Shinjurou opened the door as he then entered his own house. He just returned from Kamado Bakery since he was carrying a paper bag full of breads.
"Aniue, what should we do!?"
Shinjurou just heard his youngest son's voice, and it looks like he was in distress. He quickly rushed towards the living.
"Senjurou, what's go- Oh no!"
Shinjurou's eyes widened in shock. His two sons, Kyoujurou and Senjurou stood over a broken vase in the living vase. That vase is one of Ruka's favorite, she got it as a gift from her friend who lives in Italy.
"What have both you done!?" Shinjurou was panic.
"Calm down, dad! It was just accident! Senjurou and i was busy cleaning and-" Kyoujurou tried to explain.
"No time for talking! Quick cleaning the mess before your mom returns!" Shinjurou ordered, his hands tightly gripped on Kyoujurou's shoulders.
Shinjurou bited his own nails in fear. Ruka's favorite vase had just broken, how should he explain it to her?
...
"Did you know that that vase is your mother's favorite vase?" Shinjurou asked both of his sons.
Kyoujurou and Senjirou nodded in unison. They sat opposite of their father in the living room.
"If she finds out that her vase is broken, she will transform into Godzilla and kill us all!" Shinjurou was distressed.
"Godzilla?" Kyoujurou raised his eyebrows.
"Oh, i mean your mother will get really mad, that's all"
"Can we just tell mom the truth?" Senjurou suggested.
"No, son! Don't try to tell your mom about this! We can't let her finds out!" Shinjurou refused.
"But it's bad if we lied to mom" Kyoujurou said.
"You know that mother is hot-tempered person sometimes" Shinjurou sighed. "Don't worry, children. Just listen to me and-"
"Dear, i'm hoooooome!"
The three of them mentally froze. Ruka just returned home after bought some groceries.
"Oh no, she's here! Quick, act like nothing happened!"
"But, dad-"
"Shhhhhhh..." Shinjurou silenced Senjurou.
"Eh?"
Ruka just stared silently at the three of them.
"Oh, hey dear, it's really hot outside, right?" Shinjurou gave her a fake smile. Kyoujurou and Senjurou meanwhile were speechless.
"Yeah..."
Shinjurou noticed Ruka eyed towards every side of the living room, making his forehead sweated heavily. He hoped his wife didn't suspect anything.
"Okay, i want go to kitchen" Ruka said she went to the kitchen.
"Phew..." Shinjurou wiped his forehead. "Luckily she didn't suspect anything"
