Chapter 450 - My Depressed Heart was Cleared Up

My mother was a short woman and a very bad cook.

G- Gununu The kitchen is too high and too difficult to use. Hah!? Maybe the reason why my cooking isnt turning well is that the kitchen doesnt match my height

No, isnt it because Mothers cooking is really sloppy?

Dear?

W- Well~~ Im looking forward to dinner Ahaha~~

Moreover, it wasnt just her cooking. How should I say this Not only is she clumsy, shes also a klutz sometimes, so thats why I think she often made mistakes.

However, she always had a bright smile on her face and she really cared about me.

Kaito! The athletic meet is coming soon, right? Ill cheer for you a lot, okay? Dear?

Yeah, leave the camera to me! Ill buy the latest model with my bonus!!!

Y- You can just.. bring a normal camera, you know?

I remembered how she and Dad used to match with each other in exaggerating things

And about how you were more positive than anyone else More hopeful about the future than anyone else.

Mom. Whats in that notebook?

Fufufu, this notebook, you see. This is where I wrote down the dreams that I wanted to fulfill.

Dreams you want to fulfill?

Unnn! You only live once, so I wanted my heart to be filled with dreams. Well, of course I couldnt make everything come true but there are some of them that were finally fulfilled.

The notebook Mom used to carry around with her After Mom died, it was handed down to me, and that was the first time I saw its contents.

Written in that notebook were the numerous dreams that Mom had had since she was a child, and those that had come true were marked.

There were dreams that didnt come true, such as I want to be a stewardess, and there were also dreams marked with a flower circled upon it, such as I want to have a wonderful love life.

And the newest entry on the notebook It was something along the lines of I want my darling Kaito to become a fine adult that I can be proud of (This will definitely come true) When I saw it, tears welle

d up in my eyes.

Mom was always there to support me. Truly, she has always, always been supporting me Thats why I really love my Mom.

Mom, why are you that supportive of me?

Whoa there, I would obviously still scold Kaito when youre doing something wrong, you know? But if it isnt anything wrong, theres no reason not to support my cute son.

Theres still a long way to go in Kaitos life, so remember this. I will always support you I will always be your greatest ally forever Understand?

Mom always had my back. She would always, always be cheering for me

Yes, even just before she pa.s.sed away

Kai to Do your best Help will come soon So even if its just you

That was the last time I heard Moms voice in my fading consciousness.

[to Kaito?]

[Eh? Ahh I- Im sorry.]

[Are you alright?]

[Y- Yes, Im alright.]

[But you havent touched your ice cream since a while ago.]

Seeing Isis-san looking at my face with concern, I finally came back to my senses.

The shock of seeing a woman who looked exactly like Mom was just so great that I just havent been able to keep my mind off it.

[Did something happen?]

[That is]

[I wont force you if you dont want to tell me but if Kaitos fine with it Id like you to tell me.]

[I dont know if I can explain it well but]

Isis-san looked genuinely worried about me, but unsure if it was alright for her to step in. Looking at her expression, I felt a bit calmer.

Thereupon, I began to slowly speak about it. The situation that had just happened Looking at it from Isis-sans perspective though, I was talking about someone she hadnt seen beforehand I had been keeping secret about

The story itself was simple. I saw someone who looked exactly like my dead mother, and it had shaken me Thats all there was to it.

However, it was difficult to express the emotions swirling around me, after all, even I dont have the answer to this question

[I know that she was a different person. But even so, the what-ifs were just popping into my mind That theres a chance that this may have happened That perhaps]

[I think that what you saw is another person Kaitos mother died in another world]

[.]

[However I dont really know much about raising the dead either so I think it would be better to ask this to Kuromueina.]

[Yes.]

I knew that. There was a strong possibility that it was someone else No, thats almost certainly was the case After all, if Mom had really came back to life, she would have approached me there.

But theres a difference between knowing and understanding I just couldnt get the thought of the possibility that my mother was still alive out of my head.

There was no way I could get an answer just by thinking about it, but I still couldnt help but think. As I was feeling so helplessly shaken, my body was suddenly pulled and I felt a soft touch next to my face.

[Eh?]

I immediately understood that Isis-san had pulled me close and held me to her chest. The softness of her b.r.e.a.s.t.s, her slightly cool body, and her pleasant scent that tickled my nostrils.

[Kaito look at me.]

[Isis-san?]

[Unnn.]

When I raised my gaze as I was told, I found myself eye to eye with Isis-san, who had a gentle expression on her face.

[Im not going to tell you to forget about it After all I think this is something important to Kaito.]

[..]

[However You also shouldnt think about it too much That is very exhausting]

[Isis -san?]

Hugging my head, Isis-san told me in a voice as soothing as a lullaby.

[Im here.]

[Eh?]

[Kaito might not be able to see your mother but Kaito has me.]

[.]

[I cant erase the feeling of pain that Kaito is feeling but I will always be with you and I wont let Kaito feel lonely Even in painful times I will always be with you.]

Thats what I once said to Isis-san.

I cant erase all suffering, but I will always be with her, Hugging Isis-san who was quivering in loneliness, I told her that And using her own words, Isis-san returned it back to me.

I felt warmth spreading in my chest. And then, I found myself hugging Isis-san with my hand against her back.

[Thats why for now I want you to only look at me.]

[Yes. Ummm, thank you. I guess I became a bit sensitive with what suddenly occurred.]

[Im glad that Kaito is feeling better.]

[Yes Errr, thats why, ummm if its not too much trouble, could we stay like this for a bit longer?]

[Its fine with me to spoil you a whole lot though?]

[Unnn Thank you.]

After expressing my grat.i.tude, I gently closed my eyes and entrusted my body to Isis-san.

Come to think of it, since I came to this world Other than the times when I was with Kuro, this might be the first time Ive been pampered like this, and the first time Ive felt comfortable and relieved.

Dear Mom, Dad- It was a shock to see someone who looked exactly like Mom, and I couldnt recover from the shock for a while. However, thanks to Isis-san my beloved lover, before I knew it My depressed heart was cleared up.

Serious-senpai MK-II (Seriousness Power : 3): [I- Ill just tell you what happened as it is Drawn by the previous chapter, I expected that it would finally be the serious of the serious, the main event of the Six Kings Festival, but before I knew it, they were just flirting with each other. I could understand it if youre saying that you dont know what Im talking about, since I didnt know what Im talking about either but I hope they smack their heads or something Im positive that it isnt anything shabby for comedic purposes or just for breaking flags. Ive already tasted this novels frightening true nature Eh? Theyll be flirting again next chapter? Eh?]
