Living Normally In An Abnormal World - Chapter 107: Trauma and Sleepover
Chapter 107: Trauma and Sleepover
“Good evening! Today was tiring!”
“Oh, today was great! You were amazing, Satokyun!”
“I’m just going to pick some flowers.”
“Good evening!”
“I’ll make sure to watch your stream today!”
Toudou Satoru.
The man who currently possesses the most popular channel in the world.
After appearing as a special guest on a live broadcast program, he is now hurrying home.
Satoru is busy today.
After a live broadcast that ended at 6 pm, he will be doing another live stream on a video site at 8 pm.
But it’s okay. He’s with his dad today, and they’re even having a sleepover at his house, a major event!
“Hey, I’m here!”
“Dad!”
The man had come to pick up Satoru.
It was a Friday, a regular weekday. Of course, Satoru had gone to school, and after a short time in the afternoon, he had lightly trampled over Mutsu. Mutsu was currently at home, pouting, and training with Kokoro.
“I’m here too,” said Agrius.
Agrius had suddenly appeared from behind the man.
It was not unusual for Agrius to stay over, but upon hearing that the man would be staying over too, he had rushed to Japan from another country.
He was eager to redo that day’s events.
“Come on, Dad, let’s go! What are you doing?”
“I just came to pick you up,” said the man.
“Time is limited, let’s go faster,” said Satoru.
“Agrius?”
Although the man had come to pick him up, Satoru pulled him by the hand, and Agrius pushed him from behind.
“Take me with you!”
“I can move faster on my own!”
Satoru’s servants then grabbed both of his arms and forced him into a helicopter, as if they were kidnapping him. This made the man want to complain.
The boys had kidnapped the man who had come to pick them up.
“He’s being kidnapped again,” the people around them said, as if it were a normal part of their daily lives.
(If they’re going to kidnap him anyway, why did I have to come pick him up?)
“Dad, your back muscles are incredible!”
“Your abs are amazing too.”
“…”
After returning to Satoru’s house, the man immediately took a bath, and there, he touched the man’s well-trained body, sticking to him like glue. Even after getting out of the bath and putting on his pajamas, he occasionally reached out and touched him.
The man, who was being touched, accepted it, thinking, “It’s probably like touching a shaved head.”
The man’s appearance remained the same as always.
This was because, after the stream, he refused to wear pajamas, as it would ruin his character.
He wanted to forget about the time he was in hospital and had to wear a hospital gown.
The two of them had planned to have a pajama party, but they looked at the man as if they wanted to say something, before smiling when he said, “I’ll change after the stream.”
“Good evening! Today, we’re having a sleepover! Agrius often stays over, but this time, Dad is here too!”
As soon as Satoru started the stream, tens of millions of people began typing comments. Satoru was sitting on the man’s lap, smiling more than usual.
Agrius was sitting next to the man, leaning against him. He looked relaxed, and his cheeks were slightly relaxed, so he seemed to be in a very good mood.
This was clearly an oversupply, and this time, the man was also flooded with grateful comments.
“Nice to meet you.”
“Staying over isn’t such a big deal, is it?”
“You can only do it with close friends.”
“That’s right. I can’t go to Dad’s house because I’m scared.”
The reason Satoru had his servants come to pick him up was simply because he was afraid of Mana.
On the day of the first kidnapping, Satoru was with his servants. And they had both been kidnapped.
Of course, Mana had chased after them with a baseball bat in her hand. The road was narrow and winding, so the car’s speed was less than 40 km/h, but she had managed to shoot back the anesthetic bullets and catch up, an action that was beyond human.
Mana had swung at the car window several times.
Satoru had been sitting next to the window. It was very bad luck, and he had been glared at with bloodshot eyes and felt an incredible killing intent directed at him. It was enough to plant a trauma in Satoru at the time.
Because of this, Satoru had not been able to go to the man’s house on his own since that day.
Even when he was told, “He’s a kind person who is sometimes strict,” the sight of that day flashed before his eyes, and he apologized, saying, “I’m sorry, Dad,” with a pale face and shaking body. The man also refrained from bringing up the topic again.
Although he had started to contact him in advance, the servants still kidnapped him.
It was self-inflicted, but no one would have thought that a woman would teach him about the fear of women.
Of course, he hadn’t explained this to the public, so there were many comments urging him to give more details.
“First kidnapping, mother chased with metal bat in front of mother, Satoru’s terrifying experience.”
The man’s overly simplified statement made everything clear.
As a supplement, the man’s Famicom was well known.
During the stream, Satoru sometimes tried to contact the man, but he was often refused with excuses like, “I have a prior engagement with my sister” or “I’m going shopping with my mother.” When he heard the cheerful voice leaking out, everyone thought that his relationship with his family was good.
“To-chan?”
“Let’s play a game, huh? So, what are we going to do?”
“Umm, yeah, sure!”
Setting that aside, Satoru had accidentally stimulated his trauma, and his cheeks gradually turned pale. Agrius pulled on his cheeks and patted his head a little too much to change his mood.
“Hehehe, today we’re playing an old dating game from Live System.”
“Oh, this one.”
“Dad, you know about this?”
“What do you mean, know about it? I’m the model for one of the characters in this game. It seems that Reina-san made it secretly, but the president found out and put it up for sale.”
“What?!’
“Well, try to guess while we’re playing. I know the content, so I won’t say much from the side.”
Satoru regained his composure through the physical contact.
The stream went smoothly afterwards, and the three of them got into bed in a row, with the man in the middle.
The man thought of Yuuna and Yozora as he watched the two of them try to use the man as a hug pillow.
The man was in the middle, after all, he was Dad.
However, Satoru was staring at Yuuto’s face curiously.
When Yuuto asked him about it, Satoru said, “Dad’s face was like that, wasn’t it?”
“Don’t forget your parents’ faces, you idiot.”
“I think it would be better if you were a little more open.”
“If I’m more open, I’ll have to say my real name, which is a hassle. It’s better to keep these things a mystery.”
“In the noble class, it’s not like that.”
“Agrius, you shouldn’t say that. Come on, we have to get up early tomorrow, so let’s go to sleep.”
Yuuto was hugged tightly by the two of them, and as he thought that this kind of thing should be done by a woman, he also patted their heads and closed his eyes.”
