40 39 A little girl came to our house (approved by parents)





 I drove the car with Amana in it for about 40 minutes and arrived safely at the apartment I was renting without any problems such as car sickness.
 I thought she might be bored while driving, but I think she seemed to be having fun on the road, not to mention the moderate conversation, and maybe it was because she was so excited and curious to get in the car for the first time that she was transfixed by the rapidly changing scenery outside.

 I parked the car in the parking lot and got out first, then slowly dropped Amana off so she wouldn't get hurt.

'Is this where Onii-san lives?'
Yeah. It's not as big as that one, though.

 Compared to the apartment that this girl and Amari live in, I can't help but feel the disparity in this apartment.
 Even so, after spending seven years here, I'm glad to be here.
 That's exactly what it means to live in a city.

 For now, I head over to room 201, where I live, in order to put the bags on Amana's back.
 I stop at the front door, unlock the door and open it to let Amana in.

'Come in,'
Okay, excuse me.

 I can feel my cheeks loosen up at the cheerful greeting.
 I didn't expect a little girl like Amana-chan to come to a room that I've never invited anyone to before, other than Miya or her sister who comes here once in a while...
 I'm tidying up as much as possible, but I guess I can't help but miss the tension after all.

 The rent of the apartment I'm renting is 46,000 yen and the floor plan is about 1DK in size.
 At the end of the narrow corridor, there is a washroom and a changing room at the entrance, and it is connected to the bathroom from there.
 On the front side of the hallway is the bathroom.

 From the door next to the toilet, you can get to the dining room and kitchen which is less than 8 tatami mats in size, and next to it is a western style room over 4 tatami mats in size, and further back is a balcony which is used only for hanging laundry to dry.

''Whew!'' 

 After looking around the room once, Amana can't seem to hide her excitement.
 I mean, is it just me or does the mere presence of this girl make a room that was just a place to sleep rival the capital, not to mention live in?

 As I was thinking about this, Amana began to take a deep breath for some reason.
 

'I can smell Onii-san!
Yeah, we've taken care of the deodorant, but did it smell?
I don't mind. I don't mind your smell, Amana.
'Ugh...'

 I stifled my heart and squat down at the favor that was released with a big smile, not hiding a trace of it.
 It's because I'm soothed by his straightforward love for me.

 But you know what, Amana-chan?
 I'm sure I'm not the only one, but if you talk to a guy like that, he'll get the wrong idea.
 You're cute like Amari, so you're sure to be popular.

Onii-san?
Yeah, that's fine. You wanna put your stuff down anyway?
Yeah!

 I returned to my off-topic thoughts and put the backpack that Amana was carrying on her back in an empty space in the Western-style room. 
 Incidentally, the bed I usually use (washed) is where she's going to sleep for the past three days.
 I'm going to use the futon I had brought out for my sister who comes over occasionally.

 I don't have high hopes of sleeping with her.
 It would be nothing but the best, but I think the line should be drawn.

Then, Mana-chan, can I see the note you keep from your mother?
I'll just be a minute and... yes!
Thank you.

 When I went to pick her up, I asked her to take out a note from Amari that said she had written notes on how to take care of Amana.
 I unfolded the memo, which was folded into a small clear file, and looked through the contents.
 It was written in quite a bit of detail, as is typical for Tenashi, but to summarize the main points....

 I don't have allergies and I don't dislike tomatoes, but I'm not very good at them.
 2) I can take a bath by myself.
 I go to bed from 9:00 pm to 10:00 pm and wake up around 6:00 am.
 (4) If possible, please do my laundry.
 (5) We make sure that they have their insurance card and doctor's card with them in case they get sick.
 (5) I make sure they have their insurance card and doctor's card with them in case they get sick. 

 Something like this.
 
 As for the laundry, I've washed my sister's that stayed over, so I don't mind.

 There's no problem with meals either........except that I'm the one who has them.
 It's because unlike Amari, I don't cook for myself very often, so while it's not inedible, it's not remarkably good.
 I don't know if it's really okay to serve Amana a dish of such quality, but....
 Yes, let's not be stubborn and just eat out.

 After concluding the action I should take from the contents of the memo, I look at the clock.
 The time is now past 8:30 a.m. It's still too early in the morning to do anything.

 
 So, first of all, I'll ask Amana what she wants to do so I don't get bored until lunch.

'Amana-chan. Do you have anything you want to do?
'What? What can I do?
Yeah. I'll go with you on anything.
'Hmmm...'

 She was going to be reserved or mature with me, but I didn't want to be that boring when we were spending so much time together.
 Amana-chan, who seemed motivated by my assurances that I would go along with her playfulness to the extent possible, crossed her arms and began to contemplate while swaying her upper body from side to side.
 

 Perhaps it was decided while they were relaxed like that, Amana opened her eyes and suggested which game to play.

''──I want to play family games!
Oh, you're playing house!

 Her cheeks loosened at the girlish suggestion she raised with a smile.

'Then what role would you like to play, Amana?'
Mommy wants to do it!

 Eh, is that a roundabout way of proposing to me?
 If I had a wife like Amana-chan, I'd be able to get over even the most painful of things.

 Even if it's just for fun, there's no reason to refuse if you can be a married couple even if it's just for fun.

 I ask further, keeping my expression in a smile, even as I hallucinate a scene that is in some ways bliss.

'What part do you want me to play?'
Amana's Aka!

 No way BABY.
 
 I said I'd go out with him all kinds of things, but I didn't expect that.

 I think that choice is a bit too disastrous for an adult opponent, but the person in question is giving me a glowing look of expectation.
 However, as I was stuck for words, my reaction may not have been positive, and Amana-chan made an apologetic expression on her face.

"Onii-san, did you not want to play Amana-chan's baby girl?
I will be happy to oblige.

 With that question, the scales in my mind's balance easily shifted to 'becoming Amana's Aka-chan.

 What did I have to wonder about?
 It would be nothing but heaven for Amana-chan to become a mother.

'Yes me...?'
I mean, I don't mind it.
Really? Thanks!

 When I briefly answer Amana's question, which she doesn't understand the meaning of the order, she seems to understand that I agree with her and she is really happy to see me.

 You're going to be my mommy now, isn't that the best you can do?

 With that thought in mind, I made up my mind to do my best to ogle....
