115 111 There is an obligation to report... (2/2)

If you're driving a car, you've diverted a normally empty road during weekday hours, saying that you think it's crowded, only to find that it's really congested.

Basically, you couldn't hide anything.

Your test papers were just a random list of scores, and you guessed everything correctly.

I used to think as a child that my mother's intuition had reached the level of future prediction.

Huh, the same old intuition again?　I mean, if you're calling from this number, you've been back in Japan, haven't you, Mom?

Her mother's job as a bodyguard for her father, a globe-trotting photographer, was something very different from her homemaking job.

Thanks to this, she is almost never in the country, and the only time she can reach him is during the week-long holiday period at the end of the year.

For a father who takes pictures of the unknown, his mother's intuition is his lifeline.

When I was in high school, when my parents returned from abroad and told me that I dodged a sniper's bullet, I wondered what I was doing, and at the same time, it was the moment when I made a firm decision, even as a child, to get a normal job, no matter how famous and well paid I became.

If you don't deny it, it means I was right. I'm glad I didn't waste the plane fare.

There was no way to reach them by the usual means of communication.

Thanks to this, I put off contacting them about the wedding until later, but it seems that this mother did not understand.

I couldn't hide it now that she was convinced by her mother who laughed cheerfully and said, ”I can't hide it anymore.

I thought you should at least check the airfare, but I'm not the kind of mother who would stop at such a complaint.

I'm not the kind of mother who would throw a bankbook at me just out of high school and let me live with my father, thinking that you'll be fine.

She has, by necessity, improved her housekeeping skills, but she's so neglectful that it's not surprising that she would have lost a thing or two in her youth.

I think I did a good job of restraining myself.

Well, it was also because the amount of money in the bank book was horrible and I couldn't spend it without a second thought.

The reason why I didn't go to hell is because she came home at the right time for school events such as class visits, not to mention birthdays, even though I didn't teach her.

Yeah, that's right. I was going to introduce you, but my mom usually only comes home at the beginning of the year. I didn't call because I didn't think I'd hear from them otherwise. I mean, if my mom is in Japan, does my dad come home too?

”I'm home. After all, it's important for his only son. Ichirō stopped filming at the back of the Guiana Highlands when I said I felt like you got a wife.

It would be that way again.

I can see my mother suddenly looking up at the sky deep in the jungle and telling me what her instincts were.

Parents who can act on instincts like that are also parents, but as a result, I've recently learned that I'm also a descendant of these two.

At any rate, I now have a job that can hardly be called normal.

It's a step in the right direction, I guess.

And then?　Where are you now?　Airport?

”No, I was going to your house, MAO Corporation?　I thought I saw this building and thought you'd be here. I'm in the coffee shop around the corner. Did you move on from your last company?

”Huh!”?

With a crash, I got up from my chair.

And I knew that this mother's intuition could break through the ward of cognitive disorientation.

It's an exchange that makes me wonder about my mother's abilities.

”What is it?　What's wrong with you?

”I'm not saying it's bad, but oh no.

Asking my mom how she knows is a fool's errand in front of her paranormal intuition, and it's against the rules to talk to an outsider about magic or the contents of this company.

That's why it's frustrating not to be able to say that my mom broke the spell and found out where I was.

Didn't my mom actually do some heroic work when she was young?

I'm sure I'd believe you if you told me that you actually saved another world.

Anyway, we have our own problems. I guess it's going to be a while anyway. I'll make the arrangements. You got a hotel, right?

I cancelled a job because I thought you'd say so. We can work out a hotel. You'll be in Japan for two weeks, so show your wife. Well, that's the girl you met. She's a good girl.

Sorry, Mom.

Children, not children.

Children, what.

I didn't think I could get past my mom's instincts like this, but now scheduling was more important.

He hung up after hearing his mother's voice, which was brash to the end, saying, ”I'll look forward to it.

It was sweet.

”Se-senpai, what's up?　Just when you think you're suddenly loud,

My mom is back.

”Ugh! Your mother? Is it because your senior is getting married?

Yeah, he told me. I have a vague feeling that's why he's back. And he even tracked me down.

”What?　I know this company is wired,

”Yeah, it should be taut.

...... senior mom, as usual.

”Too much horseshit for my own mother,

Kaido, who has met my mother, knows my mother's substandard behavior.

So, if I tell him my mom is back, that's all he needs to know.

Minami and Kitamiya have a question mark over their heads as to what they're talking about, but there's no time to explain.

I have to make the visiting paperwork in addition to the ones I'm making now.

I also need to let Suera and the others know.

I don't know if this is a good time or not, but it's my parents.

It won't end quietly.

If things go wrong, if they find out there's another world, my dad might say he wants to go.

My mother might sense that you're going to say hello to Suela and Memoria's parents, and she might take advantage of the opportunity to go with you.

Well, let's see if I can save you the trouble.

We can't sit still for now.

I'll do what I have to do.
