Chapter 79 – Mother-in-law!
“A woman, and a woman…. A woman here, a woman there. Hmm… Oh my, this kid is still young… No, you can’t let down your guard though. Because my son-in-law especially likes young women…. But how can siblings be so cute… ! It reminds me of when Ignis and Undine were young…. “Would you like to go to my house?”
Mrs. Disizu was the first to approach Lin and Ran.
At first, she had a dizzying moment as she wondered what the hell she was talking about, but like Mrs. DC who loves children, she soon relaxed and hugged Rin and Ran. In particular, she repeatedly said that little Ran smelled like baby powder.
But soon, she must have felt the gaze of Freya and Professor Aegis, and she straightened her clothes, cleared her throat, and smiled faintly.
“Oops, the introduction is late. “I am Undine’s mother, and this is my husband.”
“It’s called Wash Dish. “Thank you for getting along well with my daughter.”
“I have said hello to the old moon before.”
“Yes, it’s been a while since I saw you. Mrs. Dees…….”
“And this elf… ? But oh my, what should I do because I’m sorry? You seem to be sick, but I don’t think we paid too much attention to you. Sorry. “It would be embarrassing to come in suddenly.”
“No, Kolok! My name is Aegis. I don’t teach Miss Undine directly, but I know her through the connections of Professor Neferna and Professor Freya.”
“Thank you for your hard work.”
Mrs. Diss smiled gracefully and continued.
“The reason we came here is no different… ….”
Undine’s anxious gaze wandered, and I gulped down my dry saliva. When my turn would come, that was more important now.
Sure enough, Mrs. Deise’s eyes turned to me.
“Son-in-law, I really… “I really believed in it.”
“Mrs. Dees… What I said last time….”
“…… Is it so. I also understand that the Old Moon exists. “It’s sad for her, but I know the beauty that Old Moon has.”
“You! Our daughter Undine never falls behind…… “
Washdishz glanced at Freyja, and she let out a short moan.
“… It doesn’t seem like we’ll lose, but anyway… “My daughter, don’t talk so harshly about Undine, who won’t hurt even if you put her in your eyes.”
“Yes, I too believe that my son-in-law loves Undine very much. But that doesn’t mean she can mess around with other women. Our son-in-law. “You know what I mean, right?”
“Yes, Mrs. Dees…” But what I want to tell you is….”
“As you know, Undine is a child who appears to have no thoughts on the outside, but she is very delicate on the inside. She hurts more than she looks. ‘That’s a misunderstanding,’ Undine told us. But… Our son-in-law. We are Undine’s parents. She knows Undine better than anyone else. “My daughter is such a devoted, in-love girl that even if it hurts her insides, she will smile and accept anything about our son-in-law.”
Mrs. Dixie turned her gaze.
Now that I thought about it, I thought Undine was strangely quiet, but she was already under Madame Disi’s sealing spell and her mouth and body were tied.

She must have felt so wronged by the fact that her mother had treated her so much that it seemed like tears would fall if you touched her.
Mrs. Disses probably knows best how to deal with her ‘delicate’ daughter, so I can’t say anything about it.
“Then everyone, let me borrow our son-in-law for a while. Would it be okay?”
When Mrs. Diss spoke politely, no one was allowed to open their mouth.
“Would you mind having a cup of tea with me? Son-in-law?”
“… Yes, Mrs. Dees. I also have something important to say. “There is a good cafe nearby, so I will escort you.”
“Oh my, be dependable. hehehehe. “It looks like I have another son.”
I realized that the same situation would only repeat itself if I stayed here, so I decided to quickly move to another place with Mrs. Dice.
Mrs. Dish covered her mouth, smiled gracefully, and crossed her arms around me. It’s so natural.
Then she cast her gaze insinuatingly and said to Wash Dish.
“You wait here for a moment.”
“… What? Here? Aren’t I going too? “Just wait here?”
“Oh my… Are you planning on interfering with my son-in-law and I going on a date? “I’m old enough, but shouldn’t even a married couple turn a blind eye to this level of deviation?”
“Deviant?! Wealth… ma’am… Even though… “
“Stay here.”
Mrs. Decis, who spoke softly but sharply, pressed close to me. From Freya to Professor Aegis, I felt my face stiffen for a moment, but I smiled awkwardly and clapped my hands in the warm and cozy warmth.
“Eubvvv… Oh my… ! “
I just pity Undine, who was under a spell and could do nothing but shed tears of blood.
***
The cafe located on campus was crowded with students all year round, even on days off. The advantage was that the price was relatively cheap and the latte was excellent because the staff was skilled at handling the steam, but it was not an environment where people could talk quietly, so it was disqualified.
But there was an alternative. I remember the day not long ago when I was led by Cecilia and Undine to a cafe in a downtown area. To be exact, it was just ‘transferred’ into the hands of mischievous students while I was awake for a moment.
Anyway, the quiet yet independent atmosphere of that cafe was particularly memorable. Convinced that it would be the best for now, I led the way there.
“You will have to walk a bit. Would you like to teleport? I’ll give you the coordinates… “
“Oh my, is it burdensome for my son-in-law to walk down the street with me?”
“No.. That can’t be… “
That’s what I said, but I couldn’t help but glance around every time I walked. Just walking around the campus with Mrs. Dees and walking to the school gates was enough of a challenge.
Undine and her real sisters look good, but more than anything, they have an air of elegance.
It was natural that her appearance, like that of a noble lady in her prime, which put her age of well over a hundred years to shame, caught the attention of the students, and the same thing happened when her eyes fell on me as I was walking side by side with her arms folded. .
“Look, it’s Professor Neferna. The person next to me… Who is it? Are you a noble?”
“Don’t you look like Undine? “Is she like an older sister?”
“Wait?! Then all her sisters…… ?”
“Pfft! Did they end up abandoning Freya?! I… I… ! “You must inform the charity immediately!”
… Oh right. Lovers. I barely forgot.
I wanted to leave school as quickly as possible, so I left the campus at a speed that was close to the alarm.
I didn’t let go of my nerves until I sat down at the cafe.
Mrs. Diss ordered cream coffee and I ordered black coffee.
“If not this time, when can I come to the empire again? Even though it is not a characteristic of the blood family, the DC family does not like to go out very much. However, it is also true that looking at pretty buildings and landscaping like this can change your mood…. “I can say it myself, but although the landscaping of DC’s Mansion is beautiful, the smell of blood is strong.”
“There were monster corpses piled up near the fence. “Isn’t it still the same now?”
“Isn’t that cool in its own way? I tried to restore the design of a weapon from classical literature thousands of years ago, but stupid monsters got stuck in it and died. “It looks even more elegant thanks to the addition of blood and pus.”
“hahahahaha…… “
How would Undine and Ignis react if they found out that they hated that fence?
When I first saw it, I thought it was some kind of haunted house.
“Anyway, if I had known you were really coming, I would have gone out to meet you.”
“Oh, it’s okay. If that were the case, we would have invited our son-in-law. “Just like last time.”
“Then you didn’t come here by teleportation.”
“After a long time, I came back from a long distance to tour the empire…. On my way here, I looked around. The last time I set foot in the Empire… “It’s been more than ten years since Undine was very young.”
“Please come visit sometime. “I will guide you.”
“hehehe, thank you. Well, neither my son-in-law nor Undine will be at the academy for very long. When that happens, there will really be no need to come to the Empire. “Maybe I should really enjoy this time, like my son-in-law said.”
“……… ….”
“Don’t be too nervous. The reason we came out alone like this was because we wanted to hang out together for the first time in a while. As for the underwear incident…… In fact, I knew before I arrived at the academy that there would have been a misunderstanding.”
“…… Yes? Then… Why is this happening now… “
Up until the first time she and Undine spoke on the phone to explain, Mrs. Diss’s expression was close to ‘real’. It’s not for me to mistake that.
“Actually, there was a time when I misunderstood my son-in-law at first because the blood was rushing to my head. But my uncle cooled my head on the way to the academy. Anyway, he is a more rational person than me. Calm and wise.”
Mrs. D.S.I.D.S., Who spoke of Wash..D.S.I.S. With the crude title of “My uncle,” Had a shy expression on her face, like that of a girl.
“My husband is also certain about that. He is a bit introverted and has a tendency to grumble inside, but that’s something I can add to. Because he has exactly what I lack. Each other… “It’s like a puzzle.”
“I think the head of the family would be really happy if I said the compliment directly to him.”
“hehehe, no lady or uncle can act like that in front of her eldest son or daughter, right?”
“Still, the matriarch will be happy.”
Even I, who meet him occasionally, feel sorry for him when I see Wash D’Siz’s face. It is true that her blood relatives do not age, but Washedishz in particular had the illusion of aging.
Well… If such a beautiful and dignified woman had mentioned her ex-lover or me on a single day, she might have wanted to kill me too.
“One thing. I have a favor to ask. “A little seriously.”
“Please tell me, ma’am.”
“I’m speaking as the mother of an undine.”
I stiffened my expression and swallowed my tension at Mrs. Diss’s tone.
“If you’re going to finish it in a hurry later on, don’t give Undine any room in the first place. “It’s just confusing.”
Mrs. Diss spoke firmly with a very serious expression.
Only then did I realize why she wanted to take me out to such a remote cafe.
“……………….”
A sip of tea with an exquisite blend of pine needle scent and mint.
Hmm, it has an exquisite taste, as if it was topped with a lot of toothpaste instead of whipped cream.
Pour the syrup that came with it on top.
The master explains that it is a secret syrup made by boiling a mixture of sweet grilled pineapple, coconut oil, cucumber, and cinnamon. Materials fall between the thick mucus.
After stirring it with a teaspoon, a strong scent began to fill my nose.
I opened my mouth calmly and resolutely.
“That won’t happen, so don’t worry, Mrs. Dees.”
“……… ….”
“No matter what happens, I won’t do anything that will make Undine sad. At least, unless Undine lets me go first.”
“Never?”
“Yes.”
“Oh my. It’s nice that it’s reliable, but I don’t think it’s limited to us Undine… “
“Of course.”
“hehehe, as expected, our son-in-law. “It’s not acceptable to be a libertine, but at least it’s a much more manly decision than ‘that guy’.”
“Are you talking about my father?”
“That’s right. The handsome, great ‘Hero Neferna.'”
Mrs. Diss was smiling, but she had a chill that I had never seen before.
“…………… The man who played with me.”
