The day after Leonhardt finished greeting his family, he returned to the capital.
I slept until close to noon and woke up holding my dull and painful head. Avoiding unwanted meals, at 3 o'clock I thought it was even a snack, and invited my mother to the arrow tip.
Mother was not the only one waiting in the gazebo next to the pond behind the large garden. I was surprised to see niisama and Johan, who were too busy to see each other.
Isn't it quite rare for all three of you to be together, not officially?
The old mother seemed to hate niisama, and niisama couldn't get close to her. Johan's childhood was like abandoning childcare, and since he grew up, he didn't come back from studying in a neighboring country, so he almost never interacted with his mother.
I was impressed that you often summoned niisama and Johan.
There are things that can be added when I think that a negative and honest mother might have shaken up her courage.
"Mother, you've done your best..."
However, I can't think of a topic, and I can see awkward air flowing from a distance. Seeing me approaching, my mother looked at me with relief.
However, for some reason, I changed my expression as if it had returned to me immediately, and it was clear.
"Welcome back."
I thought, "Oh?" But when I got to my seat, I heard a voice.
"Yes, I just left."
"I heard you came back last night."
"... it was late at night, so I refrained from reporting it."
Even though I just returned a saved sentence, I wonder why I feel like a husband who can be blamed by his wife for "coming home late".
You must have enjoyed interacting with the family there.
Mother.
With obvious dislike, Johann, with his eyebrows frowned, calls out to him.
Mother's dislike is cute, so don't look like that.
“Yes, you are all kind and very kind.”
"... have you and your mother gotten along?"
Yes.
"... yes."
While keeping the conversation to yourself, I feel dizzy.
Yeah, that's it. I don't have to tell you how depressed I am, but you're really cute.
"He is as kind and lovely as his mother."
Mother's cheeks quickly colored as she smiled. Johann stared at his mother, who was eating and pretending to be calm, with his eyes at the unbelievable.
Johan's mother's image will be fixed in childhood memories, so it is not surprising.
Until a few years ago, I misunderstood that I was arrogant and hysterical. In fact, he is an unbelievably clumsy and lonely person.
“Johan, Rose and her mother-in-law are very close, so don't worry.”
"!? What are you talking about...."
Mother was seriously blushing at the mysterious follow of niisama, who was smilingly watching the exchange between me and Mother.
But, niisama, it contains a little bit of natural material. I tilted my neck with a serious rotten face, wondering what I had to do.
It's true, isn't it?
"Tch,... yes, it's true that we're close."
Reflexively, my mother, who seemed to be showing "no", tried her best to swallow it. Even though I dyed my cheeks in shame, I don't have any impression other than that of being cute when I nodded.
"You're also dealing with niisama normally...?" I don't know what that means.... "
Johan mumbles to himself in a low voice as he holds down his forehead.
Apparently, there was too much information and I didn't take it well.
I can understand Johan's confusion because he's having a conversation with his niisama, who was an enemy of Tundere, in addition to his intercourse with me, which is not dangerous.
"Onee-sama... am I dreaming?"
I smile bitterly when asked with a serious look on my face.
"It's not a dream."
When I answered with a smile, Johan had a subtle look on his face.
"While you were studying abroad, we made up." Hey? Mother, niisama? "
Mother and Niisama look at each other. Then, Niisama smiled full of compassion, and Mother nodded softly as she turned away from her eyes.
Even if it is said to be a rapprochement, it does not mean that there is a history of being allowed to apologize for it in an easy-to-understand manner.
But when I fell asleep, I felt that the distance had shrunk, even though it was not awkward. Neither of them is aggressive, so there is only an annotation of "a little".
But Johan looked at his mother with cold eyes, though he was not satisfied.
Mother was frightened by the sole, which did not contain any shards of goodwill.
Isn't niisama and niisama too nice to make up?
"... Johan"
I called to be embarrassed, but because I thought it was different to blame, I heard a voice that seemed more troublesome than I thought.
It was quite a long time ago that we abandoned the restoration of the parent-child relationship. That was when I was a child.
I don't hate it or hate it, but I've just cut it off as a person with blood on it, so I don't think I'll be able to keep my distance now.
I know how Johan feels, so I'm worried about how to keep saying these words.
But at the same time, I can't shut up because I know how much courage Mother has wielded to face Johan and Niisama.
The point is, I didn't want anyone to get hurt because they all liked it.
"You misunderstand your mother." my mother.... "
Rosé
I tried to convince her, but she stopped me.
"Thank you for covering for me. I'm glad, but Johan's right. I've done what I've been told."
Raising her face as she lay down, her mother looked straight at Johan.
"I didn't care about the child at all, I kept pressing my claims." Even though I could not love you properly, I was afraid of being hated, and I was a terrible mother who ran away to the end of my sentence.... no, I still don't like the kindness of Rose and Christophe, and I haven't been able to return any of them. "
……
Johan has a difficult face, but he silently hears the words of his mother.
"It may not change any time soon. But I can try to make a difference. If possible, I'd be glad if you could keep an eye on me.”
…………
After a long silence, Johan, with his eyes down, exhales greatly.
Okay, I'll see what I can do about you.
"Thank you."
Mother smiled happily.
Niisama and I were relieved to be watching.
Even though oniisama and niisama are good, even if I'm just angry, it looks stupid
Johan looks at me with a relaxed face on his shoulder.
"Besides, because she's such a mother, I was spoiled by my sister." I'm even grateful when I think about it. ”
I felt a bit complicated when I was told with a full smile.
I thought that it was not my mother's position to say such a thing, but she nodded in tune.
"Rosé is much more grown up than I am."
After saying that, Mother laughed a little lonely.
"... but as a pathetic mother, Rosé can't be her daughter-in-law with peace of mind."
"... Mother"
Unlike me, Niisama and Johan had noticed something and hardened their faces.
Mother looked at them and lowered her eyebrows in shock.
”You guys don't think [if I had that hand], do you?”
No way.
……
Johan laughs and denies the words of his mother.
Niisama looked away softly.
Cheerful conversation makes me happy.
I miss getting married and being physically apart, but it's okay now. Even if we leave, we are a family.
