Children become friends quickly.
Before they knew it, Hime and Shinyo had become good friends.
(Neither of them are good at getting along with others...)
There was not a single sociable person here, including me, of course.
Well, Hime and Shinyo are just kids, so I guess I'm the one who's in the worst position, but let's leave that aside.
I put my own concerns aside and thought about the two of them.
Hime is not a very friendly person, and Shinyo is also the type of girl who is selective about who she meets. She is an active and curious girl, but it seems that she only gets along with people she trusts.
That's why it was surprising that the two of them got along so well.
When we ran into each other I was a bit nervous, wondering what to do, but...if it feels like this, it should be fine for the two of them to be together.
At that time, I was relieved by that fact.
"Yo-chan, I want some sweets."
It seems he has already forgotten what he was lecturing me about just now.
As I sit upright, Shinyo comes towards me and asks for some sweets.
She's so honest about her emotions. She gets angry, laughs, gets hungry...that's what makes her so childlike and adorable. Shinyo can be a bit of a pain, but I think her honesty is one of her best qualities. Having seen her sister's jealous and scary sides, I found Shinyo adorable.
"Okay. Let's have some as a snack."
Luckily, my sister bought a lot of sweets and gave them to Shinyo-chan. She also had juice, so I'm glad she splurged today. After all, she might have felt bad about leaving her at such short notice. Coincidentally, Hime was also there today, so I'm glad there were plenty of sweets and juice.
"Oh, by the way, I also have a gift to bring. Mei-san baked some cookies for me, so I brought them."
Wow, there are even more sweets now!
What's more, homemade cookies are a delight. They have a different flavor to store-bought sweets, so I'm really looking forward to eating them.
"Who's Me-san?"
"She's my maid. She's a good cook."
"A maid?! Koharu wants to see one too."
"I'll introduce you. He'll come and pick you up on his way back, so I think you'll be able to meet him then."
"Yay♪"
As I watched the two children talking innocently, I began preparing the snacks.
As for the location... well, this room will be fine. It's a little small for three people, but I think it'll be hot in the living room since the air conditioner isn't working. I'll have to turn it on now and wait for the air conditioner to start working, and I don't want to have to deal with my mother nagging me, saying, "Your electricity bill will go up."
So I took out a folding coffee table and set it up. I usually have a desk to study on, so I don't use it often, but it was good to have it. I lined up some snacks on the desk.
"I'll get you some juice."
After calling out to the two of them, I headed to the refrigerator in the kitchen on the first floor. I bought some dark and clear carbonated juice, some tea to wash it down, and cups for the three of us... I chose disposable plastic ones so they would be safe even if something spilled. It would be dangerous to carry them in my arms, so I put them in a bag before heading back upstairs.
I entered the room and found Mouhime and Shinyo sitting there, opening a bag of sweets.
"Yo-chan, hurry up."
"Yohei-kun, this way."
The two of them beckoned to me, so I sat down as they urged me to.
I was glad I had vacuumed the floor lightly, but it was only for a moment.
"Well then, Koharu, come this way!"
"Yes. I'll be over here."
...I wonder what the two of them were talking about while I was away.
As if by mutual agreement, they both stood up at the same time... and then, out of nowhere, sat on my lap.
Koharu-chan on my right knee.
Hime on the left knee.
Two lolis are on my lap.
(...Loli in both hands)
No, this is not the time to be thinking about that.
For now, it goes without saying that I don't dislike this situation.
