I Kept Rescuing Unlucky Beautiful Girls and Before I Knew It, They Were Targeting Me
“So, is your eye all right? let me see.”
Mom came up to me and took off the eye patch I had gotten from the hospital.
“! It’s in bad shape. …… so swollen.”
“It’s just an appearance. I’m blind in one eye and it’s inconvenient.”
“It doesn’t hurt, does it?”
“As long as you don’t touch it.”
“Well, that’s good. Don’t worry. I’ll make sure the killer gets a good life.”
“That’s not something I’m interested in getting into. ……”
“….So? Are these girls friends of Izuru?”
“Yes, the one with black hair and braided hair over here is Ryoka, the one with green hair is Eri …… Chieri, and the one with the blonde ponytail is Kaguya.”
“I’m so glad to meet you, mother! I’m Kanae Ryoka, we’re in the same class!”
“I’m Chieri Suo…….”
“I’m Hijiri Kaguya!”
“Nice to meet you, I’m Midou Ruka, Izuru’s mother. Nice to meet you, Ryoka-chan, Chieri-chan, and Kaguya-chan.”
“””Nice to meet you!”””
“You brought the girls in while we were gone again. …… Why aren’t you bringing them in when we’re here, Izuru?”
“E-Eh? Did I do that before?”
“It happened at our last house when you were little. I told you to stay home, but you went outside and brought the girls in and played with them.”
“….I don’t remember that.”
“Haa…… and so? you brought in three girls to play with you today?”
“The way you say it! It sounds like I forced them to come with me!”
“You know, it’s not normal to invite the opposite gender to your house when your parents aren’t home, unless you’re doing something wrong.”
“……, it just happened?”
“Haa,……, just like your father,……, I wonder why you and your father are alike in that way? And these cute little girls…… Izuru? Don’t make a girl cry, okay?”
“I know!”
“So? What did you do with dinner? You didn’t make it, did you?”
“No, I made it.”
Eri raised her hand a little and replied.
“I see! Thank you, Chieri chan!”
“It’s a thank you.”
“Thank you?”
“Yes.”
“Hmm? Well, let’s hear more about it later.
So, it’s almost go home time, Ryoka chan, Chieri chan, and Kaguya-chan, are you okay with time?”
“Oh,……, sorry, Mom. In fact, all three of them are staying at home.”
“…… Ha?”
“Um, sorry, actually…”
Ryoka answered Mom’s question and explained the situation.
“I see…… that’s tough. Chieri chan and Teruyo-chan?”
“I want to thank him for all the help he’s given me.”
“I’m helping because my fault caused Izuchi’s eyes to look like this.”
“….. I think we should talk about this a lot. I’m going to have dinner with you.”
“I have some left over. …… want some?”
“Ara, really? I’ll ask for it then!”
Mom nodded at Eri’s question, so Eri went to the kitchen and Mom sat down at the empty birthday table.
“I was really surprised, you know? I heard you were hurt.”
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry. I’m really okay. Everyone will help me.”
“When I told him about Izuru, your father started to leave, too, and he started to clean up his desk you know?”
“I see. Is that why mother came?”
“I wanted to see Izuru too, so I played rock-paper-scissors with your father and won!”
“Don’t mind, Dad. ……”
“Sorry to keep you waiting. ……”
“Thank you, Chieri chan.”
Eri prepared one for my mom too.
Mom thanked her and started to eat.
“Hnnn! This is delicious!”
“I’m glad.”
“You’re a good cook, aren’t you, Chieri chan?”
“I cook at home sometimes.”
“Fufufu, I see. If you stayed over, did you cook dinner yesterday too?”
“I cooked yesterday.”
“Ara, I see! Thank you!”
“I’ll cook tomorrow!”
“Araara! Fufufu, thank you, we’re in your care okay?”
Mom, you fit in normally. ……
“So? What did you do to them Izuru?”
“Well, in my case—“
Then Ryoka, Eri, and Kaguya, in that order, each tell their stories.
I feel like each of them are exaggerating their stories, and to be honest, I’m a little embarrassed ……
I mean, can we stop talking in front of her?
“Um,…… I think we’ve had enough of this. Aren’t you overreacting a little?”
“No, I’m not! I’m really happy!”
“Thank you for saving my life, forever and ever.”
“If you hadn’t helped me find it, I wouldn’t have been able to go home because my parents wouldn’t have been home. I don’t think you’d be able to jump and catch a cat without worrying about getting your clothes dirty…”
Ryoka, Eri, and Kaguya speak without wrapping up, so my shame is near its limit.
“Fufufu, I’m sure Izuru is everyone’s hero.”
“…. Mom, Dad is waiting for you, so you’d better get back soon.”
“You’re so quick to be evil like that, if you’re going to be like that, I have an idea you know?”
“Don’t think about it! Just go back to work and do what you have to do!”
“Hmm? Then I’ll tell you what I’ve got in mind.”
With that, Mom got up from her seat and went upstairs.
What are you doing? …… I don’t want you to stir up the pot any more……
Eventually, Mom came downstairs with a book in her arms.
“Tadaaa! It’s an album of his childhood! Who wants to see it?”
“I do!”
“me”
“I’ll definitely see it!”
“Stoppppp!!!!!”
