Chapter 40
Family without Outsiders
Now in a good mood after having refreshed ourselves at the hot springs of Rocko Volcano, we returned home in the plateaus .
“U~n! As expected, returning home feels so nice!”
Come to think of it, I’ve almost never experienced overnight trips, so this new feeling was quite fresh to me .
“Maaamaa, the bride was beautiful, riight!?”
The wedding ceremony had a few hiccups, like the Blue Dragon’s attack . But all in all, it seems my daughter has already rewritten those troubled memories with enjoyable ones; it’s a very good thing .
“That’s right . Leica’s older sister looked very happy, too . ”
“If Farufa gets married one day, will Farufa be wearing those sorts of clothing?”
Farufa said innocently — But I, on the other hand, stiffened somewhat .
Perhaps a day will indeed come when Farufa gets married and leaves me for a life of her own .
Wait, but maybe since Farufa is a spirit and has had that form for fifty or so years now, it’s possible she’ll never become an adult . Since her appearance will stay that of a child, then perhaps she won’t get married after all?
Damn it! I fear that my daughter will leave me one day It makes me feel lonely…
However, as one would would expect, I’m just fretting over nothing . To admire a wedding ceremony is perfectly natural for a girl . It’d actually be strange if someone with the appearance of a ten year were to declare they wanted to be single their entire life .
“You know, when I get married, I want to live in a lovely red brick house . ”
D-does that mean she’s planning on moving out?!
I received another shock .
Fa-Farufa… Even if you do get married, there’s always the option of the married couple moving into their parent’s house… Look, we can expand this house into a two-household residence . ”
“Mama . . What are you talking about?’
Farufa tilted her head to the side, staring at me blankly .
Sharusha gave me a pat on the back without holding back .
“Sharusha wants to stay beside mother forever . . So, I’ve been studying cooking lately; I want mother to eat my delicious cooking . ”
Ah, what a good child! She’s so considerate of her mother!
I reflexively pulled Sharusha into a close embrace .
My daughter is too cute . My heart can’t take it!
“Mother, are you happy?”
Sharusha is a cool-headed child whose feelings rarely show on her appearance . But I know that deep down, she’s a very kind-hearted child .
“Yeah, of course . Sharusha’s feelings managed to reach me . ”
“It’s not fair for it to only be Shrusha, mama! hug me tightly too! Tightly!
Sharusha came begging while hopping in place . Farufa was honest with her feelings, but her consideration for others was the same as her younger sister, Sharusha .
“Yeah, yeah . Mama isn’t unfair . ”
This time, I tightly embraced Farufa .
This might be a supremely blissful time for me .
“Well then, it’s been awhile since it was just the three of us, parent and children, so let’s sleep together . ”
“Wa-i! Farufa is happy!”
Sharusha also nodded repeatedly .
To be perfectly frank, I’d be happier sleeping with my daughters than receiving 100,000,000 yen . I would never let the opportunity go .
――Then, I felt something .
It felt like Leica was watching us . When I shifted my attention to her, she immediately turned away, but…
“What’s wrong, Leica?”
“No . . It’s . . nothing . . ”
“Should I give Leica a hug as well?’
Like I said back at Rocko Volcano, Leica was like a little sister to me . Her appearance looked like it belonged to a middle school student, so she surely felt like a younger sister .
It seems like Leica is thinking for a while . Ah~ This is where I should be the assertive older sister!
“Good grief . It can’t be helped~ . ”
I hugged Leica from here .
“Ah, sorry, Azusa-sama . ”
“I can stop if you want . ”
“No… It’s not . . unpleasant . . ”
In other words, she was holding back . That’s no good .
“Leica, you act too much like an honor student . You have to tell me what you want with your own words . ”
“Y-yes . . That’s right . . ”
Being selfish is part of the younger sister role, right?
Leica quietly nodded . In Leica’s case, she’s with our family; since she’s alone, I must fill the older sister position for her .
“Ji~”
And this time, it’s the elf, Harukara, looking over .
“Master,that hug . . Please give it to me too!”
Harukara requested while expressively raising her hand .
“Ah~ Harukara… “
Certainly, partiality wouldn’t be good, but . .
“You don’t feel like a daughter or a younger sister… “
Harukara is a two-hundred year old elf, but her appearance is precisely like a girl just crossing into adulthood . Furthermore, her appearance is . . um . . to sensual . . so embracing her might be . . a bit too much . .
“Eh~, isn’t it fine since we are fellow girls? Look, like a tomo-cake . ”[1]
What’s that concept similar to tomo-choco . .
I have recollection of it from my memories in Japan .
“Back in my hometown, during winter, we would give home-made cakes to the same-sex whom we received a favor from . ”
Does this world also have a custom similar to Valentine’s Day……?
“Haa, I see, I see . Then, get over here . ”
“Ye-s! Thank you, Master!”
Harukara started clinging onto me .
Bounce .
Harukara’s breasts pressed against me .
“Huh . . I can’t get close to you like Leica did… Why?”
This kid sure says whatever’s on her mind . . I think she needs to be a bit more aware of her breast size, though . .
“Would it be possible for me to absorb a portion of that chest size . . ? I wonder if such a spell exists . . ”
“What are you saying, Master?”
“Nothing . ”
Like this, everyone member of the family got a hug and it ended safely .
That being said, I thought I was going to return to my normal everyday life, but――
“Azusa-sama, I have to prepare dinner soon, but I couldn’t buy enough groceries before travelling, so there aren’t that many ingredients to work with . ”
Leica reported so . There were hardly any ingredients, for sure . But even if I go shopping now, there’s a chance the vegetables might already be sold out .
This calls for a special occasion .
“All right . In that case, let’s eat out with the entire family today . ”
Footnotes:
1 . I thought we would go this chapter without footnotes, but nope . 友ケーキ [tomo-cake] or literally “friend cake . ” It’ll be explained later on what this is . Also, 友チョコ [tomo-choco] or literally “friend chocolate,” is a type of chocolate given during Valentine’s Day in Japan to friends as a sort of gift . In Japan, only girls give chocolate during Valentine’s Day . Afterwards, the males give gifts to whomever they received chocolate from a month later during White’s Day .
