Chapter 22 (A Family Reunion! With Your Best Friend?):

･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:*

"Since you are here now, would you like to have a family meal together?" your mother asked. "you can join us as well Albedo! Take it as a thank you for accompanying my child." 

Albedo thought for a while but shook his head. 

"Unfortunately, I will have to reject the offer. Don't get me wrong, I appreciate the offer. It's just that I wouldn't want to intervene in a family reunion." 

"Don't worry about it! You are joining and it's no longer an offer," your father said before walking back to their home. 

"He's right, you should join us. You wouldn't be intervening at all," your mother added, soon walking beside your father. 

"Sorry about them. Sometimes they could be a little pushy," you said in an apologetic tone while walking beside Albedo. 

"Don't worry about it, it's just that I've never really had a family dinner before," he said, muttering the last part. 

"Hm? What was that?" 

"Oh it's nothing. I think we should catch up with your parents." 

.

"Welcome to my old home Albedo," you said while raising your arms, gesturing to the inside of your home. 

"You have a very nice home," he stated while looking around. 

"That's kind, Albedo. I find it to be a little messy but thank you," your mother responded, heading to the kitchen. "Unfortunately, I haven't cooked dinner yet." 

"If you don't mind, I could help you with the cooking," Albedo offered. 

"No, no. It's fine, just hang out with [reader]." 

"Please let me help, I insist," Albedo said genuinely, facing towards your mother. 

"I...Alright then. Maybe you could help with my kid's dreadful cooking," she sarcastically mentioned. 

You turned to her with an offended expression while jokingly pressing your hand against your chest in pain. "I'm not that bad."

"Actually, it's true. [Reader]'s improved in cooking. I rather enjoy it." 

"Is that so? Then, I'll prepare the main dish and then you two could help prepare the vegetables," your mom said after letting out a satisfied hum. You and Albedo nodded. 

"I'll be helping your mother in the kitchen as well. Albedo, you could explore our home for a while before we're done," your father said before heading to the kitchen, assisting with the cooking. 

Albedo quickly started to look around the main floor area. 

"You have beautiful decor furniture," he commented while rubbing his hand against the sofa. "It's quite smooth." 

"I'm glad you think so, I picked it out," you said in a proud tone. "I'm surprised they still kept it."

"I believe that I've never seen one of these before." 

"What? I think I have one at home." 

"Yeah but this is quite different." 

"I'm pretty sure Traveler has at least one of these. I saw it in Traveler's teapot home." 

"Well then, I was never invited then."
