My name is Xia Ming. I woke up one day and found myself with an incompetent man and an adorable child.
Great. I’m very satisfied with this starting setup.
After using the most primitive means to secure absolute authority, I had an adorable child and a little detached house. In this world without zombies, I could look upon everything with love and acceptance, though there were a few minor troubles.
Day 1: Xiao Jie is so adorable.
Day 2: What do I do about the fact that my child always wants to play with ugly things?
Day 3: I get it. My child is lonely and wants siblings.
I decisively picked up a little dumpling. Xiao Jie let out a piercing shriek. Xiao Jie likes the little chocolate dumpling.
I’m such a great mom, so I picked up another little dumpling. Xiao Jie was happy. Xiao Jie accepted it. Xiao Jie said that was enough.
I was a little disappointed, because these little dumplings were truly adorable. But there was nothing I could do. A good mom listens to her child’s opinions, and besides, I was already very content with three little dumplings. Really.
Then I was happy again, because the children I raised started bringing other kids home too. Among them were abused twin sisters, a high schooler who had become young again, a brother and sister with a pretty-boy father, and so many, many little dumplings.
Happiness... contentment... I can still expand this house!
Suguru Geto knew from a young age that his mom was different from everyone else. Dad said Mom was sick, and that there was another person living inside her body.
But one day, Mom got better, though not completely.
Mom was a bit of a scatterbrain and was always bringing strange things home. She took in bruised apples no one wanted, broken toys that belonged to other people, and even other people’s children.
And then he got two incredibly dependable honor-student big brothers.
He liked having Mom at home. He loved this family with Mom, Rei-nii, and Hiromitsu-nii.
But Suguru Geto had a secret.
