The Guy Who Messed Up Is Gradually Doing His Best - Chapter 73

The next morning, Kaori headed to the kitchen as usual, but when she arrived, Mil-san was already there.

“Um, Mil-san?”

“Yes, good morning, madam Kaori.”

Kaori was deeply moved and almost brought to tears when called “madam,” but she couldn’t simply express her joy at that moment.

“Good morning. Um… why is Mil-san standing in the kitchen?”

“Yes. My job as guardian includes taking care of the daily needs of my clients.”

In other words, household chores, meal preparation, cleaning, and laundry are just part of the usual duties. Mil-san bows her head.

“Is that so…”

If it is included in the contract and said to be part of the job, Kaori, who has a workaholic disposition, won’t be able to say anything.

However, just as much as that, Kaori loves Taketo and feels joy when he says her cooking is delicious. In short, she wants to take care of the Taketo she loves.

“In that case…”

“Good morning…?”

After finishing my morning routine, I headed to the living room, but Kaori and Mil-san were standing in the kitchen.

Since both of them are wearing aprons, I wonder if they made breakfast together?

“Ah, Taketo-kun, good morning.”

“Good morning, Taketo-sama.”

On the table, there was breakfast: rice, miso soup, grilled fish, seaweed, natto, tamagoyaki, grilled pork sausages, and for dessert, yogurt and fruit. To me, it seemed quite luxurious, and it was all laid out for three people.

Breakfast when I was eating alone was just a slice of bread with coffee, or rice with miso soup, or maybe a sweet bread or a savory bread from the convenience store. Compared to that time, it’s like night and day.

“Is this Kaori and Mil-san?”

“Yes, Taketo-sama.”

“Is that so…”

I see, so the duties of a guardian include things like household chores. Indeed, commuting must be tough under these circumstances. I heard that a substitute guardian comes when Mil-san wants to take a break, but…

“Thank you, Kaori and Mil-san. Also, Mil-san, even though you’re working, your health is important. Please don’t overdo it. If you’re tired or need a break, don’t hesitate to let me know. I’ll try to stay quiet during those times.”

“!? …Thank you very much, Taketo-sama.”

For just a moment, it looked like Mil-san was surprised, but since she was wearing glasses and her expression was hard to read, it might have just been my imagination.

We had breakfast together with the three of us.

According to Kaori, at first, Mil-san was going to have breakfast in her own room out of consideration for the two of us.

It’s a hassle to carry it all the way to your room… Breakfast isn’t tasty when eaten alone (from experience), so I asked not to hold back on my account. From now on, we’ll eat together as three.

“I always ate alone, so it’s actually a bit unsettling for me…”

“Hehe. I think Mil-san will get used to it soon, so it’s okay.”

“That’s right, Mil-san.”

“Thank you very much, Taketo-sama, madam Kaori.”

Mil-san’s expression didn’t change, but her ears turned a bit red. Oh, Kaori, who was called “madam,” also had a slight smile on her face. So, Kaori is happy to be called “madam” (my madam). I felt a bit happy too.

“Kaori, have a good day.”

“Yeah. I’m going. Take care on your way too, Taketo-kun.”

After confirming that Mil-san was not around, I decided to give Kaori the goodbye kiss that I started doing after we got married, and Kaori always responded with a hug.

She said she felt so happy that she just wanted to hug me. I’m happy too, so it’s fine, but Kaori, always dressed in her business suit, looks dignified and cool as ever.

Waving goodbye to Kaori as she leaves through the front door, I also get ready for school (changing into my uniform).

“Um… you’re Mil-san, right?”

“Yes. It’s me.”

Mil-san… She’s changing into the officer’s uniform, but the fit is off. The width is almost doubled. I look at her curiously,

“This is a school for Taketo-sama, meant to reassure those around them.”

A woman with her hair in braids, wearing thick glasses, with freckles drawn on her face, and an obviously overweight body. Quite unique.

“Oh, really? Um… your body shape is quite unusual, but is that okay (especially the width)?”

I hesitated to ask, but since I was curious, I decided to go ahead and ask.

“Ah, well this is…”

Mil-san suddenly started unbuttoning her jacket, and I panicked.

“Vest…?”

“Yes. By adding cushions, I can achieve my desired body shape. This vest is really convenient. Would you like to try it?”

“Eh, is that okay?”

Mil-san was wearing a vest under her guardian uniform that could adjust her body shape. I didn’t know such vests existed. Huh… it feels nice to touch like I’m touching a memory foam material. I wonder if it really is memory foam?

“This was provided by the company, so I don’t know what material it is. But I’m sure it’s not memory foam. By the way, regular people can’t buy this vest.”

“Ah, ahaha.”

I panicked when Mil-san read my thoughts. I wonder if I showed it on my face again; I need to be careful.

“Shall we go then?”

“Yes.”

After that, I headed to school with Mil-san, who was in disguise (apparently, she always looks like this when going out), but I was surprised that hardly anyone noticed her.
