Uninvited Wife ch21

Looking forward to going to school, huh?
Okay, all done~

Kya~ So cute<3
All set and ready to go.

Are you seriously going dressed like that?

You're definitely gonna get yelled at.

Whose uniform... is that?

Wow~ It's so lively.

Looks fun~
Nozomi should enjoy the ring toss.
But still, I thought it'd be less crowded than this.

Sakiko told me it'd be crowded since there's not only the students' families but also lots of graduates coming too.
I see.
That does make me a little hesitant.

Nozomi's getting unnerved too.
Let's head straight to wear Kako-san is.

This must be Kako-san's class.

Café

Welcome~
Feel free to take any available seats~

You got here sooner than I expected.
Here's the menu. Eat plenty, okay?

No maid uniforms, huh? I thought everyone wore them like in old manga series.
I don't think there's that many maid cafés in real life... It is a staple of school festival arcs, admittedly.

Who's your friend, Kako~?
Kya~<3

A baby! How cute~<3
Hello there~
Is she a relative's kid?
No, she's...

So cute~ Mind if I hold her?
Kya<3 Kya<3
Go ahead.
Kya~ So cute~
Amazing.

I know right?
Hmph

smug

Why do you look so happy, Kako?
That's just how she is.

I'll have a waffle.
I'll go with hotcakes.
Please and thank you.
Can I also get an extra plate for Nozomi to eat off of?

Ah, you're here~
Welcome<3
Sakiko!

Wah~ It feels refreshing to see you at school.
I'm gonna give you plenty of service, Michi~

I'm not doing that.

It's so crispy on the outside. You wouldn't think this was something from a student-run café.
Her parents run a pattissiere.

Kako, why don't you go around with them since they're here and all.
My shift isn't over yet.
We're pretty much empty anyway. I'll call if it gets busy.

I'm gonna stay with Sakiko a little longer.
Take care.

If things get bad, I'll help out.
Fufu
Oh, so cool!
Think she'll be of any use?

Now then, where should we go?
Any classes you're curious about, Kako-san?

We've had our hands so full with our own preparations that I have no idea what the other classes are doing.
My word.

In that case, I saw a ball toss earlier that Nozomi might like, so how about we head there?
Sounds good.

At times like these, places that Nozomi will find fun take priority.
If Nozomi's having fun, that makes us happy too.
Uuh??

Here it is! Let's do it~
It's just throwing balls, so even Nozomi should be able to do it.

Ey
Wow! She got the 2nd prize!
Congratulations.
How about you girls give it a try too?

Looks like I'll have to aim for the 1st prize.
By all means, please go for it.

They won't even go into the cups...! They just hit the back and bounce off.

Ball Toss
1st prize Red - 2nd prize Blue - 3rd prize Pink - 4th prize White

Hmph

I guess since I'm an adult, I end up putting too much strength into it?
Hmm~
She sure hates to lose, huh?
Wanna give it another try?
Try as many times as you'd like~

Now it's falling short!
What is it, Nozomi? You want another go?

1st prize! Nice one, little miss~
Aye~
Amazing, Nozomi~

One more go!!
Kako-san, you're getting a little too into it.

You've got some amazing reflexes there, Nozomi.
You won a cute prize too. Good for you~

Ah! It's a maze.
Let's have a showdown with this next.
Aye~
Go on ahead and I'll catch up to you.
I'll watch over Nozomi.
Go on in~

Reception

This is really well-made.
Hoe~

Exit

Huh??
I'm at the goal already...

You're at the goal before me!
She's also as smart as you are, Kako-san.
Brains and brawn.

Let's do the ball scoop next! Surely I won't lose at that.
Kako-san...

Sorry, hold on a sec.
Ah, yeah.
Yeah, okay. I'll be right there.

Sorry. The café's getting busy so I need to go help.
Please do your best. We'll be playing around this area.

I know it can't be helped, but it does feel pretty lonely.

I'm home~
Hah~ That was exhausting.

Welcome back. You worked really hard today.
Same to you, Mirai. Thanks for coming.

Huh? Where's Michi?
She's having a sleepover at Sakiko-san's place.
Sure is quiet here.

Nozomi's fast asleep too.
She had a lot of fun.
I was wondering why it was so quiet!

Did you have fun, Mirai? You've always wanted to go to school, right?
Yes, it was lots of fun...

Something wrong?
It was fun, but I did feel kinda lonely.

I wanted to have a school life together with you, Kako-san,
but I guess that's not happening.

Ah, that's right.
You didn't give me one at school, so...

Yeah, yeah.
Yay~<3

Ah.

Oh right, are you hungry?
What was I just about to do!?!?!?

Cleanup was exhausting, so I am feeling a little hungry.
Glad to hear it~

In that case, how about we have ourselves a festival right now?
Tada~
I've got a takoyaki machine and a shaved ice machine.
I ordered them from the future ASAP.

Sounds good. Let's have our own private school festival.
Sure.

How about you try on my spare school uniform while you're at it?
Ehe.
Gladly! Well, I did try it on this morning, though.
!?

So that's what this morning was about...
