On the Way Home I Got a Bride and Twin Daughters, Who Were Dragons Chapter 18

“Good morning…”

“Good morning, are you okay?”

I entered the dining room and greeted Shouhei.

“I’m not okay… what time is it?”

I looked at the clock hanging on top of the television.

It was already 10, huh.

I probably wasn’t even able to sleep for 4 hours.

“Your complexion is terrible, are you okay from what happened yesterday at lunch?”

“Oh, that’s fine.”

Shouhei was sitting on the sofa watching gossip shows while eating cookies.

Teacups and tea-cake baskets.

Was this guy really in grade school?

My little brother’s housewife power is too high.

“What about the babies and the older sister?”

“They’re eating right now, I haven’t slept since about an hour ago.”

Although they didn’t wake up that incessantly, when it became morning, the two of them were playing with each other and energetically moving their limbs around.

“The babies are hard work, huh, I received a card to look after from father.”

“Card?”

I’m not interested in dueling with my dad at this age.

I don’t even know the rules.

“Credit card, he said to go buy what the baby needs and that it’s fine even if it’s expensive.”

“Ah, got it.”

There’s a lot of stuff that we need.

“Since Aoi seems to need to return to her nest later to pick up some luggage, we’ll probably go after she comes back.”

“Will you be fine shopping with that hand?”

Shouhei pointed at my right hand.

My right hand was wrapped in a bandage and the doctor said it would take one whole month to heal.

It still hurts quite a bit now and is difficult to move.

“It’s okay if I hold it with my arm, but if you come with me, that would be a great help.”

“Well, I was originally free, so okay.”

“Thanks.”

“You are welcome.”

He really is my younger brother. (TN: MC said thanks in English and was responded to with English)

I sat on the sofa and took a cookie from the tea-cake basket.

Chocolate chip cookies are Shouhei’s favorite.

“Is it okay if I go check out the forest behind us for a bit?”

“The forest behind us?” Shouhei tilted his head.

“That rat guy, I’ll look for him and there’s some stuff I want to ask. He said that he’ll stay in this town for a while, but he just went into the forest and left. I don’t know where his nest is, so if anything happens, it’ll be troublesome.”

Anyway, he seems to be a dragon doctor.

I’m not sure if he’s the real deal or not.

“Well, that forest is quite deep, so be careful. Even if we can see it from the garden, it’s awfully dark.”

“Got it, I will go for a bit after I wash my face, I think I’ll be back by noon.”

I don’t want to get lost behind the house.

“All right.”

Shouhei nodded while munching on the cookies.

I stood up from the sofa and left the dining room.

I stood at the sink, washed my face and looked in the mirror.

My beard was still good, it grows slowly anyways.

I brushed my teeth and rinsed my mouth.

I thrust my head in the sink and was covered with water.

My hair is stiff and I struggle to fix my bedhead every morning.

Washing it with water was much quicker.

I took a towel from the towel rack next to the sink.

It resembled the arrangement of the previous house. I’d like to be able to get something I often use without searching for it.

I went upstairs while wiping my head and face.

Past my dad’s room, past a storeroom, passing by another 2 rooms, it was my room.

In the interior of the second floor, there was another unoccupied room across of mine.

There was nothing inside.

I attempted to knock with my right hand, but saw the bandage and changed to my left hand.

It seems I forgot about my injury, even though it was hurting.

After knocking three times, I called out.

“Can I come in?”

“Yes, it’s okay.”

I waited for a reply and opened the door.

“Are you done feeding?”

Aoi sat on the bed and was playing with the twins.

She was leaned over and looking at their faces, poking their cheeks with her fingertips while letting them grab her fingers.

Even though she was not able to sleep like me, she was delightfully smiling.

“Yes, both of them were able to burp well. They don’t seem to be sleepy right now.”

“I see.”

She was replying but was absorbed in the twins.

“It’s easy to tell that Jaja is delighted when papa comes, here please look.”

Being told so, I also peered at the twin’s faces.

“Ah, ah!”

Jaja was swinging her hands around while smiling.

C-cute.

“Nana is a quiet child, she doesn’t laugh often but, but sometimes her face will get loose and smile.”

I looked at Nana’s face and she strangely looked at my face.

“Look Nana-chan, papa came~”

“Ah?”

Aoi tickled her cheeks with her fingertips and Nana turned to face Aoi.

“Ehe”

Did you recognize your mother’s face, her mouth was half open and slowly changing its shape.

It’s true, her smile had a limp feeling.

This is also cute.

“Oh, I’m going to look for the rat for a bit because I want to ask about things like night crying, and I want to know where he’s living.”

While saying that, I took out a shirt, underwear, and jeans from the clothes case next to the bed.

“Uncle rat, right? I understand.”

“I’ll be back by noon, then we’ll go pick up your stuff.”

I hung the change of clothes over my shoulder and looked at the bed again.

As usual, Aoi was absorbed in the twins.

“Yes.”

Were you really listening?

I left the room while amazed.
