Concluding Theater Part 3
"Owch that hurts ... ... ... ...!"
Kai was struggling under his mothers heal when he noticed his embarrassed and silent mother holding the receiver.
"...... wow you look like I do when I look at my girlfriend."
"What are you saying, Who are you dating! !?"
"oh no one, I'm just saying you get a youthful glow and start floating when you talk about Seina ... ...."
Kai gazed at Tsukiko.
" Mother I know you're single and free to mingle with anyone, but I don't want to call Seina my dad."
"Kai ......"
"My dad is only one for me ... ...."
Kai glanced at her as he said that sadly. Tsukiko was staring at Kai oddly.
"Kai ......? how much money did dai give you to say something like that?"
"Giyyyyyyyyy ~~~~ __ !!"
Kai didn't have anything to say to that. tsukiko hit the nail right on the head.
"Well then, I guess you don't need any pocket money from me this month, Kai"
"Ahh! no! I am sorry, mother! Please! I'll gladly call seina my father so there's no need to hold out on my allowance ... ..."
For Kai, one month's allowance was more important to him than this mother getting married to his friend / classmate.
"Hey, Kai! That's not what we promised!"
Kai 's father, Dai who was listening to Tsukiko' s conversation from the shade behind the sliding door came in and yelled.
"Well I would have kept my mouth shut if you weren't so cheap ~!
"I'm cutting your Allowence"
"I haven't gotten any money from either one of you in forever! I don't even care!"
"If you wanted to get paid you'd name drop me more!"
Kai and Dai began fighting like elementary school students.
Bam! Pow! Tsukiko's kicked dai right into kai and the two went rolling out into the garden, Tsukiko closed the sliding door on them and sat down again before taking the telephone.
-------------------
"Thank you for waiting. Now we can talk quietly. "Tsukiko smiled.
"They seem the same as ever"
Seina was puzzled by Kai's father's remarks. Even though he knew Kai was joking, he was conscious of Tsukiko as a woman, not just as the mother of his friend, and as Kiriko who he has also grown close with was growing up she had started looking more and more like Tsukiko.
"Well I'm exhausted, they tired me out." As usual, Tsukiko put her hands on her temple while frowning.
When Seina was a child, Tsukiko and Dai's fights were hard to see, but as Tsukiko grew, he was able to see that Tsukiko had realized that Dai was immature and childlike and that she realized he would never be independent.
Interestingly, they had a similar relationship to the relationship between Kiriko and Kai.
"Oh That's right! Hey Seina. in a little while Kai will know about his true identity, do you want to participate in the ritual? "
"In the ritual?"
"we have a good idea to surprise him! You want in? "
"Ha ha ha, I'll think about it"
"Fuhhhh, that's too bad ... ..."
Tsukiko suddenly put on serious face ─ ─ ─
Of course Tsukiko had no video feed to see him but she imagined what it would look like and in her head she stared at Seina.
"When it's over, Kai will be able to do whatever he wants... ............ If that happens, I think I might go to the Academy again and study, what do you think about that? "
"Were you a student?"
"Yes, I'm currently on maternity leave, but I can resume my schooling immediately as soon as I return."
Tsukiko awaited his response in suspense
"I think you should."
"Oh really? Thank you Seina. " As Tsukiko was relieved, she smiled happily.
"Seina, Dinner is ready, please get off the phone."
She heard Kiriko 's voice from the other side of the phone.
"Oh... well you heard her aunt Tsukiko, I'll call you again later."
"Please do."
"Okay bye"
Seina hung up
---------
"I think you should" eh? ... If I go over there, I think i will also live with Seina-chan ♡ "
Tsukiko muttered with a full smile.
