Amane | I’ll go open the door for her now |
Shihoko | My goodness Amane, that took you long enough. I’m glad to see you’re looking well. I was starting to wonder if you were asleep. |
Amane | Yeah, yeah, I’m perfectly fine, so how about heading home? |
Shihoko | How can you say that to your own mother? It took me several hours to get here, you know? Don’t I even get a thank-you? |
Amane | Thank you very much for traveling a great distance, now please go home. |
Shihoko | Come now, don’t say such things. It’s not very endearing. You should act more like Shuuto, your father |
Amane | Men don’t need to be endearing, do we? |
Shihoko | Hahaha, You’ve really hit your rebellious phase! |
Shihoko | I hope you’re not planning on having me stand outside all day. I’m coming in, okay? |
Amane | Wait, nobody said you could— |
Shihoko | Have you forgotten that your father and I pay the rent on this place? |
Amane | By the way, you really should tell me beforehand when you plan on visiting, |
Shihoko | Now, I wouldn’t be able to get a proper picture of my son’s living situation if I didn’t show up unannounced, would I? |
Amane | Ugh... Look, there’s no problem, okay? I’m keeping the place clean. |
Shihoko | You certainly are; I’m surprised. You never kept your room clean at home, but you’re doing better than I’d expected. I’m surprised. |
Shihoko | Your skin looks good, too; you must be eating well, |
Amane | ...Yeah, |
Shihoko | You’re even cooking properly, huh. Oh, but it looks like you’re cooking for two? |
Amane | Yeah, I had a friend over. |
Shihoko | Hmm, |
Shihoko | I suppose you get a passing mark. You’re doing so well, I can hardly believe you’re a boy living on his own, |
Amane | See, there was nothing for you to worry about, Mom. |
Shihoko | I suppose not; though I can hardly believe it. You could barely do anything for yourself at home. You’ve certainly grown up. |
Amane | ...I’m basically an adult, |
Shihoko | Good job, |
Shihoko | That just leaves the bedroom check, I suppose, |
Amane | Amane’s eyes went wide at the drop of that bomb. Mahiru was still in there. If his mother found a girl hiding in the bedroom, a far greater disaster would ensue than if Amane had just revealed Mahiru from the get-go. |
Shihoko | Oh? Something in there you’re feeling embarrassed about? |
Amane | There’s probably one or two embarrassing things in any high school guy’s room, if you think about it. |
Shihoko | So you admit it? |
Amane | Yeah, I admit it. Please don’t go in there. |
Shihoko | I suppose you are grown up, if you’re hiding those sorts of things from your parents. |
Shihoko | Amane… |
Amane | Yes. |
Shihoko | What are you hiding? |
Amane | ...It has nothing to do with you, Mom. |
Shihoko | So you say. |
Amane | I’m groaning right now |
Shihoko | I’m sneaking past you and getting into your room. Oh my, Amane, you’ve got such an adorable girlfriend! |
Shihoko | This isn’t the kind of girl you can just hide away in a corner, you know! |
Shihoko | I suppose the reason you didn’t want your mother looking in this room is because your girlfriend is here? Look at you, growing up right before my eyes. |
Amane | That’s not it! You’ve got it all wrong! She’s not my girlfriend or |
Shihoko | Come now, you don’t have to make excuses! Your mother has no intention of opposing your relationship, Amane. |
Amane | No, I’m telling you, that’s not the issue here! We’re not in a romantic relationship! You’ve got it totally wrong! |
Shihoko | Well, whether I’m right or wrong, she’s in your bedroom right now, isn’t she? |
Amane | That’s because you showed up all of the sudden! We were just hanging out in the living room, but I knew you would misunderstand! |
Shihoko | You see, the problem with that excuse is that you would never let a girl you don’t like into your apartment. And I really don’t think a girl would just waltz right on into the apartment of someone she didn’t like, would she? |
Amane | I care about her as a friend. Not every relationship between members of the opposite sex has to be romantic, you know. And I’m pretty sure she doesn’t feel that way, either. |
Shihoko | Now, you don’t know that, Amane! Aren’t you being rather |
Amane | What can I say to get you to understand that our relationship is not like that, Mom...? Shiina, please, help me out here... |
Mahiru | Nn... |
Amane | Shiina, I don’t mind that you fell asleep, but there’s been a |
Mahiru | Misunderstanding...? |
Shihoko | Hey, hey, Miss Girlfriend, what’s your name? |
Mahiru | Huh, uh, um... |
Shihoko | It’s important to tell each other our names when we first meet, you know! |
Mahiru | Ah, I-I’m Mahiru Shiina... |
Shihoko | Oh, Mahiru, what a cute name that is! I am Shihoko; please don’t be shy and call me by my first name, okay? |
Mahiru | A-all right, um...Mrs., that is, uh, Shihoko... |
Shihoko | See? That sounds more like my daughter-in-law. |
Mahiru | Fujimiya! |
Shihoko | That could be referring to either of us, you know? Right, Amane? |
Amane | Mom, you’re bothering Shiina. |
Shihoko | Amane, you mustn’t be so formal with your sweet new girlfriend; call her by her first name! |
Mahiru | Uh, um, Shihoko? |
Shihoko | Yes, dear? |
Mahiru | He and I— |
Shihoko | Why, I don’t know who you mean. He who? |
Mahiru | ...A-Amane and I; we aren’t dating. |
Shihoko | Well, I suppose it takes time for things like this to blossom. Something to look forward to, |
Mahiru | Eh, ah, um, that’s not..., |
Shihoko | Oh no, I must have intruded just when things were getting good! |
Mahiru | U-um, I want you to let me explain properly! I don’t have that kind of relationship with...Amane. We were just having lunch together because Amane can’t cook! |
Shihoko | What a wonderful bride you’ll make, sweetie. My Amane set out to live on his own even though he’s incapable of doing any kind of housework, you see. So I really do appreciate you supporting him. |
Mahiru | No, uh— |
Amane | Shiina, just give up. My mother won’t listen to anyone when she gets like this. |
Mahiru | You can’t be serious... |
Shihoko | At any rate, my Amane did quite well to snag such a beauty. I’m surprised. |
Shihoko | What do you think, Mahiru? Can my Amane really make it, living on his own? |
Mahiru | Uh... That’s... Well..., |
Mahiru | ...Enough to stay alive... |
Amane | You should’ve just said I’ll be fine! |
Mahiru | I remember the place being pretty bad, |
Amane | Don’t bring that up. I’m keeping it clean now, aren’t I? |
Mahiru | And I’ve been helping you with the cleaning this whole time, haven’t I? |
Amane | That’s true, and I’m grateful for it, |
Amane | All of it, truly—the food, the cleaning, and everything else. |
Shihoko | Well now, Amane, so it wasn’t just today’s lunch! Mahiru’s been doing everything for you this whole time, you useless child. The way you speak to each other—it’s like you’re already living together! |
Amane | No! How did you even reach that conclusion?! We only live next to each other! |
Shihoko | Aha, so it was fate! Isn’t that wonderful, Amane. You got me such a beautiful daughter-in-law. I’m not denying that she’s beautiful and talented, but I’m totally against calling it fate or destiny or whatever! |
Shihoko | Doesn’t it sound more romantic that way? |
Amane | That’s not what I’m bothered by! I’m telling you we don’t have a romantic relationship at all! |
Shihoko | How persistent. |
Shihoko | Mahiru, this is probably a parent’s love talking, but my Amane isn’t very good with words, and he isn’t very up-front about his feelings, but he is faithful and gentlemanly. I’d say he’s a pretty good catch. Plus, he doesn’t have any experience with girls, so you’ll be able to get him to do whatever you want. |
Amane | What on earth are you saying, Mom? Seriously, cut it out. |
Shihoko | I mean, it’s true, isn’t it? If not, then why haven’t you had any other girlfriends? You resemble your father, so I don’t think it’s your looks. Maybe it’s because you’re a little immature? |
Amane | It’s n-none of your business. |
Shihoko | You really should try harder to act cool in front of Mahiru, you know. |
Amane | I will not, and she’s not interested, either, |
Shihoko | Oh, come now! Sweetie, you can train him to suit your own preferences, you know. Amane cleans up pretty good if you dress him up. |
