The Two of Them ch101

p1
>>A good day for it...?

>Might you be Inuzuka-san's parents?

>Ah, yes. Then you must be Sakuma-san's...
>Erm, grandmother... Her mother?
>Ah, no, I'm actually...

>a housekeeper after her father's fortune.

p2
>No, you're
>not.

>Hello.
>Hello, hello.

>She's my wife's disciple who looked after her.
>Even after my wife passed away, she still helps out around the house.

>That's what Sensei asked me to do.
>I don't really have any relatives, after all.
>She didn't want to leave her husband all by herself.
>I see. So you've taken the place of Elly-san's mother...

>Not at all. Elly-chan had already grown independent before I arrived.
>Well, if I had to draw a comparison...

p3
>I'm like the one who took over Xuzhou during Liu Bei's absence,
>Lü Bu?
>No, you're
>not.

>My wife said she would adopt you as her child while she was still alive.
>Oh no. That would make it seem like I really am after your fortune.
>Both me and Elly have said we'd be okay with that.
>I still have my pride, y'know.
>Just getting a salary is more than enough.

>Sensei was
>my first love, after all.

p4
>...Eh?
>Ah, was that one... not a joke?

>...That's why you should just become part of our family.
>Even if my actual daughter did come home, I'd just kick her out.

>...Erm.

>So... um
>Elly-san's mother is...
>...That girl...

p5
>Honestly, she's such an unmanageable woman. She runs away from home at 17 and comes back with Elly in her stomach.
>And just as soon as she's given birth, she's off yet again chasing after guys somewhere.
>If she ever comes back, it's only because she wants money. When her mother had her funeral, all she did was send a single text. She always brings guys around when she meets up with her daughter...
>Let's leave it at that, dear.

>Ah.
>They're here.

p6
>Sorry we're late.

>...Wait.
>Elly-san, are you alright?
>A tracksuit...
>I kinda... pulled an all-nighter...
>I was cutting it close... in more ways than one...

>>A lot happened... and now they're happy.
