Chapter 6 – Starting as Parent and Child

I stared at her jade-colored eyes, and wordlessly reprimanded her actions.

“You probably don’t understand your own feelings right now.” (Keisuke)

“……….I’m not a child!” (Angelica)

“But to , you are. Grudge towards those who pushed the status of a sacred shrine maiden to you, the curiosity towards n in general, the admiration towards the hero figure, a wish for paternal love, and pity. These emotions mixed up chaotically, and were mistaken as love.” (Keisuke)

“……….th-that’s not true.” (Angelica)

“But you faltered as soon as I pointed it out.” (Keisuke)

Angelica casted her eyes down while biting her lower lip. There was no trace of the ‘little devil’ expression from a while ago. She continued to look down while slightly trembling. Before long, clear drops of water stread down her cheeks toward her chin.

I wondered if she was hurt or if she felt sothing in my words.

But I didn’t know. I couldn’t tell. I didn’t know what she would think at such a ti. That much, I didn’t know.

“You’re still sixteen….. You should explore the various possibilities ahead of you.” (Keisuke)

To Angelica, who was shaking her head with both hands covering her face, I spoke as gently as possible.

“Let’s wait until you’ve grown up. If you still hold that feeling towards , I’ll consider it again. Right now it is still too early to decide.” (Keisuke)

“Age doesn’t matter…..” (Angelica)

Angelica murmured in a tearful voice that suited her age.

“Look at the various things in this world, et a variety of people, and think about it again. Perhaps, you will even et and fall in love with soone around your age.” (Keisuke)

“Does this an, that I am being rejected?” (Angelica)

“That’s not the case. I simply don’t want to take advantage of the confusion in your heart.” (Keisuke)

Though the biggest reason was that I couldn’t think about other won besides Elsa.

I had the wisdom to not say it outright.

Because I’m an uncle.

Because I’m a dirty adult.

Unlike you.

“Do you hear ? Anyway, I don’t know how to send you back to that world so I don’t mind if you want to live here with . For the ti being, why don’t we start as parent and child? Just think of it as a trial run, for you and for .” (Keisuke)

“Trial…..?” (Angelica)

“The relationship between a father and daughter may turn out to be unexpectedly good, and you won’t demand any further. It’s not going to be a joke if we start a relationship between a man and a woman but later you realize it’s just a filial love towards a father figure. For a girl who’s going out with an older man, it seems such cases happen a lot.” (Keisuke)

“I’m different!!” (Angelica)

She was acting like a pubescent girl. The feeling to protect her sprung up inside . It seed like a lie; I was conscious of her as a woman a while ago.

That’s right….! Although only for a while, I was looking at her as a woman. An undisputed fact. Shit, that’s a cri.

Hiding it or being honest, which one is the right answer? If I keep silent, it’s the sa as declaring that she has no charm as a woman. But if I’m being honest, it’s going to turn bad if I don’t follow through completely.

I put my hand on her shoulder and then spoke while pretending to be casual.

“Umm….. Even I was fond of such a cute girl, so I felt happy about it. To be honest, I thought my heart would stop.” (Keisuke)

The sacred shrine maiden raised her face imdiately.

“Re-really…..!?” (Angelica)

“I would have fallen long ago if I was a teenager.” (Keisuke)

“You may fall for even if you aren’t teenager anymore.” (Angelica)

“That’s not right.” (Keisuke)

“Errr…..” (Angelica)

“No!” (Keisuke)

I held down Angelica’s forehead which was approaching . I felt relieved because the atmosphere gradually loosened.

“From now on, I’m your guardian, so listen to what I say.” (Keisuke)

“I will make you want to make your wife before long…..” (Angelica)

“I got it. I got it already. So, let’s have a nice dinner and call it a day, because I’m really tired.” (Keisuke)

“No way. I want to stay up late here, in this other world.” (Angelica)

“You will not grow taller.” (Keisuke)

“……….” (Angelica)

She really was behaving like a child.

“Okay, let’s make dinner. I will make fried dumplings (gyoza). It’s delicious, though it will make your mouth sll a bit.” (Keisuke)

“Is this an uncle-like dish?” (Angelica)

“Well, I guess so.” (Keisuke)

I opened the refrigerator and took the frozen dumplings out. I’ll make a at and vegetable stir-fry side dish as well. Together with miso soup and rice, it would be enough to make your belly swollen.

I served Japanese-style food to soone from another world for a good reason. It was to see whether or not the flavors of this country would fit her taste. If her expression shows rejection, I will make Western-style food from tomorrow on.

(Thinking about it carefully, the cost of als will be that for two people from now on…..)

I wondered if we could really eat well with my earnings, and suddenly chickened out.

I thought about looking for a proper job soon. I need to feed a girl in her growth period well, so I couldn’t continue to live a poverty-stricken life with the pretext of punishing myself.

Making use of the hero’s specs, I could find a decent job if I properly look for it. Sothing like a fighter or a stuntman. I don’t want to attract unnecessary attention, but I couldn’t care less anymore.

I dropped my shoulders and started to make dinner.

“But Hero-sama, earlier, you were seriously worrying about .” (Angelica)

“Of course.” (Keisuke)

“That kind of thing is unfair….. That makes like Hero-sama even more.” (Angelica)

“Why!?” (Keisuke)

“So the dense Hero-sama also exists.” (Angelica)

“Was there two of here?” (Keisuke)

There was no trace of the sadness from before, and she was laughing cheerfully.

A girl with a good personality who doesn’t let her emotions drag her down after a heavy story.

She’s certainly not a bad girl.

So I want her to be happy.

She should be together with a good young man.

Soone other than .

“Such a nice sll, is that garlic?” (Angelica)

Angelica, who was sniffing around, was so adorable, just like a cat.

(That’s right. She’s a cat in human shape. I will not make any mistake if I think like that.)

“I’m happy to have a father that’s good at cooking.” (Angelica)

“If you think of as your father, I will make you help out with the housework from tomorrow on.” (Keisuke)

Angelica who finished her dinner, licked the plate clean. It seed I was worried for nothing.

Japan has more complex seasoning compared to that world, but it doesn’t seem to be a problem. She has good taste in food.

It was indeed delicious. Eating dinner while talking to soone for the first ti in a while, has a different taste.

Both her appearance and her temperant were the opposite of Elsa’s. I wondered if I would be able to beco a good father for her.

“Father, let’s make a child while we’re at it.” (Angelica)

“Keep silent and go to sleep!” (Keisuke)

I have no choice but to do it.
