Chapter 19: A Mother's Love is too heavy. (Part 2)
After inviting me in, my stepmother led me into the living room and I was made to sit on the chair while she made me a cup of tea.
That's fine, but…
"Why are you sitting next to me...?"
"It’s normal.”
"No, it's not. Normally, you sit face to face…”
My stepmother sat next to me and looked into my face from a very close distance.
And she even locked arms with me.
By the way, her skin is so soft.
"It's a normal relationship between parent and child, so don't be embarrassed.”
"It's embarrassing. I'm embarrassed. It's beyond a usual parent-child skinship.”
"Are you embarrassed? You're so cute."
Hmm... I'm still not very comfortable with this woman.
Well, I don't dislike her, but she does every single bold thing that a man would be tempted to do.
This is why I didn't feel comfortable coming back, even if it was for a report about my breakup.
However, there's no point in saying anything to this natural airhead, so let's just get down to business and get the hell out of here.
"Mom, this is important, so please listen to me seriously, okay?"
"Of course. What kind of mother doesn't listen to her son seriously?”
No, this situation is already ridiculous … Well, whatever. It's too much of a bother.
"And? What's the important matter? ...Haha, are you here to inform me of your marriage? No, no, no! I'm not going to let you get married, Shoryu-chan!”
"No, I'm not. I mean, aren't you being too overprotective?”
"What are you talking about? Isn't it natural for a mother to care for her child?”
"No, it's not…. Well, that's okay. I'm here to tell you that I broke up with her.”
"Eh...?"
I thought it's better to be straightforward about these things than to be overly dressed up.
So, I said it plainly, but my stepmother was acting strange.
She was smiling just a moment ago, but now her face is expressionless.
“Mother? What's wrong with you?"
"Can I ask you why you broke up with her...?"
"Y-yes."
I was afraid of the expressionlessness of my stepmother, so I told her about all the bad treatment and abusive words that Sarasa-san had given me.
I felt a little embarrassed to tell my mother about my love life, but it's better to tell her without hiding it.
After I finished telling her everything, my stepmother left her seat and went to the kitchen.
When she came back, I was shocked to see her.
"What are you doing, mother?
“What are you doing? Of course, I'm going to exterminate pests ..."
She had a kitchen knife in her right hand.
The light is gone from her eyes, and her expressionless face is really scary.
"I'm a mother and I have to get rid of that pest that caused Shoryu-chan to be in that situation.”
"No, no, no, what are you talking about?"
" Shoryu-chan, wait a minute. I'm going to get her head right now.”
What a violent statement!
You're lying! Tell me it's not true, Aika-san!
But her eyes seemed to be serious, and she tried to head for the door with a creepy smile.
"Wait, wait!!"
"An ...!?, Shoryu-chan !?"
I hugged my stepmother from behind, not wanting to let her go, but she was so surprised that she dropped the knife on the floor and turned her red face toward me.
"I don't care about her anymore, and I don't want you to do that! Mother is very important to me!”
My stepmother’s face turned bright red at my words.
I'm not sure what she was thinking, but she hugged me back.
"Hey, mom!”
"Your mom is so happy! I can't believe Shoryu-chan said such a nice thing to me! I'm so happy that you love me so much, it makes me feel like a woman!"
"Hmm? Did I say that?”
"As a mom, I have to reciprocate my son's love! I love you too, Shoryu-chan.”
Then she took my hand in hers and pulled me as she walked.
The next thing I knew, I was in my father and stepmother’s bedroom.
"Hey, where are you going?”
"Don't be so shy, Mommy will love you."
"Nothing is okay! Let me go!
I refused with all my might, like a spoiled child, and managed to avoid going to the bedroom.
My stepmother looked dissatisfied, but I managed to avoid crossing the line.
Dangerous, Dangerous I don't want to get into a fight with my dad.
I mean, stepmom, please don't do anything weird to your son when she has my father with her.
