The Last Night at My Sister’s House

My nephew rode his bicycle to a shopping mall called Aeon by himself. During that time, I worked on my laptop as usual. Around 3 pm, his friends came over. Rintaro went to a local haunted house that we had visited the previous day with his friends again. Around 4 pm, he went to basketball practice, and after that, he stayed at his paternal grandparents’ house. In the evening, I went to a local restaurant called Okusen for the second day in a row. Before going out, I brought in all of the laundry, folded it, and cleaned every room. There were no other customers, and I talked with the owner for a long time. He shared his experience of working as a chef with me. I especially enjoyed hearing about the time he worked at a political fundraising party and served the Yomiuri Giants baseball team. After that, I went to a standing bar called Go-tsubo. The owner was still unfriendly, but he was not as unfriendly toward his regular customers. I came back home and continued drinking next to my nephew. Meanwhile, four- or five-year-old Yujiro was studying. It seemed like such a healthy family activity that it made me wonder whether I was just a bad influence on them. I felt kind of guilty. I wondered whether my personality was suited to a healthy family environment. I fell asleep just after 11 pm.
