Imitating Kaa-sama

Healberry Village.

After we finished playing with the Nyaff tribe, we returned home. Since we handed the cotton over to the Nyaff tribe as it was, they became white and fluffy and went back.

Cute.

When we returned home, it was time to prepare dinner.

“Today is gyoza, piyo!” (Dia)

The filling of gyoza that Dia kneaded hard.

She must have done it during the day. We wrap that with the skins.

“Ugo-ugo, like this…… wrap like this.” (Wood)

“Naru, piyo…” (Dia)

Wood and Dia together kept wrapping the gyoza skins. They were completely serious. As I made spicy stir-fry, I watched that situation. They were trying hard because Stella was not there.

“Maku, piyo, maku, piyo.” (Dia)

*Kurukuru kuru*

Just like Wood taught, Dia keeps making gyoza more and more. Dia and Wood could do what they were taught fairly quickly. They were very reliable.

“Finished, piyo~!” (Dia)

“Ugo-ugo, then next is steaming……” (Wood)

“Got it, piyo!” (Dia)

With that kind of feeling, the preparation finished, and we had a meal. First was the gyoza the two made. Steaming hot and delicious-looking gyoza were lined up.

“Try eating it, piyo! I have confidence, piyo!” (Dia)

Dia puffed out her chest proudly on top of the table.

*Pat pat*

“Of course I’ll eat. Looks delicious.” (Elt)

This was not flattery. The shape and the steaming condition were done well. I put the gyoza on my fork and chew-chew ate. Properly, the original umami of the gyoza came out. In that slightly cold season, it was perfect.

“…H-how is it, piyo?” (Dia)

“Yeah, well done. It’s delicious.” (Elt)

“Yay, piyo!” (Dia)

*Pat pat*

I patted well-done Dia with both hands like squeezing.

“Thank you, piyo!” (Dia)

Dia fluttered her wings joyfully.

“Wood, too, thanks for making together with Dia. It’s really delicious.” (Elt)

“Ugo-ugo…… you’re welcome!” (Wood)

Maybe because Wood was a boy, he didn’t really seek skinship. Even when done, he didn’t run away though. That part was similar to my personality. With his height, it was difficult to pat Wood’s head, so at times like that, I patted his arm.

“…Ugo.” (Wood)

Wood narrowed his eyes comfortably.

“Piyo. Tou-sama’s spicy stir-fry, it’s tasty, piyoyo!” (Dia)

Dia started to eat the spicy stir-fry I made vigorously.

Oh, that’s right… There’s more than just gyoza on the table. Now then, let’s try a bite of the spicy stir-fry I made myself.

*Chew-chew*

Hmm…… well, I guess…… it’s not bad. Honestly, it doesn’t match up to Stella’s cooking.

“Seconds, piyo!” (Dia)

“Fast! Are you properly chewing it?” (Elt)

“I’m chewing, piyoyo!” (Dia)

Dia already finished one plate and requests seconds.

Also, what Dia has is… a beak though. I say “chew it” so she doesn’t eat too fast. It’s lonely that Stella and the others aren’t here, but it’s only for a week. Until then, I have to carefully watch over the two children.

Night.

The entire village was wrapped in silence. We were then wrapped in cotton in place of a bed. From that day, Stella and Marcosias were not there. When we prepared to sleep like that, we realized that strongly.

“Piyo~…” (Dia)

Fresh and warm from the bath, Dia wriggled inside my arms.

*Cute*

“…You can sleep already, you know.” (Elt)
“Piyo, I’ll sleep, piyo……” (Dia)

Wriggle wriggle, Dia snuggled her body against me. I stroked the back of fluffy and soft Dia.

“Tou-sama is lonely too, piyo?” (Dia)

“…Well, yeah.” (Elt)

I admitted it honestly. When Stella and the others went to Zanzas before, it wasn’t like this. I didn’t feel this lonely. But being together for so long, Stella and Marcoasias’ presence had become really big.

“Lonely is together, piyo. But it’s only a little patience, piyo!” (Dia)

As she said that, Dia stroked my cheek with her wing.

Fluffy… Feels good. If an angel stroked you with a wing, it would probably feel like this. Though being comforted by my daughter is…

Dia is still a child, but she grows fast. In a way, things like meals and this situation now are really becoming chances for growth. How much Stella was thinking that far, I don’t know…

“Ugo, tomorrow also I will stay home. While Kaa-san is not here, I’ll do my best.” (Wood)

I could hear Wood’s voice too.

Ugh…… so reliable. Somehow, I feel like I might cry. Though it’s not the time for me to cry. But it’s okay. Both of them are dependable.

With that kind of feeling, we fell asleep. Then, morning came. Surprisingly, in that village, I could hear bird voices.

Well, there are a lot of trees.

*Chun chun*

“U~n……” (Elt)

When I opened my eyes with a wriggle, Dia already seemed to be awake. Next to my head, she was sitting vacantly.

Hmm…? Usually it doesn’t turn out like this. The one who’s like this is Stella. Until her switch turns on, she takes time.

“What’s wrong, Dia……?” (Elt)

When I asked that, Dia answered while staying vacantly like that. It seemed like her consciousness was pretty clear.

“…I’m imitating kaa-sama-piyo.” (Dia)

No, there…… you don’t have to imitate her, it’s not lonely because of that, okay!
