“What?! You weren’t pregnant!”

…Rika’s mother, Yamaga-san, said in a surprised tone.

We nodded.

“I had it checked at Suwa Medical University, but you weren’t pregnant.”

“No way… I was sure you were having a baby…”

Yamaga-san seemed a little disappointed.

Maybe she was thinking she might have a grandchild.

“But you hadn’t had your period for about a month, right?”

“Yeah. But it doesn’t seem like that was because I was pregnant. My mental state had changed, so it might have been the effect.”

When Rika said “changed,” she was referring to the fact that she had been dating me and had even had s*x with me after that.

“I see… that’s true. It’s a bit disappointing.”

“Disappointing… won’t you get mad?”

“Huh? Why? It’s a celebration, right?”

“Yeah… but if a high school student gets pregnant… there’s the issue of how people look at us…”

Yamaga-san smiles and pats Rika’s head.

“I don’t care about public opinion. If Rika is happy, if that’s what Rika wants, I won’t reject it.”

“Mom…”

Rika hugged her mother tightly.

“If that’s what you want, and Shinji is ready, I won’t stop you! Even if you’re in high school. If anyone says anything about it… I’ll beat them up!”

…Yamaga-san puts her daughter first, she’s a really good mother, I thought.

Ding dong…

At that moment, the doorbell rang.

“Oh, I’m getting tired.”

Dahlia headed for the front door.

And then…

“What the hell is this!”

Dahlia screamed. W-what’s going on?

I headed for the front door with Rika and the others…

“What are these flowers?!”

Yes, there were so many wreaths delivered that I wondered which celebrity they were addressed to.

The moment I saw the words [Congratulations on the Birth]…

I realized.

“…Saburo, Grandpa. Those two idiots…”

The only ones who know about this are the Niekawa and Ekawa brothers.

There’s no way Jirota would let it slip…

That makes the line from Saburo to the main family’s Grandpa clear.

…Yeah, this is a time for a lecture.
