On the Way Home I Got a Bride and Twin Daughters, Who Were Dragons Chapter 81

Currently, I'm “looking up” at Jaja and Nana from the dining ceiling.

I know it sounds strange, but this situation is too abnormal to be expressed in normal means.

To be more accurate, my feet were on the ceiling and I was looking down at the ground.

Up and down were completely reversed.

“What… what should we do?”

Yuri-san was sitting next to the twins and looked at me with her hand on her cheek.

“What shall we do?”

I should watch my step. Dust that had accumulated on the ceiling shifted with my movements and slowly fell to the ground.

It's dirty. I have to clean it someday.

Oops, now's not the right time to think about that.

If I bend my knees lightly, my body will float up.

It's a strange feeling.

It's a different feeling than standing on the ground.

After experiencing it for myself, I somehow understood.

As expected, this phenomenon caused by Jaja was changing the gravity of an object, instead of floating it.

The floating toys and I have lower gravitational pull. It feels different than being lifted.

As for that doll, it was affected by a stronger gravitational pull.

If I remember correctly, the gravity that normally applies to us is the weight?

Only that doll was affected by tens of times more gravity than normal, so I couldn't pick it up.

I was worried and looked at the doll on the floor.

I wonder if it can stand it, it's about to break.

“Uwah.”

I'm terrified.

Naturally, if it's affected by a weight that far exceeds its own, it will break.

Jaja looked at me her large afraid eyes.

It looks like she's asking for help.

Hmm?

Jaja is scared?

Ah, could it be?

“Yuri-san, can you get me the red plane from the toy box?”

Something clicked.

In order to check the thought that flashed by my mind, I asked Yuri-san for help.

“A red plane?”

“Yes.”

“Okay, but why?”

“It's a toy that Jaja hates.”

“Hmm?”

Yuri-san got up while tilting her head.

The toy box was located outside the wooden enclosure and next to the sofa.

When Yuri-san approached the sofa and removed the lid of the box, it was densely packed with many toys.

More than half were things my father bought or received.

He received a lot of toys and clothes from colleagues with children that don't need them anymore.

These gifts help us a lot since we don't have any extra money to afford it.

Toys are appreciated but clothes are especially appreciated.

The twins who are growing day by day quickly grow out of their clothes.

They already can't fit through the sleeves on the baby clothes I bought in the beginning.

This was because Aoi and I didn't think it through. We didn't even consider choosing clothes for growth.

We will need slightly large clothes in the future.

Yuri-san who opened the toy box rummaged through it.

A wooden red airplane toy appeared.

It is a sturdy airplane with a deformed propeller.

“H-huh?”

Yuri-san tried to lift the aircraft, but she couldn't.

“If I'm right, it should be extremely heavy.”

“It's no good, I cant pick it up. It was just so light a while ago though.”

“Okay, bingo.”

This red propeller plane toy has all parts attached so that it will not be easily disassembled.

It has a round shape and is probably a toy for children older than Jaja and Nana.

Because there were no sharp or minute parts, I tried giving it to Jaja and the first thing she did was bite it. She didn't like the fact that the protruding part got stuck in her mouth so she tossed it away.

Nana plays with it normally, so she didn't throw it away.

“Bingo?”

“Yeah, the things that Jaja bites and likes are lighter, and the ones she doesn't like are heavier.”

She hates the doll and the airplane.

Jaja is a child who is delighted with most things, so things she doesn't like are rare.

Those results has also revealed a lot of other things.

First, is the effective range.

If everything that Jaja bit floated or sank into the ground at the same time, that would be disastrous.

Aoi who is outside right now will be floating in the sky and everyone would be panicking.

But that possibility is zero.

Because there were no changes to the landline telephone in the corridor that can be seen from the dining room.

It often fell prey to Jaja when it recently used to be on the low table in the dining room.

Once the phone rang right when Jaja was biting it and it surprised her, and since then she starts to cry just by approaching it.

That telephone is probably the thing that Jaja hates most.

Since nothing is happening to it, that means Jaja's ability is limited to this dining room only.

Her maximum or minimum range will need to be verified.

And the time of influence.

Of course, Yuri-san is also a victim of Jaja's biting habit.

She watches after her while I'm at school, so it's natural.

I heard from Aoi that her thumb was lightly bitten yesterday, so after at least a day, it seems to be excluded from the effects of Jaja's abilities.

I now know a lot more, but I still don't know how to fix the current situation.

At least about 40 minutes have passed since the ability was activated.

Is it released only by Jaja's will, or will it go back to normal over time? The scary thing is if you have to stay in this state forever.

I won't be able to live if I'm in this floating state all the time.

If you go outside, you will definitely be swept away by the wind and will go missing.

“It's amazing, but what a bad child, Jajchan. As expected of a dragon.”

“Ah! Dah!”

Yuri-san picked up Jaja who was cackling with laughter while clapping her hands and looking at me.

“It's going to be problematic papa if things stay like this. I wonder if you can fix it?”

“Au?”

Jaja tilted her head adorably.

Yup, that was the look of confusion.

“Well, what can I do?”

I folded my arms and thought while upside down.

“Yeah, it seems like step one is time, right?”

“Ahhhhhhhhh!”

Before I realized, the rat sage, Alba Germain, was standing on my chin. His usual magician robes blocked my field of view.

Alba tapped my jaw with his staff.

“Hahaha, what's with that reaction?”

A gray fluffy rat was laughing at me with a contemptuous attitude.

Even the timing for when he appears is irritating!

“Didn't you say you were going to be gone for a while! You said you were going to pick up the dragon who is going to protect us?”

“Well, that child always gets lost if you leave them alone. That child was going to cross over to the continent from the Sea of ​​Japan if I didn't go pick that child up, even though that child came from the continent.”

“Then, is that person already here?”

It's true that Alba is here.

Damn, Aoi's not here, and we haven't cleaned up yet.

The room is more or less ready, but the bedding isn't finished yet.

I was going to pick it up tomorrow with my father.

Moreover, I can't meet anyone in this state.

Uwah, my first impression is going to be terrible! It will hinder future relationship building!

“No, I'm taking a break right now. Anyway, that kid is a ground dragon and can't fly in the sky. I took a detour to keep it as inconspicuous as possible. I heard noisy spirits from the direction of this house, so I came back alone.”

“Just you?”

“Yes, this distance doesn't mean anything to me. If there's a dragon there, I can move there faster than a blink of an eye.”

Now I somehow understand how this guy appears out of nowhere.

“More importantly, the problem with the twins, right?”

Ah, that's right.

Why do you tend to completely forget your purpose whenever you talk with this guy?

I'm sure it's because of how irritating this guy is. Yup.

“Rather than twins, more like just Jaja.”

Though imperfect, this guy is a self-proclaimed dragon doctor.

Compared to me, his experience with dragons is like heaven and earth.

It's vexing, it's reaaaaaaaally vexing, but I have to rely on this guy!

I really don't like it! But It can't be helped!

“No, no, something happened to Nana, right? I can tell by looking at her.”

“Ah, that's right. You were gone from the day we went to the ranch.”

“Ah, was it that day? I see, Nana ‘doesn't use so much'.”

What is this guy saying?

I'm asking you, could you please stop speaking in a language that only you can understand?

“Well then, is it your turn now?”

Hmm? me?

Alba jumped off my chin and landed gently on the dining room floor.

He raised the staffed and pointed it at me.

“History's first dragon's ‘father', papa's job.”

His little mouth warped into a grin, and the rat sage laughed.
