Chapter 1826: In Some Way, She’s Just Like Always
<Author's Notes>
Syosetu was under maintenance yesterday, so I wasn't able to post an update yesterday. Therefore, in order to match the amount of text in the two-day update, "we have increased the amount of Makina's lines in the story".
Incidentally, I have to admit that I was a bit nervous when I started talking about the ship party with Makina-san. I was afraid that she might say something like "I'll help you", but fortunately, she moved on to talk about her memories together with Alice, which was a relief
[Ahh, that's right! My beloved child, I will also help you with the party!]
[..]This chapter is updated by nov(e)(l)biin.com
Ahh~~ I see so the party persuasion starts here huh Now then, how should I respond here? Even if I say I plan to prepare this with just family this time, she might retort with "I'm your mother, so I'm family", and if I give her a weird excuse, that might trigger her rampage switch, which will be very troublesome.
She tends to interpret most of my persuasions very positively, which often results in increased affection and favorability towards me, causing her to go on a rampage I feel like I'm playing a game in which I'm desperately searching for a way to avoid getting cornered.
[Errr, I appreciate the sentiment, but you see, when I wake up, I forget what happens here]
[Fufu, you don't need to worry about that. I was going to reveal this later but I've actually adjusted my contract with Shallow Vernal! Now that my Makina body can also be brought into that world, my beloved child won't have to forget about what happens here. Aren't you glad? You're glad, aren't you? That's right, being able to remember about Mother is nice, isn't it? Well~~ Seeing you being this happy makes me feel a bit embarrassed.]
That's strange, even though I haven't responded a single word yet I would like you to refrain from incorporating imaginary Kaito reactions into our conversation while the person himself is present.
I think Makina-san is a normal, nice person at heart. Whenever I see her as Eden-san, I always have the image of her rampaging in my mind, but in reality, she does make efforts to restrain herself, and her affection towards me is undoubtedly genuine.
Having more opportunities to meet her like this in my dreams, I have gotten to know how she got the preference of a commoner, how she is kinda klutzy, and has a charming side to her but Unnn. I guess my final conclusion definitely is that "she really is a dangerous person"
As I watch Makina-san, repeatedly talking to herself endlessly, after a while, Makina-san clenches her fist and strikes her own face with it.
The impact blew away all the scenery behind Makina-san, and as the space behind her cracked open, I felt like I saw the outer space for a moment.
[T- That was dangerous My love for my beloved child was sparked again and I almost went out of control. I'm glad I managed to hold myself back just in time]
[.]
No, I don't really think you managed to do that I'm really curious about what made her decide that she should hold her ground, but I feel like that would be kinda terrifying, so I don't want to ask.
How should I say this I guess it's appropriate to say that Makina-san really is just being the same as always
<Afterword>
Serious-senpai : [Of all the freaking things, why did you increase that!? I mean, even though she had gone to great lengths to increase his favorability to her, I guess it really is just like Makina-san to end up being given the conclusion of "she really is a dangerous person".]
