bad.

There were a lot of people in the surroundings who were holding their smartphones, so there’s a high possibility that Jaja’s and my name and face would be well known.

“Even so! It has nothing to do with you! This is a problem between a couple and parent and child!”

“Hey, you’re going overboard.”

“Ah.”

I gently tapped Aoi’s head, who was getting too hotheaded.

I suppose I understand her worry.

I guess Aoi and Mikuma has bad compatibility.

“Couple…? Parent and child…?”

“Ah, damn.”

Seeing Mikuma lose all light in her eyes, Saeki muttered a few words in complaint.

“U-um, Mikuma-san?”

“… Why could she so easily say things like they’re a couple? When I was in middle school I was self aware, so even though when I slept I endured from imagining me enjoying myself… how could she so easily… furthermore, parent and child… if that’s true, I… a boy and girl’s twins… saying ‘I’m going’ and ‘welcome home’… helping him wear a necktie… things like a welcome home kiss… favorite food as dinner… arm pillow before sleeping… going to the park on days off… stuff like movies… going for drives… why, why?”

“Yuuno? Is it no good? You’re making it worse? Is it too late. Is that so?”

Mikuma continued muttering something that couldn’t be heard.

Scary.

For some reason it’s unbelievably frightening.

Saeki’s face twitched and she gradually pulled back.

“T-that’s what I’ll do! D-definitely!”

“Ah, Kazamachi, I’ll take care of your bones.”

Did she hear Aoi? She raised her voice in exasperation.

Nana who finished crying, stared up at Aoi with a blank expression like usual.

For some reason, Saeki said something ominous.

“How unfair! You suddenly show up and took everything! Even though I’ve been trying my best for four years! You’re using children to restrain Kazamachi-kun, how dirty!”

Mikuma abruptly stood up and tearfully rattled on.

“Oi, Mikuma!?”

“W-what’s dirty! Even though they’re this cute! Kunpei-san promised! He’ll do his best as papa! Also, Jaja and Nana properly understand that Kunpei-san is papa! Jaja likes papa very much, she gets very happy just with the sound of his footsteps! Are you willing to snatch Kunpei-san away from the children?”

Aoi also stood up half way, firmly held the table and refuted Mikuma.

“Aoi!?”

“That’s dirty! You haven’t said anything about what you think of Kazamachi-kun!”

Mikuma raised her voicce in a bent forward posture.

“C-calm down! Hey!”

I also raised my voice to rein in Mikuma.

“I-I! That’s right, I like him very much! It was love at first sight! What about it? It was just one time half a year ago but I’ve liked him ever since then! You too, you’ve never expressed how you feel about Kunpei-san!”

“I have a feeling that something serious is being discussed!? Why don’t we take a seat for the time being! How about it? Mikuma and Aoi, let’s sit down and drink some tea!?”

This fellow is blurting out some outrageous things right now!?

“Even I! Even I!”

What is it! I have a feeling that it’s better to not make Mikuma say anything right now!

“… aa, aah!”

“Ah, Jaja also woke up.”

“How loud, eh…”

Shouhei held up Jaja like he had nothing to do with it.

Saeki calmly took refuge and was on the side poking Jaja’s cheeks.

Stop, help me!

“I’ve liked Kazamachi-kun for a long time!!”

Mikuma dropped the second bomb.
