Chapter 733: Gods Growth ⑧ (1/2)
The second meeting between my parents and Fate-san……which is in the form of a tea party, started with a very heavy atmosphere from the very start.
No, it's not that there's a stormy atmosphere around us. However, I could feel that both of them were so tense that it was visible in my eyes.
[…………………]
From Fate-san, I could feel her impatience, as if she was trying to get even closer to them even more than the first time they met, while I could feel confusion from Mom and Dad, as if they wanted to find some conversation to break the ice.
To describe it simply, both of them were nervous, and since they felt it in each other's eyes, they were unable to take action.
Hmmm, this is rather difficult. It's possible for me to interject here and there, but I don't think it would do any good to talk about stuff while they're that nervous.
I think I should ask them to calm down a bit to make things work, but the long the silence continues, the harder it will be to get them to talk.
Just as I was about to open my mouth, thinking that I should start the conversation, even if I was being a bit forceful, unable to stand the silence, Mom awkwardly stood up.
[……Ah, errr, I'll get you another cup of tea!]
There were no other people in the room this time, partly because it was expected that the room would be filled with an awkward atmosphere. Illness-san had left a pot of tea and some teacakes on a cart for us.
Thereupon, as Mom went to refill the tea…… something that looked like a memopad fell to the floor.
[……Akari, you dropped something …… Unnn? These are otherworldian letters, right…… Errr, ”Dream Note”?]
Fate-san picked up the memopad that Mom dropped and tilted her head when she saw the Japanese characters written on the cover. Immediately afterward however, she placed her index finger on her forehead, and after that finger glowed for a moment, Fate-san easily said the title written in Japanese.
Is that the Translation Magic that is automatically granted to summoned heroes?
[Ah, errr, that is…… It's a memo that summarizes all my dreams and goals.]
[Mom always used to write down her goals and mark them when they came true. She said that this was a way of remembering what she wanted to do and what she had accomplished.]
[……Hmmm…… Ah, no, errr…… can I look inside?]
When Dad supplemented Mom's words, Fate disinterestedly murmured…… but as if she thought about something, she asked Mom if she could look inside.
She probably thought that just muttering ”hmmm” would end the conversation, so she hurriedly spoke more. I could tell from this that Fate-san was trying her best to step up. It would be great if it turns out great……
[Ah, yes. H- However, its contents were just hastily written from what I remembered after I came back to life…… so I don't think it's that interesting.]
[I see…… Heehhh…… There sure are a lot here. I guess the ones with the flower-like mark were the ones that came true……]
Fate-san muttered and continued to read the contents of the memopad, but judging by her facial expression and the emotions I feel with my Sympathy Magic, it didn't seem like its contents interest her.
Fate-san continued flipping through the memopad like that…… before she suddenly stopped and began to stare at a page in the memopad.
[………………….]
[Fate-san?]
Tilting my head at her different reaction, I walked behind Fate-san and looked at the page she was looking at…… a page talking about Mom's most recent dream.
