A vacation, huh? When was the last time I had a vacation? Not counting visiting mistresses, of course? I can't remember at once, to be honest, and now I have a lot of important things to do to spend time on some walks. But just looking into the begging eyes of one little red-haired gerbil, shining from the edge of the table, all the reasons to fight back were safely out of my head. I sighed heavily - still a little thing, but already managed to realize that Daddy can not stand such views and very quickly gives up.
- Well, why not go for a walk? - agreed with the female side of the family.
- Great, then a little wait until after lunch to prepare an appetizer and go for a walk, - blossomed a smile wife.
- Good for you," Saya smiled.
Shrugging, I silently finished my meal and reached for my mask as I was stopped by the girl's voice.
- And we'll go out in normal clothes, not in your work outfit, - Linley looked at me meaningfully.
- Aaa? What's wrong with my outfit? - I quickly glanced at the shirt and pants of dark gray color and made sure they were clean and in good condition.
- Because you're going out, not to work," the redhead frowned slightly.
- As you wish, - I did not want to argue on such a small matter, I thought for a couple of moments and turned to the owner of the house, - Ma, where are my clothes?
For some reason such a question caused a friendly sigh from the women.
- Don't worry, Ryo, I'll find something for you to wear," Nara waved her hand.
- I want to be beautiful too," her daughter quickly jumped into the conversation and smiled broadly.
- Don't worry, honey, you'll wear that red kimono with gold patterns that you like so much, or do you want to wear the yellow one? - Linley instantly perked up.
I turned to Ma and let the ragtag chatter drift past my ears.
- Then, since everything is decided, I'll go wash and cut my hair to the shoulder blades, to tidy it up a bit," I told her, "I should have done it a long time ago, but I haven't had time.
This length of hair is enough for any techniques, even if I suddenly need them in the near future, and the rest can be sacrificed - even braided, they start to get in the way, reaching to the middle of the thigh. Considering the fact that the last time I trimmed my hair was in the war, it's no surprise.
- Let's get the clothes on first, and then we'll do the head," Ma suggested, smiling slightly.
- All right," I agreed, getting up from the table, "you should have time to pick out something dressy yourself.
- Me?" she wondered.
- Yeah, well, if we're going out, we should all go together," I smiled, noting the way Linley frowned for a moment.
