Chapter 233 She's My Mom
Chapter 233 She's My Mom
Kafka, an elegant and dashing woman in a suit, is also a gentle and reliable mother—or perhaps, a "mom-type" girlfriend?
Thinking of her girlfriend, Qiong couldn't help but start daydreaming: Look, Kaffa is the mother figure to the Star Core Hunters, and Raiden Mei is the mother figure to St. Freya; Kaffa's weapon includes a katana, and Mei's weapon is also a katana; Kaffa is lightning-type, and Mei is also lightning-type, so we can assume that Kaffa ≈ Mei... Wait, what is all this nonsense?! What am I thinking?!
Coming to her senses, Sora looked at "Kafka" opposite her, trying to get some response to continue the conversation, but it was no use. After that "Mom," "Kafka" didn't say anything, not even the smile on her face changed... Although there was no evidence, Sora felt that the smile was a laugh born of extreme anger.
It was as if she would do something completely out of character the next second: for example, run over and slap herself twice, then point a submachine gun at his head with one hand and grab his collar with the other, questioning him (even though he himself didn't know what Kafka would question...).
Although the things I imagined above have not yet happened, Qiong still feels immense pressure—even more so than when she met Ryoma.
Where does this damn tension come from?
"I heard you've lost your memory again?"
Finally, the purple-haired beauty in front of her crossed her legs, skipped the previous question, and went straight to asking.
Qiong, who was restless, suddenly snapped to attention and immediately started nodding repeatedly—regardless of the consequences, she would just muddle through for now.
Kaffa's face showed no change, but beneath the mask of Ether Editor, a fleeting hint of disappointment flashed across Firefly's face.
"Forgot again? But you still remember 'me,' which means you remember something, right?"
Qiong: ...
Don't say anything at this time. Wait for "Kafka" to react. She didn't come to me just to chat, right? I bet her next sentence will be something like "Eriol's script" and so on.
If a cat's script calls for him to leave Earth as soon as possible, then Qiong will probably have to find a way to hold him back and compromise.
Do you remember any other Star Core Hunters?
"Forehead……"
Somewhat surprisingly, they're still asking questions instead of explaining things to Eriol?
Qiong nodded, but then shook his head again when he thought of the possible crisis that might follow—just pretend he doesn't know him, we'll have to coordinate with Lao Yang later!
Has he forgotten or not?
"Perhaps, some parts were forgotten?"
Seeing Qiong's expression, like a child caught by his mother, Silver Wolf had a plan.
"Listen to me, I have a plan! Quick, use Kafka's name to make him break up with that native! Then tomorrow we'll call him out and give him a chance to be a hero!"
"Don't be nervous. I heard from the people on the Starry Sky Train that you've lost your 'past.' You know you have amnesia, but you don't know what you've lost or how much you've lost. You must feel very helpless, right?"
"Kafka" put down her crossed legs and spread her hands, her tone very relaxed.
If she could, she really wanted to hold Sora in her arms and give her a little sense of security by temporarily relieving her Sam state, but she couldn't, because she and Kafka were quite different in some ways. It was better to keep a certain distance for now, but once they made direct contact, it would be easy for her to be exposed. What would happen if she was exposed? Firefly didn't dare to think about it, and neither did Silver Wolf.
"So, during this time, you met that girl when you were feeling helpless, and she filled the void in your heart, right?"
Qiong really wanted to say that was wrong, but refuting Kama... never mind, he didn't want to have a submachine gun pointed at his head or be subjected to incantations.
“But you don’t belong here. You were born for adventure and shouldn’t stay on this planet.”
"Kafka" stood up, and Sora subconsciously stood up as well.
"Listen to me, break up with that girl..."
"Wait! Kaffa, please listen to me!"
No, is there really any need to use Words of Power?! Can't we have a pleasant conversation? If you're planning to solve this with Words of Power, you might as well just hold a submachine gun to his head (after all, KAMA definitely wouldn't want to fire).
"Qiong, I'll pay the bill—wait?"
Anna, who had just returned from elsewhere, stopped abruptly, looking at "Kafka" in front of her with a puzzled expression.
"who are you?"
"Kafka" tilted her head and looked directly at Anna—although the person in front of her was smiling, Anna felt that this woman with colored contact lenses was a bad woman with a fake smile, and seemed to have a strong hostility towards her.
Could it be that brute's adversary? Like some senior member of the Far East branch who's unhappy about Sora's promotion to captain and's come looking for trouble? But it seems the unyielding Sora wants to rebel? Her hostility towards me must be because I suddenly appeared and ruined her plans!
"Hello, nice to meet you, I'm Kafka."
Kafka or not, Anna didn't care. She only cared what this woman, who clearly didn't seem like a good person, wanted to do to Sora. Anna's previously leisurely pace suddenly quickened, and she stepped in front of Sora. As she got closer, she noticed Sora was agitated and nervous: her hands were picking at her nails, and her legs were trembling slightly—don't ask her how she knew, she'd learned it in the last couple of days! It was rudimentary, but enough.
"What do you intend to do to Sora?"
Anna made no attempt to hide her hostility towards Kaffa. Someone so hostile towards her, and even about to argue with Sora, must be a bad person! When a junior clashes with a wicked woman, as a senior, she must stand up!
"senior!"
Qiong stared at Anna in shock: What are you doing? You were fine just now, why are you acting like you're questioning a bad guy?
Although, we Star Core Hunters are indeed bad guys who have done a lot of evil.
He was grateful that Anna had interrupted "Kafka," which was probably a spell to break up with him, but Sora still wanted to handle it herself and not let Anna interfere.
"Senior, she is my mother."
"what?"
Anna looked at Sora, then at Kafka.
----------------
"Auntie, would you like something to eat?"
"No need, little girl, I'm not hungry."
"Haha, I really didn't expect that a woman as young and beautiful as you would already be the mother of someone as old as Qiong. I thought you were his older sister!"
Kaffa maintained that smiling face, but the more she smiled, the more flustered Anna became—but seeing Anna's panic, Sora calmed down instead.
Looking at Anna, Qiong's lips twitched slightly: Shameful! Is this appropriate? He, a grown man, cannot act like this.
Regardless of what Qiong did, Anna's heart was in her throat, and she was so nervous that she didn't know what to do with her hands and feet, just like Qiong's previous restlessness.
From the moment she left until now, she has completely lost control of her facial expressions: if Qiong and "Kafka" weren't here, she would probably have already burst into tears.
What should I do? I went out to dinner with a junior colleague I like, and I accidentally offended his mother. How can I make amends?
What hostility? What bad woman? How could such a beautiful older sister be a bad woman? As for hostility, isn't it normal for a mother to look at her son with a scrutinizing gaze when she sees him having dinner with another girl?
Look at us now, where does this hostility come from? (Because Liu Yin and the others remembered that Qiong's girlfriend looked similar to a certain fake sea patrol ranger, and Anna definitely wasn't her.)
"Kafka, if I could, I wouldn't want to break up with Mei."
Mei? Raiden Mei? Anna was stunned for a moment. Sora's mother didn't approve of Sora's relationship with Mei?
Oh, that's such a shame.
"Mei? You mean your girlfriend's name? Have you thought about yours—"
"I will arrange everything!"
At times like these, you have to be firm! Even if it's difficult for you, even if Kaffa is unhappy, you have to stand your ground! As long as she gives in, then Sora can find an ally!
"Silver Wolf, I think..."
No, you don't want to! Firefly, calm down, I beg you, calm down!
---------------
Everyone, please take care of yourselves and don't worry your parents.
Try not to tell your family about minor ailments, because your parents will genuinely worry about you. Especially your mom, she'll call at least twice a day to urge you to eat breakfast and go to bed…
I originally planned to release a Mei side story on April 4.13th (I don't need to tell you what day April 4.13th is, right?), but my health isn't up to it, so I have to give up...
Take care of yourselves, everyone!
