126 126 About Homecoming (1/2)
”Midday, when do you want to go to our parents' house?
On the first day of summer vacation, Zhou asks at midday when he came to Zhou's house as usual.
I should have decided a little earlier, but I started dating midday and wasn't consulting because I was floating or busy with a bunch of things. Shibako tells me I can always do it, so if I could even get a midday appointment, it would be near the August basin as usual.
Midday is repeatedly blinking at Zhou's question.
”... oh, I knew you didn't want to come to our parents”
”Chi, no. Remind me now to interrupt your parents' home... Well, I'll always be.”
”Oh well. I wonder what you'll do for the duration of your stay. As far as I'm concerned, maybe two weeks, maybe two.”
I wave like I panicked and I don't hate it. I grin bitterly at midday appealing, then I worry about how long I'll be local.
So far, there are no invitations from trees or gateways around the basin, and in general, the basin will be around because I spend a lot of time with my family. I don't even have a school day, so if you want to go, it's around here.
I had trouble doing minimal chores myself last year for more than two weeks, but I'm here at midday this year and I have to schedule an appointment. Would it be about a week to two weeks if I were to slow down?
”I don't have any plans in particular. Thousand years old and I haven't set a date yet, so Zhou-kun will decide how long to take us.”
”Then maybe two weeks. You're gonna be fine, okay?
”Yes.”
I settle for the suggested number of days in Zhou, especially since he didn't have an appointment.
Since I am a woman at midday, I also seem to need a lot of clothes, so I suggested that I send my stuff first, and Zhou sent a message to Shibako.
He'll be at work and won't be returning any time soon, but he'll probably be happy to accept and try to prolong his stay. Lovely mothers like midday very much thanks to their midday personality.
”But, Mother, you look so happy.”
”Hehe, right”
”... be ready.”
”Huh?”
”Mother wants to sit at midday.”
First of all, they definitely get knocked down.
It's about the mother who wanted her daughter, she'll behave like she was lucky enough to do this and she'll be adorable.
”As much as I appreciate it...”
”I hope so....... tsuka”
”Yes?”
”... should I say what I started dating?”
If you groan with hesitation, it hardens at midday.
She hasn't reported it to Shibako yet, but she may be made fun of because of her attitude when she goes to her parents' house with her. Is it better to say in advance and do less damage than that?
However, it is the fear of Shikoko that the damage may only increase with less damage and vice versa.
”... well, what shall we do? It's embarrassing to report it again.”
”Right. Absolutely root-digging, leaf-digging.”
