"I heard that! Are you going to retire from the position of cruiser captain in the near future, and plan to go to work in the General Administration from the 97th century outside the management of the world? During the lunch break, when Lindy and Letty were having afternoon tea in the coffee shop of the General Bureau, Letty suddenly asked

"Ahh I haven't even told my family about this decision! ”

"This time it's for Fett?"

"Sort of! Although Fett decided to become a deacon, it was better to live in that world until he graduated from high school. Fett was taken care of by many friends in that world, and Naye also lived in that world. Although I have only lived there for a short period of time, I feel that the world world where the skills are not very developed are very beautiful. It may be a little late to say this, but I still want to live with my children as much as possible. ”

"Huh," Lindy's words caused Letty to chuckle

"You said that when Kronor was a child, but then he ran to Admiral Klim himself.

You said the same when Kamiyu was very young, but because Kamiyu was so sensible, he didn't let you worry about it at all, and then he entered the Wizarding School at a young age. So what about this time? ”

"Well~~ In this way, I'm really an incompetent mother!" Lindy sighed, half-jokingly, and continued

"So, this time I want to do my duty as a mother, and if I can, I really want to make amends to Crono and Camillo, instead of making a big fuss after something happens. However, children's thoughts are often different from their parents'! ”

"Ha Lu Ha is true, my family's Gli has been clamoring to learn from Kamiyu to become a researcher recently, but after reading the two books that Kamiyu sent me, it is said to be an introductory book, and I haven't mentioned it again!" Lindy's words resonated with Letty.

"Speaking of which, have you heard about Kamiyu's class at Mid State University of Magic?"

"Huh? I've seen him go home several times and look exhausted, it can't be that he was being bullied, right? ”

"Well~~ In a sense, he has become the most popular teacher at Mid State Magic University, and there is a tendency to spread to the surrounding junior high schools and universities."

"Huh? Retire? In the laboratory, while doing the experiment, Kamiyu, who received a call from Lindy, suddenly let out a surprised question.

"No, to be precise, he retired from the front line and was promoted, and his new position is the 'General Affairs Coordinator' of the General Directorate of Dimensions, and the military rank is Major General."

"Second stage special promotion?" Kamiyu was even more surprised

"But Mom, you must know that although the 'General Affairs Coordinator' sounds quite powerful, in fact, in this stable period, the General Affairs Coordination Department is basically the nursing home of the General Administration, which is almost no different from retirement. Didn't Aunt Letty dissuade you? Mom, you're still young, there's no need for this! ”

"Hehe, I heard Kamiyu-chan say that I am still young, and it is the happiest thing for me this year, and Letty has already told me all these things, but I still decided to choose this way, all for the sake of Fett. It is very convenient to go from the management of the 97th century to the General Administration, and I think it is the best choice to live there with Fett before graduating from high school, and my mother wants to really fulfill my responsibilities and obligations as a mother. ”

"I'm sorry," there was silence for a moment before Kamiyu spoke

"I see"

"What's wrong? The voice is so low, is it because Fett and I are going to manage the Outer 97th World Realm, and we feel lonely? Or is Kamiyu-chan jealous of Fett's snatching her mother? Lindy's words were filled with flirtatious excitement.

"No," Camillo retorted loudly, but was silent for a moment before whispering

"Maybe it might be a little lonely."

"Ahla~~ It's okay, Kamiyu can come and see us if he's free! It's not far anyway, and we'll be back when we're free. Moreover, Mom accompanied Fett over there so that Fett wouldn't repeat the mistakes of Kamiyo-chan, if you have friends to talk to now, you won't feel so lonely! ”

"Who said I don't have any friends!"

"So, for example, apart from Naha and Blast, does Kamiyu-chan have any friends?"

“”

"Didn't you?"

"Yes!" Camillo replied as if angry.

"Well, you're what worries me the most, and I don't want my sweet baby son to be a weirdo who is withdrawn and always hides in a dark laboratory and does some strange experiments."

"Strange weirdos! Not really! ”

"Hehe" imagined Kamiyu's panicked appearance at this time, and Lindy let out a pleasant chuckle

"Let's go home in the evening, bye-bye!"

"Uh-huh!"

After hanging up the phone, Kamiyu unconsciously looked up at his laboratory, and the sunlight in the room was quite sufficient, although it was a little messy but not gloomy.

"Friends?" His eyes were distracted by something, and he didn't notice the liquid dripping into the beaker in his hand.

'Ring~~Ring~~Ring~~' The sudden phone bell that he remembered scared Kamiyu away.

'Boom! There was a loud bang, and smoke billowed from the lab again

"Ahem~~ Ahem" Kamiyu coughed and brushed away the smoke and dust, took out the communicator from his arms, and found that there was no number displayed on it!

[Wouldn't it?] Could it be that guy? Is today the day of the Red Moon? (Red Moon; Mead has two moons, and every few hundred years there is a spectacle of the moon turning red, which is also a rare thing! ）】

With this in mind, Kamiyu hesitated for a moment and pressed the button to call.

"Now give me a cup of heaven coffee shop in the city, in less than 30 seconds." The lazy voice that I didn't want to hear came from the other end of the phone with a slight urgency

"Hey! What nerves do you have? Kamiyu, who was already annoyed by his mother's words and the sudden ringing of the bell, asked in an unkind tone.

"You guy, it's an urgent matter now, anyway, hurry up, remember to wear civilian clothes." The voice on the other side was already impatient.

"Matthew, you bastard came to ask me for help and dragged it like this, at least add the word Mr. to me first, bastard!" Kamiyu scolded without grace.

"Alright! Anyway, if you don't come, you'll regret it! ”

Mead Capital, Granagon City 'Cup of Heaven' coffee shop

"Hey! That's what you're calling me out for? Camillo sat beside Matthew with a gloomy face, and across from him was a short and obese aunt!

Matthew turned a deaf ear to Camillo's words, and said to the aunt opposite with a cheerful smile that Camillo had never seen before

"Mom! This is my best friend, Kamiyu. Hallowin! ”

"What nonsense!" Although Matthew's performance made Camillo laugh maniacally inside, he still slapped Matthew on the head, then leaned his head slightly closer and asked in a low voice in a cold voice

"Hey! When did we become friends! Also, when did you have a mother, how did I never hear of it. ”

"Don't say that, I'll explain later. Also, the relationship between friends is not decided from today, but unknowingly! Matthew replied very calmly.

"Really?" Kamiyu got up and walked out the door

"And then my friend left without knowing it!"

"Excuse me! Waiter, please give me three cups of chocolate sundaes! Matthew's words rang out in the coffee shop

"Rather than being friends, I'm like a brother! Na! Right, Max. Kamiyu was eating the sundae while smiling happily with her eyes open and talking nonsense.

"Yes, Matthew!" (Kamiyu, is your brother worth only three cups of sundaes?) Tragic Crono. ）

[Please, be serious with me, don't say things that are so easy to revue!] Matthew said to Camillo fiercely as he spoke.

"Oops! What a beautiful child, Matthew is such an old man, and he still likes to mix with children so much. The old lady on the other side smiled with a mouth full of yellow teeth

"Kamiyu-chan, everyone calls me Mom, so you can call me that, too!"

[Don't call me so affectionate!] 】

"It's okay, Matthew's mind is still stuck in the summer of the second year of secondary school, so he likes to mingle with children!" Camillo smirked and said for Matthew

"Form two? Why is it the second period of the most brain-dead middle school in the world? There's no such thing!! Although he was very unhappy, in front of this old mother, Matthew could only suppress his anger.

[Kamiyu, please, Mom's heart is not very good and she can't withstand too much pressure, so don't say anything to worry her about!] If you don't want to play professionally, just play it professionally! ]

Just as Matthew was talking to Camillo in a reciting voice, the mother on the other side unconsciously took a cup of sundae that Camillo hadn't eaten yet.

"I said, Mom! What are you doing? That's mayonnaise!! ”

I saw the old mother on the other side holding a whole bottle of mayonnaise and pouring it into the sundae.

"In order to thank you for getting along with Matthew, let me recommend a delicious way to eat it for you! Excuse me, do you like to eat sour? ”

Looking at the sundae, which had been covered in a disgusting yellowish color, Kamiyu only felt that her teeth were going to be sore.

"Can you still eat that?"

"Hmm~~~" Mom covered her chest with a painful expression

"Sure enough, still don't you like it? He also said that he was a friend of Matthew! ”

[It has nothing to do with friends or not!] Although I really wanted to vomit like this, Mathieu, who had already begun to emit murderous aura around him, made Camillo swallow the sentence

"I've already eaten two sundaes, and I can't eat them anymore!"

"Hmm~~~" The painful expression on my mother's face began to intensify

[Say, you like!] Matthew issued a death notice in his reading

"Can that prepare water for me?" Kamiyu looked at the two of them pitifully.

"Ah~~~" The corners of my mother's mouth have spit out blood.

[Is this telling me that you can't drink water?] 】

'Gollum' swallowed a mouthful of saliva with a embarrassed face, closed his eyes tightly, and threw his head back

Time seemed to stand still, and Kamiyu remained in this position and never moved again

"Mom, you're fine!" Matthew hurriedly hugged his mother

"I'm fine." Mom sat up as if nothing had happened

"It's just coughing up the chili oil that grabbed it in my throat!"

"Alas," Matthew breathed a sigh of relief

"Hey, little ghost, what's wrong with you?"

Kamiyu, who was most irritated by the word imp, still maintained the appearance of pouring sundaes without any reaction, but the dull hair on his head stood sharply and erect.

As soon as Matthew's fingers touched Camillo's arm, the latter fell straight down on the couch, and the dull hair on his head softened, and he seemed to have fainted

"My mother is not actually my mother, she is the mother of one of my deceased comrades-in-arms." As the two accompanied their mother on a tour of the bustling downtown area of Granagon, Matthew explained to Camillo.

"Well~~ I can see that, genetically speaking, your appearance is really like the obvious between an orangutan and a human. And she said it at the beginning - everyone called him Mom. ”

"Of course, how could I have such a muddy kinship!"

[Do you drag mud and water? Camillo looked at Matthew with a smirk.

"Hmph, speaking of which, she is really a great person, not afraid and disgusted with unfilial sons like us who go to be mercenaries in order to make money, and each of us is like a real mother, taking care of every detail, giving us those who have bloody hands on it to redeem."

She is the sun of us who live in darkness! 】

"What are you talking about?" Camillo looked at Matthew with unfamiliar eyes, and the person in front of him completely subverted the impression he had always had of him.

"Didn't you say; Are you a man who lives in darkness and doesn't need to redeem or anything!? ”

"Yes, you're right, taking care of her is just a promise I made to that comrade-in-arms!" Matthew, who had spoken such cold words, had reverted back to what Camillo had always known.

"Hey! What do you want to do, old woman? It's really infuriating, why are you staring at us intently. Why, don't you feel a little closer? I said, don't you feel disgusting? ”

A group of Shibuya sisters who have painted their skin black are competing with their mothers

"Ah~~ Ambulance, call an ambulance!" Mom suddenly shouted around

"Whoever goes and calls an ambulance, these people not only look abnormal, but they are also about to throw up!"

"Old woman, what are you talking about! It's really unpleasant! The sister looked at her mother angrily

"Hey! Mom, stop screaming. Matthew came to his mother's side helplessly and said to the group of sisters

"I'm sorry, she's from the countryside, don't forget to go!"

"No! Matthew, their faces are the same as when the child's father died, if you don't care."

"That~~" Matthew rubbed his hair and thought about it

"Because they were born in a dung pit!"

"What do you mean!" Obviously, Matthew's words angered the group of sisters

"That's what it means, we're very busy now, so let's go back to the dung pit!"

"Hey! What happened? Several young men dressed as hooligans gathered around

"This pair of scumbag mother and son came to find us!" The younger sister complained to the rogue youth in her fatherly voice

"I don't know which ravine you climbed out of, but if you are presumptuous on my territory, be careful that I give you a good look!" The young man at the head put his arms around a sister and said arrogantly

"Matthew, I said, that man's legs are so short, and he has to wear such long and loose pants!" Although my mother said in a low voice, the voice was still heard by everyone, and people passing by couldn't help but laugh.

"Bastard, this is fashion!"

"I'm sorry, she's a redneck who doesn't understand this. We're still busy, so we're going to take our leave! Although Matthew's words meant that he didn't want to cause trouble, his tone made people angry

"Mom, you can stop in moderation! Those kinds of pants are popular just to hide short legs! ”

"Damn, you bastard! Dare to underestimate us, whether you are an old man or a child, you will never be spared! The rogue youths who were finally enraged by the venomous tongue of Matthew rushed over with their fists at Kamiyu and the others, however

"Hey! I said we're busy, don't you understand? When the other party attacked, Ma Xiu knocked him down in an instant, and then grabbed one of the collars with both hands and lifted them up, and the already tall Ma Xiu lifted the two of them high, his cold eyes full of killing intent.

"I don't have an opinion on how you like to wear clothes, but I will never forgive you for daring to make a move on this old man!"

Just when Matthew couldn't control his emotions, Camillo slapped Matthew on the waist

"It's good to punish it a little, do you want to do anything drastic in front of my mother, in front of me, and here, in the entire capital of Mead?"

These words were like a bottle of cold water poured on his head.

At this time, he remembered that this was Mead, not the dimensional sea that he was galloping on, not to mention the 24-hour standby Capital Defense Force and the Capital Air Force, and the Kamiyu in front of him was the brigadier general of the Authority, and he had an air combat wizard with a high level of strength. If you really do something drastic, you will never be able to run away with your mother.

"Cut! This time it's cheaper for you, give me a good reflection on the truth of being a man! As he spoke, he threw the two people in his hands out of the coffin.

"Hey! Over here! In the distance, several Lu Shi of the Administration Bureau wearing Lu Shi uniforms ran towards this side under the guidance of a citizen. (The Authority itself is an organization that is both military and police, so there is no such thing as a police officer in the management of the world, and the maintenance of security is the responsibility of the land troops stationed in the area under its jurisdiction.) ）

"I remember, although there is no information about your appearance in the Authority, you are on the danger list!" Camillo reminded Matthew with a wicked grin

"Let's go first! I'll take care of it here! ”

"Don't think I'll owe you a favor like that!" Ma Xiu refused to admit defeat and helped his mother to turn around and leave

"Well~~ For my mother's sake, forget it this time."

After showing his ID to the Lu Shi who rushed to maintain law and order, a trace of surprise flashed in the Lu Shi's eyes, and they immediately saluted Kamiyu respectfully.

After ordering the Lu Shi to take these gangsters away, he looked at the backs of the two people who were far away, and remembered Matthew's sincere feelings for his mother, and Camillo smiled inexplicably

[Is it really just a promise?] Or, you have been redeemed without even realizing it! 】

In the evening, Camillo, who returned home, suddenly said to Lindy

"Mom, please don't worry. I'm fine with Mead alone, because I've found out that I have a real friend besides Naya. ”

"Really," Lindy just smiled softly

"Excuse me, it's Kamiyu. Mr. Halowin? ”

"Yes, I am."

"Have your mail"

"Oh~~ Xie Lu Xie."

When I opened the email, I found that it was a bill with a large amount.

[This is the friendship of the landlord as the owner of the landlord as we came to Mead, anyway, the Magic School is very wealthy, and you will worry about the huge budget left every year, right? So I decided to share some of your worries for you, and don't thank my brother for being just a legend!

Signature – Matthew. Brad! 】

Kamiyu's hands trembled and his muscles stood out, crumpling the letter vigorously, and then he fell to the ground and stepped on it again.

"Matthew. Breed, sure enough, I still hate you the most!! ”

－－－－－－－－－－－－

Because I really couldn't think of a good coffee shop name, as a reward for the cup that got me into his book and became a wine name, his name became the name of the coffee shop.

PS； Of course, the more the budget, the better, but if a department has a large share of the budget left at the end of the year, the budget for the next year will be cut, so in order not to be cut in the budget, many departments will desperately try to squander the unspent budget at the end of the year under various legitimate pretexts. (Should I say, is this the corruption of capitalism?) ）
