Episode 60 – For some reason, the relatives of the goddess came over ā‘¢
ā€œMom what kind of luggage did you bring? I thought most of was in the ā€˜kicked out set.ā€™ā€¦ā€
ā€œI brought these because she was running low.ā€
Lisa-san then placed a large travel bag in front of us.
I tilted my head at the large luggage, as if I were traveling abroad.
ā€œIt’s pretty bigā€¦ā€
ā€œI’ve got a lot of stuff in there. Clothes, cosmeticsā€¦ā€
You’re right, I couldn’t lend you my jersey all the time… Honestly, it’s a big help.
If you keep using that jersey…
When it comes time for me to wear it, I’m going to be weirdly conscious of it…
ā€œThere’s also underwear in there. The black underwear that I gave to Rin-chanā€¦ā€
ā€œWaw! D-don’t you say anything else!!ā€
Rin hurriedly covered Lisa-san’s mouth.
Then she stared at me with tears in his eyes.
I intentionally yawned and rubbed my eyes.
I pretended as if I hadn’t heard anything at all.
Rin was understandably relieved to see this.
Yeah, that’s the right answer.
It’s better to pretend you never heard of it…
ā€œAra ara~, Rin-chan is so upset.ā€
ā€œWhose fault is it, huh!ā€
She puffed out her cheeks in frustration.
It’s so cute to see her get angry and say, ā€œHuh!’ like a small animal would say in a threatening manner.
By the way, it’s not very powerful.
It’s just cute.
ā€œLisa-san. So, what’s the reason you brought this package? Please tell me without getting off topic.ā€
ā€œI’m sorry ~ā€
Lisa clears her throat cutely as if to regain control of the situation.
She’s also cute in every gesture, but …how old is she really?
As soon as the thought crossed my mind, I felt a momentary chill that made my body shiver.
I’m afraid of Lisa-san looking at me with a big smile on her face…
Is this the kind of physic ability peculiar to the riajus?
ā€œWell, I educated my husband for the first time in a long time. I got a little excited and wanted to go on a trip. It’s been a while since we’ve been alone as a couple.ā€
Lisa speaks in a strangely lusty and happy way.
I don’t know what that education is…
I fact, I don’t even want to know.
ā€œWell, it doesn’t matter. …What are you going to do with Rin-san*?ā€
ā€œRin-chan is staying at home. But I have one problem with thatā€¦ā€
ā€œHaving one person at home…?ā€
ā€œYep, I’m worried about leaving Rin alone at home. Isn’t it scary to leave such a cute girl at home?ā€
ā€œIt’s true, the world is a dangerous place. I’m not sure I want to leave my daughter at homeā€¦ā€
Lisa nodded her head in agreement with my words.
Rin, on the other hand, didn’t seem particularly bothered and was just going to watch it go on.
That’s what it looks like.
ā€œSo, I’d like to ask you a favor, Pon-chan, could you take care of Rin-chan for a week or so?ā€
ā€œThat’s fine. Well, why not …but is it a good idea to leave a cute child at a man’s house?ā€
Rin is swaying for some reason, saying, ā€œCute …Ehehe ~ā€, but let’s leave it for now.
ā€œYou don’t have to be so self-deprecating, you know. I’ve seen and judged you with myself.ā€
ā€œNo, to begin with. What about traveling without the kids?ā€
ā€œOf course I’m not going without asking. It’s only natural to ask.ā€
ā€œā€¦ Is that so? I’m glad.ā€
I gently patted my chest at Lisa-san’s statement.
…If this had been an unconcerned parent, I would have been bitterly disappointed.
ā€œSo, what about Rin-chan, as Pon-chan said? If you want to come with me, of course you can.ā€
ā€œI’ll stay behind, because if I leave for a week, Towa-kun might die of hunger…and his life might become irregular again.ā€
ā€œNo, I’m not that bad, right?ā€
ā€œPlease reflect on your past.ā€
ā€œSorryā€¦ā€
I couldn’t argue with that.
I’ve been too bad in the past…
If I didn’t have Rin’s leftovers, I’d reach for the cup noodles in a second.
ā€œMom, I’m going to stay here so you two can enjoy yourselves.ā€
ā€œWell, I’ll take your word for it.ā€
Lisa-san gives Rin a wink.
As if fascinated by it, Rin looked down, her face flushed.
ā€œI’m going to cause trouble for you, Towa-kun. I’ll give you this.ā€
Lisa-san smiled as she placed an envelope in my hand.
I opened the envelope to see what was inside and found a piece of paper.
When I saw the text on the paper, my eyebrows twitched and I frowned.
ā€œā€¦pool.ā€
ā€œYes, it’s a free pool ticket. Up to five people can go with that ticket. So you can invite your friends, too.ā€
It’s a nuisance.
It would be a public execution for me to be in the pool.
I’ve never had a gift I didn’t want so bad.
ā€œYou don’t look too happy about it.ā€
ā€œUm, well, honestlyā€¦ā€
ā€œThat’s right. What do you think, Rin-chan? Don’t you want to go?ā€
ā€œI’d honestly love to go toā€¦ā€
ā€œNo, Rin. Hold on! The pool is not goodā€¦ā€
The goddess and pool?
The perfect girl and a pool?
No matter how you look at it, it’s attention-grabbing…
I’m next to her and everyone will be showing me all this hate and saying, ā€˜He’s your boyfriend? Isn’t that impossible? You two don’t suit each other at all.’
If that’s the case, then I can already see an incident like that happening.
The most unpleasant possibility is that Rin will attract attention and pick-up artists will come to her.
Even Rin, who was probably used to being approached, would feel uncomfortable.
Rin is looking at me as if she doesn’t understand the gravity of the situation.
ā€œI feel that this is a suitable activity for summer vacation. Besides, in case you were wondering, it’s not the same as the beach as Towa-kun said before, right?ā€
ā€œThe ocean and the pool are the same thing.ā€
ā€œThere’s a difference between saltwater and freshwater.ā€
ā€œThey’re the same in the sense that we swim in bathing suits.ā€
ā€œThere’s no sand.ā€
ā€œNo, that’s not the problem!ā€
From Rin’s eyes, I could sense her usual strong will, ā€˜I won’t back down’.
In my experience, Rin in this mode does not pull back.
I click my tongue inwardly.
Then he looked at Lisa-san as if asking for help.
ā€œThen Pon-chan should take her ~ā€
ā€œBut the pool is a quandry… Lisa-san, please tell her something. It’s a den where dangerous men are hiding.ā€
ā€œHmmm. I think I’ll be okay.ā€
ā€œThat’s too optimistic ā€¦ā€
ā€œYou’ve always taken care of by Rin-chan, right? Then you need to return the favor, right?ā€
ā€œUh … yes, that’s true.ā€
When you say that, I can’t help but gulp.
It’s true that I’ve taken care of her too much, and the gifts I’ve been given you in the past are too little to repay this debt.
As if to push me over the edge, Lisa-san piled on the words.
ā€œHey, if a pick-up man appears ~, Pon-chan should show him what you got~. Girls have to be protected.ā€
ā€œā€¦Huh, I understand.ā€
I shrug my shoulders and let out a big sigh.
I didn’t like the idea at all, but I had no choice but to do so it if my escape route was blocked.
I’m not confident, but at the very least, I’ll try to make it fun for Rin.
…In the meantime, let’s talk to Kenichi.
If he’s there, we can avoid her being picked up.
ā€œWell, we’ve reached an agreement. I’m sure you’ll need many things, so I’ll leave you the money you need for shopping. You can buy whatever you want with it.
ā€œā€¦You’ve been very, very prepared and generous.ā€
ā€œFufufu, the more prepared you are, the better~. Besides, I’ll spare no effort to help my daughter, you know.ā€
ā€œWhat are you talking about?ā€
ā€œWho knows~?ā€
I sigh to Lisa-san, who smiles at me with a calm and charming expression.
…You’re a really gripping person.
But why is it that I can’t deny the feeling that I’ve played?
Well, I can’t come to any conclusions from thinking about it…
Thus, two things were added to my summer vacation schedule: ā€˜a week with Rin’ and ā€˜a day at the pool with Rin.’
TL Note: Some of the parts in this chapter where harder to translate than I would have liked so I procrastinated on it a bit…
