Chapter 82.2. Puppies
-Miu’s Mom POV-
“That’s right, finger promise.”
“Well, I’ll eat a mouth full of cream puffs if I lied!”
“Hey! You’ll break it right away!
“Kyaa!”
Cunning Mii-chan gleefully giggles, hands her puppy over to my husband, and rolls on the floor. It’s Mii-chan’s well-trained stunt. She’s as fast as a tire. Mou, Mii-chan.
The puppies were so excited to be played with that they would wag their tails when my husband let them go. They’re still puppies. I wonder what breed they are?
“Oh, by the way, what are their names?”
“Well…. Geri and Freki!”
Mii-chan tells me as the puppies playfully lean on her.
I thought “Geri” was a very subtle name, but “Freki” was not, and my husband started laughing. He seemed to have noticed something. What is it?
“The old man at the oden shop had a great sense of humor, didn’t he? I see, so the dogs at the oden shop are Geri and Freki. Yes, indeed they are.”
“What do you mean, dear?”
“No, it’s just a play on words. No, it’s just a play on words. I’ll tell you about Odin later.”
“I’m sure you will. Well then, these puppies have to be properly registered and given their rabies shots.”
You have to register them as pets. There’s a lot to do to get a puppy.
“Well, let’s eat. But what should we do with the puppies?”
The puppies are still playing with Mii-chan. Mii-chan, who had been rolling around, get caught, and her puppies were leaning against her. It hurts to leave those lovely puppies behind.
I was lost when I saw Geri and Freki, who had already become a part of our family. I wonder if I can leave them behind.
Mirei had a dog in her childhood. She cherished it, but it had already died. When I thought about those days, I remember that I spoiled it a lot, and it was so lonely that it would always cling to someone’s side.
What about these puppies? One of them seems to miss Mii-chan and is playing with her, rubbing its face against hers. And the other is tangled up with my legs and makes a whining noise. I guess they are hungry. I wonder which one is Geri and which one is Freki.
“Yes. Let’s stop eating out and get something delivered.”
“Yay! I want charamen!”
It seems that he wants to say char siu men. I’m healed by Mii-chan because she’s adorable. It’s also pretty when it’s out.
“Well then, I think I’ll have tentsudon.”
“I think I’ll have the fried rice.”
I check the phone number for the old-fashioned ramen shop delivery service. It’s a restaurant that continues to deliver. I’ve been ordering from them since I moved here.
I call and order our food it. The owner’s voice said, “Aiyo,” and I hung up the phone.
I felt sad thinking this would be the last time I would have this delivery service. When we first got married and moved into this house, we ordered the same delivery service and laughed about how we would do our best as a couple from now on. Tomorrow will be the last time for this house, which holds so many memories.
Mii-chan must have noticed my condition. With a slightly anxious look, she slipped away from the puppies and tugged at my hem.
“Mama, are you lonely? Is it because of me?”
“No, it’s not your fault, Mii-chan. Mii-chan, your power is a wonderful gift from God that allows you to help others.”
“That’s right, Mii-chan. It’s never your fault. Us, we are proud of Mii-chan. So you don’t have to worry about that.”
My husband also gently pats Miu’s head. Miu’s power is a gift from heaven. We would never be willing to do anything about it. It is not Miu’s fault that this situation has come about.
It is the fault of those who target recovery wizards. Do not make the mistake of blaming Miu. Even if it is Miu’s fault, we are a family. We will support each other and live together.
“……I will be strong and protect everyone! I’ll make hundreds of trillions of yen, and I’ll make lots of friends!”
Miu exhales and puffed her chest out as she spoke of her childish dreams. I’m so happy to hear her say that.
“Well, well, your dream is very big. Well then, Papa will protect Mii-chan.”
“Mama will, too, Mi-chan.”
“Papa, mama!”
Sweet Mii-chan jumps into our arms and hugs us. She will always be a pampered child.
The sense of loneliness that was in the air just a moment ago vanished. I’m sure we can handle any situation. We’ll make it. I have such a wonderful husband and daughter. I hope our next child will grow up to be gentle.
The day after tomorrow, we will move into the Takano house. But we will be fine, Mirei thought with a smile.
