Chapter 76 - I’m Going to Bite It, Okay? (4) (1/2)

At noon, I ate the spinach with rice and miso soup that Shouhei made for me.

The spinach pickled in ponzu sauce had a perfect sourness, and the secret ingredient, sesame, accentuates the flavor and the rice went down easily.

“Yes, Nana-chan, all done.”

“Au”

Next to the window of the dining area, where there is ample sunlight, is the playground for the twins.

There is an expensive elastic mat laid out for Jaja who starts flying as soon as we take our eyes off her, separated by a wooden fence made by father.

Yuri-san was changing Nana’s diaper in the middle of that.

Despite it already been a few decades later, her skill obtained from raising four daughters was splendid. She changed their diapers in a blink of an eye while keeping the twins under control.

Although we’re used to it, Aoi and I still sometimes struggle.

Especially Nana who is in a bad mood sometimes and we need two people to wipe her bum.

“Amu, amu amu”

“Jaja-chan, what are you eating?”

While lying down, Jaja was play-biting the rubber ball with the bell that father bought.

“Amu”

“Alright, no.”

“Ah”

“Meh!”

Jaja who had the rubber ball confiscated reached out with both hands and tried to replace it.

“You can use the dog. But you’ll break the ball so no, okay?”

“Ah!”

Jaja puts her favorite little stuffed puppy toy into her mouth without any hesitation.

The dog that has become pretty ragged recently was a gift from Mikuma along with a stuffed cat toy.

The cat is Nana’s favorite, the dog is Jaja’s favorite.

“Thanks for the meal.”

I finished everything and carried all the dishes to the kitchen sink.

While Yuri-san was dealing with the twins, I managed to finish lunch.

Because you can’t eat peacefully while the twins are awake, I really appreciate it.

I washed my dishes, then washed the two baby bottles.

We use naturally-derived detergents as much as possible, and after washing, they are also thoroughly sterilized by boiling.

We researched online and infants are supposed to regularly go in for checkups so we can also discuss with doctors about childcare.

But the twins are dragons.

The hospital doesn’t want to accept or deal with dragons.

And if it got revealed there were dragons, it will bring all sorts of troubles.

So we have to take the utmost care to prevent sickness and injuries.

Because of that, we do everything we can, such as sterilization by boiling.

There is a fluffy gray rat who insists that he’s a doctor specializing in dragons, but he only shows up when he feels like it.

Even now I don’t know where he’s staying, so I can’t call him from here.

Even so, he rummages through our fridge for cheese and fruits as he pleases, what an irritating rat.

“Good afternoon.”

“Hello.”

“Ah, isn’t that Toshio-kun?”

A voice came through the window we opened to improve ventilation.

I turned and saw officers Doggy and Inoue wearing uniforms, standing in the garden.

“Mama, you came?”

“Yes, Aoi-chan is away today, so it would be difficult for Kunpei-kun alone, right? It’s been a long time Toshio-kun.”

“Y-yes it’s been a while.”

I wiped my hands with a towel and went out to the dining room, where Officer Inoue, who had a large physique, was bowing deeply.

“Hello, Officer Doggy, and Officer Inoue.”
