“I’m home! Mom, make me short rib stew!”

“Short rib stew? Why short rib stew?”

“I bought 1++ A Korean beef short ribs!”

“Oh my, what’s the occasion? Did you win the lottery or some…thing?”

Yoo Si-hyun’s mother, full-time homemaker Yoo Saet-byeol, was taken aback.

It had been a while since her son said he was coming home, so she cleaned the house diligently and prepared delicious food, but the person who entered after entering the front door password wasn’t one man, but two women.

The first woman to confidently enter after opening the door was a black-haired, petite woman who looked quite familiar.

Seeing a face that looked very similar to her daughter’s or her own reflection in the mirror, Saet-byeol’s mind raced.

Behind her, a stylish blonde girl who looked familiar was carrying a lot of luggage and looking at her with a somewhat awkward and apologetic expression.

By the time she had taken a couple of breaths in and out, Saet-byeol was able to come to a conclusion.

That black-haired girl must be our eldest son! So this is why he only contacted me via text for almost two months!

“A…a son is a woman….”

“……”

“A son is a woman….”

“Ah, well, Mom… you see…”

So surprised by the conclusion she had reached and the reality before her eyes, Saet-byeol covered her mouth and took a couple of steps back.

Seeing her, the blonde girl, who was carrying a lot of luggage in both hands, reached out her hand.

“My son brought a woman home!!!!”

“Are you more surprised by that?!”

– Click

“What?!”

The door to the master bedroom opened, and Yoo Si-hyun’s father, Yoo Jeong-won, also came out.

He was surprised to see the two people standing in front of the door.

The cute black-haired girl looking at him as if he was pathetic was the first thing that caught his eye.

Before he even thought about how she resembled his daughter or wife, Yoo Jeong-won instinctively realized.

This kid is our son.

It must be the son who’s been holed up in his studio apartment for almost two months without even a phone call since he said he was going for a job interview.

A father’s maternal instinct, intuition, and experience allowed him to understand everything in less than a comma one second.

“It’s true! Yoo Si-hyun brought a woman home!”

Watching his mother and father make a fuss, Si-hyun calmly took off his shoes.

Only Spica was restless.

– Whoosh whoosh whoosh

“What?! Oppa brought a woman home?!”

From upstairs, Yoo Si-hyun’s younger sister, Yoo Da-on, also ran down the stairs.

And she saw two women she had never seen before standing in front of the door, and her parents were happy that her oppa had brought a girlfriend home.

No matter how she looked at it, there was no oppa, but they said her oppa brought a woman.

She wondered if her oppa, who was two-timing, was hiding somewhere else, but it didn’t seem like that either.

It was against common sense, but Da-on’s excellent intuition realized that the black-haired girl looked very similar to herself in the mirror she had been looking at just a moment ago.

She also realized that some of her oppa’s features remained.

The eldest daughter of the Yoo family, who was very knowledgeable about subculture due to her oppa’s influence, was able to come to a conclusion before long.

The truth is always one.

“Oppa became a woman!!”

“Yeah. That’s your oppa.”

“And he brought a woman who is carrying gifts in both hands and looking at Mom and Dad with a nervous expression!”

While glancing at Si-hyun’s family, who were clapping their hands and marveling at each other in joy and surprise, Spica whispered a question to Si-hyun.

“(Si-hyun-ssi. How are your family all able to recognize Si-hyun-ssi at a glance without any explanation?)”

“(Isn’t it because they’re family?)”

“(She changed into a woman, though?)”

“(Yeah. Because they’re family.)”

“(Aha.)”

Spica seemed to be amazed that Si-hyun’s family recognized Si-hyun, who had been turned into a woman, without any explanation.

Si-hyun wanted to explain it, but there was no way he could explain something he didn’t know well himself.

He couldn’t help but feel like she wouldn’t understand if he just said ‘one plus one is two’, but once he said it, Spica seemed to have understood something.

It didn’t seem like a very important matter, so it was quickly forgotten from Si-hyun’s mind.

“What’s your relationship?”

“How long have you been dating?”

“Where did you meet?”

“Can we go inside first?”

” ” “Come in, come in.” ” ”

“Excuse me….”

Si-hyun and Spica.

Successfully entered the Yoo family home with confidence!

——————————————————————————————————————————————-

“Should we eat first? Or have some tea? Or maybe…”

“Or maybe?”

“Should we leave you two alone?”

“Mom! What are you saying from the morning!”

“Ohohohoho.”

After a brief struggle, the five of them sat around the table.

The father and mother sat on one long side of the rectangular table, and Si-hyun and Spica sat on the other long side.

The younger sister brought a chair and sat on the short side near Si-hyun.

It seemed like an explanation should come first, so they decided to have a cup of tea first.

While the tea was steeping and refreshments were being prepared, Si-hyun took out the gifts that Spica had brought.

“Alright, alright. Before we start explaining, we’ll have our darling’s gift-giving time.”

” ” “Wow~” ” ”

With enthusiastic applause, Spica placed the gifts she had brought with both hands one by one on the table.

“First, an ultra-premium 1++ A Korean beef set! 3kg of short ribs, 2kg of sirloin!”

” ” “Ooh~” ” ”

“Liquor! Ballantine’s 30 Year Old!”

“Thank you! Dad will enjoy it!”

The meat went into the refrigerator, and the father happily took the liquor.

As he had heard in advance, he seemed to like alcohol.

Spica felt relieved for the time being.

“Cosmetics set! I don’t know much about it, but it’s a good one!”

“I’ll use it well, Oppa! And Oppa’s girlfriend!”

The younger sister ended up taking the cosmetics set.

It was an item that she had prepared to give to her mother, but Spica was not flustered.

Because a veteran magical girl doesn’t get flustered.

“And another cosmetics set!”

“Wow! Thank you, Oppa! Two cosmetics sets!”

She was flustered.

Why? Why is the younger sister taking both of them?

Where was the confident look that she had in her mind just a moment ago, Spica was flustered as she looked at the younger sister, who was hugging the two cosmetics sets with a happy expression.

The young mother’s appearance was clearly the potential that could only come from putting a lot of effort into managing herself.

Perhaps she doesn’t receive anything other than the cosmetics she uses? Should she have investigated in more detail?

But, her junior said that the best thing for her mother was high-end cosmetics!

Looking at her mother, who was staring at her expectantly, Spica was sweating.

Panic was creeping up her spine.

“Well. Mom, you get the snack and tea set. The snack set is handmade by the famous Pâtisserie.”

“Oh my, something so precious. Thank you, I’ll enjoy it.”

“Ahaha. It’s nothing.”

Spica, who got over it well with Si-hyun’s cover, felt like her blood was drying up.

She barely escaped the crisis with the snack set that she picked up thinking that she should just bring some snacks, and Si-hyun’s quick wit.

She wanted to slap her past self for ignoring Si-hyun’s advice that her mother would be better off with something other than a cosmetics set!

What was she doing, acting all high and mighty, saying, “Si-hyun-ssi doesn’t know because she hasn’t lived as a woman.” Spica! If you listen to Si-hyun-ssi, you’ll get rice cakes and rice even when you’re sleeping!

The gift-giving, which was joyful for some and nerve-wracking for others, was over.

A well-steeped tea was placed in front of Spica.

Spica realized once again that it hadn’t even started yet.

——————————————————————————————————————————————-

Taking a sip of the well-steeped tea, Si-hyun prepared to explain.

The nervous Spica grabbed Si-hyun’s sleeve and endured Si-hyun’s parents’ intriguing gaze.

“Well. This is Spica, and she’s my girlfriend.”

” “……” ”

“Huh? Spica? Magical Girl Spica?!”

“YES, YES, YES!”

Surprisingly, it was the younger sister who was surprised when Si-hyun introduced Spica.

The mother and father unexpectedly didn’t seem very surprised.

The father calmly opened his mouth.

“Don’t worry, son. Mom and Dad both know everything.”

“Yes?”

“You became the lover of a magical girl and turned into a woman with magic, right?”

“Y…yes, Dad. How did you know?”

Both Si-hyun and Spica were surprised that Si-hyun’s parents seemed to already know the reason why Si-hyun had become a woman.

They never imagined that Si-hyun’s parents would know the reason.

It’s information that wouldn’t be known to ordinary people?

Ignoring the daughter who was shouting, “What are you talking about?! Explain it to me!”, the father opened his mouth again.

Ignoring the younger sister who was shouting, “Don’t ignore me, tell me too!”, Si-hyun and Spica concentrated all their attention on listening.

“Your mother was also a magical girl. And your father also became a woman and specially awakened your mother.”

” ” “?!” ” ”

“Every day was hot and steamy.”

“That’s how it was back then~ Mom was young too~”

Yoo Si-hyun, an amazing truth that he learned for the first time since he was born.

Unlike the younger sister, who was still rolling her head around without understanding, Si-hyun’s head had been greatly shocked.

The father got up from his seat and approached Si-hyun.

And he hugged Si-hyun, who was dizzy just from the conversation.

“Was it hard?”

“Dad…”

Si-hyun hugged his father.

It was a very long time since they had hugged each other like this, as he thought it was embarrassing after he grew up.

The father’s warmth enveloped Si-hyun.

“You accepted it for everyone’s sake, right? Because when the lover of a magical girl becomes a woman, the magical girl becomes stronger?”

“Yeah….”

“You did a great job.”

Everyone looked at the father and son, who were hugging each other, with warm eyes.

The younger sister didn’t understand it well, but she sensed the atmosphere and read the mood, as it seemed like a moving atmosphere.

Only she knew whether she really didn’t understand, or whether she didn’t want to understand.

“Did Dad do that too?”

“Huh? What?”

“Did Dad become a woman for the sake of others?”

The father shook his head from side to side and said.

“No. I was curious about how good it would feel to do perverted things as a woman. So I persuaded the researchers and the higher-ups that turning the lover of a magical girl into a woman would improve their combat power, and I became a woman.”

“….Huh?”

The father said with a full smile on his face.

“Then, more combat power was enhanced than I thought, so it became an obligation for the lovers of other magical girls to become women.”

“……Body!”

“Kuheok!”

The correct filial fist blew up in the center of the Yoo family’s living room.

“Are you the reason!”

“Kuheuk… What a good fist…”

Yoo Si-hyun’s father, Yoo Jeong-won, collapsed from his knees after being hit by his son’s fist.

Si-hyun coldly looked down at his father, who had fallen.

“Since that’s the case, there’s one more thing I’d like to tell you.”

“Is there something else?!”

“Back then… your mother and I were young.”

“??”

“The two of us were lovers and stuck together, but we couldn’t do anything perverted for days because they said that if a magical girl loses her virginity, she has to retire. That’s why we were very hungry to share each other’s scents.”

“….I don’t want to hear something.”

“And back then, it was the first time they had turned the lover of a magical girl into a woman, so no one even had the idea of putting on contraception magic.”

“Stop! Let’s just end this story here!”

Si-hyun hurriedly tried to cover the mouth of his father, who was lying on the floor. But his mouth was faster than his hands.

“I, Am your Mother.”

“No…. No…! That can’t be! That’s impossible!”

“Look into my eyes. You also feel that this is the truth!”

Si-hyun was hit by a body blow of words and collapsed, losing strength in his legs.

“NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! No….!”

The father and son were both hit head-on and were rolling around on the cool wooden floor.

It was summer.
