Chapter 426 - 426: Shin is enrolling too! Can't beat her cuteness...
"Ah, so Kanna's a young dragon."
After Rei Ao's explanation, Kobayashi realized that Shin had made another mistake. She threw a glance at the girl, then looked over at Rei Ao.
"You said she's going to enroll in that elementary school?"
Kobayashi recalled that there indeed was such a grade school nearby. A dragon attending elementary school... She found that scene hard to imagine.
"Mom, I wanna go to school too!!!"
All of a sudden, Shin raised her hand and called out.
"Huh?"
Kobayashi was taken aback, but Rei Ao said,
"Kobayashi, I think it's great. They can attend together and be friends, keeping each other company. If money's tight for you, I can pay."
"..."
Kobayashi shrugged. "I've got enough money, really—just didn't expect that before I even get married, I'm already taking on child-rearing, ugh, so tiring."
Shin scampered over to Rei Ao's side and clung to his arm. "Mommy can marry Daddy, then Daddy and Mommy can both take care of me together~"
Her bright-eyed daydream made her own face light up with happiness. Kanna squinted and followed her lead, running over to Rei Ao's other side and holding onto his other arm.
"Michiru, marry Rei Ao-nii, take care of Kanna."
"Wha—?"
Kobayashi was dumbfounded. "Eh?"
Michiru froze up.
Rei Ao ruffled the two little heads and laughed. "I don't mind."
"It absolutely matters!"
Mortified, Michiru waved her hands about. "Th-that's not how any of this works!"
Kobayashi rubbed the back of her neck. "I think Rei Ao-kun would be fine with it, anyway."
"Huh?"
Michiru gaped at her—what was that supposed to mean?
"Ahem."
Kobayashi, now slightly embarrassed, explained, "I don't mean I'd consider it. I'm just pointing out that Rei Ao probably would."
"..."
Michiru couldn't deny it. A man who fostered dragons couldn't possibly be ordinary.
"Shin, I see you just want to do absolutely nothing and have others take care of you."
Kobayashi gently scolded her, then said, "Come on, I'll take you to get your enrollment settled. Phew, once you start school, my life'll get easier."
Without a second thought, she dragged Shin off.
At last, Michiru—somewhat flustered—asked, "Rei Ao-kun, who is this Miss Kobayashi, and what's with that tone about Shin's 'mom,' calling you 'dad'?"
"Kobayashi? You could say she's someone with rather bad luck." Rei Ao smirked, then described how he met Tohru, along with how Shin was born. He spoke of energies, faith, and souls, leaving Michiru utterly bewildered. She didn't fully get it, but understood that those two people weren't normal, and that the trio's relationship wasn't at all what she had assumed.
After learning Shin wasn't actually Rei Ao's or Kobayashi's child, Michiru—though not sure why—felt a weight lift from her mind. She showed no outward reaction, though. She asked calmly,
"What you said just now, about being willing to marry her—was that a joke?"
"How could it be a joke?"
Rei Ao looked genuinely earnest. "I absolutely meant it."
"Huh?"
Michiru opened her mouth slightly.
"But, what about you and Mai..."
Understanding what she meant, Rei Ao spoke plainly. "They're all the same. I simply want to give each of them a home. Even Kanna's included. I wouldn't mind giving her a joyful, loving home."
"Kobayashi pointed it out—indeed I'm special."
Seeing Michiru's astonished expression, Rei Ao opted to keep it simple:
[Ding! You have chosen to bestow sub-group chat privileges upon Kanna and Michiru Hyodo.]
"!!!"
In that moment, Michiru saw a glowing interface appear, and a mass of strange knowledge flooded her mind. Kanna, too, formed her mouth into a cute O-shape.
"Rei Ao-nii, you're amazing—I see Tohru!"
This World's Group Chat.
Kanna: "@Tohru, Tohru, is that you?"
Tohru: "Oh? Kanna, so you've been invited to the chat group as well."
Megumi Kato: "@Michiru Hyodo, Michiru, you've joined too—welcome."
Michiru Hyodo: "This... chat group... is everything said here really true?"
Rei Ao: "Heh, you yourself are looking after a young dragon—still have doubts?"
Michiru: "..."
It's different, though!
Kasumigaoka Utaha: "Wait, so you're raising a young dragon?"
Eriri Spencer: "Could it be something like a light-novel dragon tamer?"
Michiru Hyodo: "N-no, it's just I happened to come across her by chance..."
She still felt awkward about talking with these folks. In particular, Eriri and Utaha—she knew them as famously beautiful girl novelists from her own school.
Rei Ao: "Allow me to introduce them: Michiru is in the same class as me and Kato, and she sits right behind me. Kanna is Tohru's friend—a young dragon who came from the dragon world, whom Michiru just happened to pick up and take in. [Image]—this is Kanna."
Kanna: "I'm Kanna."
Hiratsuka Shizuka: "Hmph, that's a dragon?"
Sayuri: "How adorable—so pale and soft, cuter than Eriri was as a kid!"
Eriri: "Mom! Don't compare me to that!"
Even Eriri felt powerless. But seeing the picture of Kanna, she had to admit... "Ugh, she's so cute, I just wanna hug her!"
Kasumigaoka Utaha: "No denying it, she beats you in cuteness."
Eriri: "?"
Kawasaki Saki: "Never imagined a little dragon could be so adorable."
"Rei Ao-nii, are they talking about me?"
Kanna blinked her wide, innocent eyes.
"Sure are. They think you're cute."
"Cute...?" Kanna's eyes sparkled.
Among the dragons, she'd never been someone people liked—more of a nuisance. Being told she's adored here made her happy.
Miura Yumiko: "Wait, so once again it's a classmate of his, is it possible you, Rei Ao, also slept with Hyodo Michiru?"
Michiru Hyodo: "S-slept with...?"
Wide-eyed, Michiru turned to look at Rei Ao, the phrase sounding so weird to her ears.
