"It's obvious, but the Protection Bureau knows the details of Yuu's educational situation."
Aya says so. Special permission is a bit of an exaggeration.
"Yes. If anything unusual is observed, the headquarters will eventually be notified. If Yuu's maturity level and educational acquisition progress quickly, changes to the educational policy and the accepting institution will be necessary. There is a possibility that this may occur, so it is important to find out as early as possible.
In particular, when preparing for life in a general residential area, if Yuu's situation is not properly understood, confusion may occur, which may have a negative impact on Yuu's mental and physical growth. Support from those around Yuu is essential, at least until Yuu reach adulthood."
When Reira said that, everyone seemed to agree.
"I will rely completely on the Protection Bureau for Yuu's education and protection. I ask for your help."
Grandma Yuri bowed to Reira.
"Yes, please leave it to me. Since I have permission, you can now disclose information to Yuu, but from now on I will be teaching Yuu about men, including his father, and the social situation. Today is the first meeting between you and Yuu, so it would be best to talk about something lighthearted.''
Reira summed it up by saying that, so I tried to be tactful and ask questions like a child.
"What kind of place is everyone hushing?"
I tried my best to pronounce it, and Tomoe answered cheerfully.
''As I was told earlier, it's a plateau that we drove about two hours from here.It's a spacious, beautiful place with a river running through it.We have a cabbage field, but there are some houses in the village that raise cows.
On a sunny day, there are many cows basking in the sun. Everyone around us is farmers.
It's a nice place to relax. I want to show it to you soon."
It's nice to be somewhere with a beautiful view. There was no scenery in my previous life or in the facility.
"When, can I go see it?"
When I asked Reira, she said something surprising.
"Yeah, I might live near the Sakisaka family from third grade onwards, so I'll be able to see them every day."
Oh, was there such a plan? If I leave here, I might end up living near everyone else. Maybe about five more years. If you lived in such a large place, you would run around every day.
"Well, I hope one day that happens. I can't wait. I'm sure you'll like it."
Sakura answered with a twinkle in her eye. Then, ''By the way,'' Grandma Yuri asked Reira.
"How will the number of men be adjusted?"
"This will be decided by the time Yuu becomes an adult, so there will be no changes to the plan for the time being. Please consider that the current situation will remain the same until Yuun's lifestyle after adulthood is determined."
Adjustment? I wonder if there's something.
"What do you mean?"
When I asked Reira, she laughed and said, ''I'll explain everything eventually.''
This book was originally published on Royal Road. Check it out there for the real experience.
Well, that's fine though.
"Yuu, do you think you can get along well with everyone?"
Reira asked me, and I answered with a smile, "Of course!" When everyone heard that, they nodded happily and said, ''That's good.''
After that, I listened to what was going on with the farmers, but I gradually became more concerned about the situation in front of me.
That's about Yaya, who is sitting on Sakura's lap.
She's been feeling depressed since a while ago.
It's been a while since everyone came here, so I'm feeling sleepy.
Yaya is wearing a dark red dress.
She is a cute girl with light brown hair and dark brown eyes who looks a lot like Aya.
Her hair is tied in two buns on the upper-side of her head with an elastic band.
I have to put her to bed early.
She's my first little sister.
Perhaps because he spends time with Reira, he still doesn't feel attached to the Sakisaka family, but his younger sister is a different story.
It's smaller than me!
"Hey, can I let Yaya sleep?"
When I asked everyone,
"Oh, it's almost time for a nap. May I ask you a favor?"
Sakura replied with a smile.
I immediately stood up and tried to hold Yaya, but he was too small and I couldn't do it.
So, Sakura carried Yaya to my bed and put her to sleep.
"I'll be here with you."
When he said that, Sakura said yes, patted him on the head.
After Sakura left this room, I took a closer look at Yaya.
Holding her little hand on her face, she was breathing softly.
Her mouth is slightly open and I'm sure you'll be drooling.
Her cheeks are plump and very cute.
I was lying face to face with Yaya, looking at her face, and before I knew it, I had fallen asleep.
My eyes met the round eyes of Yaya in front of me.
"Are you awake yet?"
When I asked Yaya, she answered "Yes."
"Let's go. Mothers are waiting."
When I said that, Yaya nodded, so I decided to get up.
I slither off the bed and onto the floor, holding out my hand to Yaya.
Yaya is small and has quite a height to her floor.
So I decided to do my best to hold her and put her down.
"Huuuuu!"
When I gathered my strength and hugged Yaya from the front, I stumbled and almost fell over.
However, with all my strength, I managed to get her to the floor.
At first I thought of letting her sit on the floor, but it was too high and I looked like she might fall, so I decided to have her stand up.
"Huh. Come on."
I held hands with Yaya and headed to the drawing room.
Yaya didn't say anything, but she walked together.
"We woke up."
When I said that and entered the room, everyone looked at me.
"You slept well."
When Aya said that with a big smile, everyone smiled.
The sun is setting behind the glass window, and it's already evening.
It's almost time for everyone to go home.
"It's time to go home. Today was the first time I saw your face, but next time let's talk more."
When Reira and I saw them off outside, Aya and everyone else said that and left. They came by car. I think I was happiest today when Yaya waved to me and said "Bye."
"Thank you for your hard work. You did a great job."
Reira and I changed into our loungewear and ate the udon noodles that Reira had made for us. It's delicious with lots of chicken and green onions.
My taste is the same as an adult's.
I was a little tired, so the warm udon noodles were a relief.
Then, Reira called out to me. Maybe she saw my adult-like and understanding attitude today, and noticed that my feelings toward the Sakisaka family had softened a little. If it were a normal child, they would probably get more emotional and make a fuss, or on the other hand, everyone in the Sakisaka family would be moved.
When everyone entered the drawing room, the reason they didn't approach me was probably because my attitude and atmosphere didn't seem like a child's, and I didn't seem to be forgiving.
I'm sure Reira expected this from the beginning.
"I was surprised, but it's okay because Reera was there."
Yes, having Reira is enough for me.
Even after meeting the Sakisaka family and being told that we are related by blood, Reira is still my mother. I don't feel comfortable calling Aya my mother.
I'm sure Aya and the others felt the same way I felt.
Combined with my previous life, Reira is my first mother. Combined with my previous life, I'm 23 years old, but Reira is my first family.
I still don't really understand what a blood-related family is, and I don't really understand what a real mother is. I don't know how to get along with my family, but it's enough as it is now.
I only have 15 years left until I become an adult, but as long as I can spend them with Reira, that's fine.
"As I mentioned earlier, there were various restrictions on what I could tell Yuu. It can't be helped to protect Yuu, but from now on I'll tell you little by little."
Reira sounds apologetic, but I don't mind the restriction of information at all.
Because, combined with my previous life, I am very blessed now.
A healthy body and sufficient food, clothing, and shelter. And above all, Reira is here.
There's nothing more I want.
"I'll leave it to Reera. I'll leave it to you now."
When I hesitantly honestly told her how I felt, Reira's nose turned red.
"Let's take a bath and go to bed early."
Reira said as she ate the udon noodles.
