Kenshi o Mezashite Nyūgaku Shitanoni Mahō Tekisei 9999 Nandesukedo! ? Chapter 40 (2/2)

「We’ll divorce, and Laura’s relatives would be only Okaa-san. After that is done, Otou-san’s drop out request would be invalid」

To the worsening situation that came in a surprise, Laura’s heart could not keep up with it.

For the meantime, she looked at the ceiling to calm herself down, “there’s a hole there”, she thought.

However, she could not calm down at all, so she decided to face reality, and convince her mother.

「D-Divorce, no! I love both Otou-san and Okaa-san! I don’t want a home where the two isn’t together!」

Laura desperately said.

However, she did not think that the word divorce would come out, so she could not tell her feelings properly.

Laura got into a panic, thinking of how her mother would understand her.

「That is right desu wa. This might be intrusive, but you should not say divorce so easily. Also, in front of young children」

Charlotte shot a supporting attack.

*KokuKoku*, Anna also nodded on her side.

And then, this time, Dora was the one who got in a hurry, and said that she’d take back her words.

「Ah〜, no, I won’t I won’t. I won’t divorce. I just wanted to say it a bit. I’m so p.i.s.sed off that much, but I won’t break off with him with just something like this. Sorry, I surprised you」

Hearing that, the three girls let out a sigh of relief.

For the meantime, it looks like the worst case scenario would be avoided.

However, there was no progress at all about the drop out request.

Anyways, nothing would happen if Bruno did not come here.

「For the meantime, let’s call Otou-san」

「……you have ways of contacting him hiding in the mountains?」

「I do. I’ll raise smoke」

She said that, when they were working full time as adventurers, they have a smoke signal.

「I wonder if he could really see it〜?」

Looking at the white smoke that raised to the sky from the yard, Laura tilted her head.

She was near to it so she could clearly see the smoke. However, her father is in the mountains.

The distance is quite far away and it might be blocked by the trees as well.

「It’s alright, it’s alright. Otou-san and I have good eyesight. We haven’t become that old that we’d miss the smoke」

“Is it something like that”, Laura, at the least, was convinced.

「I think that Otou-san would take some time to return from the mountains so, you should take care of your belongings okay? I’m cleaning Laura’s room regularly so it should be clean」

「Thanks, Okaa-san」

Laura guided her two friends to her room on the second floor.

Just like her mother had said, there was not a speck of dust.

She felt very happy that although she was not living here anymore, her mother would clean it for her.

“This is really the place I should go home〜”, she really felt.

「This is Laura-san’s room? Sorry for saying this, but……your bed is large compared to your body」

Charlotte could not be blamed to point that out.

After all, the bed in this room was a level larger than the normal size.

Compared to that, Laura is still 9 years old.

There is no reason that a small person should sleep on a small bed, but this bed is still unreasonably too large.

「Ahaha……Otou-san said that『It’s my daughter, she should become big!』, and made it cutting the trees in the forest」

Before, Laura had slept on the same bed with her mother, but when she became four, she was given her own room and bed.

Laura who heard her father’s words, believed “I see, I’m going to become big”, but the signs of that was not appearing at all. Her height was still at the average for her age.

「With this bed, we can sleep together with the three of us」

Anna whispered that, and actually laid down on the bed.

She rolled back and for from the ends of the bed, and closed her eyes after being content of its wideness.

「Suya〜……」

「Anna-san, it’s still in the morning you know?!」

It was too early to have an afternoon nap.

「The sheets were quite good, so」

Anna who raised her body, scratched her head to shyness.

And then, “Haa〜”, Charlotte let out a sigh.

「Laura-san, Anna-san……why does both of you do such a cute thing, and seduce me? Do you want to become my body pillow that much?!」

「I don’t remember seducing anyone」

「That’s right! Please don’t say weird accusations!」

「It is not accusations! Always having gestures like a small critter……ahh, I cannot hold back!」

Saying those gibberish lines, Charlotte spread out her arms, and pushed down Laura and Anna on the bed.

「Waa! What are you doing, Charlotte-san!」

「You’re too close……」

「Haa……lovely body pillows on both sides……this is heaven〜……」

Charlotte lets out an ecstatic voice.

Laura did not have any clue for the reason, but she felt like it was something she should not get in the way with.

And Dora who saw how they were doing, happily whispered: “Ara, ara〜, the three of you really get along”.

“I won’t say that we don’t get along, but isn’t this a little different, I think”, Laura could not help to think like that.
