CP11

Today is a Saturday morning and I am at the park sitting on a bench slouched down and my cheek resting over my right palm. Smiling all the while looking at a couple of kids playing around.

Mom was on an outing with her friends who were also the parents of my brother's friends. Because of that, I was then tasked to accompany them for the whole day. So there I was looking at a couple of excited kids with bags of change of clothes and toys to use at the park.

My eyes then went by near the sandpit where my younger brother is playing with his friends, two boys, and three girls. At first, they started playing tag then hide and seek, and now they are sitting on the colored half tires talking.

Then one of the boys pointed at the sandpit and they started gathering the necessary toys and started working on them. Though I had to call out to them to start wiping the sweat off their bodies every once in a while. Such obedient kids they ones are.

"Ah, Misaki-Chan, let me help you with your sand Castle!"

Mao Yasaka, naughty one of the group and a growing pervert if the way he looks around mature women were any indication, He has dark green hair covered by a yellow hat similar to that of Kindergartens use and blue jean Jumper pants and a pink shirt. He is also Sei's self-proclaimed rival in Gunpla making boasting that his grandfather's Gunpla Shingyo School was the best in all of Japan.

"Ano, Mao-chan I can do it on my own."

Misaki Oukami, a little girl raised in a traditional family and wearing a child's kimono instead of a dress, is a silent girl and surprisingly assertive about what she wants. Her family owns an Inn managed by her Grandmother. Also, the venue where the parents went to. Supposedly she was going to work at the inn but the parents' group managed to convince Misaki's mother to allow her to play with the others.

"Oi Sei! This part is falling apart you know!"

Aria von Reiji, A boisterous spiky red-haired kid with a 'futuristic design' sunglasses on his hair wearing a red T-shirt and gray shorts, called out to my brother while waiving the toy bucket and trowel.

"Ah Reiji-kun, we need to add some water on that side first."

Saying that my little bro, who wearing a blue shirt and brown shorts brought up some water bottles filled, with water from the tap that they brought along, and splashed some on some sand. Reiji become more enthusiastic with the sand and started forming another sand Tower.

"Sei-kun look, look. Isn't it pretty?"

China Kousaka, A brown-haired glasses-wearing girl wearing a child's dress for playing around poked my little bro and pointed at some flowers she arranged and stuck in another sand Tower.

"That's so pretty China-chan. Ah, but the supports are starting to fall apart. Let's fix it up a bit."

Sei started pilling up some wet sand on the Tower base and carefully adding some to stop it from falling apart as he worked on it.

"Reiji! Look what you did! My Castle of Burgers and Fries is now gone!"

Aila Jyrkiäinen, a silver-haired girl wearing a pale gray beret and a child's dress with a more simplistic design than China's, is currently manhandling Reiji who may have accidentally tossed his bucket on Aila's Sand Castle.

Time passes by and the kids are now tired, anticipating that I had them agree to head back home. Mao had better ideas, he coerced Reiji and Sei to make me carry all of them home. These guys...

Disregarding how we reached the house, I had the kids take a bath each by group with the girls being calmer and the boys still have the energy to be rowdy and played around in the bath. I was busy cooking our meal. Children Style Curry.

When the parents' group came back at night the kids were all asleep and full. They slept in separate groups still since the boys move a lot in their sleep especially Mao. The parents just had smiles on their faces and each took their children one by one and left.

Mama Iori just looked at the departing kids and hugged me, her breast pressed on my face and humming a joyful tune.

"Good work Roan, how was your day been."

She asked me and she stopped hugging me but still in her arms. I shrugged.

"The kids had tons of fun and burned a lot of their energy. I also had fun looking over them"

I didn't mention that I also had some fun at the kids' expense by messing with their sand castles here and there but let's just leave it to the kids as memories.

We then had a few short chats and I then excused myself to take a bath. Arriving at my room I saw my still not yet complete new Gunpla.

It originally was just a Delta Gundam but as I look around various Gunplas for ideas I started thinking about another franchise and thought I can incorporate those ideas on this one.

And then...
