“What a long day…”

In the dining room at the new home, the old man surrendered himself to the brand new sofa .

My entire body felt heavy .

The right hand that I received treatment for also hurts .

I was sticky all over from dust and sweat, I honestly just wanted to sleep .

“Onii-chan, shall we eat soba?”

“I’m counting on you, I’m starving to death . ”

Inside the opposing kitchen, Shouhei was cramming the ingredients I bought into the refrigerator .

“Go take a bath and change your clothes . Ladies and babies will hate you if you smell . ”

“Please stop nagging so much . ”

“Nope, hurry up . ”

There are more frequent scoldings .

This guy’s becoming more like mom, year by year .

Even though he’s still in sixth grade .

“Oh, while you’re at it, could you boil the water for the bath?”

“Roger that . ” The old man who was fiddling with the TV’s cord, called out without turning around .

I left the dining room .

My room was on the inside of the second floor .

I didn’t have a lot of things so I was the first one to finish unpacking my room .

I climbed up the U-shaped stairway and walked to the end of the hallway .

“…Fuuu”

I took a deep breath .

I gently knocked the door 3 times .

“Come in . ”

“Ah, are you guys alright?”

I opened the door after hearing a reply .

“…How is it?”

Aoi and the two kids were lying down on the bed in my room .

Aoi was wearing my pajamas and the overly large sleeves were rolled up .

“They’re sound asleep . Please look . Sometimes their hands move, they might be dreaming . ”

They had a calm expression and she was stroking the older sister’s head .

It’s kinda nice .

The old man’s room was overflowing with things and it would be difficult to fit three people on Shou’s bed .

A room with few items and a big bed, my room was the only one that satisfied those conditions .

I planned to sleep in the dining room .

The kids were wearing Shouhei’s s.h.i.+rts .

They were in their growth period so soon it would be too small, but it was better than nothing or reused old clothes .

They’re sleeping well .

I drew closer to take a look, the older sister’s loosened .

I wonder if she’s laughing?

“But, was it okay?”

“What was?”

“Um, intruding on your house . ”

Are you still asking about that?

“The old man said it was okay, Shou also approved . I also think that it’s better this way . Remember, majority rules in this house . ”

After breastfeeding, I discussed it with the old man .

It’s kind of scary having to fly back to that huge boulder while hugging two babies, anyhow I have to be present for the daily breastfeeding .

Officer Doggy was also in favor of it .

If it was exposed that there was a dragon in this town, it seems that there’s the possibility of an increase in the number of people climbing to the dungeon .

Those kidnapper looking guys with Gasaraio might even launch a surprise attack .

Those kidnapper looking guys with Gasaraio might even launch a surprise attack .

Be that as it may, the kids are powerless .

It’s better to have more people to protect them .

Officer Doggy and officer Inoue also seemed worried .

It seems they’ll come over on patrol at times .

At the peak of that huge boulder, if there was anything there, I can’t rush over right away .

I mean, I don’t know if there’s anything there .

If that’s the case, near the nest, and of reasonable size and kept out the rain, our house was suitable, that’s what the old man said .

“I said it earlier right? Don’t hold back . ”

“… Yes . ”

Aoi was bashful but looked delighted .

… She really is a beauty, eh .

“I need to go to the nest tomorrow morning to bring my stuff over, though I just have clothes . ”

“If there’s anything I can help with, I’ll also help . ”

Although I can’t use my right hand since it won’t heal for a full month .

“Hey”

“Yes?”

You’re anxious, I mean, you have something you’re worried about . I think it’s better to say so early .

“Choose the name”

“Ah”

It’s difficult to call them older sister and younger sister forever .

This was something important .

“T-that’s right, the name . ”

I sat down quietly on the bed, careful not to wake them up .

Aoi also sat up .

“Actually, I decided when I knew that the eggs had life in them . ”

“Actually, I decided when I knew that the eggs had life in them . ”

“Really? What is it?”

It that’s the case, this will be quick .

These kinds of things take time to think about .

“Um, I took it from the legend of the ancient dragon . ”

I guess even dragons have their legends .

“… I’m not sure whether Kunpei-san will be pleased or not . ”

What are you worried about .

“It’s your children, so it makes sense for you to decide . ”

“But, Kunpei-san is the papa . ”

She became a bit sullen and stuck her lips out .

I was troubled by her gesture, please stop .

“Well, you already had one month, but I was suddenly told I was a father without warning . I still haven’t caught up yet . ”

“That’s true, but I don’t like the way you’re speaking . ”

W-women sure are difficult .

“But you should decide the name, I don’t know how dragons name their children . ”

“T-that’s true, isn’t it . Um, dragon children have different names than when they’re adults . When I was a child, I was called Ai, not Aoinoun . ”

A childhood name, eh .

“A name is decided when you become independent but, at that time, another true name is received . For me, it’s ‘Blue Sky’ . The only one called that in this country . ”

It’s kind of becoming complicated .

“I heard from my mother that generally an easy to use name is picked when you’re a kid . ”

That said, Aoi stroked the twin’s heads with both hands .

Although some immaturity remains, it was a splendid mother’s face .

“The older sister will be called Jaja, Jaja Dragoline . The name of the dragon hero . Strong and brave, seems like a female that suits a smile . ”

I looked at the older sister . Did getting stroked feel good, her lips once again loosened .

“Jaja, is it?”

“Yes . The younger sister is Nana, Nana Dragoline . The hero of the dragons . Wise, and sweet, seems like a female that would help a lot of dragons . ”

“Jaja, is it?”

“Yes . The younger sister is Nana, Nana Dragoline . The hero of the dragons . Wise, and sweet, seems like a female that would help a lot of dragons . ”

I looked at the younger sister .

Her mouth was open and she was drooling . I wiped it up with my thumb, I properly washed my hands .

“Nana . Un, aren’t they both great names?”

“R-really?”

Why would I lie .

“Really . Well, now that the names are decided I’m going to take a bath . ”

“Ah, please leave some hot water . I want to enter after the two wake up, can you help later?”

I need to ask my old man about how to bathe a baby…

“Got it . We’ll do it right after I get out . Which reminds me, are you eating with us?”

“Ah, yes . Please . ”

“Mm . I’ll tell Shou . ”

I opened the clothing case and took out a change of clothes .

I placed my hand on the door and thought of something for a moment .

I turned my head and looked at the 3 people .

“Hey”

“Yes?”

That sight was somehow very gentle .

“It was unexpected, it still doesn’t feel real, and I’m doubtful I understand properly, but . . ”

My mouth naturally slackened .

“I will do my best, so please take care of me, Jaja, Nana, and Aoi . ”

Perhaps, the current me, is making the face that my mother had .

“… us too, we’ve caused you various trouble, but”

Aoi pressed down firmly on her chest and slightly lifted her head .

“I think it’s great that Kunpei-san is here”

That smile was the cutest smile ever .
