  Miyagi household, late afternoon.

  Atsuko, Nazuna, Mio. The three wives of the Miyagi household were all in the living room.

  Atsuko and Nazuna were reclining, while Mio was attending to them.

  This was the usual way of life.

  “Nazuna-sama, might you refrain a bit?”


  “It’s fine, I’m the same as usual. It’s you I’m worried about, Mio-san.”


  “Yes? I am absolutely fine.”


  “Such a liarrr! C’mon Mio-san, you’re totally covering up a wound aren’t you?”


  “Well…”


  Mio stopped talking. Now that the truth had been so quickly pointed out, she wasn’t sure how to respond.

  “I’m not saying you gotta rest. But at least remember one thing.”


  “What might that be, Nazuna-sama?”


  “If you fall over right here, we will not know what to do with ourselves.”


  Mio was relieved to hear her say that.

  Then Atsuko added to what she said.

  “Yes yes, we’d be toootally inconvenienced. Neither of us are any good at taking care of ourselves, so if you get incapacitated then who knows what’ll happen.”


  “Atsuko-sama…Nazuna-sama…”


  Mio gazed at them for a bit before making a small bow.

  “I have heard your requests and will engrave them into my heart.”


  ‘Yep yep.”


  And then the conversation was over.

  Nothing had really changed from before they discussed that. Mio was working as per usual, and the other two simply accepted that.

  That was the style of the Miyagi household, the disposition of those who live with one man.

  And that was what Hera observed as she stared in from the windowsill where she was sitting.

  “How heartwarming! I feel some sort of…I don’t know, dignity? Coming from them.”


  Hera was in awe.

  “I wonder if Taiyou and the other’s will be like this in the future too. Well, maybe that’s asking too much.”


  The three wives of the Miyagi household. Multiple women gathering around one man? That was the same thing happening with the Natsuno household, but Hera couldn’t help but feel a slight difference between the two.

  She wasn’t exactly sure what it was, but she wanted to figure that out, which was why she was observing them.

  “Hey, wanna go to my stupid son’s house?”


  “I shall accompany you.”


  Mio raised both of her hands in agreement to Atsuko’s suggestion.

  In contrast, Nazuna was a bit put-off.

  “You’re going to suddenly show up at his place?”


  “What, is that a problem?”


  “I’m not sure that I agree. They have their own affairs to deal with.”


  “Wha——–”


  “Besides, she’s his wife now, and we agreed to that.”


  “I know, but how should I put this…we never like, tried chasing our son out of the house before.”


  “Let’s just stop. I don’t think it’s appropriate to force something disagreeable on those kids.”


  “Hm? But I don’t find it disagreeable.”


  Atsuko said with a perplexed face.

  “Really now?”


  “Heck yeah, I always aspired to one day crash into someone’s house and have them kick me out.”


  “Why am I not surprised?”


  “And so I also aspire to be driven out by a man who has less patience for things like this.”


  “…Yep, I thought you’d say something like that, Atsuko-san.”


  “So c’mon, let’s go!”


  “…Very well.”


  “Yay!”


  “I’ll let you two go on ahead, then.”


  “Huh? Just us two?”


  “Yes.”


  “Why?”


  “I aspire to be a mother-in-law who is loved.”


  “Wow, you’re so underhanded, Nazuna…”


  “Is that so unreasonable? I wish to be liked, not disliked.”


  “Then what about Mio-san? Mio-san is—-Ah, you get what I mean, right?”


  “Yes, I would expect what her answer is.”


  Atsuko said as she sat down.

  After doing that she said nothing.

  It was the same for the other two. They were back to where they were originally, no one saying anything.

  “Whaaat? What’s up, what’s up? Is that it?”


  Hera opened her mouth instead.

  She truly wanted to know what the wives were getting at, but of course her voice did not reach them.

  As a result, there was no reply.

  “And why isn’t anyone moving? Weren’t you going over to Taiyou’s place?”


  She flew around like a buzzing fly around the silent room.

  Flying, waiting.

  Flying, waiting.

  Flying, waiting.

  No matter how much she flew or waited…


  The three of them did not open their mouths even once.

  The sun began to fall from its former height, the outside world darkening and the street lamps lighting up, but that did not change the calm atmosphere in the house.

  “Uu…so it is indeed pointless.”


  Hera’s eyes filled with tears.

  No one could see her or touch her.

  There were a lot of merits to that, but there were many demerits as well.

  “Oh well.”


  Hera gave up, going back through the walls outside.

  This was also part of Hera’s nature: if something is pointless, then no point dwelling on it.

  She flew alone through the night sky.

  The wind was blowing, but she did not feel it.

  She simply flew onward, untouched.

  “Oh?”


  The core of her body had heated up. She had experienced this sensation numerous times before.

  “Oho, it came! Yay!”


  Right after saying that, the fairy’s tiny body was sucked into a twisted space.

  After a brief sensation of ecstasy, she saw a familiar face.

  There was some youth that remained on this face, but it would no doubt become much more masculine as time went by.

  It wasn’t so much a bodily feeling as it was a beating in her chest.

  As she harbored those feelings, Hera soared up to the heavens and declared,

  “Ja-jajaaan, Hera has arrived!”
