Chapter 274 – Youthful Affairs Are Good for the Body

Тhе rеd and black оf Shаke Strikers.

А high schoоl strеаmеr unit соmposеd of two lосals аnd thrее friеnds whо cоmmute frоm the citу.

Sрiсе coаchеs them too, sо I think thеy’re probаblу the strongest among thе lоcally-focusеd strеamers аround hеrе.

Тhеir streaming style аctivelу inсоrporаtеs РickPоck.

Bу turning highlight scenes into vidеоs and pоsting thеm with upbеat music, thеy’ve gainеd immensе suрport from their own gеnerаtiоn аnd thosе a bit yоungеr!

Вut~.

It seems thеy dоn’t intеnd tо usе thаt as а stерping stоnе to become professional streamers…

“How’s it going—!”

“Ah! Ms. Spice! Thank you for your hard work!!”

“Ms. Spice, hello!”

The two stood up and bowed.

Are they the athletic type?

The three from the city are a bit rough around the edges, but these two here are relatively polite.

“What were you two talking about? Graduation is getting close, after all.”

An old man bringing up this topic might seem like harassment, but with Spice’s appearance, it’s safe!

It’s not about what words are spoken, but who speaks them…!

“Um, well, that’s~”

The girl in red fidgeted.

The boy in black fidgeted.

Hey, hey, hey.

How pure!

“I see, I see. I can tell even without you saying anything, but when you’re young, you can spill everything and consult with your elders too! When you’re young, you can afford to make all the embarrassing mistakes! When you get older, the damage from embarrassment gets bigger, and there are fewer people who’ll listen to you, you know—!”

“O-oh, I see! So adult~”

“B-but there are reasons we can’t say it, you know…”

The two keep glancing at each other!

Well, pushing further here might be tactless!

“Spice has experience too—back in my student days, there was someone I was interested in, and after graduation, our paths went different ways! There were all sorts of things I couldn’t say, and I still have regrets about it sometimes. So say anything! Well then—!”

“Th-thanks!”

“Thank you! I see, even Ms. Spice…”

That’s right!!

Go for it, go for it!

For the record, Spice doesn’t have any lingering attachments from his student days.

If anything, it’s just that he wishes he’d mastered airsoft more.

It was about the experience of being separated from someone he’d sworn “Let’s play airsoft together!” with and losing contact.

But… if you’re vague about it, the listener can interpret it however they want!

After that, I left it to the young two…

I met up with Mashiro over there.

“They’re so young—!”

“Yeah! I think it’s especially because Shake Strikers seems like they’ll disband after high school graduation. Probably those two will go their separate ways too, so that’s why they were looking so serious, right?”

“That’s right—. Even though they like each other.”

Having that conversation, we pushed the stroller and moved on.

Once Christmas ends, the New Year comes, the start of a new year.

For the world, it means the savior Kiraboshi Hazuki will be gone.

The countermeasures for that are the A-Guild and the dungeon-related legislation being advanced in various countries.

Relying on a single Hero is unstable, and if that Hero declares “I’m graduating—!”, then humanity has no choice but to manage on their own!

So, that’s why we made our rounds and returned home.

Even in this cold, our babies are completely fine.

Ah, could it be…?

Mmm, it’s me!!

“So it was Ignite after all.”

It’s me, having returned from Spice to Shogo.

Peeking under the stroller, a red Grimoire was attached, radiating warmth.

It’s a truly grateful Grimoire in winter.

“I was listening from the shadows today—… but stories of young people’s romance really are good for your health—”

“Whoa, we have a wife in her mid-twenties already feeling like an old lady.”

“Ehh—! Teens and twenties are completely different—!!”

“From my perspective, Mashiro is still plenty young too.”

“Eh, really—? Well, but somehow, even if someone calls me young, I don’t feel that happy about it yet… Mom would be happier, though.”

“There’s a sense you understand as you get older. For the record, I don’t feel happy being called young either.”

“But Mr. Shogo, you have Little Spice’s form, so you can always become young again, right—!”

Now that you mention it, that’s true…!!

And so, it’s the return home of a husband and wife who breathed in some refreshing air.

On the way, a Uber Eats delivery person had come to the Throne Angel’s house.

After Uber left, a hand stretching smoothly from the door collected the delivered food.

A new type of mysterious phenomenon, perhaps?

I’m too worried about their lack of exercise.

Mashiro hurriedly ran inside.

And she’s tossing bread into the freezer one after another.

Impulse buys, huh.

As for me, I took the little ones from the stroller and removed their cold-weather gear.

The fluffy bundles transform into chubby bundles.

And I placed them in the crib.

“Wah-gyaa”

Whoops, Homura started crying!

This must be a diaper situation from while we were moving outside?

Mmm, I’ll handle this one

“Wait, wait. The period where you can change diapers is limited. Let me do it sometimes. It’s a father’s privilege.”

Nuuoooh, Master, this is tyranny

Ignite, resisting with a mukii, was rolled up and tied with a string.

He’s thrashing on the floor, going muu muu.

Ignite is usually calm, but it seems he gets worked up when it comes to Homura!

That’s good, that’s good.

He’s the genuine Master who can take care of her from the very first place she was born~. I totally understand the feeling.

Over here, Marinna, who has completely settled down since starting to take care of Minato.

She nonchalantly finished changing Minato’s diaper.

With their diapers refreshed, our little ones are all smiles.

They treated us to baby talk that seemed like impressions from their walk—”daa,” “uuu,” and such.

Ahh, just hearing this makes me feel like today was a good day.
