Capítulo 1072: Responsibility

“Papa… Ru-nii?” The boy said, slightly confused as he stared at my face and fondled my cheeks in the process. His innocent eyes trying to memorize it.

After descending from the peak, we’re now in our rented cabin. While Minoru and I sat before a fireplace, Miwa-nee was having a good fit of laughter nearby while dotingly looking at the two of us.

She’s preparing another tea for us to drink because it’s still too cold.

We got out of those thick hiking gears, after all. We couldn’t continue wearing it when we’re supposed to rest here.

Anyway, after what we did right in front of the boy earlier, even if it would leave him a little confused, I told him that I would be his father from now on…

It’s not full disclosure of the secret yet. In consideration for his young mind that wouldn’t be able to fully digest everything, this was enough.

And thankfully, he’s a little welcoming of the idea.
