145 - Breakfast With the Parents

"Good morning Amane."

Amane's parents were waiting for him at the living room.

Breakfast was being prepared, and that includes Amane's share. Dishes could be heard being prepared in the kitchen, and a familiar flax color could be seen. Mahiru was probably making omelettes.

"...Morning."

"Hurry and sit down now. Mahiru-chan's making breakfast for you now."

"Oh."

It took Amane a while to arrive, for he had to cool himself down in various ways. Thus Mahiru, who should have spent much time tidying herself, was already making breakfast.

it might be better for Amane since they agreed to have omelettes, but a little more restraint would be prudent.

"You two are really on good terms."

"...Well we're dating, that's very normal, right?"

"You say so, but this is beyond boyfriend and girlfriend. She is acting like a young wife."

The moment Shuuto suddenly said so while looking towards Amane, one could hear a plate dropped in the basin.

Luckily, it did not shatter, but surely it was because Mahiru was greatly rattled.

"Ara, Mahiru-chan, are you fine?"

"Y-yes, the plate is not broken. I apologize for dropping it..."

"That's fine~ everyone makes mistakes."

This mistake was caused by them, but Amane never mentioned this, and ignored Shihoko's leer towards him.

"So, did something happen yesterday?"

Mahiru made omelettes for Amane, sat down, and the quartet had breakfast.

Shihoko went straight for the haymaker the moment Amane had a mouthful in his mouth, and the latter froze.

He slowly chewed since it would be bad to talk while talking, and once done, he said,

"...Why do you think so?"

"We realized you two were a little different once we got back, so our guess is that something happened."

"Don't underestimate your parents. We're able to see how our son has changed."

Amane intended to act as normal, but it appeared his parents has seen through them.

They looked a little worried, but he had crossed the hurdle. It was in the past, and nothing to worry about.

"Nothing much. I just met Tojo. Had a few words with him."

"Ah, so that's how it is...problem is solved, I suppose?"

"Well yeah. I've overcome this. I don't think I'll be frustrated by them again."

"You're acting more like a man. That's a good thing."

Shuuto seemed really relieved to know that Amane was fine.

Back then, Amane caused his parents much worry, which lasted till this day. Amane did buck up a little after he started high school, but it seemed this was still a concern to his parents.

While Shuuto looked a little more relieved, Shihoko seemed a little dumbfounded to hear Tojo's name.

"That Tojo hasn't changed at all. Well, his parents are decent, and he's still in his rebellious phase."

Shihoko had vast connections due to her personality and work reasons, so many that it was pointless. Amane could not imagine the adults having such relationships, but perhaps it was because he did not know.
