Chapter 17 The children of the next generation will always be better than their predecessors
"That's about it. ”
"That sounds reasonable, so I'll tell my dad first. ”
In the ward where Mahiro is eating the fruit offered to the patient Mahiro, he has just told Mahiro Yoshino's reasoning and asked him to tell his father to investigate the incident. If Yoshino's reasoning is correct, it is believed that the murderer will soon be arrested.
"Hey, don't just eat my condolences. ”
"It's okay, I'm here to help you with your mission. ”
"It's not decided yet, but whether the inference is correct or not. ”
Mahiro watched dissatisfiedly as the rain raged in his hospital room, and the rain continued to eat without care. Helpless, Mahiro had no choice but to let him go until his father's call arrived.
"Hmm...... Understood, got it. ”
Mahiro took his father's call and exhaled a sigh of relief, and when he saw his appearance, he knew that the incident was going very well.
"It seems that the police have begun an investigation, and they must have accepted Yoshino's reasoning. ”
"It's over for now, and we'll be contacted again if we have more accurate information. ”
Rain finally took the apples from the fruit basket and left the ward, and Mahiro was staring at him until the last moment he left. No way, who called the rain so rude.
"I finally finished playing this detective game, but I finally made two male friends. ”
Rain has taken it upon himself to regard Mahiro and Yoshino as his friends, and it is clear that the relationship between the three of them is not to this point, at least not to the point where they will naturally get together after they meet.
Just as Rain is thinking about the days when she will no longer be pestered by the group of girls after having a male friend, a crisis creeps in.
"Rain Nagase~"
A voice full of intellectual tenderness sounded, and after hearing it, the rain played the instant decision of the battle, and ran wildly without even a minute of hesitation. It's a pity that the owner of the voice was premeditated, and at the moment when the rain started, her hand had already caught the back collar of the rain school uniform.
"Where do you want to run to Nagase Rain?"
"Mom...... I was a natural reaction, like my dad. ”
"Hey, don't get involved with me. ”
Rain looked back helplessly, and what could be seen was a clearly bulging belly, and Tokuya, who was pregnant with Rokka, and a substitute holding a handbag. The two seem to have gone to the hospital for a follow-up, probably because of the child in the womb. At this time, Yu was quite resentful, why there was only one hospital in the entire Haiwu City.
"Can't you stay in school properly? ”
"No, there's a reason. I'm here to give homework to a classmate, but I'm doing business. ”
[Well, it's true, I'm not lying. 】
While the psychology of rain hints at himself, he also hopes to be able to hide from the world. It's just that the mother who doesn't like to accept this reason, she can't let the rain go.
"Oh, why didn't you wait until after school to come? ”
Natsu's sharp eyes make Rain feel extremely oppressive, and if compared to Suzuka, Karu is three times as strong as hers. The rain can't be parried at all, and the Toru next to him has already put on a "none of my business" attitude, and is a completely unreliable father.
"I'm sorry, I won't make excuses next time. ”
Rain didn't say anything about Zhenguang, and he thought it would be better to think of himself as a kid who was playful and skipping class than to let Soya know that he was meddling in some troublesome things everywhere. Anyway, I have a previous class, so it doesn't make much difference if I have more than one or less time.
"Sure enough, I should have told Alicia-chan to keep an eye on you, so you couldn't do some nonsense. Now that I think about it, Alicia is not a bad person, she can help me with household chores, she is careful and considerate and knows how to take care of people, and she is a reliable child. ”
[Wait!Mom's words are very strange, how do I think Nagase's status ranking has changed again.] Now it's me at the bottom, at the top is my mother, then Alicia, and then my father. 】
Rain felt uneasy about Alicia being able to occupy a high-level position, and he always thought that Alicia would definitely do something strange.
"Whew!"
Suddenly, she bent down on her stomach, and her expression was twisted together to look very painful.
"Play!"
"Mom!"
Rain and Toya immediately leaned over, and Toya supported Kata's body to get her back up, and at the same time reached out and pressed into Kata's stomach to transmit magic. Yu, who didn't understand the meaning of his father's actions, could only watch with fear, and Toru also used magic to relieve the pain and transfer the magic to make it more comfortable, and it took about three minutes before it ended.
"It's so troublesome this time. ”
Toya breathed a sigh of relief while also grabbing his hair and said in distress, with the same worried expression, he kept stroking his stomach.
"What's the matter? Mom, the child in your womb isn't going to be sick. ”
Yu was naturally worried when he saw the situation just now, but fortunately it was his parents' shaking of his head that answered him.
"Don't say sick, the child is simply too healthy. ”
Toru also said something of unknown meaning, which deepened Rain's doubts. He couldn't figure out why health would cause his mother so much pain, and it was only because of illness that he could only do it.
"Because your sister/brother's magic is too strong, and the strength of the magic power can already affect the mother's body when she is still in your mother's womb, and it is very dangerous for this kind of magic to leak into the mother's internal organs. ”
"Toya. ”
As a mother, she didn't want to worry her son because of her own affairs. Obviously, rain is not going to be a thing.
"What needs to be done now?"
Rain doesn't say anything else, and goes straight to the point, hoping to get what he can do.
"Don't worry about the rain, Mom, I can solve it myself. ”
The words fully showed that she didn't want the rain to be involved, and she didn't plan to be a mother who needed her son to worry about her.
"Don't worry, there will be no problem with me. I've had a plan for a long time, and you're going to have to trust your dad. ”
Toya's hearty smile makes people feel that he really doesn't even have the slightest worry, showing his absolute confidence. But Rain has reason to suspect that this is from acting, but unfortunately his parents are unwilling to intervene again, and he can't do anything if he wants to intervene again, so he has to wait for the opportunity to help.
"Dad, don't miss a critical moment. ”
"Hmph, I never miss. The only miss will only be when you are caught and raped in bed by your mother. ”
[Dad, if you really missed on that occasion, it will be more terrifying than missing on the battlefield to some extent. 】
Hearing Toya's completely unfunny joke, a drop of sweat flowed from the corner of Rain's forehead, and he could also see that there was an unknown black gas faintly emitted next to him, and it seemed that someone had no intention of taking it seriously.
"But I didn't expect that the second child would be so much stronger than the first one, and if you don't work hard, you will be surpassed. ”
"Don't worry, I'm getting stronger and stronger. My goal is to reach SS+ Magus within five years. ”
Tsuya laughed after Rain said his ambitions, and from Toruya's point of view, Rain's goal was too short-sighted, you must know that he was able to ride a rocket at the speed of a rocket in just five years and was promoted from S class to SSS class, which can be described as a monster.
"Hehe, it's too reluctant for you to reach it in five years under normal circumstances, but if you join!"
"Honey~ Where are you going to woo my son?"
Sotsu guessed that Toya wanted to speak and immediately twisted his ear to stop it, but even then Rain was able to guess Toya's words.
【Do you join Team Rainbow......】
