On the Way Home I Got a Bride and Twin Daughters, Who Were Dragons Chapter 35

“Eh?”

I was dumbfounded and looked at Mikuma with a stupid expression.

“That day! I wasn't able to forget that day ever since I got helped when I was being bullied! Even after going to middle school, my heart would beat every time I saw your face!”

Mikuma talked to herself and she was nearly crying.

“Despite that! My heart was broken before I could even confess! That's too much!”

“No, um, Mikuma?”

“I, I don't know! I as well! I wasn't able to forget after I saw his face for the first time! I saw him caressing Shouhei's head with such a kind expression. If such a kind person became family, wouldn't I live everyday in happiness! I fell in love with him around when I gave birth to the eggs! Yesterday, when he helped me, I was so delighted and it was like fate really existed!”

“Aoi? Huh?”

Aoi was also resolute, she hugged Nana tightly and talked about it with teary eyes.

It seemed as it was uncomfortable as Nana writhed around in her arm.

“S-Shouhei”

“Even if you ask me for help, I can't really do anything. And besides…”

Shouhei surveyed the surroundings while hugging Jaja.

“A lot of people are looking.”

“Eh?”

As I looked around, a large number of people were looking at us.

While grinning.

“Shall we change a location?”

“Oh!”

Shouhei said that and tidied up the bags.

Jaja was laughing happily.

“Um, here's the tea…”

I took the teacup from the tray and set the two on the table.

For some reason, we returned to our house.

While we were coming home, Aoi and Mikuma glared at each other silently the whole way. Shouhei talked to Saeki while pushing the baby stroller.

For some reason, I was carrying a lot of luggage like it was a punishment, I walked without minding my exhausted body and aching right hand. I caught a minivan-type taxi and told him our home address for the time being, and stuffed the luggage in the taxi's trunk.

I was in the passenger seat.

In the back, they were seated in the order they got on. Aoi, Shouhei, Saeki, and Mikuma.

Jaja and Nana were respectively held by Aoi, and for some reason, Saeki.

And now we were in our house and it was 7pm.

Aoi and Mikuma sandwiched the dining table, and time passed without them saying anything.

Shouhei and Saeki got along with each other well, and went out to buy dinner.

Those two people have actually been acquaintances for some time.

Saeki's younger brother was classmates with Shouhei, so he often dropped by the house.

I laid a futon on the dining room carpet and put Jaja and Nana to bed there.

I could hear some sort of conversation between the two of them.

I looked at them, calmed down, pull the chair out and sat down.

The place was located in between the two.

This wasn't a situation where I could just sit next to either of them.

“… Um, I made some tea, but…”

I called out with a timid voice.

A mysterious pressure made the air in the dining room heavier.

“Thank you.”

“Thanks for the food.”

When Aoi spoke, Mikuma also opened her mouth.

They were expressionless while glaring at each other.

Silence once again.

That painful silence pierced me deeply and violently.

I'm begging you, please say something!

“… Kunpei-san is my first love.”

“… He's also my first love.”

“Kunpei-san hatched Jaja and Nana's eggs. I was lonely and he gave me a cute family.”

“Kazamachi-kun protected me who was bullied to the point of crying. I was weak and helpless and he gave me hope.”

“… Although the time we spent together was overwhelmingly short, I won't concede.”

“… Even if you have children, I won't give up so easily.”

Heavy!

It's so heavy, I can't breathe!

Although I wished for someone to speak, now I just want to escape!

“… Truthfully speaking, I understand that Kunpei-san doesn't see me as an object of romantic interest. I'm only clinging onto him with the fact that I'm Jaja and Nana's mama.”

“… I was thinking that I couldn't use the repayment of a favor approach. So, I know that Kazamachi-kun recognizes me as a childhood friend, no, acquaintance.”

“That's why”

“That's why”

The two looked at me at the same time.

“I'll show my everything to Kunpei-san. Not just because he became Jaja and Nana's papa, I will convey to you it's because that I need you!”

Aoi's transparent blue hair fluttered and she looked at me with her direct eyes.

“I won't give up just because you've moved. I want to tell you everything from now on. How thankful I am, how much I yearn for you, how much I want to be by your side!”

Mikuma looked at me, her triple braid swinging and a strong light was shining in her eyes that were behind her glasses.

“Y-yes.”

Pathetic, truly pathetic, I had no other response other than that.

Then once again, the two faced one another and smiled fearlessly.

“I have the overwhelming advantage since we live together. We have all the time to accumulate time between the two of us. Our relationship will also deepen further as we climb over the hurdle of parenting together. It's a shame, but I can't add anything.”

“I wonder about that. If a man and a woman live under the same roof, you'll notice each others' bad points. You have to make sure that you don't come to dislike Kazamachi-kun. I have information that I learned over time.”

Why is it.

Even though it's a man's life dream to have two girls fighting over him, yet I'm not happy at all.

Rather I could not hide my unease as the chills running down my spine suggested the future from now on.

Shouhei, Saeki!

Please come back quickly!

“Kazamachi-kun, no, Kunpei-kun. Is it okay for me to come over to this house at times?”

“U-un.”

Under that intensity where I couldn't say yes or no, I responded with a foolish response.

“Is that so. I'll concede at least that much, since I feel bad for you.”

Aoi shook her head exaggerated, and snorted.

“Yes, you have my thanks. But, you'll grow to regret that leeway later on.”

“You as well, each time you come to this house, you'll taste the sense of defeat.”

The sparks coming from them didn't care about my body and scorched it, the two smiled fearlessly.

Is this scorching hell…

What felt like eternity passed by, and by the time Shouhei came back, I was already dried out to the point of being haggard.

“Hihi, you're tired, aren't you Kazamachi?”

“Damn you, you have the nerve to enjoy yourself…”

An unpleasant smile appeared on Saeki's face after she came back.

“This is the first time in my life that I've seen such an enjoyable Shurabara!”

“… you were thinking it's somebody else's problem…”

“It is somebody else's problem.”

Mikuma and Aoi were competing and standing in the kitchen to help Shouhei.

Shouhei, who was not accustomed to it, seems to be in the way, but he did refuse.

Speaking of me, I was sitting on the sofa hanging my head and looking after Jaja and Nana.

The two who were dressed in matching clothes that imitated a sheep which we just bought are the ultimate therapy.

Saeki was sitting next to me and hugging her knees while looking.

“Isn't this where a man would try and say, ‘Don't worry about that and line up. I'll embrace you two in turns.'? “

“What's with that character… there's no way I could say something like that.”

“Well, the instance you say that is when my golden knee will smash your jaw into pieces. I will get you a liquid food diet expert.”

Did I do anything to you!?

“By the way”

“Ah?”

I became a bit displeased, but still listened.

“Shouhei, became even more good looking, eh.”

“Mm, well…”

“Won't you give him to me?”

Is something wrong with your head?

“What the hell are you saying?”

“No listen, he's handsome, smart, perfect at housework and can read the mood. He's also considerate and his child raising skills are also developing. What's the Kazamachi household? Are you planning on nurturing a lady killer? You're also popular.”

It's nothing like that.

“Tell that to him directly. But don't do anything until he graduates from middle school.”

“Who knows? Shouhei may lose it to my adult charms, and may attack me.”

Saeki said that and took a pose.

I often see stuff like gravure, it's a stretchy pose that's effective with anybody.

But it's a shame. It's true that Saeki is cute and is popular with boys, but let me deny that she has any adult charm.

This is the so called child's body. There is charm but no sexual appeal.

“Ha! Where on your body do you have adult charm?”

“Stop, Kazamachi-kun. You're now trying to book a cheap travel ticket to Sanzu River.”

Saeki said that and threw up her fist.

That's right, her parents were some sort of martial art instructors.

“Cancel, cancel!”

“Please properly pay for the cancellation fee and the administrative fee.”

She smiled while grinning and also ran towards the kitchen.

“Auuu”

“Daa! Aaa!”

The happy twins that were both playing around with my hands.

“Women are scary. Are you guys going to be like that too?”

Even though I asked such a pointless question, of course, Jaja and Nana can't answer.

Only these two that are happily playing, are now becoming my only source for support.
