The Guy Who Messed Up Is Gradually Doing His Best - Chapter 102

What should I do? I’m at Kaori’s family home, but as a man, there’s nothing for me to do. Actually, I’m not allowed to do anything.

It’s not like they’re aggressively coming on to me like when I was drunk, but they’re glancing at my face, being considerate… No, they’re definitely being considerate. This is a bit uncomfortable. Well, but I guess this is normal.

Come to think of it, the entertainment industry people and the related staff maintained an appropriate distance, so it wasn’t uncomfortable.

I quietly returned to my room, secretly teleported back home to get my handheld game console, and played an online game with Akane-san and Mil-san. However, Akane-san, who has been busy with various things since it’s the end of the year, left after about 30 minutes of conversation, saying, “See you tomorrow.” It’s been like this lately.

So, if we complete a few subjugation quests together, we might get lucky and obtain some super-rare equipment. Unlike in reality, Mil-san is in high spirits in the game. After witnessing Mil-san’s avatar jumping up and down in joy, we decided to stop playing.

Oh, right, when I went back to get my handheld game console, there was a bit of commotion around my house…

There were a lot of girls. While there weren’t any who threw things or rang the doorbell, many were putting fan letters in the mailbox or taking selfies with my house in the background.

Mil-san said it was fine to leave it alone, so I didn’t do anything, but now there’s this commotion at this timing. The only thing I can think of is the TV. The influence of TV is incredible, isn’t it?

My account is blowing up too. “I saw you on TV. You looked cool. I was moved.” I’ve received so many DMs like that. I can’t reply, but I’ll post a thank you.

Kaori? Kaori went shopping with her grandmother and the others. She was excited about making sukiyaki for everyone tonight, so she went shopping with enthusiasm.

I thought about going with her, but Kaori told me to wait at home because the supermarket is crowded at the end of the year.

In this world, we don’t eat soba on New Year’s Eve, but when I said I wanted to go because I wanted to eat it, they brought me one with shrimp tempura. I’m looking forward to it.

However, I can’t relax if I’m not doing something, so I thought maybe I should train (take a walk on a skateboard) with Mil-san. As I was walking down the hallway with Mil-san,

“Ta, Taketo-ku… san.”

Suddenly, someone called out to me. Is it a relative’s child? Looking closely, there are two middle school girls and two elementary school girls (around 5th or 6th grade). They seem to be cautiously gauging my reaction.

“My name is Nohara Takako… This is my younger sister Touko, and these two are our relatives, Kokono-chan and Yaeno-chan.”

It’s better not to mention the biting. It seems the person isn’t even aware of it.

The middle school kids are sisters named Takako-chan and Touko-chan. The elementary school kids are sisters named Kokono-chan and Yaeno-chan.

Yeah, at this family gathering, there are people who bring girls around this age or little girls, but no one brings boys.

Families with boys apparently stop attending family gatherings. Now that I think about it, I don’t have any memories of going to family gatherings either. Actually, I might not even know if I have relatives. I wonder why that is?

Ah, but maybe I just didn’t know, and my mom and sister might have been meeting relatives normally. They seemed to go out together often…

“Taketo-san, you were married to Kaori-nee-sama, weren’t you? I’m so happy.”

“Me too.”

“Yeah”

“Uh-huh.”

I’m happy to be included in the family. Seeing them so pleased makes me happy too.

But Kaori-nee-sama… Kaori doesn’t give off that kind of vibe at all, but if I think about it normally, Kaori is a lady from a good family. So, does that mean these kids will also become ladies? The clothes they wear are a bit elegant too.

“U-um…”

I heard that Takako-chan came to our cultural festival with her friends. She happily talked about how she listened to our (Armed Girls) song, but I felt like I had seen her somewhere before. It’s just a feeling, though; I don’t clearly remember.

“I see. Thank you, Takako-chan.”

“Haah!”

“Ugh.”

“Awaawa.”

“Bushu.”

When I smile, Takako-chan and her sisters sway. Oh?

“Is that a colored paper?”

“Th-this is…”

She was overjoyed when I signed the colored paper she had hurriedly bought in the morning, which she had hidden behind her back.

“I’ll treasure it!”

“Me too.”

“I will do it.”

“Uh-huh.”

They held it carefully with both hands, bowed their heads to me saying “Thank you,” and then went inside the mansion… Oh, they’re bragging to the other women.

The women who were shown are glancing over here.

——Ahaha…

After that, it turned into a small signing event, but it ended quickly, so this time, let’s train (go for a walk on skateboards) with Mil-san.

Today, I really want to avoid getting separated from Mil-san. Mil-san should have about a one-second cooldown while flying, but I have no idea where that cooldown is happening.

“Mil-san, today I won’t let go.”

“Yes.”

Full of determination. Desperately maneuvering the skateboard, chasing after Mil-san, and soaring through the air,

“Hoho, such impressive telekinesis, as expected of my grandson-in-law.”

Huh? Grandma? I thought you went shopping with Kaori and the others.

Before we knew it, grandma was watching us.

“Grandma…?”

She deliberately sat on a folding chair (like a fancy camping chair) and watched us with admiration and amusement, but grandma kept rubbing her shoulders and waist. Could it be painful?

I slowly descended in front of grandmother and asked her. She looked puzzled but then laughed, saying it was nothing to worry about since it was a usual occurrence. She explained that it was an old injury and particularly hurt on cold days. Oh, so it hurts…

“Then, excuse me for a moment, Grandma.”

If I use healing, it should get a little better, right?

“Grandson-in-law?”

I moved to the back of grandmother and placed my hand on her shoulder to try to heal. Huh? Hmm? When I applied the healing, I somehow started to sense the bad spots in her body, but it seemed that besides her shoulders and lower back, her eyes and ears were also a bit bad.

But the worst is the digestive system; this is… quite bad. Grandmother doesn’t seem to notice, but if it continues to progress without doing anything… I have a feeling everyone will end up being sad.

I’ll also send healing her way.

“Oh?”

Grandmother quickly noticed that I was doing something, but she was only a little surprised and then quietly closed her eyes.

Flowing healing energy slowly for ten minutes. Is this okay?

“Huh… Grandma, how are you feeling?”

“Hmm? Ah, oh.”

Grandmother stood up slowly, turning her shoulders and waist, her eyes wide with surprise.

“It doesn’t hurt, grandson-in-law. Also, the fatigue in my body has healed… Could it be that you can use healing, grandson-in-law?”

Huh? I told Kaori that it could be used, but I wonder if she didn’t tell her family?
