Chapter 197: 197
Arriving at Rei-san and Fia-san’s home, even though things have become a bit flurried, it seems that dinner is ready, so we moved towards the dining room .
There, I see Fia-san laying out lots of food, and looking somewhat happy, Rei-san spoke .
[Oya? It seems like we’re having a feast today . ]
[Yeah, Sieg-chan’s voice came back and Miyama-kun came to visit . I have to show him my skills . ]
[……They look delicious . ]
[Mother is the one who taught me how to cook, so she’s pretty good at it . ]
The food lined up on the dining table, had a homely atmosphere, looked very tasty, and I could tell that Fia-san was a good cook just by looking at it .
Then, Rei-san and Sieg-san took their seats, while Fia-san smiles towards me and pointed to an empty chair .
[Come now, Miyama-kun, sit down . ]
[…………… . . ]

The moment I heard those words, a nostalgic scene flashed in my mind .
——–Look, Kaito . Sit down, Mom worked really hard today!]
——–D- D- Doesn’t this look a little extravagant?
——–I mean, it’s Kaito’s birthday! I even baked a cake!
It’s a really nostalgic memory, a childhood memory filled with happiness and love that I had taken for granted .
——–Mom, isn’t this cake crushed flat?
——–Ugghhh… T- That was because it couldn’t carry my love……
——–It would be great if it’s just something like this……
——–You- said- some- thing, Dear?
——–Sorry .

Thinking about it now, that cake was quite a terribly-made one…… It was messed up with cream here and there, the sponge was a bit burnt…… but, it tasted great .
(T/N: Sponge was apparently what the… spongy part of the cake is called . )
[……Miyama-kun?]
[Ah, I’m sorry!? Excuse me . ]
In a way, this is the first time I’ve seen the scene of a family sitting together in harmony since I came to this world, and it seemed to remind me of the past, making me freeze .
After Rei-san called out to me, I sat down and a little flustered, I clasped my hands together .
[ [ [ [ Thank you for the food . ] ] ] ]
[……Whoa, Fia, you really stepped up your game today huh?]
[Hmmm…… Delicious . As expected, I still can’t compete with Mother . ]
[Thanks, I’m Sieg-chan’s Mother after all . You won’t surpass my cooking skills that easily . ]

As I listened to their joy-filled voices, I brought the food into my mouth .
I see, Fia-san’s cooking certainly is very good…… Its taste is homely yet simple, but it’s so warm and inviting…… How should I say this… It’s like the taste of a mother’s home cooking .
The flavor isn’t so thick, but it’s so delicious that it slowly seeps into my body . It was just the way I like it .
[Miyama-kun, what do you think?]
[Yes . It tastes really great . ]
[That’s good—– Miyama-kun!?]
[Eh? A- Arehh?]
I responded to Fia-san’s question with a gentle smile on my face, but for some reason, Fia-san looked at me with a startled expression on her face .
I also noticed from her reaction, that before I knew it, tears were running down my cheeks .
[I- I’m sorry!? Did it not taste good?]

[Kaito-san, are you okay? Could it be that you aren’t feeling well……]
[Ah, no, that’s not it . This is, errr……]
Somehow, my tear glands seemed to have loosened up when I remembered Mom and Dad .
Hurriedly wiping my tears with my hand, I shook my head at Fia-san and Sieg-san who are concernedly asking me, while Rei-san looked at me with equally concerned eyes .
[……It’s just that I slightly remembered my parents……]
[……No, it’s not surprising . It can’t be helped if you remembered your parents back in your world . ]
[……No, my parents…… they passed away back when I was a young child . ]
[……I see, I’m sorry . ]
[No, it was a really long time ago, and I’ve already sorted out my feelings . ]
……I’d be lying if I said I didn’t feel lonely without my parents . I still remember Mom and Dad well .

However, I’ve already got my answers about my parents’ deaths in my own way . My parents probably wouldn’t feel relieved if I just stood still and grieved…… Thanks to Kuro, I’m able to think that way .
[……It’s just that, errr, how should I say this…… I slightly remembered when we were all together for dinner as a family . ]
[Kaito-san’s parents must have been very kind people . ]
[Yes…… Ahhh, they were slightly like Rei-san and Fia-san, my parents were cheerful people . ]
Unnn, Rei-san and Fia-san really are a lot like Mom and Dad .
Dad was usually very cheerful, and he would sometimes say a few unnecessary words that made Mom mad at him, but he was a great father who was very kind and dependable .
Mom was always cheerful and smiling, and even though she was very clumsy and not very good at housework, she was always positive and cheerful .
