Chapter 40

“I’m hooome…”

“I’m home.”

“Excuse the intrusion.”

“Excuse me~.”

When Kazuhiko arrived home, three voices followed him.

There was Reika, wearing a face that said she was already a member of the family, and then Moeka and Tachibana, who had finally launched an invasion on his home.

Seeing her son towing along three beautiful girls, his mother’s eyes went wide.

“Kazuhiko… you…”

His mother audibly gulped.

“You’re not doing anything bad, are you? Like using a hypnosis app.”

No, no, it’s not me, it’s this one—or rather, these girls!

Kazuhiko wanted to scream that at the top of his lungs.

“Well, there’s no way you could do that. If anything, you’d be the one it’s done to, right? Ahaha.”

Mother, that is correct.

Kazuhiko harbored complex feelings toward his mother, who understood her son so well. At the same time, he decided to put a lid on the question of why the concept of a “hypnosis app” had even popped into his mother’s head.

Send that thought to the far side of the universe! Begone!

Just as Kazuhiko’s eyes were about to roll back in his head, Moeka Mama began her self-introduction.

“Nice to meet you, I’m Watatsumi Moeka~. Kazuhiko-kun has been taking good care of me~.”

Thank goodness!

She didn’t say “Moeka Mama” or call him “Kazuhiko-chan” or talk about taking care of him!

However, seeing her play the role of a gentle, sociable, beautiful girl so perfectly made Kazuhiko, who knew her inner nature, feel a chill run down his spine.

This must be how psychopaths hide within human society. Or rather, a Psycho-Mama?

“I’m Kurobe Tachibana! I’m getting along well with Kazuhiko-kun!”

Tachibana said energetically.

This surely made a good impression.

Who would ever think that she was a “Useless Manufacturing Machine” who couldn’t help but want to lavish money on men?

—Thinking about it like this, it’s a horror story. Since all three of them have such good public faces…

Non-humans are lurking within the human world…

Kazuhiko felt like he was losing his ability to trust people.

“They are both my best friends,” Reika spoke up. “I wanted the two of them to get to know Kazu-kun better today.”

“Heeh.”

His mother looked at Kazuhiko.

What is that look?!

“To be able to make friends with such cute girls… you’re lucky to be dating Reika-chan, Kazuhiko.”

“……”

“Make sure you don’t do anything rude to them. And you absolutely cannot make Reika-chan sad, okay?”

Mother, in that case, is it safe if Reika makes me sad?

And being made to call someone “Mama,” or having hard cash flashed in my face at every opportunity—wouldn’t that be called rude behavior?

—I don’t get it…

Kazuhiko had to desperately suppress the urge to let his mind drift off into the cosmos.

“Well then, shall we go, Kazu-kun?”

“Fufu, time to check Kazuhiko-chan’s room~.”

“I wonder if it’s acceptable to leave bundles of cash under the bed.”

Hey, you two in the back! It’s fine that Mom can’t hear you, but I can hear you perfectly, you know?!

The space under my bed isn’t a hiding spot for buried treasure! Having porn mags down there would be healthier than that!

Despite not having reached his room yet, Kazuhiko’s life bar was already flashing red.

And so, the three of them invaded his room.
