Back at the apartment, Renz glanced at Mashiro Shiina, who was still watching TV in the living room. After a moment's hesitation, he sat at the other end of the sofa, maintaining some distance, and asked, "Mashiro-san, why did you come to Japan?" He carefully chose his words.
Honestly, Renz felt that Erina should have found a female nanny to take care of Mashiro Shiina. It would have been better than him looking after this problematic girl, who seemed to have a lot of issues. Even if Erina managed to move in with him in a month to share the burden, taking care of Mashiro Shiina for this month was entirely a gamble on whether Renz's willpower was strong enough.
However, Erina wasn't someone whose plans were incomplete. Could it be that she intended to have Hisako Arato take care of Mashiro Shiina later, thus putting Hisako in a frantic state, and allowing Erina to carve out some private space for herself?
"I want to draw manga, so I came to Japan," Mashiro Shiina turned her head and looked directly at Renz. "Because Japan's manga industry is the best."
Although she had some issues with self-care, normal communication seemed fine. Renz made a judgment in his mind.
She was likely a mixed-race individual, just like Alice. Moreover, upon hearing the name, Renz gradually recalled some memories. After returning here, Renz would occasionally browse news on his phone to quickly reintegrate into his original life rhythm. He had stumbled upon Mashiro Shiina's name on a certain browser. She was rumored to be a world-class gifted oil painter, very famous in England, from a renowned artistic family of painters. She seemed quite famous even as a child. It was even said that "if she continues to paint like this, she will surely create oil paintings that will be passed down through generations."
However, manga seemed to be at the very bottom of the art world's hierarchy of contempt. While he couldn't understand Mashiro Shiina's reasoning, since it was something she wanted to do, Renz respected her decision and didn't inquire further.
"During this time, your cousin entrusted me with your care."
"Starting tomorrow, I'll be responsible for taking you to and from school," Renz simply stated. "So, there might occasionally be delays on LINE. If you have any problems, just call my number directly."
"It's getting late. Don't stay up late. Get some rest," Renz stood up, turned off the living room light, and walked to his room. Mashiro Shiina turned her head, refocusing her gaze on the TV screen, quietly watching. After about twenty minutes, she turned off the TV and went back to her room alone.
The clock kept ticking.
At 5:40 AM, Renz got up to wash up in the bathroom, then went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast for the day. In half an hour, two portions of breakfast were ready. He knocked on Mashiro Shiina's door. She didn't seem to be awake yet. Renz went to the living room and finished his own breakfast. Then he knocked on Mashiro Shiina's door again. She rubbed her eyes and opened the door.
"Why aren't you wearing clothes?" Renz said with a serious expression. This cousin of Erina's was not just problematic; she was very problematic.
"I don't know how," Mashiro Shiina shook her head, completely unaware of any issue. In England, her roommates always helped her. Renz took a deep breath. He might as well experience being a father again. He sighed.
"You need to do your own things. This time I'll teach you how to dress, and tomorrow you'll dress yourself. If you can dress yourself tomorrow, hmm⊠I'll reward you with a slice of cake," Renz mused. His third child, Mirai Nakiri, was raised this way. Rina was a tsundere, cunning, and clingy, while Haruki was calm and reliable. As his third child and daughter, Mirai Nakiri was the most spoiled child in the family. Unlike Rina, Mirai Nakiri was delicate from a young age, not very talkative, and only liked playing games alone. She would talk more only when speaking with her parents. She had a slight inferiority complex.
To care for this daughter, Renz always used a reward-based growth method, constantly encouraging Mirai Nakiri to grow up. He hadn't expected to be a "male mom" again before even getting married and having children. While helping Mashiro Shiina put on her clothes, he instructed her on how to button and how to put on clothes conveniently. Because he treated her as a child, Renz had no other distracting thoughts. At this moment, Renz understood why the [Life Simulator] didn't include her in the database: Mashiro Shiina couldn't even distinguish between sexes, so how could she have the concept of "liking" someone?
He helped Mashiro Shiina put on her inner clothes, then her school uniform, and finally her student stockings.
"You can put these on yourself, right?" Renz asked, pointing to the stockings. Mashiro Shiina shook her head.
"Put your foot in, then pull hard with your hand," Renz prompted. Mashiro Shiina paused, looked at Renz's demonstration, and tentatively put the stocking on her foot. With a slight tug, the stocking was on.
"Yes, Mashiro, you did great," Renz praised her in a tone used for small children. "Also, Mashiro, you need to understand that boys and girls are different."
"You need to keep a certain distance from boys. You should only have close conversations with boys you like."
He started with some easy-to-understand words, as Renz worried Mashiro Shiina wouldn't comprehend more complex content. "If anyone bullies you at school, come home and tell Dad⊠I mean, brother-in-law. I'll help you teach them a lesson," Renz said, suddenly halting before maintaining a smile.
Damn it. While taking care of Mashiro Shiina, he couldn't help but miss his own children.
Just like this. He hoped nothing would change. Please let Rina and Haruki be born safely into this world! Thinking of this, Renz subtly changed the subject. "Breakfast is ready. Come out and eat."
"Okay," Mashiro Shiina walked towards the living room. She stared at the exquisitely prepared breakfast on the table, her eyes gleaming slightly. She took a bite. "Mmm, delicious."
Renz smiled.
Of course. Breakfast was the most important meal. He had cooked breakfast for his wife and children for over twenty years.
While Mashiro Shiina ate breakfast, Renz instinctively began tidying Mashiro Shiina's room. It was as messy as Mirai Nakiri's room. He tidied up the scattered panties on the floor. After cleaning, Renz closed the room door. The next part of his schedule involved taking Mashiro Shiina to school and then going to school himself to improve his academic performance. In the afternoon, he had to report to the student council, and on the weekend, he awaited Erina's God's Tongue judging panel to rate his cooking.
However, according to the world line, he had also been a streamer and video creator for a period of time. Renz was quite concerned that his actions might interfere with the normal progression of the world line, so he planned to use his free time to create some cooking videos. This would also help him gain more recognition in the culinary world.
