Big Family and Head Smacking

“Pheww……..”

Kisei cheerfully exhaled as he walked through the corridor. He had just come out from the bath and his hair was still wet. The old woman urged him to take a bath while they were preparing the meal so he took the chance to wash his pilot suit and change into a more comfortable dark blue yukata.

“I’m done with the bath—.”

Saying so, Kisei opened the sliding door to the living room. Even though it is called a living room, it’s dozens of tatami mats wide. If anything, it might be more accurate to describe the room as a lounge of a traditional Japanese inn or hot spring. However, just as the room is large, there are also a lot of people inside, more than a dozen in fact. The age groups are quite varied from elderly to toddler. These people are the family that lives in this house.

“Ahh, you’re back. How was the water?”

A young petite man spoke to him with a smile. His name is Shizuro, the only adult man in the family. He is the husband of the young woman who greeted Kisei and Saki at the entrance.

“It was great. I mean, it’s my first proper bath in a while. Thank you very much for this.”

Kisei replied with a smile. He then sat down in the corner of the room as urged by Shizuro. All eyes in the room are directed toward Kisei. He is a little uncomfortable by all the gazes but it can’t be helped so he waved at them a little with a bitter smile. He did receive some squealing noises in return though.

“Sorry about this. They can be a little noisy. There aren’t many men in the village you see. Everyone always gets excited when a beauty like you visits.”

“Hahaha…..thank you.”

Being called a beauty, Kisei laughs with an awkward expression. He wasn’t too happy being referred to like that. if he has to be honest, he would rather be described as a cool person instead.

“Nee, Nee, Nii-chan, Nee-chan!”

While he was chatting with Shizuro, three girls ran up to Kisei and Saki with loud footsteps. Their appearance looked like they are still elementary schoolers and all three of them had similar faces. As it’s pretty normal for Vulds to birth twins or triplets, these children are probably one as well.

“Wh, What is it?”

While being taken aback a little by their enthusiasm, Kisei managed to answer.

In return, the girls smiled and asked him a question.

“Nii-chan, where did you come from?”

“That’s some difficult question huh……..Before I came here I think I was in—…..”

“You’re wide open!”

“Guoh!”

The two remaining girls suddenly tackled Kisei who was thinking about how to answer them. He couldn’t even prepare himself so he was pushed down on the tatami mats and mounted by the girls. In the meantime, Shizuro tried to stop them in panic but he couldn’t do much either.

“OOH, so it feels like this.”

“Uheheheh, your skin is so smooth!”

“So nice!”

“S, Stop it!”

Although they are only children, they are still Vuld. Even as an adult Terran male, Kisei can’t resist the children’s physical strength. Albeit being below average in terms of physical strength himself, he couldn’t shake out of their restraint even after he tried with all his might.

“Stop that!”

However, the three children were easily stopped by two young women who stood up to help him. In a blink of an eye, the children were lifted off Kisei and they were all smacked in the head.

“D, Domestic violence…….!”

Kisei was terrified by the sudden violence. Judging from the sound alone, they should have hit the children with enough strength to knock out an adult Terran male. Still, aside from their teary eyes, they seem perfectly fine. As he expected, Vuld’s physical ability is truly terrifying.

“I, I’m so sorry for them! Hey, apologize to him, quick!”

“We’re sorry!.”

The girls’ apology earned a bitter smile from Kisei. After telling them that they shouldn’t do something like that again, he immediately forgave them. From Kisei’s perspective, it only looked like the children were trying to play with him so he can’t get angry at them anyway.

However, knowing that the children were fully intent on molesting him, the young women repeatedly apologized to Kisei with a pale expression.

“We are truly sorry about the kids.”

“I will make sure to admonish them properly so…..”

“Please, I don’t mind, they’re only children after all.”

Kisei’s words were casual. Compared to the MPs who demanded a hug in exchange for letting him pass, this much is nothing at all.

“By the way, are you two the mothers of those children?”

“Yes, well, in a sense.”

“It wasn’t us who gave birth to them but our elder sister.”

Kisei awkwardly nodded to the reply from the two women. They are probably married to Shizuro as well. From a Terran’s perspective, this kind of family is certainly strange. However, with that out of the way, he can now understand why there are so many children in the room. After all, If he has to count the three girls earlier, there are more than 10 children in this room alone.

“I see. Well, as you can see, I’m a Terran. It’s my first time to be in the care of a Vuld family like this so it’s kind of an eye-opening experience for me you see.”

“Hee…..is this kind of family unusual on earth?”

“My place is, well, I only have one elder sister. Even after counting my parents, I think we only have 4 people total in the whole family. I just thought that it’s amazing to have a big family like this.”

“4 people!? Th, That’s certainly a small family isn’t it…….”

The woman was both confused and surprised. From the perspective of a Vuld, who normally shares various kinds of housework among sisters, a normal Terran household certainly seems strange to them.

They seemed to be interested in the topic and started asking Kisei a lot of questions.

After that, the cross-cultural exchange continued until they finished their dinner.
