Chapter 21 – Grandparents’ Home
Wataru was able to learn a little about Mariel’s past.
She was the daughter of a baron but dropped out of school in the capital because of her family’s decline.
She doesn’t know where her family is now.
This is all very important information, and it will have a great impact on the future.
Buying a slave is probably the same as buying a person’s life.
Wataru wants Mariel to be happy, and he is willing to make some sacrifices and efforts to make that happen.
So far, he hasn’t been able to ask her about the details of her life, but he will be able to find out more in the future.
As they talked, they ran out of time to visit Wataru’s grandparents’ house.
Wataru and Mariel checked to make sure they hadn’t forgotten anything and then left the house.
〇〇〇
The quickest way to get from Wataru’s house to his family’s home in Kishiwada is to take the JR Loop Line from Tennoji Station to Shin-Imamiya Station and then switch to the Nankai Main Line.
Taking the opportunity, Wataru bought some of the famous GogoGo Butaman (pork buns) and Rikuro Ojisan’s cheesecake as souvenirs at Tennoji Station. (Please note that Rikuro Obasan does not exist.)
“Wow, a train! It’s so beautiful!”
“It’s beautiful. I’ve never seen a view like this.”
“If someone comes, you’d better behave.”
“Yes, Master! Look at this! It’s a magic trick!”
“Hey, don’t act like a child!”
Aire demonstrated her aerial acrobatics by hanging from a trapeze with only her tail.
It’s a magic trick because you can’t see the tail with the transformation accessories.
Until now, the main way to get around Osaka City has been by subway.
Perhaps because of this, the view of the city from the elevated platform of the Nankai Main Line train seemed unusual to them, and both Mariel and Aire gazed at the Osaka cityscape with great interest.
It was only noon, so there weren’t many people around, and they could choose the seats they wanted.
Since they attracted so much attention, this was a good thing.
Even when Aire gets a little carried away, it’s easy to follow her, and the Osaka ladies, who don’t shy away from strangers, often ask questions like, “You’re so pretty! Where are you from?”
Aire also sits quietly without turning her back to the seat.
During her transformation, however, her tail wagged, and from time to time, there was a sound of something fluttering around from somewhere you couldn’t see.
Just watching the scenery change is surprisingly fun.
Wataru also remembers that he used to watch the scenery a lot.
Wataru paid attention to Mariel without saying anything because he had made her talk about her painful past, but she didn’t seem depressed.
Or maybe she was able to talk about her past, which she had been hiding for so long, and it made her feel better.
“Is something wrong?”
“Hmm, no, it’s nothing important.”
“I see.”
Mariel’s eyes met Wataru’s.
Her eyes narrowed friendly, and she stared intently at Wataru.
Mariel’s smile made Wataru’s heart flutter.
“W-what’s wrong?”
“No, it’s nothing important.”
“I-is that so?”
“Fufufu, are you worried about me?”
“Well, I asked you about it.”
“If you’re saying that, it’s because I showed signs that I was thinking about it. Don’t worry; I’m not that sad right now. Master is treating me well, and I’ve met Aire. Being able to travel between worlds is like being a character in a story, and it’s exciting.”
“I see. I’m glad to hear that.”
“I’m glad to have met Master. I look forward to working with you for many years to come.”
“O-oh, you can count on me.”
His voice rises involuntarily.
Mariel seems to enjoy Wataru’s reaction.
Damn, even though we’ve had sex so many times, why am I so nervous? Wataru thought.
“I’m looking forward to meeting your grandparents.”
“Well, I don’t want you to get your hopes up too high. They’re a very strange couple.”
“I can’t wait to meet them. I have to tell them all the dirty things you’ve asked me to do.”
“Seriously, stop it. This isn’t a joke.”
“Hehehe, I’m just kidding.”
“Well, it’s going to take a while. Just wait quietly.”
Wataru couldn’t look Mariel in the eye, so he looked out the window.
They were approaching the Yamato River, which separates Osaka City from Sakai City.
From now on, the number of buildings will gradually decrease, and the number of private houses will gradually increase.
The express train was rapidly approaching Wataru’s family home.
Wataru’s grandparents lived about ten minutes by taxi from Kishiwada Station.
Since Wataru’s plans had changed, it was more convenient to take a taxi than to have them pick him up in their car.
The grandparents’ house was more like a private residence with a field than a house with a garden.
How should he introduce Mariel and Aire?
Wataru was nervous, which was out of character for him, at the prospect of seeing them again after such a long time.
For the first time in a long time, he used the key to his family’s house, opened the door, and announced his visit loudly.
“I’m home!”
“Oh, welcome back! Wataru, you’re back! Say, who are those beauties?”
“Yes, these two…”
“Hey, Grandma! Grandma! Wataru’s back with girls! Two of them! They’re beauties!”
“Ara, ara, ara, ara, ara, ara!!! Well, well, well, well!!!”
This is why he doesn’t like to go back to his family home.
Wataru slumped his shoulders in disappointment as his grandparents made a fuss in the doorway.

Especially given who Wataru was in the past. They could only hope and pray he could meet someone.
