After fainting for what felt like 5 minutes, I woke up and just stared blankly out the window, while Ai, sitting beside me, was watching my reaction, rolling her eyes around like a puppy that had caused trouble.
The atmosphere itself wasn't heavy, but for some reason, no one spoke a word due to an inexplicable loneliness.
The senior who was watching even found this atmosphere amusing, which somehow irritated me, but since I owed her this time, I tried to ignore it.
But we couldn't stay silent forever.
“Ai”
“Uh... yes!?”
When I called her, she looked at me like a puppy waiting for the next command right in front of me, and I had a useless thought that if she had a tail, it would be wagging furiously.
“First... let's hear the circumstances.”
“Yes★”
Put away the star.
After hearing all the circumstances from Ai, what shocked me the most was.
“You really drugged me with sleepi... sleeping pills and had sex with me!?”
“Yes!!”
“Couldn't resist a momentary impulse!?”
“Yes, yes!!”
“More than that, how did you know about such things!?”
“The internet!!!”
“This damn!!!!!!”
“Hey, youngest, you shouldn't swear.”
Damn!!!
Scolded by the senior, I cursed inwardly again and eventually.
“Phew... well, if this is fate, then it's fate...”
Did that ‘girl’ know this would happen and tell me to change fate?
Perhaps the only thing is that what I have to do hasn't changed much.
Originally, I intended to live as the protector of these children, but from now on, it has changed to protecting them as their parent and... husband.
“Ha... well, what's done is done...”
“Then!?”
“Ai, you're an adult too, so you have to take responsibility.”
“...Yume, you're the best!! I love you sooooo much~~~♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡”
“Yeah, yeah.”
It was always the 'I love you' she said, but it seems the 'I love you' between you and me was different.
It's too late to say I realized that now, so I guess I'll just let it pass.
I patted Ai who was hugging me and looked at Aqua and Ruby who were hesitating.
“Come here, Aqua, Ruby”
“.......Papa!!!!!!”
“Dad...”
Ruby came hugging me, calling me Papa, and Aqua, perhaps a little shy, said Dad instead of Papa, but also ran to my side.
In the end, I hugged all three of them at once, and the pain in my abdomen had already faded away.
While hugging Ai, Aqua, and Ruby, I looked at Saito.
“......What about the dome concert?”
Trying to ignore the pitiful look he was giving me, I asked about the dome concert.
“Don't worry, it's fine, youngest~”
“Senior?”
The person who answered wasn't Saito, but the senior.
“For this dome concert, our side provided quite a bit of support, you know? We postponed it to next week on the condition that we cover all the costs.”
“...It seems like it will be a considerable amount.”
“Well... it might not be small, but it's an amount that our youngest can cover by working hard for just one month, right?”
“....It seems you have a lot of work for me to do.”
“Ufufu, by the way, this money came from my personal funds?”
“Sigh... I understand.”
Knowing that if I receive such a favor from this senior, given her personality, I'll be sucked dry to the bone marrow, I prepared my heart in advance.
“Then, I'll take my leave first. See you at the dome next time, okay?”
“Yes, please go ahead.”
“Take care of yourself~”
The senior said that and left the hospital room, leaving me, Ai, Aqua, Ruby, Saito, and Miyako.
“Saito, that...”
“It's okay. Honestly, I expected it to some extent, so... if there's any shock, it's more on the other side...”
Saito said that and looked at Ai, who was in my arms, seemingly having a territory dispute with Ruby, both holding my right and left hands in a non-dispute dispute, while Aqua had already taken refuge.
“To be honest, it's better for us that you become Ai's lover.”
“Huh?”
What is this, casually announcing Ai's love news like that...
“I have no intention of announcing it, so relax your expression.”
“I'm sorry.”
I didn't mean to...
“Anyway, you're registered as Ai's guardian, so there shouldn't be any problems now, right?”
“That's true, but.”
“Then, marry her after she retires.”
“.........Thank you.”
I felt gratitude for Saito's consideration and bowed my head, to which Saito waved his hands as if embarrassed.
“Hey hey hey! Don't bow!? I didn't even know you were such a high-ranking person....”
“Ahaha....”
The atmosphere had lightened, and Saito teased me, and I accepted it, creating a good mood.
Saito and Miyako left first, and eventually, the remaining people were me, Ai, Aqua, and Ruby—only our family.
“Is it okay if we don't go home?”
“Yes, from today on, I won't leave Yume's side.”
“Ruby won't leave Papa's side either!!”
“Ah!? Ruby, Yume is Mama!”
“Since Ruby's Papa, Ruby has the right to have Papa too!!”
“.....No, Dad isn't an object.”
Watching Ai and Ruby argue over my rights, I felt a lump in my throat for some reason.
“Yume, are you crying...?”
“Papa?”
“Dad?”
“Ah........”
I knew that the warm liquid flowing from my eyes was tears and tried to wipe them, but.
“Huh... ahaha... for some reason today...”
I'm so happy... but happy... why can't the tears stop?
Without even thinking of wiping the flowing tears, I just smiled and hugged 'my family' again, and the 'family' in my arms soon shed tears like me.
Our hospital room echoed with the sound of crying, as if vomiting out the accumulated resentment.
After crying, Ruby and Aqua, tired, fell asleep on the bed I was lying on, and I got up from the bed on purpose to look out the window for the children. Then
“What are you doing, Yume?”
“Nothing much. What about you, Ai?”
“Me? I”
Ai came close to me and hugged me as always, then
“I'm ~so happy~♡”
“Is that so”
Thinking back, with Ai's personality, even from my position as guardian, she wouldn't have hugged me like this often, right? Am I that oblivious in this regard?
“Yume”
“What is it”
“I was really scared, honestly.”
“Is that so”
I tried to show only the good things, but it seems my caution was lacking.
“And thanks to what you said, I feel like all the actions I've thought of until now are lies but not lies.”
“Yes, the reason you lie is because you haven't been honest with your feelings yet. So from now on, if you express those feelings without lies, I'll be satisfied with that.”
“Yes, so I'm going to try expressing it from now on.”
“Ah.. Ai?”
Ai slowly approached me, wrapped her arms around my neck to match my gaze, then
‘Chu’
“Ehehehe★ I've become a body that can't live without Yume, so you'll take responsibility, right?”
Ai's eyes were filled with desire, and all I could do upon seeing those eyes was.
“Yes, I'll stick by your side until you hate me.”
To hug her and convey my sincerity.
“Then, can Yume and I do 'that' now?”
“'That' what?”
“Sex, I mean sex.”
“Pfft!?”
At Ai's blunt statement, I felt the pain in my abdomen, which wasn't even hurting before, coming back, and I cautiously guessed that this pain wasn't from a stab wound but stress-induced stomach pain.
“First, how about we start by fixing your self-centered personality from today, Ai?”
“Aaaaah~!!!! I want to, I want to!! I want to have sex with Yume!!!!”
“Don't say it so loudly!? The kids are here too!!”
“They're sleeping!!”
“They might wake up!!”
Due to my and Ai's voices getting louder, I turned my gaze to the bed, worried that Aqua or Ruby might wake up, but fortunately, they were still sleeping, so I was relieved.
First, I need to cover Ai's mouth, which keeps shouting the crazy word 'sex' in front of me.
“Mmph!! Mmmmph!!!!”
“Please be quiet.”
I beg you, I clearly said to convey my sincerity, but I didn't mean to convey it bluntly like this.
As an extra, this time too, Ai was diligently licking my palm, but this time, while enduring the dampness, I continued to cover her mouth.
Even after licking continuously, since I didn't remove my hand, Ai eventually gave up licking and tapped my hand, and when I removed it.
“Puh~ You're not letting go this time.”
“I'm not falling for the same trick twice.”
I need to wash my hand first.
No matter how much time passes, I never get used to this dampness.
