"Yaya has become good friends."
"Yeah! We fell asleep together."
When Aya called out to her, the precocious Yaya answered cheerfully, in stark contrast to her previous shy demeanor.
On the way back from the meeting, the Sakisaka family was discussing their impressions of the day in Tomoe's wagon-type car.
“Anyway, he grew up to be a beautiful boy.”
"I was really surprised. It was much more beautiful than the photo."
Tomoe and Sakura always talk like sisters. However, Tomoe and Sakura are mother and daughter. All members of the Sakisaka family are parents and children, and five generations of parents and children live together. That's common in this country.
"I'm happy that he's growing up healthy."
"Yes, that's the most important thing. As long as you stay healthy, you can handle most things. Today was enough to confirm that."
Aya and Grandma Yuri gave their impressions as if they were close relatives.
The state of health and growth cannot be determined from documents or photos, but only by meeting and observing him.
Today was a very important meeting in order to assess the growth over the past three years.
After talking with Yuu and seeing the real thing, they were finally able to feel at ease with the care provided by the Probation Bureau.
"I guess Yuu was nervous after all. He didn't seem shy, but he seemed deep in thought as he spoke."
"That's right. To that child, we just look like strangers who suddenly barged in."
She said something that Sakura, who was sitting in the passenger seat, understood.
The members of the Sakisaka family, who have a simple and easy-to-understand love for each other, had no way of thinking about Yuu's inner conflict.
Contrary to Yuu's thoughts about him, who has only a few memories of relationships in his previous life, the members of the Sakisaka family had total and unconditional love for Yuu, but this was still beyond Yuu's understanding. It wasn't there.
"I think it went well for our first meeting. He seemed to be interested in our farm as well."
"Yeah, that's important. If he says, ``In the future, we're not going to live together,''I won't be able to get over it.''
Tomoe and Sakura were talking while laughing.
"Anyway, since the information has been lifted, Yuu must be very intelligent. He's very different from us!"
"He's only three years old, so I want him to grow up more slowly. I don't want us to be so stupid that he doesn't want to deal with us."
"What should I say to everyone in the village? They'll definitely make a fuss."
"It's okay. I'm sure people won't understand even if I explain it to them."
Yuu's intelligence was beyond the Sakisaka family's ability to understand.
In order for the Sakisaka family to observe the situation in front of them without preconceived notions during the first meeting, Reira intentionally withheld information from her regular reports to the Sakisaka family.
"It's still early, but I have to make sure that Yuu can spend his time comfortably."
"Yuri's mother has to live long enough for Yuu to become an adult."
“It’s okay, you’re still a stubborn old lady!”
Even though Grandma Yuri was talking seriously, Tomoe and Sakura tried to cheer her up by laughing teasingly.
"It's here!"
"What brought you here?"
During lunch, Tomoe suddenly spoke up at the table.
Even though everyone was eating, Tomoe was fiddling with the electronic panel while eating.
Since people in this country basically work from home, doctors, city hall employees, and the Sakisaka family, who are farmers, were all at home most of the time.
Sakura asked back to Tomoe's frank voice.
"What, it's Yuu! This is his first report!"
"Yeah, show me too!"
"It's been so long already."
"I'm eating, but please show me now."
An A4-sized touch-screen electronic panel was placed in the center of the dining table, and everyone looked into it.
There, a regular report titled "To the Sakisaka Family" was received in the name of the 38th Branch of the Men's Protection Bureau.
``Today, one month has passed since Yuu Sakisaka entered the facility for male infants and toddlers, so we would like to update his family on his progress.
Yuu is breastfeeding and sleeping without any problems every day, and he is growing up healthy and without crying or being "difficult" at night, and without being shy. We have attached data such as height and weight, and doctors have determined that there is no problem when compared with data on male infants and children in this country. So far, no illnesses or allergic reactions have been confirmed, and we have determined that the patient is currently in good physical and mental health.
Reactions to sound, light, and movement are stable, and we have determined that the reactions and movements of the limbs are normal.
Based on the above results, the Probation Bureau will continue to provide care as planned.
We have attached photos to confirm the state of health and to keep memories for himself and you.
We will continue to do our best to raise Yuu, so please rest assured and look forward to the next report. ”
Ten photos of Yuu were attached along with growth data.
"So cute! It's a close-up of his face!"
"He's grown quite a bit."
"There are other babies in the picture, but Yuu is the cutest!"
"He looks a lot like when you were babies."
Everyone was making a fuss about eating, leaving the meal alone. Although he was only a month old, he was the proud child of the Sakisaka family. It had nothing to do with being a boy.
This book was originally published on Royal Road. Check it out there for the real experience.
Naturally, after the meal, they emailed the photos to the villagers, and it became their favorite.
In this world, children were the common property of the villagers, and every child was showered with love from the villagers. That was the reason why the villagers rushed to Yuu whenshe was born, and why they thought of a name for him.
After giving birth to Yuu, Aya applied for artificial insemination again when her body stabilized, and she gave birth to Yaya the following year.
In this world, pregnancy is carried out through artificial fertilization. Sperm allocation is controlled by the state, and artificial selection of fathers is strictly prohibited.
Aya was twenty years old when she gave birth to Yuu, and although she usually only gives birth to one child in her life at a young age, she gave birth to another child because it was a boy.
The birthing technology in this country is stable, and most births are successful without any danger to mother and child.
Raising her child was easy because five generations of her family lived together and she worked from home.
This is what ordinary households in this country look like.
``My name is Reira Sudou, and I am the first male protection officer who will be in charge of Yuu exclusively starting next month.
I have decided to take over the responsibility of raising Yuu, so I came here to report and say hello.''
At the beginning of March, just before Yuu was due to leave the infant facility, Reira visited the Sakisaka family.
Neither the Sakisaka family nor Yuu himself were informed that he was on a special mission, nor was he informed of him special behavior at the infant facility, so Reira greeted them in a natural manner.
``Thank you for coming out of your way to say hello.
Thank you for your support of Yuu.
Please let everyone know that we are grateful for the efforts of everyone at the Protection Bureau. ”
``Yes, I will convey your family's gratitude to the staff of the relevant organizations.
All of us are committed to continuing to fulfill our responsibilities.
Well, today I would like to explain my future plans with Yuu. ”
Reira and the Sakisaka family got to know each other by talking about Reira's origins and her hobbies and special skills.
Reira is from the 20th Administrative District, which is a relatively warm region, and was a rice farmer, so the topic of farming was lively.
If a full-time first-class male protection officer is unable to properly build a relationship with a family member, this may affect the relationship with the person being protected and cause problems in personality growth and living with the family after adulthood. Building relationships between them was an important issue for first-class male protection officers.
``At the beginning of May, we will have a meeting with Yuu and you, but he may not be able to recognize that you are part of his family.
This will be a shock to you, but he will eventually be able to accept you, so please be patient and don't panic.
It takes a long time for a man to acquire a man's personality and for it to be stably reflected in his thoughts and attitudes. This is something that is difficult for women to understand, but it is very important to him, so please help us with this. Please take a moment to read the instructions from the Department of Conservation. ”
After receiving this instruction, the only thing the Sakisaka family could do until he will start living in the civilian section was to meet with him, so everyone did their best to read the warning materials.
For the Sakisaka family, how to interact with boys is a completely unknown world, so everyone prepared as nervously as a new employee.
"This is fine! It's cool!"
"I don't know. I tried to look classy, but is it working?"
"Everyone's fine. They look good together. Yaya is cute too. Grandma Yuri has dignity."
"Hmm, that's good. It's important to show that I'm reliable."
Today is finally the day of their first meeting.
The members of the Sakisaka family have been as restless as test takers for the past week.
The villagers also visited the Sakisaka family every day, making noise and rehearsing what kind of story they should talk about.
vPerhaps because Aya is her mother, she was more interested in Yuu's growth than her clothes until they actually met.
"Hello, thank you for your consideration in setting up a meeting. Thank you for your time today."
"Welcome. Yuu is ready. It looks like you're all dressed up, so I'll show you around right away.
I think Yuu is nervous, so please talk to him kindly. I won't be saying much today, so please let everyone talk to Yuu."
After saying that, Reira guided everyone around.
"Nice to meet you. Please come and meet me."
When Aya and the others entered the room, a small and beautiful boy with shiny silver hair cut to shoulder height was sitting on the sofa.
The child glanced at them with his pale blue eyes, and without changing his expression, he straightened his back and stared straight ahead.
Seeing the sophisticated atmosphere that was clearly different from the one they grew up in, Aya and the others were speechless.
Then the child stood up and said hello.
From his attitude, it was easy to tell that he was already highly educated.
Aya and the others finally came to their senses, remembered what Reira had said at the entrance earlier, and approached him and called out to him.
He seemed taken aback at first, perhaps because they had forgotten to practice beforehand and approached him with a forward approach, but as Tomoe and others were having fun, he showed a calm demeanor, even though he looked around from time to time and kept smiling. When they saw the situation, they couldn't tell which one was the adult.
Afterwards, as they talked, they realized how smart the child was. And according to Reira, he is a rare talent.
Usually parents are idiots when they say something like that, but it seems to be true in this child's case.
"Yes, I understand. Please calm down."
Although his words are slow, his attitude and content are very adult-like.
It seems like what Reira says is true.
"This surprised me. I never expected that the Sakisaka family would not only give birth to a boy, but also a child prodigy. Well, if everyone in the village found out, there would be an uproar."
"Yeah, no one would believe that I would give birth to a child like this, even though it's my own child."
Those words came out of my mouth without thinking.
I'm really scared of everyone's reaction in the village.
It is said that special measures have been taken to disclose information to Yuu.
The more I hear about it, the more special treatment I get.
We also need to be firm on this.
We'll need an emergency family meeting when we get back.
"What do you think? It seems that Yuu was nervous and worried. Yuu tends to suppress his feelings, but as we continue to meet, he will eventually open up. I think he will be able to show his innocence.”
“Yes, I hope so, but today we were surprised by Yuu’s smartness and good discipline, and I’m worried that we might be making him anxious.We have to make up for it in our future meetings. You can’t do that.”
While Yuu was taking a nap with Yaya, they discussed their first impressions like this.
He seems to be healthy. After confirming that, Aya was finally able to feel at ease. That's why she didn't care that Yuu's behavior was unnatural.
On top of that, Yuu is unexpectedly superior, so the members of the Sakisaka family, who had been pretending to be only 3 years old, become impatient, and decide that they must take countermeasures (?), including the villagers.
The feelings of Aya and the members of the Sakisaka family that day were beyond Yuu's imagination.
