The Guy Who Messed Up Is Gradually Doing His Best

“U-umm. Morning?”

When did I fall asleep? Yesterday, if I remember correctly… After teleporting to Kaori’s family home with Mil-san, we were guided to a large room by the maid…

I heard from Kaori that it turned into a year-end party, so I thought I’d just show my face. It’s probably the usual elegant dinner party.

So, when I finally entered the large room, Kaori’s relatives were having a wild party, holding up drinks and celebrating. Some were singing acapella with their arms around each other, their faces flushed, while others chatted away without caring that their clothes were disheveled. I was surprised by the stark contrast to their usual selves…

Alcohol is something to enjoy. There seem to be too many people who are a bit too far gone, but for now, since I found her grandmother and mother-in-law, I thought I’d greet them first as I stepped into the room…

The relatives who noticed me gathered around in a swarm, and I couldn’t move… I was suddenly crushed by something soft…

Hmm, I can’t remember from there.

For now, let’s think about it after we wake up. Huh, wait, my body feels heavy, or rather, kind of soft…?

“Good morning, Taketo-kun.”

“Good morning, Taketo-sama. Taketo-sama, it’s still 5 AM, so I recommend you take it easy for a while longer.”

“Kaori, good morning… Mil-san, good… wait, Mil-san?”

It must be heavy. Kaori is clinging to my left side, and Mil-san is clinging to my right side.

Why? … I thought, and then I saw that next to Kaori, not only Shiori-san but also the relatives’ kids were sleeping in a strange position.

Just in case, I checked the right side as well, and next to Mil-san, there were also some relatives’ kids sleeping in a strange position.

“I’m sorry, Taketo-kun. It’s in this state. You must have been surprised. It seems like all my relatives really like you. Yesterday, you had a bit too much to drink and didn’t hear me when they said they were going to sleep next to you… I had to ask Mil-san for help. If I let these kids sleep next to Taketo-kun, they will definitely do something… I’m sorry, Mil-san.”

Kaori shook her head apologetically. I see, she was protecting me from the other kids (the relatives’ kids).

“No, it’s my fault for hugging Taketo-sama too tightly in an attempt to protect him. Since they are relatives of Madam Kaori, I couldn’t use my psychic powers… I apologize.”

Mil-san said to me… Ah! Hearing that from Mil-san made me vividly remember.

The relatives’ kids came rushing over here. By the time I noticed, it was too late to escape, and they were closing in from all directions. I was being tightly hugged by Mil-san. Kaori’s relatives were quite intimidating. That’s right. Mil-san was trying to protect me…

Unfortunately (or perhaps fortunately), my face ended up buried in Mil-san’s large chest… I blacked out. I probably lost consciousness there.

“Mil-san is not at fault. Thank you as always.”

“…”

Mil-san didn’t say anything and just pinched my body a little, but her ears were slightly red, so she was probably embarrassed. She won’t say it, though.

“Is this spacious room a guest room…”

Kaori and Mil-san are clinging to me and not moving. Actually, it seemed like neither of them was planning to wake up yet, so I decided to ask a question that had been on my mind.

Actually, this is the first time I’ve stayed at Kaori’s family home, and I plan to stay there today (the 31st) and tomorrow (New Year’s Day).

“This room here…”

It seems to be the room for Kaori and me (however, in cases like this, when a drunken relative goes wild, Mil-san also stays in the same room).

It seems that her grandmother prepared a slightly larger room for us so that we could stay whenever we wanted.

Moreover, the room Kaori used to stay in is no longer there. Kaori said she didn’t need it since she had no intention of coming back, but she still doesn’t know that the room has been converted into our child’s (girl’s) room.

After a while, Kaori’s younger sister, Shiori, and the others woke up and politely apologized, saying, “Oops, we messed up. I’m sorry for bothering you, Taketo-kun. Sorry, big sister,” before leaving the room.

“I’m sorry I couldn’t greet you yesterday.”

“Son-in-law, you don’t need to worry too much. This is your home as well. Please feel free to treat it as your own and relax.”

At breakfast, everyone gathered and had a meal together. It seems that some relatives stayed over too. However, we actually gathered for the mochi-pounding event, but that night (the 30th), knowing that I would appear on TV, we spontaneously ended up having a year-end party.

This morning, I was so quiet like a borrowed cat that I almost laughed.

“Yes, yes, grandson-in-law…”

As I was quietly having breakfast, grandmother suddenly brought it up. It was a request for a job (an image song).

I can’t write lyrics or compose music, so I told everyone that in the MAIN chat, and I got four thumbs-up emojis in response.

It seems like they’re going to use the best song made by the four of them, as usual.

Oh, right, the logo design is also finished. Ichinomiya-senpai worked quickly. I think she pushed herself to work even during the company (Ichinomiya-senpai’s family business) break. I need to properly thank her next time…

The shadow extends from the silhouette of a man, and the logo design features the words “Armed Girls” in a cool-looking font above the shadow.

There were various things to consider, but we decided by majority vote.

If the official page we are working on simultaneously is completed, it seems we will be able to sell merchandise as well.

To be honest, I was a bit anxious about how it would turn out since I started it blindly, but after the break, I started interacting with everyone on MAIN, and it’s gradually taking shape, so now I’m just looking forward to it.

Oh, there are also product orders, but since Akinai-san said she would take care of that, I’m relying on her.

Oh, I need to tell Manager Aikawa too, or I’ll get scolded again.
