Now we're gonna play house.

　When Hazuki had finished drawing me and Uzuki - with a look of satisfaction on his face at the praise - the next thing he suggested was another standard girl's game.

'Hey, Oka-san,'
Okay.

Manny, Otto.
Oh, yeah.

　While answering casually, however, I was thinking back to Hazuki's situation.

　The Sakrai sisters' parents died of an epidemic disease early in life.
　The little Hajduki must have had very little memory of them.
　It must have been a very lonely time for them.

I was raised by my grandparents, who also lost their parents when I was young, so I know exactly how Hazuki feels...

　Of course, Uzuki and Gunma-san would have been more than enough to take his place.
　Still, there was no way Hajduki wasn't lonely.

　No matter how sincerely the people around him tried to fill up the gap in his heart, that corner of his heart would never be filled.

'I feel that gap in my heart when I suddenly feel a gap in my heart...'
　When I saw Hazuki say that he wanted me to be his mother and father--

Yes.
　I got into my stride.

"Watch me, Hajduki. I'll play the best father and fill in the gaps in your heart as much as possible...!
　The problem is that I'm not just a dad, I'm a dad-serious virgin who's never even had a girlfriend before that.

'That's like a straw house of three little pigs that will blow and fly before my current burning sense of mission!
　And that's why there are so many cheats for situations like this.

Theatrical S-Class Cheats, 'Best Actor in a Leading Role in an Academy', invoked!
　In the category of acting, I unreservedly invoke the most powerful and invincible absolute cheat.

It's only a trick, but it's just a trick...!
　I'm not going to cut any corners for Hazuki.
　Come on, trick or treating!

All right, Dad, I'll do my best.
You're very good, Mr. Sayre!　No, that's great, Sayah Dad!

　Uzuki was just as motivated as I was.

　Mmmm, it's good, isn't it?

　I'll fill in the gaps in your heart that girls usually don't show, but I'll gently and subtly fill in the gaps in your heart that they usually don't show--.
　This is the kind of heart-warming, heart-centered romantic comedy event I've been looking for, this kind of tender heart-to-heart contact time...!

　--There was a time when I thought so too.

And Hajduki, Oisha-san.

...What? ...What?
　Me and Uzuki's voice hummed beautifully at the sudden words.

　We both nod our heads, not understanding the meaning.

'Um, Hajduki?　Now we're gonna play house, right?　Why are you a doctor?
　It's no wonder I couldn't help but ask myself that.

"Save your life, save your life, work, and have patience.
Yeah, well...

Father, mother, and mother-in-law.
The daughter-in-law...?　Oh, the midwife....

So, mother, please sleep.
　At the urging of the midwife Hazuki, Uzuki lay down on her back on the futon.

"Give me your foot, please, oka-san.
　Uzuki did as he was told and placed his feet on top of the boxes that were prepared on either side of the futon.

　Inevitably.
Well, um... uh...

　Now Uzuki had to lie down and adopt a posture with her legs up and open - which meant that her skirt was in full view.

　But Midwife Hazuki's intellectual quest did not end like this.

'Then I'll take it off,'
What--?

　If it's too early to tell, Hajduki didn't hesitate to pull Uzuki's pants down to his knees--!

'Oh, um!　Isn't this an important part of the picture!
"?　I won't know until I see it.

Because it looks like Seya, too!
I'm not going to lie.

'No, I'm not so sure about that...'
'And yet, Mr. Sayre!　Are you staring at me very intently?

'No, I mean, yes...'
Hmmm....

All that is... All that is...
"Hey, Hazuki!　Like I said, that's seriously bad, so let's not do that!

Mugu.
　I held Hazuki's mouth and somehow managed to get out of it.

　And while we were having this conversation.
　Uzuki was shivering the whole time, but he was trying his best to endure the shame of having his bottom half exposed for Hajduki's sake.

'The fact that you're wearing all of your clothes on top is another indescribable eroticism.....................

　The sight of Uzuki, desperately trying to hold back his embarrassment, stimulates my lewdness more than ever.
　It's not a bad habit to tease a girl and get off on it, and I'm on the verge of waking up to it.

　--And then.
　We played a peaceful game, with me as the adult, Uzuki as the adult, and Hajduki as the two children.

　I've always thought of Uzuki as a real mother, tenderly caring for a spoiled Hajduki.
