Uninvited Wife with Child ch16

After a long wait, the serialization resumes!

I'm awake somehow.
Wait, it's only 3am!

Guess I'll go to the bathroom.
Waking up in the middle of the night always makes me wanna go for some reason.

Don't tell me...

There they are!
Good morning.

There's no set schedule for raising a child.

Has she started waking up in the middle of the night again?
Not at all. Today's just a rare occurence.
Ah Ah

She should feel sleepy after playing for a bit.
Hmm.

Down we go.
Aren't you sleepy?

I woke up just like Nozomi, so I'll play with her too.
That makes me happy.

She's been enjoying this ball lately.
Mother-in-law bought it for her when she was here.

Aren't you sleepy?
I can watch her, so you get some sleep.

To be honest, I'll probably doze off the moment I get inside the futon.
Then do it already.

But if you're awake, Kako-san, we can be awake together~
That doesn't make any sense!
But if you're okay with it, Mirai, I guess it's fine.

She's gotten better at walking too~

Still a little wobbly, though.
I need to preserve all of this wobbliness.

I thought looking after her would be easier once she became able to walk.
Upsy daisy
Of course, there are somethings that became easier.

But it also comes with new troubles.
She can reach this too.
Ah~

We only had to worry about the floor up until now.
Now there's even more things we need to be careful with.

She's also spent more time playing by herself.

As time passes, the fun things and troublesome things start to change.
Growth is amazing.

Maybe we'll get to drink alcohol together someday.
But you're not even old enough to drink yet, Kako-san!

Speaking of alcohol, do you drink, Mirai?
Yes, but not while I'm looking after Nozomi.

What's it taste like?
Hmm. If we're just talking straight up taste, it's pretty bitter, I guess?

I guess the enjoyment comes from savoring the scent and how it feels going down your throat?
I'm not used to drinking yet, though, so I don't know for sure.

So mature~
She's like a kid.

I wonder if I'll drink too~ Mom drank a lot, so maybe I will too~

I'm a bigshot in the future, right? Got any information on that?

All I know is that you didn't use social media or stuff like that...

There weren't even any rumors. It's like you didn't have a single friend.
That sure sounds like me.

I do send e-mails to people, but transmitting things to the general public...?
How do you even do that?

I do it myself. I use something similar to what you in this era call Instagram.
Transmitting...
What do you even transmit?

Stuff about food you've eaten or places you've been to.
It's kinda like showing people a slice of your life.

But is my life even fun enough to warrant transmitting...?
It is!
Have confidence!

I'm confident stuff about Nozomi would be fun to look at,
It does sound fun.
but I'm the type who doesn't wanna share about their kid.
That we can agree on.

But even if it's just about you, Kako-san, I'd love to see it.
Eh~?

Ah, but I might be happier if you didn't do it.

I don't other people looking at you.
You say some heavy stuff sometimes.

AGYAAAAAAAH
What's this all of a sudden!?

I think she's getting sleepy.
Ah~
Let's get her some milk and put her to sleep.
Come here~

She's sleeping well.
We should get to bed too.

If only we could sleep by drinking milk too.

It's already 5am, so maybe we should just have an early breakfast.

We can bring over the futon and have Nozomi sleep here.
Sure, let's do that.

What should we eat?

It's early morning, but I've been awake for a few hours, so I'm down for anything.
Let's go with katsudon.
Isn't that a bit too heavy? I'm down for it, though.

Eating on an empty stomach makes it even tastier.
Hah~<3

Stuffed

I made some for Michi too, but it'd probably make for a heavy breakfast.
No need to worry about her.

She's sleeping soundly.
I thought the frying sounds would wake her up, but she's fast asleep.

Now that I'm full, I'm feeling sleepy too...
Same.

Let's sleep! It's still early, after all.
Mmm~
Fwah~
It's bad for our stomachs, but that doesn't apply when you're raising a kid.

I'd feel bad moving Nozomi, so let's sleep here.

Kako-san?

Good night.
You're sleeping with her!?

She's asleep already.
She's way too good at that.

I should sleep too.
But I might not be able to due to the excitement.

Good night.

Morning. I was wondering what the clitter-clatter was all about. I guess you guys were awake.
Fwah~
Wait.

You're cheating with me on the spot!?!?
I'm about to go to sleep, so be quiet.
You're doing that now!?

Two mothers and one daughter, in the river (川) formation.

Warning
