On the Way Home I Got a Bride and Twin Daughters, Who Were Dragons Chapter 16

Chapter 16
Chapter 16 – The Second Son’s Peaceful Morning

My morning started early .

The alarm clock rang at 5 a . m, I rubbed my sleepy eyes and got out after staying in bed for about 2 minutes .

Although it was better to wake up since it was summer, but it was still cold and you couldn’t part from the futon .

My room in the new house is at the end of the hallway of the first floor .

In the house where we used to live, I was together with my older brother, so I’m still not used to staying in a room by myself . Sometimes, even though there’s no one there, I would turn around and call my brother, it’s very embarrassing .

I was the one who chose the room on the first floor . At first it was supposed to be a room on the second floor, and my dad’s room was supposed to be here .

I think that my father conceded the second floor because it was narrower, but for me this room was better since it was closer to the kitchen and the toilet, so I requested my dad to change with me .

After I left the room, I headed to the sink and washed my face .

I was reflected in the mirror with my unkempt hair and sleepy face .

I turned my gaze upwards a bit while I was brushing my teeth .

The sink was furnished with small accessories .

There were two different colored shavers in a place where I couldn’t reach .

The orange one is my brother’s, and the black one is my father’s . If you asked why they bought two different ones, they each had to find suitable one’s, it seems that it hurts if it’s not suitable .

How troublesome . I wonder if I’ll also use it soon .

Both my father and my older brother are tall . I have to look up all the time, so it hurts my neck .

Both this house and our previous one had many places where I couldn’t reach .

Since I organized the kitchen, most of the stuff are placed within reach, but there are things I can’t do without a step stool for example, replacing the shampoo, bath detergents and light bulbs .

There are some things that I can’t reach even if I use a step stool .

I want to become bigger sooner .

I rinsed my mouth and wiped my face .

I was still sleepy, but there was no time, so let’s hurry up .

I arrived at the dining room .

I turned on the light and took a good look at the room .

It was spacious and pleasant .

A new kitchen, I have to get used to it quickly .

An open style kitchen is amazing . It feels like we’re rich .

I opened the rice cooker, It was bought for me last Christmas, the far infrared pot is amazing . This is one of my favorite things .

My father said that since the rice cooker was something the whole family uses, he’ll buy something else for me, but there isn’t really anything I want .

I decided to buy it after I had something I wanted .

My father smiled wryly and said, “You siblings really aren’t greedy . ”

Is that so? I really wanted the rice cooker though .

By the way, my brother tried to look cool and said, “I’m not a kid anymore, so I don’t need a Christmas present . ”

Then my father pointed at him, burst into laughter and said, “The guy who said he’s not a kid is spending Christmas at home . ”

Even though it’s fine to spend Christmas at home . Actually, the best place to spend it is at home .

Alright, the rice is cooked .

An odor that stimulated my appetite permeated the kitchen, I love this smell .

I took out a frying pan from underneath the sink and placed it on the stove .

I placed a long steeping stool that my father made for me under the stove .

This kitchen was different to the old one and was slightly taller .

I set the frying pan on the fire and went to open the dining room curtains .

It was still dim outside .

I pressed the power button of the air conditioner that was hanging on the wall .

I took the apron hanging at the entrance of the dining room, returned to the kitchen and turned on the ventilator .

I got the yellow apron last year, this is also one of my favorites .

I opened the refrigerator and took out a dish .

Bacon wrapped asparagus that was prepared yesterday evening . I peeled off the cling wrap and placed it in the kitchen .

Bacon wrapped asparagus that was prepared yesterday evening . I peeled off the cling wrap and placed it in the kitchen .

I picked up the salad oil bottle and poured it around the frying pan .

Now I have to make father’s bento .

My father didn’t change workplaces even though we moved quite far from where we used to live .

Now, it takes him one hour to get to work, a tough work life is about to begin .

Well, it was my father’s who wanted to move, so he has no choice but to do his best .

At least for lunch, I want him to eat something delicious .

It’s been responsibility to make father’s bento since grade 3 .

Apparently, we ate convenience store bread up until then . No matter how you put it, it would get dull .

I was still a senior in kindergarten when my mother died .

Both my father and my older brother are very clumsy, but even if I looked at it from my childish perspective, they both did their bests and worked very hard doing things around the house .

I was still young so I couldn’t do anything, but I was able to help little by little and now here I am .

At first, it was cleaning, but just to the extent of finishing what was started .

Next was laundry, just to the extent of putting it in the washing machine .

I was the helper when my brother made dinner, but only to the extent of using the peeler .

It was frustrating .

I did my best every single day . I was extremely lonely after my mother died, but every day was busy so I had no free time to think about it .

If I though about it, my father, my brother and I all clung to mother, so when we lost her, there were definitely plenty of important things we found out for the first time .

“Good morning . ”

My father got up .

Honestly, I think it’s improper to leave the collar of the dress shirt open, but my working father is cool .

“Good morning . Breakfast is almost ready . ”

I made both the miso soup and the salad yesterday . I just grilled the fish .

“Thanks . ”

“Thanks . ”

My father smiled and stroked my head .

“That’s enough, hurry up and prepare . ”

After all, he has to shave and I have to tidy up my hair, since there’s not a lot of time in the morning .

“Well, it seems like Kunpei slept in the room after all . ”

Come to think of it, since my older brother’s room was being used by the dragon-neechan and the babies, I told him to sleep on the dining room sofa .

“Why?”

“They were crying at night . ”

Father laughed while correcting his glasses .

“Babies crying at night is terrible, it seems that it’s the same even with a dragon’s child . ”

I did not notice at all .

“Aoi-no-one alone will not let the twin crying go off, because even one person is tough . ”

So, why was he in the room?

“Unexpectedly, my eldest son seems to be a good dad . ”

I do not really understand .

“Well, since school is still on break, so let him sleep . I could also hear it from my room on the same floor, they were crying every hour . ”

“Were you also not able to sleep well?”

It might be better to change the rooms .

“Well, I’m used to it because of you guys, and I’m separated by one room so it wasn’t that bad, Kunpei is probably very tired . ”

I wonder if he’s okay just because he said so .

Even if I said this or that, he was the only one with parenting experience .

I kind of feel uncertain but for now, let’s focus on the bento and breakfast . There was less than an hour until my father leaves home .

“Shou, I’m putting a card here, could you give it to Kunpei?”

“Card?”

I wonder why .

“Card?”

I wonder why .

My father put something on the table .

Hmm? Is that a credit card?

“There are lots of things you need for a baby . I bought diapers on the way home yesterday, but they’re consumable goods, it’s better if you have it . Also clothes . Baby things are expensive, that’s why use this . ”

Really, I didn’t know .

“It’ll be troubling later on if you’re stingy on things like this now, so tell him that even if it’s expensive it doesn’t matter . That guy should know how to use the card . ”

“I understand, I will . ”

My father nodded and headed towards the washroom .

If I say say myself, the bacon wrapped asparagus was cooked perfectly, it was also seasoned well .

I’ll let it cool for a little and then pack it in the bento .

I put the miso soup pot on the stove and took out the fish from the refrigerator .

I washed the frying pan, wiped it dry then turned on the fire again .

I guess it’ll be done by the time my father comes back .

I removed the wrapped salad bowl from the chilled compartment of the refrigerator .

My shiso flavored dressing is popular, both my father and brother love it .

“Even so…”

My older brother, is a papa, right?

I can not picture it at all .

“Will it be alright?”

I raised my head and looked towards the second floor .

Although I say that, I could only see the ceiling of the kitchen .

It was a quiet morning, a quiet second floor .

There were people I didn’t know, and a brother different than usual, but it didn’t feel that way to me .
