Episode 227: Reunion for one and advance notice

It seems that Makoto-san and Anna-san didn't do anything wrong according to my mother's words, but it seems that the dirt for a few months was terrible, and it took a while to clean up to some extent.

It seems that the bath water was changed several times along the way.

That shows just how harsh it was.

As for clothes, I changed into plain clothes. Makoto-san wore something like work clothes, and Anna-san dressed in a blouse and a flared skirt. She has a great contrast between Japanese and Western.

"Thank you for letting me use the bath even though it was the first time we met."

"Thank you very much."

Makoto-san and Anna-san, who have returned, first bow deeply to my mother.

"No, no, don't worry about it. The original cause was that my stupid son brought you here without any contact. Alexia-san's parents, right?"

"Yes, my name is Katsuragi Makoto. Nice to meet you."

"I'm Katsuragi Anna. Nice to meet you."

"I'm Satou Hitomi. It's nice to meet you as well. Besides, my idiot son is always indebted to your daughter."

"No, no, it seems that our daughter is always being taken care of ..."

Seeing the actions of the couple, my mother waves her hand in front of her, they introduce themselves to each other, and start talking about the circumstances and things about me and Shia.

Alice-chan and I didn't take much time because it was only a few days, and Alice-chan is borrowing Nanami's clothes. It seems that the fact that there isn't that much of a height difference between them worked well. Although it was a little cramped around her chest.

Nanami cleaned our dirt, ventilated the living room, and made it clean. After everyone came back, the dishes were arranged on the table, and despite the sudden increase in the number of people, it was as expected of Mother to prepare for the number of people.

"I never thought that I would also be able to get food ... I am deeply grateful."

"That's true. Thank you very much."

"Th, thank you very much!!"

"No, no, it's not a big deal, but I'd be happy if it tasted good. Please enjoy it."

""Itadakimasu.""

Everyone sits down and the three of them bow to my mother, who takes the lead and eats the food.

"Well then, we would like to apologize."

"As expected, we can't impose on you any further."

After finishing the meal, it became quite late as it was time to take a bath.

However, I think it would be very troublesome to search for a hotel, make a reservation, and move at this time.

"Oh, don't say that, please stay the night. The guest rooms are completely vacant, so I think it would be a waste to stay at a hotel."

"I, is that so. Since it's come this far, I'll take your word for it until the end."

"Yes, I don't mind."

My mother seemed to be thinking the same thing, so when she proposes to the Katsuragi couple, they accept the proposal while looking apologetic.

It's easier and more convenient for me to go to school as it is than to join up with them one by one.

"And, what about Alice-chan?"

"M, me, is it!?"

Alice-chan, who is suddenly talked to by my mother, is surprised and her body shakes.

If the Katsuragi couple's plans for the time being are decided, Alice-chan will be the only one who has yet to decide.

It may be that she still can't keep up with her thoughts.

"Yeah, I don't think it's that far away, and if you want to let your parents know that you're safe right away, I'll have my kids send you. It's dangerous for you alone. If it's okay to leave tomorrow, then you can stay in Nanami's room."

"Hmm."

At my mother's words, Alice-chan crosses her arms and worries.

She was able to come back here and eat and think slowly, so she should want to go home as soon as possible, but it's late, so maybe she thinks it's bad to have Nanami and I send her home.

To be honest, I think I could just send her with Luck's Kagema, but it's visually like she's asking to be attacked, so I think it's better for us to follow her as a deterrent.

This time, I'll take Luck out of the shadows and bring it with me, rather than leave it in this house. It would be more difficult to attack us if we have a dog with us.

"Hahahahaa. Alice-chan, you don't have to worry about us, you know? If you want to go home, you can say you want to go home."

"I, I see, well then, I guess I'll go home."

"Fufufufuu. You want to see your father and mother as soon as possible."

"Y, yeah, that's right."

When Nanami tells her not to hold back, Alice-chan shyly chooses to go home. Nanami smiles, and Alice-chan blushes even more.

"I understand. Then, can the two of you along with Luck send Alice-chan home?"

""Roger.""

After that, we send Alice-chan to her house. It isn't very far.

""Alice!!""

"Mom, dad, I'm home!"

It seems that she had contacted them in advance, and as soon as she opened the door of the house, her parents greeted Alice-chan. The three of them forget that we are behind them and cry tears of joy that she is safe.

We quietly leave the place.

"I'm back safely. Tomorrow, I'll show you something amazing, と."

When I see Alice-chan and the others, I remember that I haven't contacted her since I came back, so I messaged Shia on 'LINNE'.

[ I'm glad you're safe ♪ I don't know what it is, but I'm looking forward to tomorrow ♡ ]

I get a reply right away.

I pray that it will be a good report for Shia tomorrow, and let myself fall asleep.
