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

"Right here?

"Yeah. They say 'Lighthouse of the Protector of Intella'."

I look up to Shohei and the lighthouse with one hand the guidebook that Kayone has prepared for me.

A lighthouse built to stand on a mountain overlooking the city of Inteira.

Inteira is Harbor Street.

It's hard to say it's big enough to flatter, but it's accompanied by a solid fishing port.

At the foot of this mountain where we are, there is the house of Inteira, the lord, and the mansion of Atl, from which the city was shaped to stretch out into the sea.

"It was big from the bottom, but it's amazing how big it is nearby"

"You don't see much in Japan. These lighthouses."

This sturdy looking lighthouse is built with a massive pile of red bricks.

Is it possible that there is a harsh breeze somewhere while making it simple, because its worn out exterior walls, which are hit by sea breezes, are well repaired?

I see.

On this mountain, the lighthouse lights stand out, even somewhat far away.

"Uh? The lights on the side of the sky are magical flame lights, and generations of lighthousekeepers have been sending magic for hundreds of years."

"Heh. Then you've been moving ships to mark the same lights for a long time."

Something romantic about that.

A magical flame that never goes away and keeps an eye on the city of Inteira all the time.

Is that where the protector's name came from?

"Can you ascend?

"Looks like we're only open to the public before the finals of the Sea Dragon Festival, huh? The lighthouse keepers are the only ones who can get in now."

You mean the Sea Dragon Festival and the Battle Junkie Festival?

Guy who says Atl won or something.

"I would have liked to see you inside."

While reading a guidebook written in Japanese, Shohei wiped the sweat shed on the mountain with a face towel.

We came by bus from the foot to the middle belly and walked from there to the top.

It must have been pretty hard for Shohei, who doesn't have the strength.

I've been drinking all the tea from the pet bottle just now.

When I said hiking trails, they were properly maintained, and there was a solid safety fence on top, so, well, it's kind of like a steep slope mon.

My brother's biggest drawback is that he doesn't feel comfortable with the physical aspect.

It's not that I can't exercise, I can't keep my strength up.

I can't help all this.

Shohei was weaker than his ex.

If I caught a cold, I'd been asleep for a week, and I also had chronic headaches and abdominal pain.

He had a weak bronchus and coughed up quickly, because he was always so sick that he didn't have time to exercise.

Even though I went up to high school and got somewhat better, I still complain of headaches if it rains, and in winter I decide to get sick.

The second son of the wind waiter is a sick kid with the thin appearance of that line.

"Brother, let's go that way. Over there. Look, I can see the whole city!

Such a sick and weak man runs to the lookout space under the lighthouse sparkling his eyes.

"Whoa. Okay, so run. We're going to fall?"

You look good in your habit of losing strength in climbing.

Did you want to see so much? This lighthouse.

It's remarkable.

This is the first time I've been overseas in a corner.

The famous tourist destination of the land needs to turn to lose money.

It is possible that you will never be able to leave Japan again because of the feeling of wind hospitality, and enjoy it.

"Brother, come on! You can see all the way to the sea! And the prince's mansion. There!

"I'll be right there. Be in a hurry."

Other tourists look up at the camera or set up the camera to scratch through the noise and move on.

Turning on the camera function of the smartphone, he pointed the finder at Shohei as he walked.

I look forward to seeing the scenery. Take a picture of the back.

That's how big he's grown.

Until just a little while ago, it was about my chest, and when I realized it, it was already about my neck.

So is Jaja and Nana, but Shohei is growing every day.

I wonder if when I get a little older, it won't be very sweet for me.

I don't know much about my brothers elsewhere, but I think they're pretty close only to me and Shohei.

It's good that I get mad at you from Shohei, but I've rarely fought here lately because of boredom, and I haven't said much about Wagamama.

As an impudent brother, I'd like to make him a little sweeter, but, well, Shohei is a good listener, and smarter than me.

I don't feel that I'm sweeter on all aspects of Shohei one way or the other, but I don't think I can if I care.

Yeah, let's not think deep.

"It's good to see the weather."

"Right. I'd love to show it to Jaja and Nana too."

Shohei looks at the view by clinging to the fence for fall prevention.

Stand next to it and view the side of Shohei with the view.

My mother's chestnut hair is shaking in the wind and flowing sarcastically.

"Let's come back when Nana's feeling better"

"Yeah. It's a waste of time if you don't see it"

The two of us will be watching the scenery for a while.

Somehow I stroked Shohei's head.

I always caress my thin hair unconsciously because it feels good. I'd like to see a little bit of my habit.

"Brother, what?

He looked a little disgusted and Shohei turned his protest eyes.

"Hmm? What?"

Still can't stop stroking me.

That's good. Maybe he won't let me stroke him in a little while, so I'm gonna stroke him all over the place right now.

Brother, it's a privilege.

"... nothing good."

You care about the eyes of the tourists around you, this guy's shy.

Your ears are bright red. Shohei-kun?

"... you never thought you'd be able to travel overseas last year"

"Hmm?"

Shohei shrugged in a fine voice.

It's a little hard to hear because of the strong wind blowing at the top of the mountain.

"Ever since I moved here in the spring. Something completely different from last year, isn't it? We are."

"Well. I don't think you're gonna have a baby."

Meet Aoi first in the spring, Jaja and Nana are born, Rouge comes and welcomes Wella and Azui in.

In the last six months or less, our house has become much busier.

Even outside of my family, I thought I'd never see you again with my move and transfer. I'm getting along better with Miyakura and my sister Sabu than before.

I've known Mr. Yury and Officer Doggie, and the meeting sucked, but the Gassaras are now. Well, Dachi...... it's a relationship I'd like to see.

I worked too hard to cope with the sudden changes, and not just me or Shohei, but even my father was very busy.

Thinking about it, isn't it the first time since Jaja and Nana were born?

I can't believe it's just me and Shohei.

I feel sorry for you as a brother.

I can't believe I left my brother alone.

"... at first. I kind of didn't like it."

"... what is it?

Put your arms together and put them on the fence, and Shohei, with his jaw on it, looks at the sea with some distant eye.

"About Aoi sister and the little ones"

"... right"

Well, then, everything was sudden.

It was probably Shohei, not me, who was the most swept away.

"It's not like your brother did something, but suddenly he said something. He said he was on his own."

In the early days of living with Aoi and the others, Shohei somehow understood that Aoi was being approached at a slight distance.

Speaking of me back then, I was too immersed in the night crying and taking care of the twins to neglect all sorts of things, and it may have seemed unreasonable when I saw it from Shohei.

Why did you say that?

"Give birth to someone you like on your own, so you can tell your brother you're my dad. It's a mess to think about right now."

"You didn't even shy away from Aoi at first. I said I'd take responsibility for the twins, so don't blame him too much."

"You don't think anything of it right now, do you? Sister Aoi, you're a good man, and you're a hard worker. Jaja and Nana are cute."

"Oh well. Thanks."

"Pfft. Why are you thanking me?"

No, I don't know.

I'm glad Aoi's been praising me lately.

Seems a little strange to me.

"Sometimes. Sometimes when Jaja or Nana cry or rumble, they think, 'Why me'...... But if you laugh at me or come sweet, I'll be like," Well, come on. "I wonder what it is. I don't know how to say it."

"... if you're tired or busy. Sometimes even I do."

Maybe all this means we're just kids.

"But Aoi, you always seem fine, don't you? I think it's really awesome even though I still cry at night at all"

"Oh, he's a fine mom."

I'm kind of proud of you.

Aoi laughs and hugs how naughty Nana was and how jaja rammed on me.

Parenting troubles I often see on TV and in magazines.

Our twins are no exception and make all sorts of small incidents every day.

Nana, who had an eclampsia, didn't like to throw the breastfeeding bottle, or Jaja, who took a slight look away, fell trying to climb into the dining chair. Such small trouble over and over again in the day.

Aoi responding to it is always so refreshing that he doesn't seem to have time to breathe.

But he doesn't throw up any weak tones or complaints.

There's got to be.

When you want help or when you want to be alone?

I've lived 250 years, but if it came from the other dragons, Aoi would still be a child.

Still a fine mother.

It's not weird to be proud of him like that, is it?

Somehow, I want to work for him like that.

I'm thinking, what's going on?

"It's really helpful to have you and Mr. Yuri here."

"I didn't do much."

Shohei laughed ticklishly as she slightly strengthened her hand stroking her head.

Not just Shohei, but we're getting help from all kinds of people.

I think she enjoys it a lot compared to the other moms.

My husband would have to work to earn money if he was a couple with regular children, so my mom would have to raise nearly half the day alone.

In that regard, my family is being followed by a big mother veteran named Yuri, and Rouge, who loves to babysit, is happy to help. Wella and Azui will be joining us these days, so manually enough.

Shohei does half the chores, and only my father is at work.

... I mean, I'm the one who's useless.

I'm the only one who didn't do anything.

The twins leave their time at school to Aoi, and it hasn't been a financial battle.

I help with chores, but it's really a little bit from the whole point of view.

Bathroom cleaning and dishwashing degree.

If you're not a student, you can't complain about being told you're a hippo.

"I think we need to do something about it."

"What?

Shohei looks up at me strangely.

I narrowed my eyes when I paid for my hair that caught on my forehead sweat.

"It's money. Exactly. It's getting tough for one father to cover the lives of a family of nine, isn't it?

Yes, wind hospitality finances are already being pushed to the brink of the Red Line.

No matter how cute the twins are, I can't just clean it up when it comes to gold.

Something that won't come in for the rest of your life if you don't realistically make money.

That's the money.

Itsmoney.

"Didn't I tell you I was thinking something?

"Oh, a little bit. I'm talking to Gassara."

When it comes to working part-time in that town, I really can't find it until I get to the station.

Actually, I've been looking for a part-time job since before the summer break, but we're all looking for a way to earn money in the country, so I haven't gotten a pretty good reply that even if I put in a recruit, they'll bury me right away.

I mean, I was upset about Atl and this trip.

"To Brother Gassara?

"Oh, a treasure hunter. I wonder how I can be."

Yes, I'm wondering if this is going to work out pretty well.

There is a recently enlarged tooth rock dungeon just outside our house.

I asked Gassara and Seijitsu if that dungeon is a dungeon called a typical 'harvested dungeon', a type of dungeon where medicinal herbs and spiritual grasses and rare minerals from dungeons can be harvested.

Treasure hunter licenses, which are eligible to be placed in dungeons, are essential to collect them, which are traded at high prices for some things.

A guy without a license can't wholesale his collection to the market.

Anyway, if it's a dungeon monster in the forest area around it, I can handle it if I'm equipped. I'm getting tattoos from Gassara and Seijitsu.

I wonder if it's possible to earn a living in that forest alone if you get a license.

It might be a cheap idea, but if you're betting on possibilities, I feel totally feasible.

When I get back to Japan, I'm going to pack it there with gasara.

"... are you going to be a treasure hunter?

"I feel like I have a chance because I have a gusara the same age."

Blah, if we're gonna hit each other with our bare hands, we're not gonna lose to Gassara! Me! Me!

"Isn't that dangerous?

"It doesn't mean you'll get a risk-worthy income, and you can still really be. Don't worry about it."

"Don't worry, even if they say so. Come on. Dad, maybe you can't.

That's where it is.

The biggest difficulty is convincing my father.

Yeah, see, Dad, there's some pretty overprotective parts.

That's what I'm going to do.

"I disagree."

I stroke Shohei's head once more, staring at her mouth.

"You're still ahead of us, aren't you? Come on, where else are we going?

"Oh, uh. I was thinking of going out for lunch. Look at this shop."

Shohei will happily show you a picture of the store by opening the place with the fold of the guidebook.

"Heh, that's good."

"Right? We can take it home here, so let's buy everyone's share."

"Are you going to eat at the Mansion?

"We all have to eat lunch"

Do you?

Well, that's busier and better.

"Well, let's go"

"Yeah!"

Shohei, who turned around well, rushed to the bus station.

"Oh, come on, it's nothing. The store's not running, so calm down."

"They're going to get crowded, so let's go!

I can't help it.

He always looks like an adult, but I knew he was just a kid.

I felt kind of relieved by the way my brother looked like that, and I walked out after him.
