Chapter 82 - Chapter 82 Sakurajima Mai: Mom Is Acting Strange

Sakurajima Mai shrank back even more.

However, there was no intention of resisting.

Only her two blushing ears were visible from Rosen's perspective.

"Lord Rosen, please... be gentle."

The shy words, almost hummed from her nasal cavity, ignited the flame in Rosen's heart.

The treetops in the manor swayed in the gentle breeze, causing the leaves to rustle, accompanied by soft hums that sounded like both pain and pleasure.

.....

The next morning.

The bright sunlight rose as usual from the horizon, casting a golden veil over the lush green plants and gray modern buildings.

Golden sunlight pierced through the gaps in the curtains, leaving mottled light and shadows in the messy bedroom.

Sakurajima Mai's fruit phone ringtone sounded at the right time.

But it wasn't an incoming call, but the fruit phone's standard alarm.

The girl, instinctively waking up, fumbled for her phone. After opening her hazy sleepy eyes and seeing "8:30" displayed on it, her drowsy eyes instantly cleared.

"Oh no... This is bad! I'm going to be late for school!"

The girl, hastily getting up, then felt a slight tearing pain in a certain area.

Recalling what had happened last night, Sakurajima Mai's face began to warm.

But her hands still didn't stop looking for clothes.

Click!

The door opened.

The girl immediately used the clothes in her hand to cover herself.

It was Rosen.

Upon seeing the girl awake, he smiled and said, "You're awake? Good, I've prepared some breakfast."

"And you don't have to worry about being late; I've already requested a week's leave for you from school."

Sakurajima Mai's first reaction was, "Is it that easy to get a week off?"

However, she quickly accepted reality.

After Rosen left, she quickly put on a new set of clothes and then slowly walked to the living room.

On the table were bread, milk, eggs, and of course, many Chinese breakfast items.

"You made all these?"

Sakurajima Mai was very surprised.

Didn't Lord God not know how to cook?

"To be precise, I conjured them."

Because the magic of Frieren's world gave Rosen inspiration, he also tried to use the two abilities of 'Word of Power' and 'Fantasy Materialization' to successfully materialize and change the shape of matter.

However, breakfast items were simply 'conjured' by Rosen.

"I can't conjure overly complex dishes for now, and the taste isn't too great, but at least it's a standard taste."

It was like some pre-made takeout; you'd get tired of it after eating it for only a couple of days.

"I see..."

Sakurajima Mai didn't know what to feel.

She just felt... quite subtle.

"Your mother will be coming over soon."

"Pfft—!"

Upon hearing this, Sakurajima Mai almost spat out the soy milk she had just drunk.

"Don't be so nervous. There's no need to hide things between you and me. Do you still want to deceive your mother with another lie? Being honest with family is the best."

Just then, the doorbell rang.

Through the surveillance video at the door, a mature woman in an OL suit stood outside, feeling anxious and somewhat stern.

"Mom..."

Sakurajima Mai was speechless.

She actually came.

"I'll go let your aunt in."

As his voice fell, Rosen's figure vanished.

When he reappeared, Sakurajima Mai's mother had already been brought before the girl by him using Godspeed.

Honesty is honesty.

But Rosen at least had to let Sakurajima Mai's mother know that her daughter was not dating some disreputable rich second generation.

When identities and statuses become unequal, communication becomes much easier.

Just like now.

The mature beauty in the OL suit, due to Rosen's slight trick, entered a state of shattered worldview.

She looked at Rosen with an expression as if she had seen a ghost, and began to doubt her life of over thirty years.

Who am I?

Where am I?

What am I supposed to do?

"The rest is up to you, Mai."

Rosen finished speaking and gave the mother and daughter their private space.

About fifteen minutes passed.

Through Sakurajima Mai's description, her mother learned about her daughter's feelings, complaints, and misunderstandings, and also what kind of things she had experienced.

Although she found it incredibly bizarre, because Rosen had shattered her worldview, she easily accepted her daughter's explanation.

Finally, it was a happy ending where the mother and daughter understood each other and reconciled.

Seeing the mother and daughter embracing and crying, Rosen couldn't help but sigh that they were truly cut from the same cloth.

"Thank you. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't even know when I lost my daughter."

She, who had originally come with the intention of questioning, no longer had any other thoughts.

"You're welcome. Since she is my Dependents, I will certainly help, and I also have a question: Mai seems to have never met her biological father."

"This..."

The woman glanced at her daughter, then sighed.

"Actually, I once had a similar experience to Mai, but it wasn't about disappearing; it was about suddenly becoming pregnant."

The woman recounted the story, and Sakurajima Mai was incredibly shocked to learn the truth of her birth.

Her mother had also suffered from "Adolescent Syndrome" once, which manifested as "pregnancy."

Her family forced her to abort the child, but unwilling, she gave birth to Sakurajima Mai alone and then raised her by herself.

Because of her past experiences, the woman had placed all her hopes on her daughter, which was why she was so strict with Sakurajima Mai.

"So I don't have a father…"

Sakurajima Mai found it unbelievable.

This world was truly bizarre, but at the same time, she felt even more sorry for her mother.

"Regardless, I still have to thank you. My daughter will have someone to rely on in the future."

"If you, Auntie, also need help, I'd be happy to lend a hand."

Hearing this, the woman shook her head.

"Since Mai can live happily, I can rest assured. As for other things, I no longer dare to hope for too much."

She looked at Rosen's eyes with a hint of tenderness.

Sakurajima Mai suddenly felt that her mom's gaze towards Rosen seemed a bit strange.

Afterward.

Sakurajima Mai then left with her mother.

Since Rosen had given her a week off, she might as well spend some quality time with her mother.

Traveling was a good idea.

Meanwhile, Rosen once again clicked into the chat group, taking time to see what had happened in the group since yesterday.
