Uninvited Wife, With Child ch15

Wah~ It's Michi-chan! Welcome!
Come on~
Come inside.

What's wrong?

This house is amazing.

This could be one of Japan's important cultural assets...!
It's just old.

While Kako's mama is back home, what's Michi doing in the meantime...?

Pardon the intrusion...
Mom's gone shopping for a bit, so make yourself at home.

The inside is new?
We got it renovated last year.

So there's no balanced flue!?

Balance~

We didn't have one to begin with!
I don't think you see those even in old houses all that much...

What a shame...
You're that bummed out?
Balanced flues can only be found in homes, after all...

You really like old stuff, huh, Michi-chan?
This is my room.
Are you interested in history too?

I'm not interested in things that have already been verified.
Oh?

At first, I didn't like old stuff since it was hard to use.
I just plain hated it.

But the difficulty of its use is surprisingly what makes it refreshing.
Nice...
Hah...<3
You got hooked, huh?

Oh! In that case, I've got something good!
Gimme a sec.

I've got it.
Here you go.

What's this? Gum?
Thanks.
Yeah. Try to take some.

Ugyaaah!!
You're the first person who actually fell for that, so I'm happy!

A lot of this stuff showed up when we were getting the house ready for renovation.
Here we go.

Old toys

Amazing! Your house is like a museum, Sakiko.

That's good. I was about to throw them out.
You're throwing them out!?
I don't use them after all. If there's anything you want, you can take them home with you~

I'll take the whole box... Nozomi's sure to love it!
Kako's gonna be upset if you bring home that much.

How do you use this?
Oh, this thing?

I'm home~
Welcome.
I'm her mother<3
Sorry for intruding. I'm in your care today.

No need to be so formal. I'm happy. It's like I have another daughter.
Kya<3 Kya<3
Is there anything you want for dinner?
I'll put my all into it~

Is there anything with a nostalgic flavor?
That's a bit abstract.
How about something boiled?

The bath's warmed up, so feel free to take once while I make dinner.
Thank you.
Kay~

Let's get in, shall we? There's no balanced flue, though.
We're going in together?

It's a sleepover, after all!
I'm excited<3
Do you not take baths with Mirai-chan and the others?

Mirai often gets in with Kako.
They seem pretty close. I thought Kako would hate it.
Must be because Nozomi's with them.

Heh~ So you have lots of little sisters, huh, Michi-chan?

You're like a child-raising pro!
Just the skills, though.

In the end, I'm just a big sister. I don't have parental responsibilities like Mirai, so I've got it easy.
That's why I try to help her out with Nozomi whenever I can.

I am her fiancée, after all!
Fufun~
Good to see you're getting along.

Then you should let your hair down for today, Michi-chan.
You can't stretch your legs like that, right? Come over here.

It's certainly more roomy this way.
It's even bigger than the one in Kako's house.

What's the one in your house like, Michi-chan?
Cramped.

I'd like to go there next time.
Maybe in a hundred years.

Thank you for the bath.
Welcome back~ Dinner's ready.

Wah
Sakiko's mama is good at cooking!
It's like I'm at a traditional Japanese restaurant.
You sure know how to flatter someone.
Thank you~<3

Well then, let's eat.
Not yet! I've actually got something nice to add.

I thought this might add a nostalgic vibe.
How splendid!
Not the taste but the arrangement!?

It's very delicious. The flavor seeps through.
Thank goodness~ There's more where that came from so eat your fill.

If it's not a bother, I'd like to make lunch tomorrow.
Not at all! I'd love you to make some while you're here~

It's amazing how someone as young as you can cook.
What are you gonna make, Michi-chan?

Maybe something like Bonborbonte.
What's that? I can't picture it in the slightest.

This is Bonborbonte.

Phew! It actually looks good~

Do you make it at home?
I've actually been practising little by little ever since I came to Kako's place.

It's homemaker training!
Howzat
You are a fiancée, after all.

...Are you going back tomorrow?
You can stay here longer if you want.

I'd love to say, but I've gotta be there for Mirai.
There's Nozomi too.

I'm jealous of Mirai-chan~ If only you were my fiancée.
Then we could spend more time together.

Ah, but we get engaged, we'd need children, right?
How many do you want?
About five.
That's a lot!

Thank you for looking after me.
It was just for a day, but it was really fun. I'll miss you.

It's a Sunday, so why not stay for just one more night?
That's right~ Stay here longer~

I shouldn't intrude on you more than I should.
I'd better text Mirai. Huh? She sent me something.

Mirai
It looks like mother-in-law will be here for a while, so you don't need to come home, Michi x

On second thought, maybe I will stay for another night.

The fun continues!
