Whoosh! A flurry of confetti burst forth in Alain's small home in reality, with rainbow-colored streamers spreading all around the young man and the newly arrived girl.
"Hee hee~ We have a new companion!" The cap-wearing girl, holding confetti as always, spoke up in celebration. Beside her, the long-haired girl was also clapping for the new member.
"Welcome!"
"Thank you!"
Sleepy Mita, dressed in her nightgown, looked particularly moved, clasping her hands as she watched the happy gathering.
Her gaze shifted, her eyes flashing as she stared at Alain.
"Player, thank you! For giving me such a precious memory!"
"New big sister, don't get happy too soon!"
Miluo, her small slippers pattering, brought a cake from the low table in the living room.
"A new big sister has arrived, so we have to celebrate properly! This is just the beginning of the fun!!!"
'It really is,' Alain mused, watching the scene before him. The girls' happy laughter was the very goal he had been striving for all this time.
"'Alright, alright, that's enough sentimental stuff. Everyone, it's time to eat~'"
Misha set out five sets of tableware, and one exquisite dish after another was brought out from the kitchen by the Mitas.
The warm yellow twilight from outside the window reflected on the tableware, casting crooked shadows on the table.
Soon, everyone was seated. Conversation at the dinner table spread along with the aroma of the dishes.
"'Sigh... Why can't I wear a bra!' Miluo sighed softly, touching her own 'little steamed buns'."
Alain, who was eating, nearly choked.
"'That's not right. Last time we went to the mall, didn't I buy—'"
"'No! Not at all! That's not a bra!' The girl pulled aside a corner of her shoulder strap, revealing a wide cotton band on her fair skin."
"'I want to wear a grown-up bra, just like Big Sister Millie and Big Sister Misha! This... is a training bra at best!' Miluo then pointed indignantly at her tableware."
"'And, Sir Knight, I've been wanting to complain for a long time. Why is my tableware a children's set!'"
Miluo's tableware was the smallest set among them. It also had a cute little bunny print.
Millie, at the side, picked up the thread of conversation, 'Being a grown-up isn't all it's cracked up to be.'
Millie looked down at her own ample peaks, 'When you don't wear a bra, your shoulders get really sore... When you do, it can feel constricting sometimes. You can't win.'
"'Eh? Really? I didn't know it was so much trouble...'"
The girl took her at her word, couldn't help but muse that being small had its advantages.
The next second, the cap-wearing girl added, 'And you have to endure Alain's ravenous gaze all the time. It's so uncomfortable. It feels like he's going to pounce at any second...'
"'I'm about to pounce right now.' Alain made a menacing gesture, startling the cap-wearing girl."
"'Ravenous? Pounce?!' Miluo was shocked. The envy in her eyes was so intense it was almost tangible."
"'I... I really want to be treated like a grown-up too! If I become a grown-up, can I receive Alain's ravenous attention?!'"
Her fervent gaze, which looked like it would be hard to appease, fell upon Alain.
"'Sir Knight, can you make me a grown-up?'"
He clearly didn't know how to answer. Denying it would hurt Miluo's feelings, and agreeing would invite teasing from Misha.
So, he chose to ignore it, picking up his sauce dish.
"'Honey, the sauce!'"
---
'Saved.' After the meal, Alain rubbed his forehead and sighed.
Millie and Miluo got along very well, as both were very cheerful. As a result... the dinner table became their playground for jokes. You could always hear their happy laughter during meals.
Misha and Sleepy Mita, on the other hand, were the other extreme. They didn't like to talk much during meals.
"'Honey, I'm heading out,' Misha said, and walked out the door."
"'Okay,' Alain replied casually. 'Be back soon.'"
Meanwhile, Sleepy Mita, who was yawning at the side, slowly walked up to him. Her somewhat drowsy eyes looked directly at him.
"'Alain, are you troubled?'"
"'Trou...bled?'"
Alain was confused. Was she referring to the awkwardness from their questions during dinner?
"'No, it was just a little awkward.'"
Overall, Alain still found that girl very cute. Both her affection for him and everything else.
The girls' happy laughter now was the fruit of all his past efforts.
"'I see... I understand.'"
"'...What do you understand? Never mind.'"
Alain glanced at the clock and saw the time was just right to take Sleepy Mita out to get used to reality. In other words, to have some fun.
"'Want to go on a date?'"
The girl's expression faltered for a moment, then she broke into a smile. "Okay!"
Once the girl had changed her clothes and put on her makeup, Alain went out with her.
They chatted and laughed along the way. Sleepy Mita's interest was clearly focused on Alain; she didn't seem to be paying much attention to the real world around her.
Write a message for someone important to you! Purchase stationery and exchange letters on the spot to get a 10% discount...
As they passed a shop, the advertisement surprisingly caught Sleepy Mita's attention.
Looking at the Japanese restaurant next to the shop, Alain was just about to take her to get something to eat when he saw Misha carrying lots of bags.
"'Misha?' Alain walked over with Sleepy Mita, wanting to help."
When Misha saw the two of them, she understood immediately.
The thoughtful girl waved away Alain's helping hand, 'It's fine, just enjoy your date. Isn't this also part of making everyone happy?'
She looked towards the street leading back to their new home and waved to Alain.
"'See you back home!'"
The next morning, four sets of tableware were already laid out on the dinner table. The only light from the overcast sky left the room a bit dim.
Alain watched Sleepy Mita eating quietly across from him, feeling a little relieved. Before long, he heard the cap-wearing girl's cheerful racket.
"'Hey, bestie.'"
"'Hm? What's up?' Misha skillfully used her chopsticks to place a piece of food on Alain's plate."
"'Are you and Alain planning on having a baby?'"
"'Huh? How did you know?!' Misha said in surprise."
Alain also looked at Millie in confusion. He saw the cap-wearing girl's trembling fingertip pointing at her own tableware.
"'I can't believe I found the children's tableware... And! You guys really have a plan to have a baby?!!' Millie stared at the long-haired girl, her eyes wide."
Only then did Alain realize that Millie's tableware was quite small, a children's set with a little bunny print.
"'Eh?! Were you just tricking me into telling you? Millie, you've gotten sneaky!' Misha crossed her arms to form an 'X' as a thumbs-down."
"'Pfft~ Bestie, hurry up and have one, I'm waiting for the one-month celebration party!'"
"'Alain! Alain...'"
A blushing Misha looked to him for help. What could Alain do? He picked up the sauce dish.
"'Honey, the sauce!'"
