Chapter 24 - Shopping Rhapsody (2)

“Diapers and a change of clothes… what do you think? Should I let them wear the stuff we bought? No, I don’t want them to get dirty before we go shopping. Should I bring clothes? What do you think?”

“Onii-chan is acting strange.”

No, I’m just asking for your opinion.

It’s about the contents of the bag?

“What are you saying, I’m always strange.”

I am confident.

While Aoi returned to her nest to pick up her baggage, I was preparing for us to go out.

I pulled out a rucksack that we do not normally use and got what I needed.

I was hesitating whether I should bring clothes that Shouhei used to wear when he was a baby.

Hmm. The stuff might get covered with mud when we come home.

Should I limit the things we are bringing to a minimum?

I tried to move smoothly and quietly so as to not wake up Jaja and Nana who were peacefully sleeping after the breastfeeding at lunch.

The futon was laid out in the dining room where the sun was hitting, they were breathing like it felt very good and their posture was very cute.

I would be thankful if they could wake up around the time when Aoi gets home.

“How can you move so quickly for someone who’s delayed in preparing for school?”

I wonder if I should go to buy those.

Ah, things like pacifiers are necessary after all.

Let’s write that down.

“That, when did you start using a memo?”

“Hey, can you stop with that earnest worried face? Your brother is terribly hurt.”

Is this what it means to be vexing?

Shouhei had a pale expression, it didn’t feel like he was kidding or acting.

“It’s still fine because we’re family, but if a stranger saw, it would seem like you’re planning to commit a crime.”

Can you not give critical damage to your brother so accurately.

“A large suspicious person that’s grinning while happily stuffing something into a bag… It’s at a level where the PTA needs to be mobilized if this was a school route.

“Please stop it.”

What on earth did I do!

It is a false accusation! False accusation!

“… it’s like you’re a perfect papa, incredible.

“What are you saying, it hasn’t even been a day yet, I can’t become a father so quickly.”

I’m not that much of a skillful man.

The rat also exposed my awkwardness.

“Well, it’s a good thing for Jaja and Nana, so I’m not complaining.”

Saying that, Shouhei headed to the kitchen.

It’s like he had a dissatisfied expression when he was saying that.

“What’s up with him…”

I don’t understand.

You can generally sense what’s going with Shouhei just by looking at his face. But right now I couldn’t read his mind at all.

Should I try talking it over with him tonight?

I zipped up the fastener of the rucksack and carried it to the entrance.

“I just got back, was Jaja and Nana okay?”

“Oh, you were quick, welcome back.”

The door slowly opened and Aoi folded her wings and came in.

Aoi’s nest was at the peak of an inverted triangular monolith called Tusk Crag, which was a large boulder in the forest at the back.

Although you could see it from here, but since Aoi can fly in the sky, she took such a short time for a distance that looked like it would take an hour if walking.

She also spread out her large wings when I saw her off, it looks like it was pleasant to dance in the sky.

It seems like you don’t have to be in dragon form to fly.

“Ah, they’re still sleeping. What, you really only had that less stuff?”

Aoi was carrying two medium size suitcases in her hands.

She was carrying the backpack that I gave her on the front side since she had wings on the back.

“Yes, since I originally didn’t have much and the big items like the bed and dresses couldn’t be carried, since it will be a hindrance.”

Aoi dropped the luggage one by one by the entrance.

“I’ll carry it to the room, so take a rest, since you didn’t get much sleep.”

I took the bag she dropped and carried it on my back.

I’ll carry the suitcases one by one since I couldn’t use my right arm.

“N-no! I’ll carry it, Kunpei-san! Please wait!”

I told you yesterday that you should not hold back.

It appears that she wore it from the nest, Aoi was becoming flustered while taking off some shoes that were not easily taken off.

I ignored that voice and went up the stairs, I placed the luggage in the room and Aoi climbed the stairs while holding the suitcase that was left behind.

“Please don’t ignore me.”

Mother would say that much is fine.

The source is my mother.

My father was always being made to do errands.

“C’mon, take a break until the kids wake up, since the preparations to leave are already done.”

“… I don’t really want to agree, but I’ll take you up on your offer… I’m going to change my clothes.”

Come to think of it, you’ve been wearing my clothes all this time.

Black hooded parka and jeans.

I don’t have confidence in my fashion sense, so I hide it with black, the majority of my clothes are black.

“Hup”

“Hey! You!”

There was someone who suddenly took off their clothes!

I hurriedly left the room.

“I already told you that you should be mindful about those kind of stuff!”

I closed the door to the room and shouted.

“Well, it’s because you weren’t paying attention earlier.”

“Do you know what TPO is!?”

Japanese is difficult!

“Anyways, you’ve already practically seen me completely naked, if it’s Kunpei-san, it’s fine.”

“Is that a good justification!”

What is this fellow’s trust for me.

If I think about it, it felt like this from the beginning.

I went down the stairs while pressing my left hand down on the sound of my violently beating heart.

When I entered the dining room, Jaja and Nana were still sleeping and Shouhei was there using a tablet.

“Onii-chan, did you decide where to go?”

Ah, that reminds me.

“I haven’t looked it up yet. I plan on taking a taxi, so it’s okay even if it’s further away.”

I don’t know the shops around this area, so I’d like to decide the destination before leaving.

“Then…”

Shouhei turned the screen of the tablet towards me.

“How about this place? It’s not close, but it’s a shopping mall built last year. It’s a place closer to where we used to live.”

There was a fancy site entitled the 1 year anniversary sale.
