I thought she would finally get married. That was quicker than I expected, wasn't it, Minami?

I can only say that it was a matter of course because I was in the second guessing stage, that I had to do it. Marriage is the graveyard of life, that it is, but it doesn't apply to a leader, does it?

Kaido and Minami are having a conversation behind my back as I am quietly filling out the necessary paperwork to get married.

The marriage between me and Suela has quickly spread throughout the company because of the location where I proposed to her.

And that's despite the fact that we were in the middle of an event.

As the old saying goes, you can't stop talking.

The day after I proposed, I was congratulated, teased, and jeered by every employee I passed.

Our company has a tradition that gossip is a pastime, but when you are involved in it, you understand how annoying it is.

A week later, it's still the same, and the two guys behind me are no exception.

You guys are grinning and having a good time, if you want to celebrate, then pull that ridiculous expression off, or do you want to fight me?

""Sir Yessir!

You're going to be able to get a great deal more out of it.

So, I couldn't help but nail it with my instructor's customary smile and a sharp tone of voice.

You'll be back to preparing your paperwork with a sideways glance at the upright and immovable salute.

Marriage with a foreigner has more work to do than an international marriage.

It can't be a one-line procedure that ends with me praying to God to marry them, as I have their registration here.

There are many different aspects to deal with, and the amount of paperwork is several times greater than the amount of reports I usually make.

To put it bluntly, there are few documents about marriage.

To top it all off, even if I married Suera and the others, my status in Japan would still be that of a bachelor.

After all, it would be nice to report on official paperwork that I married them and the country wouldn't take kindly to that.

Ethnically.

Or in this case, racial?

So naturally, most of them are insurance procedures to deal with problems when they arise.

This is an open and proud company, but running a dungeon is the best kept secret in the world.

It's also a document to see if I can invite my relatives and acquaintances to a wedding or some other implied event.

The more people I invite, the more paperwork I need to fill out, forcing me to think about how many people to invite.

Since Suela and the others are from the other side, those documents are few and far between, so this one should be mine.

I could do this in my room, but in case of an emergency or something, this party room is more convenient.

So my hands never stop working on the paperwork even though I'm bogged down by bored people.

You guys are idiots! You can't tease Jiro and not get anything back!

I want to congratulate him for being a real person, but I'm just as jealous of him for being a real person!

That's right! There's no man or woman involved! Rear-enders are obligated to accept envy (that) in a straightforward manner, that is!

It's a total loser's statement, you know. . who doesn't have a boyfriend or girlfriend.

"Guha!

Even on days when you don't go to the dungeon, in a party room where people gather like this, Kitamiya, reading a fashion magazine on a newly placed sofa, dumbfoundedly cautioned Kaido and Minami, but it resulted in a stunning critical hit, sinking the two of them to the floor as they came to life.

But soon, like a zombie getting up, the two of them slippery back up.

...... There's no Kitamiya-chan to say that! I don't want to be told by Kitamiya! You're just too idealistic to get the guy you want!

...... That's right! It's not that I can't have a boyfriend, it's just that I don't have one, that I can't. Unlike Kitamiya and Kaido-senpai, I've never been rejected, that I have! And I'm undefeated, and Kaido-senpai is on a losing streak, so don't treat me the same way, that I am!

"Minami-chan!

"You just told me things you shouldn't have said. Especially South! If you get rid of Kaido-san quickly, I'll ice your face thoroughly!

"Isn't Kitamiya also just treating me badly?

Don't play nice, you guys.

I went willingly to step over the tiger's tail.

The south is casually playing friendly fire, but as usual, I'm just going to nail the whining guys appropriately and make a document with their voices as background music.

The jostling, using the full power of magic crests, doesn't cause any damage to the room, and I can deal with the occasional cushion that flies at me by catching it and throwing it back at the guy who threw it at me without looking.

This way, I know what to do to get along with these guys after they've gone on a rampage, and I know how to step in.

It's not going to be the worst thing.

Normally Katsu and Amelia would intercede, but unfortunately, they're at school.

So it's too much trouble to subdue them by force, so I'll just leave it at that.

Crunchy pen.

"I'm sure of these papers.

I'm about to check the contents of the file over there and the annexes, when my phone rings.

Who's there? And.

If it's an in-house person like Suella or Memoria, it comes by telephonic transmission.

I don't remember giving the other testers my personal cell phone.

Katsura and Amelia are supposed to be in class at this hour.

I thought it was someone I knew who wasn't busy, but when I saw the number on my phone's display, my body responded with a jolt.

"Yes, hello.

Still, I can't stop myself from leaving.

"What's up, Mom? Something wrong?

Especially if the caller is my mother.

You are usually a laissez-faire kind of person, so you wonder if it's just a coincidence that he or she called you at this time, press the call button and put the phone to your ear, trying to be normal.

It's been a while, Jiro, I thought you had found your wife. I called you like this, but you're old enough to know better. How are you doing? Do I look like I could see my grandchildren?

"......

The mother on the other end of the phone, who laughs vigorously and energetically, gets to the heart of the matter so accurately that she can't tell me that she already has a grandchild, and I can't help but be immensely disappointed.

The mother's statement makes you think that she knows the information so accurately that even a stalker would turn pale, but it's all intuition, so it's unmanageable.

It's always been that way.

He says it's just a hunch, but when it rains, it always rains in the afternoon, even though the weather forecast says it's clear and the chance of precipitation is zero.

If you're driving a car, you've diverted a normally empty road during weekday hours, saying that you think it's crowded, only to find that it's really congested.

Basically, you couldn't hide anything.

Your test papers were just a random list of scores, and you guessed everything correctly.

I used to think as a child that my mother's intuition had reached the level of future prediction.

Huh, the same old intuition again? I mean, if you're calling from this number, you've been back in Japan, haven't you, Mom?

Her mother's job as a bodyguard for her father, a globe-trotting photographer, was something very different from her homemaking job.

Thanks to this, she is almost never in the country, and the only time she can reach him is during the week-long holiday period at the end of the year.

For a father who takes pictures of the unknown, his mother's intuition is his lifeline.

When I was in high school, when my parents returned from abroad and told me that I dodged a sniper's bullet, I wondered what I was doing, and at the same time, it was the moment when I made a firm decision, even as a child, to get a normal job, no matter how famous and well paid I became.

If you don't deny it, it means I was right. I'm glad I didn't waste the plane fare.

There was no way to reach them by the usual means of communication.

Thanks to this, I put off contacting them about the wedding until later, but it seems that this mother did not understand.

I couldn't hide it now that she was convinced by her mother who laughed cheerfully and said, "I can't hide it anymore.

I thought you should at least check the airfare, but I'm not the kind of mother who would stop at such a complaint.

I'm not the kind of mother who would throw a bankbook at me just out of high school and let me live with my father, thinking that you'll be fine.

She has, by necessity, improved her housekeeping skills, but she's so neglectful that it's not surprising that she would have lost a thing or two in her youth.

I think I did a good job of restraining myself.

Well, it was also because the amount of money in the bank book was horrible and I couldn't spend it without a second thought.

The reason why I didn't go to hell is because she came home at the right time for school events such as class visits, not to mention birthdays, even though I didn't teach her.

Yeah, that's right. I was going to introduce you, but my mom usually only comes home at the beginning of the year. I didn't call because I didn't think I'd hear from them otherwise. I mean, if my mom is in Japan, does my dad come home too?

"I'm home. After all, it's important for his only son. Ichirō stopped filming at the back of the Guiana Highlands when I said I felt like you got a wife.

It would be that way again.

I can see my mother suddenly looking up at the sky deep in the jungle and telling me what her instincts were.

Parents who can act on instincts like that are also parents, but as a result, I've recently learned that I'm also a descendant of these two.

At any rate, I now have a job that can hardly be called normal.

It's a step in the right direction, I guess.

And then? Where are you now? Airport?

"No, I was going to your house, MAO Corporation? I thought I saw this building and thought you'd be here. I'm in the coffee shop around the corner. Did you move on from your last company?

"Huh!"?

With a crash, I got up from my chair.

And I knew that this mother's intuition could break through the ward of cognitive disorientation.

It's an exchange that makes me wonder about my mother's abilities.

"What is it? What's wrong with you?

"I'm not saying it's bad, but oh no.

Asking my mom how she knows is a fool's errand in front of her paranormal intuition, and it's against the rules to talk to an outsider about magic or the contents of this company.

That's why it's frustrating not to be able to say that my mom broke the spell and found out where I was.

Didn't my mom actually do some heroic work when she was young?

I'm sure I'd believe you if you told me that you actually saved another world.

Anyway, we have our own problems. I guess it's going to be a while anyway. I'll make the arrangements. You got a hotel, right?

I cancelled a job because I thought you'd say so. We can work out a hotel. You'll be in Japan for two weeks, so show your wife. Well, that's the girl you met. She's a good girl.

Sorry, Mom.

Children, not children.

Children, what.

I didn't think I could get past my mom's instincts like this, but now scheduling was more important.

He hung up after hearing his mother's voice, which was brash to the end, saying, "I'll look forward to it.

It was sweet.

"Se-senpai, what's up? Just when you think you're suddenly loud,

My mom is back.

"Ugh! Your mother? Is it because your senior is getting married?

Yeah, he told me. I have a vague feeling that's why he's back. And he even tracked me down.

"What? I know this company is wired,

"Yeah, it should be taut.

...... senior mom, as usual.

"Too much horseshit for my own mother,

Kaido, who has met my mother, knows my mother's substandard behavior.

So, if I tell him my mom is back, that's all he needs to know.

Minami and Kitamiya have a question mark over their heads as to what they're talking about, but there's no time to explain.

I have to make the visiting paperwork in addition to the ones I'm making now.

I also need to let Suera and the others know.

I don't know if this is a good time or not, but it's my parents.

It won't end quietly.

If things go wrong, if they find out there's another world, my dad might say he wants to go.

My mother might sense that you're going to say hello to Suela and Memoria's parents, and she might take advantage of the opportunity to go with you.

Well, let's see if I can save you the trouble.

We can't sit still for now.

I'll do what I have to do.
