On the Way Home I Got a Bride and Twin Daughters, Who Were Dragons Chapter 38

“What happened?”

I knocked on the door and entered after hearing a reply.

Aoi was hugging Nana inside the room.

Jaja was sleeping in the bed.

“Ah, Kunpei-san. It seems like Nana flew again when she was sleeping and she was shocked when she fell.”

Aoi comforted the unsettled Nana by slowly moving her up and down.

“Again, huh… it’s happening pretty often.”

“She’s growing, isn’t she.”

“Fue, fuehhhh”

“Yes, yes. Nana-chan, it was scary, wasn’t it. There, there.”

Two days after flying in the shopping mall, Nana floated in the dining room.

It was when she was napping peacefully, I was shocked when she started to float.

“It seems like the dragon’s growth rate has been accelerated because of the human factors. How interesting. Fantastic!”

Those were the words of Alba Germain who comes to gather his meals nearby the garden every morning.

As always, he says stuff that’s hard to understand.

Anyway, I don’t really understand, but Dr.Rat-san says what he wants.

It took me half a day to understand.

We remembered the danger Jaja was in and already took countermeasures.

Basically, they don’t fly when we hold them.

They often float when there’s no one there, when they’re playing by themselves or when they’re sleeping.

So the things we had to be careful of was, them drifting with the wind and using up their power and falling.

There were holes pierced into the backs of their clothes so that their wings could pass through.

A short soft string was passed through that hole and tied to a loop on their baby futons.

It’s a measure to prevent from flying too high.

It allows them to float 10 cm.

If it’s any shorter than that, they can’t move when they’re sleeping normally and it’ll make them stressed.

Of course, we weighed the baby futon down.

Furthermore, the mat was changed into feathers, softness was key.

Just in case, we covered my room in colored mats and also made a similar space in the dining room.

That mat is sold at the home hardware store.

Even so, there’s still some impact remaining when falling.

It’s not that the height hurts them, but when they suddenly fall, they always get surprised and it’s the reason they cry at night.

When we’re sleeping sideways, we make sure to use our bodies to press down the comforter, but sometimes we roll over.

So, I attempted to verify something.

I can’t stay not knowing anything forever.

Their flying ability is limited.

According to Aoi, they won’t keep on using that power to fly, where their wings receive the wind.

I don’t understand it well, but it seems that if their wings receive wind, they borrow the power of the spirits.

Even the experienced Aoi affirmed that she couldn’t fly for long periods of time with that power.

In other words, I know that they can’t float for long.

If that’s the case, what we need to know is how long they can float for and how long until they’re able to float again after being exhausted?

This verification has not gone well so far.

Some days go by where they don’t fly and others where they fly twice or three times in one day.

There just isn’t enough samples.

Speaking of what we can do, we will never take our eyes off them when they fly and not get in their way.

If they exhaust their power to the limit, the time they can spend flying increases.

They can fly for around 10 minutes.

I don’t think that’s long enough to be called flying, so I think it’s better to increase the time they can fly.

We must be careful from now on.

“Did somebody come over?”

“Huh? Ah, it was Officer Doggy. It was about how Officer Doggy’s mother would come to take care of you guys while we’re at school. Isn’t it tough to take care of the kids by yourself?”

She looked up at me while holding Nana.

“Y-yes. Well, I was wondering about what I was going to do. I’m wondering what kind of person is she…”

For Aoi, who has stranger anxiety, she would be uneasy coming into contact with people outside of the Kazamachi household.

She smiled with a troubled expression.

“She works at a nursery in our neighborhood. I don’t think we have to worry about her treatment of children. Well, I don’t know what she’s like though. Shall I contact Officer Doggy and greet her first?”

“Yes. Where’s Shouhei-san?”

“Shopping, he just left.”

Shouhei has been acting strange recently.

Sometimes he blanks out like he’s thinking about something, and sometimes he even fails housework, which rarely happens.

The other day, he forgot to buy curry roux, so it became a large vegetable onion soup.

I appreciate him taking the initiative to take care of Jaja and Nana, but it feels like he’s forcing himself.

He doesn’t tell me anything even if I ask.

What should I do.

“Uwa”

“Nana also settled down. Would you like to sleep a little more?”

“Lie down and rest until Jaja wakes up. Do you need to change Nana’s diaper?”

Leave it to me.

Even I’m gradually improving my skills.

In the beginning, I was perplexed by the moving kids while changing them, but now it’s different.

Let’s make it an artistic diaper.

“Hey Nana, come here.”

I spread both hands and called Nana.

“Nuuー”

Nana held Aoi’s clothes tightly and wouldn’t let go.

“Hey”

“Nnnnー”

She buried her face into Aoi’s chest.

“A-ha-ha…”

Aoi laughed bitterly.

Nana loves Aoi.

Even when she sleeps, she’s accustomed to sleeping in Aoi’s arms.

On the contrary, Jaja makes a delighted clamor when I hold her, she gets so delighted that she tires herself out and falls asleep.

They’re twins, but they’re different as expected.

“… ah.”

It seems like Jaja woke up.

“Auu, ah!”

She moved her arms and legs flustered and energetically appealed to me.

“Did I wake you up. Sorry.”

I could not hold Nana, but I can hold Jaja.

I held her by the sides and slowly lifted her up.

“Au, ah!”

Jaja looked right at me and delightfully rejoiced with a big smile.

“Jaja likes papa, right.”

“I also want to hug Nana, but…”

“Don’t worry, it’ll be fine.”

When I was bending down to sit next to Aoi, the doorbell rang.

“Hm?”

“Is it a guest?”

How rare for successive visitors.

If it’s sales or solicitation, I know it’s rude, but it’s not a good time.

“I’ll look after Jaja.”

“Sorry, I’ll come back quickly.”

I entrusted Jaja to Aoi.

“A-ah! Nuu!”

Jaja gripped onto my clothes and I couldn’t shake my hand free.

I feel kind of bad for her.

“Come on, stay here.”

I gently pulled Jaja off and Aoi picked up the twins.

“Sorry, I’m counting on you.”

“Yes.”

I left the thoughts of being pulled back in the room and went downstairs.

During that time, the doorbell continued to ring.

“What is it? How persistent.”

I got it, you don’t have to press it so many times.

How thoughtless.

“Yes.”

I put on the entrance way slippers and opened the door.

“You finally came out.”

Standing there, was an extremely beautiful woman.
