In the park after Chlo and I broke up, in the tranquility of the night, I reunited with a woman who looked just like my mother I met during the day.

Black eyes on brown hair up to about above the waist. Trousers similar to moving jeans, white shirts on black jackets... reminded me of an active girl was my mother herself.

Is that why I called her "mother" reflexively?

But......

"... suddenly you're being disrespectful. Do I look old enough to have a big kid like you?

"Oh, yes, no!? Excuse me."

"Haha, it's not like I'm mad at you"

The smiling look on her face overlaps her memory's mother many times.

You look so much alike... someone else... is it?

"... Um"

"Yeah?"

"During the day, thank you. I'll give you your money back."

"You don't have to worry. I just saw it from time to time, and it's only 2R."

"No, that's not how..."

"... here, take the generosity of people properly"

"Huh? Oh, yes!

I don't know, I don't feel like I can go against this guy's word about how crazy things are going. I guess that's because you look just like your mother.

It's like my mother's telling me...

"Ah, with that said, you haven't introduced yourself yet. My name is Luce. Nice to meet you."

"... Mr. Luce... is it?

"Yeah. I've seen you here before, and I'd like to know your name, if you don't mind?

"I'm Hatsumomo Miyama"

His face and voice look alike, but he still seems to have a different name. I know you do, but I feel so strongly discouraged.

I guess I was hoping somewhere in my mind... that this guy might be my mother...

"Miyamakite? That's a rare name...... oh, could it have come from another world?

"Yeah, yeah, you're right."

"Oh well - I've never talked like this to anyone from other worlds. You feel like you got something... that? Your complexion, isn't it?

"... Ah, uh..."

I've been told a lot so far, but I seem to be the type of person who gives a look. Moya moya feelings seemed to appear on her face, and Mr. Luce asks worryingly.

Not good, manage to delude me...

"Okay! You're hungry, aren't you?

"... what?

"Yeah, yeah, 'cause I knew you weren't fine when you were hungry!

"Yes, no, um... not that I'm hungry..."

"That's not for you! I had it by accident. Let's present my special sandwich!!

……

You don't listen to me at all, this guy!? Instead of being hungry, you just ate, didn't you?

... Speaking of which, my mother was also the type not to listen to people. When your face is similar, is it something with a similar personality?

Or this given sandwich...... what should I do? Uh-huh, even sensitive magic only feels good, and it seems hard to say no.

"... Oh, thank you"

"You're welcome, sweetheart. Gabe, eat it!

"Oh, yes..."

I eat a sandwich in my hand, pushed by Mr. Luce's momentum.

And at that moment, I was convinced that this man was not my mother.

"… delicious"

"Really? That's good"

No, this dish... it's not my mother's.

My mother was a terrible cook. The size of cutting vegetables is fragmented, and the seasoning is too much or too little... even the sandwich shape couldn't be made this beautifully.

I couldn't help but be clumsy... but it was so bright and positive... she was a kinder mother than anyone else.

Mr. Luce looked just like his mother like that... but he's not. This man is not my mother. Just similar, someone else......

"Oh, that? Something look worse than just now? Could you possibly be ill?

"Yes, no, it's okay"

"Uh-huh. It's not a good idea... you should go home and get some rest."

"... right"

I should have known it was likely someone else's, but the feeling of not having to be sure of it overflowed from the back of my chest.

"I'm sorry, you called because of me..."

"No, don't worry about it. We'll take it slow when we get another chance."

"Yes...... oh, thank you for the sandwich. It was really delicious."

"You're welcome ~"

Sometimes I couldn't organize my mind, and I decided to go back to the central tower as suggested by Mr. Luce.

I lowered my head to Mr. Luce, who waved loudly toward me, and then I started walking down the square on my back.

Dear Sir, Mother, Father - Behind the feeling of discouragement, some of you are relieved to know someone else at an early stage. Yeah, I'm fine. I was shocked, but not that far thanks to Mr. Isis and Mr. Lilia. I can take this properly... the fact that Mr. Luce is different from his mother.

"... sorry... fast man. Forgive me for not being able to say anything..."

After dropping off the departing fast man until he can no longer see him, Luce... No, "Akira Miyama" squeaks a little and then walks into a dark alley.

The whispering voice was wiped out by the wind at night... never reached anyone.
