I Just Wanted a Quiet Life, but I Keep Getting Stuck Raising Kids

As a marginal member of a mid-sized sorcerer clan, Mochizuki Arashi only wants to live an ordinary life, marry and have children in due course, and become one small, unremarkable face in the crowd.

But things rarely go as people wish. Through a series of coincidences, he skipped over dating, marriage, and childbirth, jumping straight to experiencing the "joys" of being a dad who gives birth.

As a child:

As a marginal member of the clan, he endured cold stares and unfair treatment from an early age. At a banquet hosted by a sorcerer clan, he happened to meet the Six Eyes of the Gojo family, who had stepped outside for some air. Mochizuki Arashi had only dared to watch from afar, but faced with such a powerful ally, he hugged that thigh without hesitation, doing everything he could to please and ingratiate himself. As he and Gojo Satoru gradually grew closer, he slowly took on the role of caring for him. But as Mochizuki Arashi settled into that role, he overlooked the possessiveness growing ever stronger in those azure eyes.

At Jujutsu High:

While on a mission in Yokohama, he saved a boy with black hair and amber eyes from a cursed spirit. The boy was filthy from head to toe and looked at Mochizuki Arashi with such a pitiful expression that Arashi, who had meant to send him to an orphanage, was inexplicably moved to adopt him. Determined to take responsibility for the boy, he failed to notice the triumphant smile on his face.

After starting work:

He became partners with the person he had idolized as a child. One day, while discussing business with him, he opened the door and found a tiny toddler with short arms and legs balancing on a stool, wobbling as he prepared dinner. The toddler's little face was so solemn that he looked both pitiful and adorable. His biological father was irresponsible, and since raising one child was no different from raising two, Mochizuki Arashi brought Fushiguro Megumi home. Reassured by how sensible Megumi was, Arashi was completely swept up in his feelings as a doting father, and overlooked those hands clutching him as though he were a lifeline.

One day in the future, Mochizuki Arashi will escape his role-playing as a dad who gives birth and try to get his life plans back on track. But after one disastrous matchmaking date after another, he will be forced to discover the true nature of the "children" in his eyes.

Mochizuki Arashi: You little brats!
