……

Silent.

We... the person who summoned me and Wakasa-san was silent at first.

The place was a Japanese-style room in a hotel, and there was a Japanese-style room where they sat directly next to each other, right? This hotel.

……

"... um..."

I was worried that I might have imitated something rough.

But when I waited, I opened my mouth heavy... "

"...... Lasbos? Mother of Tsubaki?"

Unimaginable words popped up from the cold impression on the outside.

If you are taken in shock, you can see the evidence with the long, powerful eyes of the cut.

What is it?

"Ah, ha, yes!"

Thank you very much!

Who is it, or is it your mother?

It was this person who made me say what I was saying... "

The tension eased, but apparently the strange air began to flow.

My mother also coughs awkwardly several times.

"Nh, nh! First of all, I hope you don't misunderstand it."

"Yes....."

“We have no intention of blaming or attacking you.”

You know what you tend to impress others with.

In fact, you look scared when you're silent.

Mother Koharu seemed superfluous, even though she was Lang, and Mother Ai was just a lazy person.

“I understand that your relationship with your daughters via online games is a valuable connection. Because it's something you don't get in normal school life."

I think our relationship is close to that of senior club members, as they admire you.

Close, but Yi is a game, so it's easier than club activities, and it's not that there is a relationship between up and down.

If you dare to define it, will "hobby companion" be the closest word to sensation among friends?

"They gave me the opportunity to talk to my daughter... because she said that she was particularly easy to talk to. Thank you very much for making time today.”

Ah, no, no!

"I was hoping to be able to tell such a story on this trip..."

"I didn't have the courage to talk to you..." Wasabi continued in a whisper.

Regardless of whether it could be carried out, my mother's gaze softened slightly to her elderly consciousness.

However, it was also my mother who tightened her expression for a while.

"Even if it's just my face..."

"On the other hand, by being easy to talk to, you mean that it's easy to be influenced by just that amount... I'm worried that even if it's not your influence, it won't be negatively influenced by our parents' eyes." Am I wrong about what I'm saying? "

“I don't think I'm wrong. Even if we are older, we are still minors, and it is impossible to replace Tan-chan and the others as perfect guardians. There are some weird people in the game. just....."

Just?

I feel an unusual pressure from my mother, who has a good eye for the tadpoles.

I almost faltered unexpectedly.

But in this state of affairs, we're always talking hard, and we just keep nodding at it.

Honestly, I want you to give me a break.

And it's probably not for the sake of Mio-chan.

We need to disclose our ideas early and get some pace here.

……

When I glanced at Wajie-san, the gaze came back like a push.

... All right.

As usual, I'll ask for proper cover fire.

"However, young lady... you have a high level of socialism that I don't think you're a junior high school student"

"Yes, yes! Yes! I can't look you in the eye and talk to you, it's a big difference....."

Hey, Wasabi-san?

"It's not like I was expecting backup shooting..."

"Tsubaki-san will probably be less affected by the words and actions of others. Even if you change it, you only have a superficial attitude, and the core has a strong one.”

"I can't take good care of other people's complexions..."

"Yo, girls in junior high school, that's probably a multi-sensory age that's strongly influenced by the environment. It's splendid."

"In middle school... it was hard. It was better than in high school, but still...."

Gradually, my mother's expression changed from puzzled to sympathetic.

Wasabi-san!?

"Well, um... that's why I shouldn't be concerned about Tsubaki-san. And I'm fooling myself."

"Yes, I understand how you see your daughter. So?"

That's what the stuffy tone is about... and I feel a little sweat flowing through it.

At the same time, I think it would be extremely costly, even if it is unnecessary.

In that regard, I have the impression that Kaoru-chan is softer than her mother.

It's true that my husband was also a silent person, so I thought about not having to struggle with people in the future, and I must have raised him very carefully.

---and you're a little out of your mind.

"... if I care about her, aren't you overstressed?" You're only going to keep an eye on that one point. The other thing is, is it okay to trust your thoughts and beliefs? "

"... please continue"

"Tsubaki-san seems to be a straightforward personality in all things." Besides, if I start, I'll stick with it to the end. Don't bend, don't stop, don't get lost. But that's it.... "

Ah...

In the middle of my words, Wajie-san whispered softly.

When I noticed something, my mother turned to me.

What's wrong?

"Ah, um... but..."

“If you've noticed anything, please tell me.”

"But my opinion..."

"Please, Wajima-san."

In response to repeated requests with his head down, Wasaki swallows words that he hastily refuses.

Don't feel the depth of love for your daughter... this is certainly just a name for Las Boss.

"T-That's right, Taki-chan." There were several times when it seemed like it was very tense or it was scary to break. It was especially bad a little while before I traveled. ”

Ah, that's probably because Kaoru was worried about her path.

It seems that Wasaki-san understood it.

I didn't even realize I was here until I asked... "

Same-sex anxiety, or is it simply because I'm dull?

"At that time, I thought. Unlike me, this girl doesn't have the option to" run away "from the beginning.".... "

My mother opened her eyes wide in surprise at Wasaki-san.

Yes, Tsukasa won't run away unless there's a lot to do.

I saw it as a type that didn't use the game's "escape" command as much as possible.

"I agree with you, Mr. Wasaki." Seriously, I think Taki-chan's faults are a bit hard. In other words... "

Stubborn. I wonder?

"Oh, yes. As far as we're concerned, I'm not saying we can escape..." But I wish I could help you relieve your daily stress. That's the level of thought, that's the stance. "

"Yes, that's right! That's why we play games together!"

Tsubaki's way of life is splendid, but she's very tired.

If you can't get rid of the stress well, you can break it if you say it clearly.

"... that's right. That's right."

After listening to our story, Momoka closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

Ten seconds had passed, and Mother Tsubaki opened her eyes.

“If you're feeling too unreliable, start by limiting your game time.”

Eh

Also, I was going to ask you to monitor my daughter and keep in touch with her regularly.

"Um......"

I don't think there are any parents who don't feel anxious watching a child spend a lot of time playing games...

Well, there are people like Medius who can do gameplay.

Let us not forget that it is only a handful.

"After all, she's my daughter... Wasabi-san"

Y-Yes!

This time, with a thorny, gentle face, you'll see Takuma-san's mother.

Sensing the air towards the end of the conversation, he stretched his spine in a nervous manner.

"Tsubaki, my daughter doesn't want to show weakness to people very much. But I feel like I'm paying attention to you."

No, no! No!

"In fact, it's a good way to escape." Flexible way of thinking about how to bleed gas. As a senior in life, please teach me a lot. "

"And, that's ridiculous!" I don't want you to learn something strong and serious about me as Takumi-chan's rhinestone... oh, um! I'll do my best! "

"Fufu"

Usually, people who don't smile too much have a high attack power.

Tsubaki's father must have been hit by this smile.

"Yuuki-kun"

Yes.

”If I could, a child like you would be a healing... escape place for her”

"Yes... yes?"

“That's what I think. Thank you very much for today, both of you."

Thank you for your beautiful work, and get up smoothly.

It was supposed to be for a long time, but there was no appearance of my mother wandering.

"It was a very meaningful time."

Leaving that aside, Mother Tsuji left in a cool mood.

It's probably our concern that you left the room first.

Because...

”Haaa...”

Release from intense tension and fatigue from talking while using your head.

And there was also the paralysis of the foot by the throne, and immediately after the fusuma was closed.

Together, we took a long breath and threw our legs out.

"It was certainly meaningful, but it was time to get really tired..."
