Chapter 496 - Telling Parents...

[POV Reo] 

"All of you ready, right?" I asked the girls as I looked around the room. All of them seemed to be very excited, Hela and Yachiru were the only ones who were yet to meet my parents. I wasn't worried about Yachiru, but Hela… 

Unfortunately, I can't find any words to describe my concern and this isn't something I can skip. I need to inform my parents about my upcoming marriage and their, soon to be born grandchildren. 

"Hela, you remember what I told you, right?" I asked and Hela huffed, but she still nodded her head. I have explained to her in many words that she couldn't love my mom like she loves Frigga. 

"Fine" Hela huffed and some other girls started to giggle. 

"You know, a pout doesn't suit you" Fleur pointed out and Hela's nostrils flared. 

"I don't pout!!" Hela practically snarled and childishly stomped her foot on the floor, making several cracks on the floor. Her words would have meant something if she wasn't pouting. The other girls also started to laugh. 

"Come on. Don't tease her. All of us know about her childhood, it wasn't her fault" Momo pointed out after a few seconds. She was laughing too, but she quickly gathered her wits. 

"Sorry, sorry!" Fleur raised her hands in a defensive manner and apologized and Hela couldn't stop her any longer and started to smile. 

"Ok then, let's go" I said and with a wave of my hand, I opened a portal. The girls quickly entered the portal and I was the last one to enter the portal. As usual, our whole group found ourselves standing in the backyard or the Yaoyorozu Compound. 

"Yachiru, Hela, this is my home. Reo's family lives here too" Momo said with a soft smile and started to lead our whole group inside the house. 

"Momo, why don't you go and meet your parents, and I will take the girls to my house" I said and Momo gave me a bright smile before she walked away. I led the other girls towards my parent's flat. Everyone except Hela and Yachiru had already been here, so none of them felt uncomfortable. 

I finally arrived in front of our flat and I knocked on the door. This is bringing back a lot of old memories. After a few moments, the door was opened by my mother and she immediately engulfed me in a hug. 

"How have you been, mom?" I asked softly as I hugged her back. 

"I have been fine son, but you look exactly the same since the last time I saw you, but I can't say the same for me… Hah! Your mother has grown old" My mom said with a teasing smile on my face. It is true that she has grown somewhat old, but she is simply in her late forties. 

"Mom!! You are still very beautiful!!" Nemuri chirped in from behind me and for the first time, my mom didn't frown or scowl after watching Nemuri, instead, she beamed at Nemuri. Mom smiled brightly and pulled Nemuri into a loving hug. 

"How have you been, daughter-in-law?" My mom asked and Nemuri started to happily wag her tails after hearing the question. 

"I have been fantastic, mother-in-law. Your son has been taking very good care of me" Nemuri gushed out excitedly. My mom finally released Nemuri and then she looked around. Her eyes finally landed on Yachiru, and then her eyes finally landed on Hela and my mom had to raise her head to look at Hela. 

"Why don't all of you come inside? I can already see a couple of new faces, I expect my frivolous son to introduce us" My mom gave me a pointed look and I practically cringed internally. The girls gave me a lopsided grin and trickled inside the house. 

"I think I need to ask your father to get us a new house… I can never host all of you in this house" my mom said looking slightly saddened. I simply expanded the room along with the couch with a wave of my hand. The girls quickly sat down. My mom gasped in surprise after she saw the display. 

"You couldn't do that last time" my mom pointed out and I simply grinned proudly. 

"I have grown a lot stronger since the last time" I declared proudly and some girls nodded their heads, but some, namely Dora, started to snicker. I gave her a dirty look and her snickers intensified. 

"I see…" my mom deadpanned. "So, why don't you introduce me to your new girlfriends…" my mom said and I quickly moved behind Yachiru. 

"This is Yachiru Unohana" I said and the said woman gave my mom a polite smile. Then, I moved behind Hela. "And this is Hela" I said and Hela gave my mom a feral smile. I almost smacked my own face. My mom gave Hela a wry smile and gave me a questioning look. 

"Son, why don't you go and bring us something while I talk with all of them?" My mom requested. I don't understand why she always tries to shoo me off, but I can't leave right now. At least, until I give her the good news. Momo is already on her way here along with her parents. 

"Mom, there is something I need to tell you before leaving" I said with a serious look on my face. My mom immediately became worried. 

"No, mom. It is nothing bad, but it is important" I said and my mom finally nodded her head in understanding and I simply smiled. After a few seconds, Momo also arrived with her parents, and my father. My father has retired from his old job and now he helps around the Yaoyorozu Compound. 

"Reo-kun is quite manly, isn't he?" Mrs Yaoyorozu asked Momo in a teasing tone as she entered our house. She easily noticed the two new women among the group. My father and Mr Yaoyorozu simply gave me jealous looks. Hmph. My father should be proud of me. 

"Yes, he is" Momo answered in a similar tone. I decided to completely ignore the two of them. 

"Now that everyone is here. Let me give all of you some good news!" I said loudly and my parents and Momo's parents started to pay me rapt attention. 

"I have proposed to all of them and all of them had said yes" I declared and before anybody could react, Nemuri decided to add her own thoughts. 

"Mother-in-law, you are about to become grandma too!!" Nemuri exclaimed cheerfully and after another few moments of silence, my mom squealed cheerfully and she glomped Nemuri in a tight hug. 

I wanted to be more tactful, but this also works I suppose…
