Chapter 44 - Fresh Situation

"You guys are graduating from high school tomorrow. I'm sure you've done a lot of things you wanted to do, and things you left undone. But make the most of it in your future lives. Some of you will get jobs, some of you will go to college, but live your lives to the fullest. Well then, that will be all from me."

The teacher left the classroom.

The classroom had a damp atmosphere, more so than usual.

Some have reference books in hand as they prepare to take the exam late in the semester.

I opened a cooking site and was researching cooking with great enthusiasm.

I've been a bit busy lately, learning how to handle fish, trying out new dishes and being Eri-chan's manager.

"Yukishiro, what are you looking at?"

"Cookpad."

"Are you a househusband?"

I am a househusband. Seriously.

Well, I only told him a little about my situation.

"Well then, I'll see you tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow… This might be the last time I'll be able to say that."

"I guess you're right."

Just because, I glanced around the corner of the classroom.

She was reading a book by herself.

"I'm home… Eh, what are you doing, Eri-chan?"

"Playing the good wife."

Normally, I would have braced myself for her to jump at me as fast as she could, but I had to brace myself for a change.

"How is it? It's a fresh situation, right?"

Eri-chan welcomed me while sitting on her knees.

"You need to wait until you're older."

"Huu… Yukishiro-Onii-san treats me like a child."

She playfully tapped me with a warm touch. She's so childish and cute.

"I think Eri-chan would be a good wife without doing that."

"EH!? I-Is that so? E-Ehehe…"

When Eri-chan is embarrassed with her cheeks flushed red, she's so cute!

"By the way… Yukishiro-Onii-san casually mentioned marrying me, right? Hehehe. Mufufu. Once I reach the age to get married, let's quickly submit the marriage registration. As for the wedding, where should we have it? Actually, wouldn't it be better if the three of us just lived in our original home? Dealing with rent and all the other hassle is troublesome. Plus, we can see Mom every day, killing two birds with one stone. Ehehe, the possibilities are endless."

Her imagination started going off, but she seems to be having fun, so let's just leave it as it is.

I think I'll cook dinner.

"The wedding should be Japanese and at a shrine, after all… Eh, Yukishiro-Onii-san, don't go~ I'll cook dinner with you~"

"Yes, yes. Come with me."

"Yes!!"
