“Wow~you really picked up a good person, Itsuki !”
Two men waiting for dinner in the living room.
My dad, who had just gotten out of the bath, laughed cheerfully and patted me on the back.
“Picked up…that’s rude to Towa san…”
Well, it’s true that I did pick her up at first, but I’m not going to talk about that.
My dad ignored what I said and continued to smile happily.
In the kitchen, three women were busily preparing the meal.
With my mom and Towa san, who are both good cooks, and Riko helping out, there was unfortunately no room for a man to help.
If I did something clumsy, I would be treated like a nuisance. No, Towa san wouldn’t do that, but the youngest child in our family is strict.
Soon the meal was ready, and Towa san arranged it beautifully on the plates. She picked up the finished plates to serve them herself.
“Ah, Towa chan ! I’ll carry them !”
“Thank you, Riko chan.”
“Eh, hehe…I can’t help much with the cooking, but I can at least do this much…”
Completely charmed by Towa san, Riko acted like a member of the family (she doesn’t act like that with me or my dad) and smiled sweetly as she carried the food.
“Hey, Onii. Put it nicely.”
“Okay.”
I neatly arranged the plates that had been tossed onto the table.
Men are at the bottom of the hierarchy in the household during mealtimes, so even if my sister treated me roughly, I couldn’t say anything.
When most of the dishes were ready, Towa san came over with a tray holding a bottle of beer and a glass.
She gave me a glance, then knelt in front of my father and handed him the glass, holding the bottle so he could see the label.
“Father-in-law, I’ll pour it for you.”
“Oh, oh, sorry. Thank you.”
My dad was so flustered he could barely contain his laughter. Towa san smiled and poured carefully.
Then she poured my beer as well.
“I’m sorry. I got distracted.”
“It’s okay. Dad looks really happy.”
“You’re my number one, Itsuki san…”
We whispered to each other so that my dad couldn’t hear. Just that alone made me feel fulfilled.
And so, the Kusunoki family gathering with Towa san began.
“Towa chan~, can I have another drink~?”
“I’ll pour it for you.”
“Hehe, are you drinking too, Towa san~?”
“Yes, I am.”
“Then let’s have a toast ! Cheers !”
“Cheers. Fufu.”
Even after switching to sake, Towa san cheerfully kept up with my dad, who was in high spirits.
“Towa chan ! Forget about the drunkard and talk to me !”
“Towa san, let’s talk more about cooking?”
She was extremely popular and completely in demand.
“Hey, you guys, stop pestering. Towa san wants to talk to this great father-in-law !”
A family war was about to break out over Towa san. Even the maid couldn’t handle this.
“Hey, Dad, don’t be so selfish. Towa san is in trouble.”
“What did you say?”
I smiled at the drunkard’s gaze.
“Sometimes the son will entertain you, Father.”
“Hmm, hmm…well, I’m not opposed to that…but saying Father is creepy. That’s reserved for Towa san.”
“An old man who says that before his 60th birthday is creepier.”
This time, I gave Towa san a nod and took over entertaining my dad.
Towa san bowed slightly and moved her seat over to my mother and the others.
“Towa chan, Towa chan, let’s sleep together in my room tonight.”
Riko, who is completely attached to those she trusts, clings to Towa san.
“Hmm, that’s very tempting, but…I’m sorry, Riko chan. Maybe next time.”
“Why not?”
“Because my important person is looking at me with such a lonely expression.”
Saying that, she gave me a sidelong glance.
Me?
“I don’t care about Onii ! You’re just gonna cling to Towa san anyway !”
“That’s not true. Tonight, I plan to cling to him a lot too…♪”
“Oh dear…”
Towa san’s bold statement left Riko speechless with her face turning bright red, while my mom seemed to be enjoying herself, placing her hand on her cheek in a dreamy manner.
“Hey, Itsuki san?”
Is she turning to me now…!?
“Fufu♡”
W-well, I wasn’t really jealous of my family or anything…
After that, the two of us spent plenty of time being spoiled in the room alone.
