“I’m home, Koumei-san!”

“Meow♪”

Fluffing, Emma clings to Koumei’s neck and enjoys the soft fur.

Koumei always welcomes her like this whenever they return from the academy.

It becomes a daily routine, just like in their student years when Koumei was waiting for Minato to come home at the house’s front gate.

The gatekeeper, who was scared of the big cat at first, was also touched by the cat’s action and gently looked over Koumei, who only try to open the door when Emma and the brothers come home.

“Welcome back.
Young Masters, Young Lady.”

The gatekeeper greets them grinningly, but the three siblings go “Uwehhh,” and their faces crumpled.

“Grandpa Evan, please stop calling us that way, I beg of you-“

(*T/N: Grandpa here doesn’t mean he is their grandpa, it’s just a way to call senior citizens)

“Hohoho, you are all Young Masters and Young Lady from my perspective.”

The past middle age gatekeeper with conspicuous gray hair denies the siblings’ protest while locking the door properly.

The gatekeeper was born a noble, but then, his territory management stopped functioning.
While he was living like a homeless, the Stuart House took him in.
It’s been 10 years since then.

He used to work as Arban’s coachman in the royal capital, but as he got older, taking care of horses became harder to do, so he had been nervous whether he would be dismissed from his position anytime soon.

“Evan-san, can you be the gatekeeper for us?”

Arban said it so lightly, so Evan thought that he only bought a small house.
He delightfully accepted as he was happy that he could still work, but…

“…um…that… to be the gatekeeper of such a big mansion… is a little…”

Seeing the mansion he was guided to, Evan trembled.

The job he thought was only to keep the house safe from kids’ pranks turned out to be guarding a mansion that could only be targeted by an organization-level attack.

“It’s okay! We have cats at home.”

Leonard, who exchanged places with Arban and came to the royal capital, said so reassuringly.

From Evan’s position… “So what!?” he couldn’t help but retort in his heart.
Still, he got totally convinced after seeing the real thing.

Is that something you can call a cat…

The figure snuggling to Emma in front of him is definitely that of a cat, but it’s so… huge.

Nevertheless, it wasn’t long for Evan to get used to Koumei, who knows the time when the children will come back and diligently wait for them in front of the door.
He doesn’t hate fluffy things.

・・・

“Koumei-san, let’s take a nap?”

The cat happily replies to Emma.

“Meow~”

Koumei follows behind Emma, who’s pointing at the big hammock in the garden as the weather has gotten warmer.

She came back with something strange slightly attached to her, but there’s no problem.

I’ve cleansed it off with a meow.

“?? It looks like my stomach started to calm down! I have a feeling I can eat dinner tonight.”

Emma mutters while being wrapped by the cat’s body on a hammock.

“Meow~”

Hoping that she could continue to take her favorite nap with her favorite Minato forever, the cat wraps Minato gently and swears she will always protect her with a meow.

Author’s note: The fluff’s been lacking, so here’s Koumei-san‘s appearance in a long while.

Translator’s note: This is so cute and so heavy at the same time
