Housewives talk
[-x-x-x-]
"I'm off. See you this afternoon." Maki waved at her wife and her daughter. She was going to the hospital where she works as usual.
"Have a nice trip." Hanayo waved back.
"See you later, Mom." Rin cheered.
The working wife entered the car and went her way to her workplace.
Once the vehicle was out of sign, the brunette took their daughter inside. "Come on, Rin-chan. Let's prepare for school."
"Roger!" The cat-girl smiled as they walked inside the Nishikino mansion.
The 10 years-old daughter ran upstairs toward her room and got there in no time. Her Mama went with her own pace and got there a moment later.
"Let us choose your outfit, then." The caring woman browsed through the closet.
Hanayo was a really caring Mama. She helped her daughter in many ways. She loved her family. She is a little shy, but will do anything for her wife and daughter.
Maki on the other hand is reliable. She is always there for her family. She taught Rin a lot. Rin even want to be like her when grown up.
Their daughter was energetic. She was always there to cheer when ether her parents were feeling down. She respects her parents and doesn't know the meaning of embarrassed. She could kiss her Mama in front of all the school, and she wouldn't even be embarrassed.
"How about these?" The brunette took a yellow t-shirt and a red short from the closet. It was still in hot summer, so her daughter needed to dress in light clothing.
"Rin will like everything Mama will propose."
"Then, how about these sandals?" The older woman showed a pair of blue sandal with kitty design.
"They're so cute. Rin loves kitty."
"Then, let us dress up!" The housewife helped her daughter dressing up.
[-x-x-x-]
"I'm off!" Rin shouted.
The daughter ran out of the house and waved at her Mama. Hanayo smiled back at her. The ginger ran toward the house just in front of them and knocked the door.
"Nico-chan, Hurry up!" She yelled.
Second after, the door opened. Eli was about to exit their house when she heard Rin's call.
"Good morning, Rin! Are you here to call Nico?"
"Yep! We will be going to school together with Honoka-chan."
"That's great! She is almost ready. Nozomi is already done with dressing her up. She will be down in 2 minutes. How about you come in?" The blonde took one step back to let the ginger in.
Rin accepted the offer and walked inside the Ayase household.
"I will be going, then. Have a nice day, the three of you!" Eli exited the building after she took Rin toward the living room.
The cat-girl sat on the sofa. She was too short that her feet couldn't reach the floor. She got bored after 10 seconds and started kicking the air.
"Oh, Rin-chan... You're early today~" Suddenly, a familiar voice brought her attention toward the living room's door.
"Ah... good morning, Auntie Nozomi!" the ginger jumped away from the sofa.
Rin turned to the older woman and bowed. Nozomi smiled at her. A small figure was hiding behind the purple-haired woman. The energetic child recognized it instantly.
"Hello, Nico-chan! Let's go to school together!"
Nico fidgeted. She was trying to hide in her Mommy's skirt. She was really bad with outsider, even though she was friend with Rin for 3 years now.
"T-that's... I planed on going with Mommy..."
"Hein?" the cat-girl pouted. "Come on, Nico-chan... We will call Honoka-chan too! Auntie can go with you next time!" she added with a big smile.
The raven-haired shy child turned to Nozomi. The older woman smiled at her.
"You know, Rin-chan is right! I am sure that Eli-chi will be proud of you!"
These words were enough to give confidence to Nico. Her face lit at the mentioning of her Mama's name. She quickly ran back into her room and took her backpack.
She ran back and was ready before neither Rin nor Nozomi could react. She grabbed Rin's arm and led her toward the front door. The two of them turned to the purple-haired woman.
"We will be going, then!" Nico said with a stern tone.
"Have a nice trip~"
With that, the two Childs walked out of the house. Nico walked proudly, leading the way to the Sonoda's house. Rin was following her, a grin painting on her face.
"Nico-chan... You sure changes a lot at the mention of Auntie Eli~" the cat-girl teased.
Some shades of pink made their appearance the twin-tailed girl's face. "S-shut up!" she tried hard to ignore the younger girl's comment.
[-x-x-x-]
"Honoka-chan!" the energetic 10 years girl knocked on the Sonoda's domicile's door.
One second passed then two, then three... Rin lost patience and pressed the bell. She finally heard footsteps walking toward the main entrance.
The door opened slowly. Kotori smiled at the two girls. "Good morning, you two! Honoka is still eating breakfast. Please come in!" the amber-eyed woman took a step back and led the two girls in.
Honoka was still eating a pancake with milk and there were still bread, tea and toast on the table.
"You can sit in." The ash-haired woman gestured to the chairs by the blue-eyes child's near. The two accepted and tried to climb on the chair only to realize that they couldn't.
The chairs were too high. They tried to reach for it, but cutely failed. Kotori giggled at the spectacle. She then came closer and lifted them so they could sit on the chairs.
"Thank you, Auntie!"
"You're welcome~" Kotori said in a singing tone. She then placed two tea cups in front of their visitors and poured some tea in.
"T-thank you..." Nico returned into her shy personality.
That was when Honoka finally returned to her senses. She was so focussed on degusting her breakfast that she didn't hear her friend arriving.
"Oh... Nico-chan, Rin-chan... When did you?"
"W-we just got in..." Nico took a sip on her tea and took a biscuit from the plate.
"We came to pick you nya!" Rin cheered.
[-x-x-x-]
"We'll be going, then!" Honoka waved at Kotori and the two girls walked toward the school.
Their school was nearby; plus, they were living in a residential area so the Childs' safety was guarantied. That was why their parent didn't have to worry.
They arrived in front of Otonokizaka's gate and were greeted by some teachers. They knew two of them and stopped to have some chit-chat with them.
"Good morning, Alisa-sensei and Yukiho-sensei!" Rin started.
"Good morning, Rin-chan, Nico-chan and Honoka-chan!" their homeroom teacher greeted back. "You're full of energy as always as I can see."
"Yep!"
"OK. You better go ahead. Class is about to start in 20 minutes." The teal-eyes teacher explained.
"Roger that!" Honoka let the two others toward their classroom.
[-x-x-x-]
Class has started. The girls' class was having practice work. The teacher coached them on how to make origami. The class was divided in 2 groups of 5 persons.
Honoka, Nico, Rin, Erena and Anju were in one team. The most energetic took the lead.
"Let's make a cat!"
"A cat?" the auburn-haired girl questioned.
"Yes! Cats are cool, and they're cute!"
"But, Rin-chan... do you know how to make a cat origami?"
Anju's question took the ginger by surprise. She turned to Honoka for a support. The older girl just gave her an 'I don't know' smile.
"I guess we have no choice." Rin turned around the room. "Sensei!?"
With that, Alisa stood from her chair and walked toward the group's direction, a smile still glued in her face.
"Can you teach us how to do a cat origami?"
"Oh, that's simple! Let me help you!"
[-x-x-x-]
The last bell of the day rang. All the girls walked home. Most of their parents were waiting at the entrance. The 5 girls too were about to leave their classroom.
"Let's go home nya!"
"Sorry!" Anju commented. "We have to wait for our Mama and our Mommy to finish her job before going home."
"Mama? Is she a teacher here?" Honoka asked.
"Yes!" Erena replied. "Mama is a teacher from the class 3-A and Mommy is the secretary. We will go join her now."
"That's great nya!"
"Well then, see you Monday!"
That's right! It was Friday and they didn't have class Saturday and Sunday.
The smile trio exited the building and ran toward Honoka's place for a sleepover. They planed it since the day before and both parents agreed.
Meanwhile, Erena and Anju stepped inside the teacher's office. It was deserted, excepted for two women who were tidying the place.
"Mama, Mommy! Let's go home!"
"Right away!" Yukiho smiled at their daughters and took her handbag. She then turned to the secretary who was shutting her computer down.
"I am done! Let's go home!" Cocoa smiled and took her daughters' hand in hers.
With that, the four exited the school building. Everyone already went home. The sun is already settled. They smiled at each other.
"How about we go to the amusement park Sunday?" Cocoa proposed.
"Can we?" Anju cheered. "Honoka-chan and the others said they will be going there too!"
"That's great!"
"I want to spend more time with them too, just like I like spending time with Erena, Mama and Mommy too!"
With that, they opened their house's door and walked in.
