Chapter 109 - Sorry for the Worry (4) (1/2)

“Is it here?”

“Yes, Yuri-san is watching them. But there are other mothers inside, so please wait outside for a moment.”

With that, Aoi opened the door and walked into the napping room.

There were curtains set up just outside the door so that you can’t easily see what’s going on inside.

I’m told that the napping room was set up for moms with babies.

If I stepped in the room, even if I was nursing, it would feel awkward, and I couldn’t complain if I was lynched at worst. I’m scared. I’m terrified.

“Hey, hey, Kazamachi. Why do I have to go in there?”

Gasara blamed me in a voice laced with trepidation.

With Rouge positioned behind him, he couldn’t easily escape.

I’m not worried about it after all this time, but to Aoi, Gasara is still the enemy of the twins, so it’s also meant to reassure Aoi.

I tried to explain to her in as simple of a way as I could saying that it was part of my plan to get the twins and Gasara to meet each other, but she didn’t seem to like it.

Well that’s expected and no matter how many times I say it, I understand.

But it’s also true that if we don’t clarify the position of Gasara and his siblings here, we’ll be left with a lot of uncertainty about them in the future.

Regardless of how much they say with their mouths that these three people, including Gasara, will never reveal the identity of Aoi and the others, I’m still worried.

I’d like to get them on my side in one fell swoop, so that I wouldn’t be as anxious.

That’s why I brought Gasara here.

“Just shut up and follow me. I won’t do anything bad.”

The line was said to reassure him, but it came across as more of a villainous phrase. I wonder how much credibility there is in this line.

“Lion person, show your hands.”

“I already said I won’t take out my weapons here!”

It looks like Rouge is having a pretty good time.

“Nii-chan, are you done with your treatment?”

The door to the nap room opened and Shouhei came out from inside.

“Oh, you were inside?”

It’s supposed to be all women inside, except for the little ones.

“I was embarrassed to be a man all by myself. But Yuri-san said it was alright and forcibly took me in. At first, they cried a lot and it was hard for Aoi-neechan and Yuri-san.”

I’m surprised the other people didn’t say anything.

I would have definitely been screamed at.

Well, Shouhei looks younger than he is, and after all, he’s a handsome man.

Society is designed to benefit good looking people, damn it!

“Um, who are those people behind you?”

Ah, I see. This is Shouhei’s first meeting with the two of them, right?

”Ah, this is Rouge. Rouge Richte. The one that that damn rat was picking up.”

“Ah. I’m Rougerichte Dranglow. Are you Kunpei’s brother?”

Rouge, who was introduced, held out her hand to Shouhei with the same expressionless expression as ever.

”Ah, yes. I’m Kazamachi Shouhei. It’s nice to meet you.”

Shouhei took her hand and looked at Rouge’s face.

Curious eyes.

”Well-behaved good boy.”

Rouge stroked Shouhei’s head with one of her free hands.

Apparently, you’ve been recognized as something to protect from the child loving Rouge’s perspective.

“You’re wary of me, but not rude. Good boy.”

“Eh, no.”

Shouhei, flustered by those words, took a little distance from Rouge.

”It’s okay. It’s not a bad thing at all. You should be very careful about the safety of yourself and your family. Kunpei, your brother is smart.”

Right?

The second son of the Kazamachi family is a splendid, cool, handsome man that doesn’t bring shame.

Unlike the first son, who has nothing but shame and notoriety.

It’s sad.

“And next to her is Gasara, the kidnapper.”

“That’s why I said I’m reflecting, okay?”

I know. I’m just kidding.

It’s just that it’s the easiest way to explain it to my family.

“Kidnapping, Jaja and Nana? Nii-chan?”

Shouhei looked at me and Gasara with a dubious expression.

As I thought, the keyword “kidnapping” seemed to ring a bell right away. It’s a great help that the conversation can progress quickly.

“It’s not a problem. Don’t worry.”

“If you say so…”

Like Shouhei, the current Kazamachi family puts the twins first, no matter what.

They are sensitive to the possibility of harming those two.

”Are Jaja and Nana still sleeping?”

“They just woke up. They can’t calm down in an unfamiliar place and wakes up easily. Now that Aoi-neechan is here, she’s trying to get them to stop crying with Yuri-san.”

They’re not used to it and there are a lot of people here.

In the current state, I don’t know when we’ll be able to go home.

I guess they’ll have to get used to it? We’ll have to do something about it.

“Thank you for waiting. Kunpei-san.”

The door to the nap room opened and Aoi came out, holding Nana in her arms.

“Uuuh~”

Nana, who had been crying earlier, was squeezing the jersey Aoi was wearing with an uneasy look.

“Nana! It’s papa!”

Finally!

I still didn’t feel relief until I saw her face.

“Dah.”

I was waiting for her with my arms outstretched, and she clearly refused.

Nana’s was in a bad mood, though it seemed to be partly due to waking up in her sleep.

Nana shook her head and buried her face in Aoi’s small chest.

It’s not like I’m in shock, you know!

“Unnn~”

Nana squirmed in Aoi’s chest.

Poor thing. Normally, she should be sleeping soundly in the dining room of our quiet house at this time.

“Kunpei-kun. It sounds like you had a hard time.”

“Bah!”

Following Aoi’s lead, Yuri-san appeared with Jaja in her arms.

As soon as Jaja saw me, she held out her arms towards me with a big smile on her face.

”Jaja!”

Barely responding to Yuri-san, I put my hands under Jaja’s outstretched arms and lifted her up.

Thank God! If even Jaja was cold to me, I wouldn’t have been able to recover in my current physical and mental state!

I’ll be able to play with Nana to my heart’s content later! Absolutely!

“Dah! Kya!”

‘”Mmm! That was so scary, right! It’s all right now!”

I’m going to rub your cheeks to make up for all my worries.

Yeah! This! Cutie!

“Kya, kya!”

Jaja was laughing out loud with joy.

Ah, I’m so glad I’m alive! I’m really glad I’ve worked so hard to get here!

”Fufu, she couldn’t get used to the atmosphere here until now, and has been unsettled for a long time, you know? Even Jaja-chan, who is not very shy, was still afraid when there are so many unfamiliar people.”

“Yuri-san, thank you. You really helped me a great deal.”

“It’s okay. Aoi and Shouhei are almost like my grandchildren. Ah, if that’s the case, then I wonder if the twins are like my great-grandchildren?”

Is this person a Saint?

“…Dah.”

“Does Nana want to go there too?”

Nana, who had been pampered by Aoi, pulled her face away from her chest to look at me and Jaja.

She leaned over to nod at Aoi’s question and pointed her right hand at me.

”Ah. Dah.”

It’s a rare occurrence.

What is it? Did I make you jealous?

Okay, okay!

You’re always welcome! I didn’t expect Nana to act spoiled so quickly!

“Come on.”

I held Jaja with only my left arm, leaving my right arm free for Nana.

“Yes, say welcome back to Daddy.”

With Aoi’s assistance, I put Nana on my right arm.

The weight of happiness.

Even though they’re small, it’s two people. It’s tiring, but it’s nothing compared to the rush of euphoria.

“I’m home, Nana.”

“Au.”

Shaking her head like she was nodding, Nana rested her chin on my right shoulder.

I rubbed my cheeks against the hair whorl on the top of her head. The feel of Nana’s hair, which has recently become more fluffy, unlike Jaja’s smooth hair, is comfortable.

“Dah!”

“Oh, Jaja as well. I’m home.”

I think I’ve been focusing on Nana too much, and Jaja clapped me in the face.

“Are you okay, Kunpei-san?’

I gently put my hands on my back and Aoi looked at me with concern.

“Hmm? Yeah, I’m fine.”
