Chapter 29 - Introduction To The Family

"So, Yukishiro. Who is this cute girl?"

"I'm not cute at all, Mother."

"…Please be quiet, Eri-chan."

"Yes."

Eri-chan has been fidgeting the whole time, but she doesn't need to be so nervous.

"This girl is Eri-chan… The one I told you about before."

"This girl… Great, Yukishiro! You can protect such a pretty girl. Your mother is happy."

"I get it, I get it, don't stick so close to me."

"Eh, stingy."

My mother is really affectionate and does a lot of physical contact.

"Well then, let me introduce myself once again. My name is Sekka Akari. I'm Yukishiro's mother. Nice to meet you."

"Y-Yes. My name is Akasaka Eri. I'm a first year in high school."

"So it's Eri-chan. Somehow, I feel like I have a new daughter, so I'm happy."

"O-Oh no, I think that's a bit later."

"Oh my, oh my, I'm looking forward to it."

The two have a mysterious conversation and hit it off.

"Is Yukishiro a bother? Is he behaving himself?"

"Yes, I think I'm more of a nuisance than Onii-san is, because he's always helping me."

"No, that's not true. Thank you for everything. Eri-chan."

"Is that so? Mufufu."

"Oh my~"

At that moment, the chime rang.

When I opened the door, it was Miho-san.

"Eh, ah, N-Nice to meet you, I am Eri's mother, Akasaka Miho."

"My name is Sekka Akari. Thank you for always taking care of Yukishiro."

"No, no, we are always the ones who are being taken care of."

Two mothers stand side by side.

…Even though it's coming from her own son, I think my mother is beautiful.

She has a brown bob haircut, about the same height as Miho-san, and has a great figure. She also wears natural makeup.

Miho-san is also incredibly beautiful, so when they stand together, it creates a picturesque scene.

"Ouch, don't pinch my cheek."

"…I will definitely have bigger breasts and grow taller than Mom in the future. I won't lose to my future mother-in-law either."

"…? Sure. But Eri-chan is already pretty and beautiful enough, though? Besides, Eri-chan should just keep her height as is."

"Why?"

"Because Eri-chan might not be able to sit on my lap anymore."

"…!? I will continue to monopolize your lap, Yukishiro-Onii-san, even with this height!"

…I can't say that because it might hurt my little pride if she grew taller than me. But actually, it's true that I'd miss Eri-chan sitting on my lap, as it's become a part of my everyday life.

"I hope you will continue to take good care of Yukishiro, Miho-san."

"Yes, you can leave him to us. We will continue taking care of him for a long time to come, Akari-san."

It seems that the conversation between the two mothers has come to an end, but I can't help but feel that something is off.

"Yukishiro."

I listened as my mother beckoned me to come over.

"Don't let them get away, okay?"

"…? Yeah. I'll protect them."

I know that even without my mother telling me.
