Superhuman Delusional – Are You Able to Live a Daily Life？ 172

Chapter 172 – Visiting My Hometown

◈

“Son~ Mom and Dad are back~.”

It was almost dinner time when Father and Mother returned from grocery shopping.

As soon as Mother got home, she immediately started cooking.

“I bought lots of meat, your favorite, so look forward to it.”

Humming a tune, Mother added water, vegetables, more meat, and seasoning to the meat soup she had already made.

While Mother was cooking, Father came to my room and gently tapped my shoulder.

“Rent.”

“Yes?”

“Come here for a moment.”

Father called me out to the living room and asked in a very small voice near my ear.

“…Are you dating someone? Or is there someone you have feelings for?”

He asked a question that parents would be very curious about.

“They’re all nice and good girls… Who does our son like?”

Father… I’m already dating three of them at the same time.

I couldn’t say that right now.

As Ninya said last time, it’s best to just create a plausible atmosphere for now.

I whispered quietly in Father’s ear.

“They’re just precious colleagues for now, Father.”

“…’For now’ means you have feelings, right?”

“Isn’t it strange not to have any feelings when all three of them are so nice and pretty?”

“That’s true… So, who does our son like the most? I like that girl named Noah.”

Noah?

“Why?”

“…She’s lively like your mother was when she was young. Back then, your mother was really lively and… very cute. Of course, she’s much more lovely now…”

I unintentionally heard Father’s love story about Mother.

But if it was when Mother was young… she would have been lively like Noah, but… wouldn’t the direction be different?

Noah is a playful kind of lively, but Mother would be more… fierce and action-oriented lively.

“You have no idea how lovely your mother was when she was young. Of course, she’s still beautiful now… Especially, she’s usually reliable, but when it’s just the two of us, she’s really…”

At this rate, Father’s love story about Mother wouldn’t end.

“Father.”

“How lovely… Huh? What is it, son?”

“When I really have a problem, I’ll consult with you, so please don’t ask me now.”

“Really? Okay. Then tell me anytime when you have a problem.”

“Okay.”

Father finished talking to me and approached Mother, who was cooking in the kitchen.

“Honey~ Is there anything I can help you with?”

“Oh, you. Please taste this.”

“Taste? Okay. Ahh~.”

“Oh my, you’re still the same as before, here, ahh~.”

Mother giggled and brought the spoon to Father’s mouth.

Somehow, our Mother and Father are still very much in love.

As their child, there are many cringeworthy moments, but I’m very happy.

And when the meat soup was ready, Mother called us.

“Son~ and colleagues~ Dinner’s ready~.”

“Oh my, you can drop the honorifics with me, you know.”

Ninya said to Mother again with a bright smile.

“Oh my, is that so? I’m not used to it yet.”

“It’s okay. You’ll get used to it gradually.”

Mother placed the meat soup for us on the table.

There was even more meat than at lunch.

The delicious and rich aroma of meat rose from the soup.

It looked very delicious.

Now that our meal was ready, it was my turn to let Father and Mother eat the Orc Champion Steak.

I created chairs and a table with mana weapons for Father and Mother to sit at.

“Father, Mother. Sit here.”

“Son? Why did you make new ones? Even if there are many people, six of us can eat at our table.”

There was a reason why I made a separate table and chairs.

“Father, I told you I brought food for you and Mother to eat, right?”

“You did.”

“That food is so delicious that you’ll eat it all up, so it’s better to sit separately.”

The Fox’s Rest table is quite large, so it’s okay, but if six people sit together at our regular home table and eat greedily, our arms might bump into each other.

“Is that so? How delicious is it?”

“Oh my, even if it’s delicious, we wouldn’t eat greedily with guests here.”

Father tilted his head, and Mother waved her hand and said.

“I’ll take it out, so please sit down first.”

Father and Mother sat on the chairs I made.

“Oh my, it’s soft.”

“It’s better than our chairs at home. Son, can we keep this?”

“It disappears if I’m about 30 meters away.”

“I see…”

Father was very disappointed.

And I took out the long-awaited Orc Champion Steak in front of Father and Mother.

The Orc Champion Steak, still warm and golden brown from being in the inventory.

I placed the cutlery I received from Kevin with it as a set and said to Father and Mother.

“Enjoy your meal.”

Mother and Father widened their eyes as they looked at the steak.

“Gulp.”

Mother swallowed her saliva.

“Oh, it looks incredibly delicious…”

Father stared at the steak with sparkling eyes.

“It’s really incredibly delicious, so try it.”

“O, okay…”

Father and Mother simultaneously picked up their cutlery, cut a piece of steak, and… simultaneously put it in their mouths.

Munch munch.

“”…!? “”

And the moment they put it in their mouths and chewed a few times, Father and Mother’s expressions froze for a moment, and they quickly moved their hands, greedily cutting the next piece of steak to eat.

It was just like when we first ate the Orc Champion Steak.

“Mother, Father, is it delicious?”

Nod nod nod nod nod!

At my question, Mother and Father simultaneously shook their heads quickly and started focusing on eating again.

They seem to genuinely enjoy it, I’m glad.

With a happy heart, I sat down at my seat and said to Elsie, Noah, and Ninya.

“Then let’s eat too.”

“Yes.”

“Okay!”

“Let’s.”

I put the meat soup that Mother made into my mouth.

The delicious taste of meat was richly infused, making it very delicious.

When we had eaten about two-thirds of the meat soup at our usual pace.

Father and Mother, who had been eating the steak quickly, finished the steak and were staring blankly upwards.

After eating, I asked Father and Mother.

“How was it?”

“…Delicious. The meat I’ve eaten so far… wasn’t meat.”

“Son… This is the most delicious food I’ve ever had in my life.”

“Right? It’s hard to eat even in Pladan. It’s a food that even nobles are eager to eat.”

“N, nobles are eager to eat… That’s for sure. It’s so delicious…”

“You brought such food for us to eat?”

“Of course. I ate it very deliciously, so I wanted Mother and Father to taste it too.”

At my words, Mother and Father seemed moved, with tears welling up in their eyes.

“Oh my, our filial son…”

“Dad, I’m touched…”

After that, we cleaned up the remaining dishes.

I tried to help, but Father and Mother smiled brightly and told us to rest comfortably.

So, we were all in my room now.

“I’m so glad Rent’s parents were happy.”

“Hehehe, the Orc Champion Steak is incredibly delicious.”

“How about letting them eat it again next time we have a chance to catch an Orc Champion? Even if it’s not steak, we can ask Kevin to make it into a different dish.”

Ninya made a very good suggestion.

“That’s a good idea.”

After all, we decided to catch Orcs in large quantities once a month.

The Orc Champion is found about once a month, so if we’re lucky, we can let Mother and Father eat delicious Orc Champion dishes again.

Of course, there are still a few chunks of Orc Champion meat in my inventory, but even if I give this to Mother, she’s not a professional chef like Kevin, so it would be difficult to bring out the best taste.

If possible, I want them to eat the most delicious dish possible.

And 20 minutes later.

While we were talking among ourselves, Noah said.

“Let’s take out the beds now. We should get ready to sleep.”

“Shall we?”

In a rural village, bedtime is usually early unless it’s time to make babies.

And even if we stay up late, Father and Mother are home, so we can’t make love carelessly.

Unlike the Fox’s Rest, our house doesn’t have very good soundproofing.

When I was young, I could hear the sounds of Mother and Father making love, though they were faint.

Just as I was about to take out the bed from my inventory, Father came into my room.

“Son…”

“Huh? Father, what is it?”

“Can you come here for a moment?”

“Again?”

I followed Father and went back to the living room.

“Why, Father?”

Father whispered to me again in a small voice.

“Rent… Where are you going to sleep tonight?”

“Well, at our house.”

“Those kids too?”

“Yeah. I brought a bed in my inventory, so if I put one in my room, there will be enough space.”

Father blinked his eyes and asked.

“Rent, are you going to sleep with those kids?”

I would have done that normally, but not today.

“I can just sleep on the floor with a blanket. You know I’m fine sleeping like that for one night.”

Father waved his hand.

“Oh, no, our precious son can’t sleep on the floor… Besides, even if you brought one bed, those kids might be uncomfortable. Re, Rent, you know Shima’s place, right?”

“Of course, I know. It’s the only inn in our village. It’s more of a drinking place for the uncles than an inn.”

Since it’s a rural village, there aren’t many travelers, and the customers are mostly the adults from the same village.

Mostly, the village uncles have drinking parties at the inn, and when they’ve finished drinking and are tired, they use it to sleep.

The reputation is good because the husbands who get drunk come back in the morning, having slept at the inn instead of home, so they are somewhat sober when they face their wives.

Of course, they charge for a night’s stay.

For reference, when our Father comes home after drinking, he immediately comes home and acts cute or affectionate with Mother.

The number of times he says “I love you” increases tenfold.

The number of times he says “I love you” to his son also increases tenfold.

“Yeah, but there’s no drinking party today… And since everyone has their own room, wouldn’t it be comfortable for you to sleep there?”

Father fidgeted with his fingers and glanced at me.

Something’s suspicious.

“Father.”

“Yes, son.”

“What’s the real reason?”

“…Well, actually, there’s the food our son brought.”

“Yeah.”

“It’s incredibly delicious and seems to be really good for the body. After eating it, I feel like my body is overflowing with energy. My heart seems to be beating faster than usual.”

“Ah, I felt that too.”

When you eat something incredibly delicious, you feel full of energy.

“So, I’m really happy to see our son, and I want to sleep at home with you for the first time in a while, but… I want to be alone with your mother today…”

…Ah~.

I understand.

Today might be the day my sibling is born.

“Father, I understand. I’ll sleep at Shima’s inn with everyone today.”

“Oh, really? Hehehe… Th, thank you, son.”

Father and Mother are going to have a happy time after eating delicious food, so how can I, as their child, interfere?

I went into my room and said to everyone.

“Sorry, let’s sleep at the inn in our village today.”

“Huh? Why?”

When Noah tilted his head and asked, I gently put my palms together and said.

“Because Father and Mother need some precious time together.”

“Ah~.”

“Ah…”

“Hehe…”

Not only Noah but also Elsie and Ninya seemed to understand the meaning of my words.

“W, well, then it can’t be helped.”

“Yeah, yeah, then it can’t be helped.”

“Your mother and father are really close.”

“Hahaha…”

I think so myself, but it’s a bit embarrassing to hear it from Ninya.

I went to the living room and said to Mother in the main room.

“Mother, we’re going to sleep at Shima’s inn.”

“Oh my, are you? You should stay home since you came all this way. Ah, but the others might be uncomfortable sleeping at our house. Then it can’t be helped.”

Mother made up excuses for us in a rapid-fire manner and waved her hand.

Mother, it’s obvious on your face that you’re blushing and smiling.

We said our goodbyes to Father and Mother at the door for the night.

“Then we’ll be going, Mother.”

“Okay, our son~ See you tomorrow~ You all sleep well~.”

“Sleep well, son! You all… sleep well!”

“Yes, good night.”

“Good night!”
“Have a good time.”

Ninya winked, and Mother and Father turned their gazes away, feeling awkward.

“Oh my, oh my…”

“Ha, haha…”

And we headed to Shima’s inn.
