The next day, I was discharged from the hospital and came back to my parents' house with Ren, who came to pick me up. I was actually planning to go back to my apartment, but my worried parents insisted that I commute to work from my parents' house for a while. Since I had made them worry so much, I decided to obey them quietly.

Ren was taking the same inhibitors as yesterday. The alpha inhibitor has weaker side effects than the omega inhibitor and is less harmful to the body, so it seems that Ren will be taking the inhibitor when the two of us meet in the future.

In fact, it seems that Raizo-san was involved in the development of this drug. He thought it was unfair that only Omega should suffer from the side effects of the inhibitor, so he developed this medicine with his team for Alpha, but unfortunately, it is not widely used.

It is sad to say that the reason for this is that not many alphas are willing to take suppressants with side effects for the sake of omega. Therefore, it is said that in many cases, only small number of Alpha, who has visited the Omega hospital, knows the existence of the Alpha inhibitor.

After Ren's visit yesterday, he asked the head nurse for an explanation of the drug and was referred to the hospital, where he was given a prescription before he came to pick me up today. I was so touched when the head nurse said, "You got a good mate."

It made my heart ache to think that he'd gone to that much trouble for me. I still can't believe that I'm sitting in the passenger seat of Ren's car right now, that he confessed to me yesterday, that he took the medicine, even though it's definitely real.

"Wakaba, welcome home!"

Mom's eyes were slightly moist as she ran up to me as soon as we arrived at my parents' house. I must have worried her a lot.

My mother is famous for her doting love for her family, but the reason for that is because of the exchange of lives when I was born. She talks about it now as a funny story, but at the time, she even decided that she would die if my father and I didn't survive. I think that her doting on her family was influenced in no small part by the trauma of that time.

"Come, show me your face."

"I'm home, Mom. Dad, too.

I hadn't seen my mother since I woke up, because she had been working so hard on my behalf. She'd only seen me unconscious on a stretcher in the emergency room. My dad had told her how I was doing, but she was so moved when she saw me safe and sound that she hugged me tightly and stroked my hair until it was a mess when we arrived at my parents' house.

"Oh, it's Wakaba. My Wakaba."

"I'm sorry for worrying you."

"I can't believe it, they're messing with my treasure. They're going to send me to the depths of hell. They won't get off easy, they will be humiliated to the extent that they will regret a hundred million times that they were born and that they met Wakaba. First, let's give them a special medicine to make their most sinful places necrotic and rotting away. Okay, I'll call Raizo later and get him to cooperate."

My mother smiled with a vicious expression on her face, which was frankly terrifying even for me, her son. I wondered how Ren, who was sitting next to me, would feel if he saw his mother in this state. But it seems that Ren agrees with Mom.

"Misae, please calm down. We're in public, okay? Come over here and sit next to me."

Dad patted the seat next to him and called for Mom, who sat down and crossed her legs with a slightly disgruntled look on her face. Dad smiled at her and handed her a cup of coffee with two sugars and plenty of milk. That was enough to lift Mom's spirits. She drinks her coffee black when she's with guests or at work, but she really has a big sweet tooth. It's a little strange that she likes both alcohol and sweets, isn't it? I've heard that people who like to drink often have a weakness for sweets.
