Uninvited Wife, With Child ch14

Amazing! They have covers over the sushi!

How do you get them?
Like this.

Ooh!
Wait, you're amazed too, Mirai-chan?

Revolving sushi no longer exists for me.
Since bad people kept playing with it.
Don't drop spoilers for the future!

No more revolving sushi~!?

No longer exists...?
This is bad...!

Are you perhaps a foreigner, Mirai-chan?

Hah

I thought as much, since your hair's pink and all.
That's your natural hair, right?
Yeah, it is.
And where is this pink country exactly?

But well, it'll be easier to deceive her if we go with that.

If this is your first revolving sushi, then that's all the more reason to help yourself.
Thank you very much.

I'll take you up on that then...

She's being really considerate.
They're all cheap plates...

You can eat the more pricey ones too.
Ah, but I love natto.
But I'm glad we made it through the week without being found out.

I was worried about what'd happen during the weekdays while I was at school, though.

I'm home! Were things okay with Mom?
Hah Hah
Well...

She hasn't come out of her room at all.
Thank goodness she's a research nut.

She'll be going to work starting next week, so I should be able to manage.
The sea urchin is delicious.

Oh, you're able to eat that now?
I've been eating the ones that come in sense, so I can just about manage now.
Leaving them aside would be a waste, after all.

Kids sure do grow when you least expect it.

I see you still eat nothing but salmon, Mom.
Salmon alone has plenty of variety.

But still, Nozomi-chan sure can eat. Good girl.
It helps that she's not a very fussy eater.

Baby food sure is a pain, huh~
Kako wouldn't eat hers at all.

Is that so?
Sorry about that...
There was a lot of trouble, such as how you didn't like the manufacturer or something.

But baby food these days is amazing. It heats up on its own when you open it without needing a microwave?
The jelly is cold too.
That's because it's not "these" days.

Phew, I'm stuffed. It's good to have Japanese sushi after so long.
Thank you for the food.

This toy shop is still open, I see.

Toy Shop Choppy

So it is. I rarely go past it myself.

She used to take me here after going to the dentist or running some boring errands with her.
Amazing...

Are these ruins of some sort?
I guess since it's nostalgic even for me, it would feel that way from Mirai's perspective.

It's still the same inside too.

They still sell these things.
The package is a lot cooler now, though.
It's like we've gone back to the past.

You can buy it if you want.
Fufu<3
I'm already in high school.

Let me know if there's anything you want too, Mirai-chan.
...

She bought more stuff for you than she did for Nozomi, Mirai.
Even though you held back with the sushi...
I just can't win against Pekemon.

It's fine. I'm glad you enjoy it.
Stepmother...

I guess this is what it feels like to want to buy presents for your daughter-in-law and granddaughter.

Granddaughter...?

I thought things would get hectic with Mom coming here, but...

Huh? Could this be...
Why'd she leave that out in the open!?

It looks just like... the future device I've been researching...
You moron.
I'm sorry. I forgot.

Ah, hold on. I'm getting a call from the main office.
Yes?
We should destroy it before she finds us out.
Right after I finally got my hands on one!?

Yes, this is Tachibana. Eh...? Ah, yes. It's so sudden, though.
Understood...

They said there's some major trouble at the main office and I need to get back by tomorrow...
I'd better get ready to leave right away...
Nice timing, trouble!!

Okay, I'm off.
I'm sorry I couldn't stay for long.

But
I'm relieved knowing you're here, Mirai-chan.

Should we see you to the airport?
It's fine. You two can stay here.

I'll have to tell your father all about Mirai-chan and Nozomi-chan when I get there.
I'm so excited<3
That would be a huge pain.

Bye-bye, Nozomi-chan.
You'll probably be bigger the next time I see you.

It's gonna take that long?
Not really, but children grow up fast before you know it.

You should watch over her so you don't miss it.

Not that I'm one to talk, mind you.
Ah, I'll be waiting for some photos of Nozomi-chan too, okay? Send me some every day.
Every day.

It feels like it'll be a shame if she grows bigger.
Yeah yeah.

It's like, even though I want her to grow, this girl from back then will cease to be.
I know that feeling~

But it's also nice when children go out of your reach and live freely.

It's something like a sense of accomplishment?
Like, woo, I did it, or something?

And there she goes.
Yeah.
I'm glad I got to meet her.

...Me too.

I'd better send her a photo of Nozomi right away.
Look over here~
That's way too soon. You're gonna make her do a U-turn from the airport and come back here.

For now, I'm glad they got through it without Mom finding out!!
