Sura-chan and Imu-chan Are Ari’s Favorites. Captain Luke Is Hooked on Jump Rope
“Papa, bye-bye.”
“Hey, Ari-chan, don’t just come see Papa when you want something. Come play with me again too, okay?”
“Hmm?”
Wait, you have to think about that? Papa’s getting lonely, you know!
Hasn’t Ari-chan been a little cold to Papa lately?
“Hey? Hey? Ari-chan, say yes.”
“Umm, Papa, Ari loves Papa, but… Ari loves Onii~sama more!”
Ugh~ that hurts too much!
But the way she looks up to the upper right, touching her chin with her finger while thinking… that’s adorable too.
My daughter is way too cute.
“Papa, what’s wrong? Does your chest hurt? Are you okay?”
“Ah, I’m fine. Ari-chan is kind.”
“Yep, Ari is kind.”
“That’s right.”
“Okay then, Papa, I’m going now. Onii~sama is waiting. See you, bye-bye!”
Ari waved at me and ran off.
She didn’t have to run that fast just to get to her brother, did she?
Ugh… that stings a little.
I’m too sad to work today. Right… Amana can comfort me. Yeah, that’s the plan.
“Onii~samaaa!”
Holding Marle’s hand, Ari happily waved at me as she came over.
Ahh, Ari changed into pink clothes. Yeah, yeah, that suits you too. Cute!
“Ari, where’s…?”
Hey, why are you ignoring your Oniisama and looking around?
What are you scanning for?
“Onii~sama, where’s Sura-chan?”
Ahhhhh~ I forgot!!
Where’s the slime?!
Crap, crap~ if I don’t find it, Ari’s gonna cry!
“Ah, there! Sura-chan, let’s go to my room!”
Thank goodness… what a relief.
Hm? Wait, there are two? Did it split?
“Huh? When did you bring Imu-chan?”
Haha~ yep, it really is Imu-chan.
“Sura-chan and Imu-chan, we’re going to Ari’s room, okay? Can you walk?”
No, no, no, you can’t just walk them there like that.
“Ari, slimes probably can’t keep up if we’re walking together like this.”
“Then what do we do?”
Huh? Wait, since when is there a box over there?
Oh? Could that be Mr. Shadow? Nice work, thanks!
“Ari, there’s a box over there. Want to put them in it?”
“Okay!”
Alright, Sura-chan, Imu-chan, let’s go to Ari’s room.
… Oh yeah~ what do slimes even eat?
“Hey, Captain Luke, what do slimes eat?”
“Slimes eat anything.”
Ohh, really?
Then maybe… you know that thing?
Like how they clean toilets?
Shouldn’t we try that sometime with a slime? Yeah, let’s test it later.
Alright then, what should we feed Ari’s slime?
“Ari, what are we gonna feed the slimes? Seems like they eat anything.”
“Onii~sama, then… should we ask Gordon?”
“Good idea. Let’s head to the kitchen now.”
“Okay!”
And just like that, Ari and I held hands and toddled off toward the kitchen together.
“I’ll accompany you.”
Marle picked up the box, with Sura-chan and Imu-chan inside, and followed behind us.
“I’ll come along too!”
Captain Luke, huh, he really likes that rope.
But hey, hey, stop following us while doing wide-legged jump rope!
“Captain Luke, what are you doing? Are you weird? Are you stupid??”
Marle, your shoulders are shaking…
Pfft, nope, I can’t, now I’m laughing again!
“Ahahahahaha!”
Ari, no. You can’t say the truth like that.
What do you think about this chapter?
