Rei, who is driving, comforts me as I slump in the back seat. By the way, Tsuki-oneesan is leaning against me, who is slumped.
“How was the nursery school?”
“It was my first time being in a place with so many people, but it was fun.”
“Aren’t you tired?”
“It was my first time, so a little. But I’m fine.”
“I think Yato-kun should reduce the number of times he goes to school!!”
“Hmm… How much exactly?”
“Once every half a year!!”
“…Tsuki-oneechan, that’s too infrequent.”
Twice a year… I can’t accept that. It’s true that I’m not without fatigue, but the fact that it was fun is undeniable.
“How about once a month?”
“That’s still too infrequent… Rei-oneechan, what should I do?”
If it were up to me, I’d have no problem going every weekday. It would help me build my physical strength and expand my social circle. Plus, it would kill time, so there are no apparent downsides.
However, that’s just from my perspective. From the perspective of my mother, my sister, and Rei, it might not necessarily be the same.
First of all, from my mother’s perspective, she’s a rare mother of a boy. The number of things she has to worry about would definitely increase if I’m not at home… In that sense, it might be better to reduce the number of times I go to school.
The biggest concern is Rei. She’s basically always with me. She seems to have weekends off when my mother and sister are home, but I don’t think she can rest easy because she rushes to me in 5 minutes when I have a slight fever. About 3% of the reason I wanted to go to nursery school was to give her a break while I was having fun… but it seems that’s not possible considering she was secretly guarding me.
Plus, I think she has to attend meetings with the bigwigs at MHC and write reports about me… but she never does any of that in front of me. I’m seriously worried that she might die from overwork if she doesn’t allocate time for those things in her spare time.
As for my sister… well, I think the worst that could happen is that she would become extremely jealous, so I don’t think there’s any real harm. That’s why I wanted to accommodate Rei’s wishes as much as possible and consulted her, but the answer I got was…
“You can do as Yato-sama wishes.”
That was all she said…
“But isn’t it hard for you, Rei-oneechan?”
“No, I am merely Yato-sama’s bodyguard. It’s not right for a bodyguard to restrict the actions of the person they’re guarding.”
“……….”
Whether it’s professional ethics or a creed, Rei must have her own commitment. It would be strange for a 3-year-old to probe any further, so I’ll keep quiet.
“Hmm…”
What should I really do…?
Personally, I’d like to go to nursery school about 2 or 3 times a week. But it’s also not my intention to worry those around me any more than necessary.
“!!”
While wracking my brain, I came up with a brilliant idea. This should be a win-win situation, or even a win-win-win. The only downside is… maybe my sister?
Now all I have to do is convey this brilliant idea to everyone and see if they agree. Feeling excited, I was swayed by the car on the way home.
