”I'm going to have a leisurely flirtation with you tonight, that's okay, Kaylee, you should find a partner like that.
Jiro-kun, to mention this to a dark elf woman, you must want to make Suela a widow.
”Oh scary, I guess I'll have to leave before the dark elves kick me in.
Wait, that brawl ”Kaylee, I'll take care of business,” Sueller! Wait for me! Now I must slam this man with the iron fist of the wrath of all dark elf women! Oh, hey, you're kidding, right? That amount is not to be trifled with! I just heard from the other side,” said Suela.
You duck and duck Kaylie, who was teasing you, and leave quickly.
You wave to Suella as you leave the room, and she waves back to you as she puts a pile of papers on Caylee's desk.
You ignore Keely's cries of despair and start walking to your next destination.
I thought I heard something I shouldn't have missed, but oh well.
So, Memoria, are you okay with your plans?
Jiro-san understands that I am about to get married, and that is not an okay story to tell?
”Of course.
The noisy office has been replaced by a quiet, deserted store.
It seems that thanks to the event the other day, testers come to the store for me to use.
However, due to the small number of testers in total, they still have a lot of free time like this.
I explained the same situation to her as Suela, and she's the same as usual, listening to me while she reads.
But I've noticed.
Her eyes are on the book, but she hasn't moved a single page forward since a while ago.
I guess that means she's in her own panic.
I'm really sorry about my parents.
But seeing that rare look on Memoria's face was a boon for me.
Well, I would have preferred to say hello when I was pregnant, like Suela.
It's just a coincidence that these things happen.
I apologize for coming out of the blue, but I have to let out a giggle.
So, when is it going to be?
”We'll discuss the details with Suela tonight, maybe next Saturday.
Oh, okay. I'll take the day off.
Helpful.
No, I can't wait to see what your parents are like,
”Just so you know, we won't be meeting in a restaurant that has a dress code, so I don't have to get a dress or anything, okay?
I'm sorry. Was it on your face?
That's because Suela said the same thing.
I see.
Only my voice and Memoria's can be heard in the quiet store.
I thought that time was going by as it was, but...
But suddenly the door of the store opens with a bang.
I sit up from the counter and turn my head to see if any other testers have arrived.
Memoria! I couldn't wait to meet my mother-in-law when I heard she was getting married!
?
But the girl who came into my sight was the opposite of the tester, who was dressed as if she were going on an adventure.
Yes, it was a girl who looked like a dreamland resident wandered in.
The girl standing in the doorway is showing a bright smile and waving her hands up and down as if to appeal to you that she is full of energy.
I look at the girl as she flows from top to bottom.
The girl with long pale golden hair resembles Memoria, except for her eyes.
Dressed in a brightly colored gothic loli costume based on a peach color scheme is a girl even smaller than Memoria.
The sudden appearance of a girl makes you wonder if there was such an employee, but the person is nowhere to be found.
And what did this girl say before?
”Mom.
”Mom!”?
”This is my mother!
Memoria rises from her chair, her eyes wide with a look of surprise on her face.
The words of this girl's existence spilled out at that time, and I shouted as if to confirm it.
No. Is it going to be your mother-in-law if it's me?
No, I haven't gotten permission, so I guess I'm still in a hurry.
Without seeming to care about my confusion and conflict, she slowly brings her hands, which have been buzzing around, to both cheeks.
I can't hide my surprise at the girl who continues to point with her index finger and declare that she is my mother with a smile.
It's the same height and outfit that makes a girl look like an elementary school student, and with Memoria, they would look like high school and elementary school sisters separated in age.
However, judging from what she said earlier, their ages should be reversed.
If you're Memoria's mother, then she must be a vampire, but this girl's expression is so bright that her gestures are not like a vampire, as if she were glittering.
You may not think she is a vampire from her gestures, but her canine teeth, which are visible when she smiles, tell you that she is a vampire.
In front of such a girl, you'll find a legal Lolita? But as soon as I'm out of my mind, I chase it out of my head.
In the midst of this confusion, Memoria comes out of the counter in front of me as if in a hurry.
How did she get here?
Memoria-chan, your mother just told me. Memoria-chan said she was going to get married, so we came to see her son-in-law.
”You said in your letter that you were coming to me.
Already, Memoria. Do you think your mother can wait for a letter from her daughter, who hasn't written in a while, asking her to wait because she's getting married? She was surprised and delighted to see that spring has come for her daughter, who was not interested in marrying her, no matter how many times I asked her to marry him, and of course her father was too. That's why I'm curious to see what he's like.
”No way.
When you stand side by side, they really look like sisters, and yet their conversations are of a parent worried about their child and a child panicked by the sudden appearance of a parent.
While I felt uncomfortable about the gaping scene, my mind gradually calmed down.
And then Memoria's gaze turned to the mother-like figure? As the girl turned to the open doorway, I followed her gaze, and this time a gentleman with the same purple-silver hair as Memoria's in a black vampiric cloak came in, and the next thing I heard about was her mother.
And the next thing that comes to mind when I hear the word ”mother” is
”I came with my dad.
”Dad.
So that's where the father comes in.
I often say that the clouds are gathering, but I wonder if they mean this?
Oh, and Memoria's eyes look like her father's.
