Chapter 61: Dinner for three.

The door opens, and a young man stumbles out. Leaning against the wall as he did.

 "Ugh... Isami really drained me for everything I had..."

After the first shot, Isami kept pounding me until I came 3 more times. Add on the final one in the bath, that makes it a total of 5.

'I can't tell if it's a blessing or a curse I can do put out that many times...'

Standing in front of the door to my apartment, I take a moment to collect myself.

'It'd be awkward if mom found out I did it with Isami immediately after she became my girlfriend.'

"Act normal. Act normal..."

I steel myself and press my thumb on the sensor. Unlocking the front door.

Grabbing the handle, I pull the door open-

"Where were you?"

"Ahh!?"

I frantically stumble back a step. Once I had opened the door wide enough, I saw mom menacingly standing right behind it.

"Mom you scared me!"  I say outloud, though exaggerating it a little. 

Without warning, mom reached out, grabbed my arm, and pulled me in. Closing the door behind me after.

"Mom what- Hiik!?"

Out of nowhere mom began kneading my balls over my shorts. Not painful, but with enough pressure to make my breath hitch.

"... They're light."  she mutters.

Mom looks up, and meets my gaze.

"You did it with Isozaki-san, didn't you?" 

Her low voice and commanding tone made the mere thought of lying disappear completely.

"I, I... Yes..."  I confessed, nodding meekly.

"Hmmm...."  Mom goes into thought. Looking down, she kneads my balls like they're a stress toy.

"Mmph- Ngh...." 

And I could only take it quietly.

'How did she even think to check?!'

Finally, she looks up and meets my gaze again.

"...... I was hoping we could do it tonight, but I guess we can do it tomorrow instead."  she says, freeing my nuts from her hold.

"... I'm sorry, mom. I- We, got carried away."

After that, neither of us said anything for a while.

Then, mom exhaled deeply. Like a balloon deflating.

"Mom is sorry too, Andy."

Reaching out, mom caressed my head in tender strokes.

"I don't know what came over me."

Then- her tone suddenly dropped.

"It was like my instincts were telling me someone was overstepping their bounds..."

Mom fixes me with an almost obsessive glint in her eyes.

Seeing that, I got flustered.

'What should I do to calm her down?'

I quickly racked my brain for an answer.

And the solution I came up with is-

*Chu~*

A kiss on the cheek.

Her eyes widened at the unexpected, but welcome affection.

"You'll always be my number 1, mom. So please, don't get jealous."

Mom's mouth hangs open for a second before shifting into a smile.

"Really? I could have sworn I heard you say you'd love all of your girlfriends equally."  she says, her tone teasing.

"Well... Yes, but I didn't factor in the "Mom Buff" when I said that, so..."

"Fufu~ My baby is quite the minx. ♥"

Mom leans in.

*Chu-*

And steals a kiss from my lips.

"You must be tired since Isozaki-san wrung you dry, so I'll be the one to cook dinner tonight. You go rest in your room, Andy."  Mom says, turning around she heads back inside.

For a moment I considered telling her I can still cook dinner later, but soon decided to accept her thoughtful consideration.

'It shouldn't hurt to take it easy every now and then.'

With that decided, I head to my room, and close the door.

.

.

"....."

After confirming Andy has entered his room, Hana takes out her phone and opens the LINE app.

[Isozaki-san.]

[Come eat dinner with us tonight.]

[We have something to discuss.]

After messaging Isami, she turns off her phone and puts it down.

'It's best she knows how far she can go.'

Hana rises from her seat, and heads to her room.

'If she drains Andy too often, it won't just be me, but the others will be upset too.'

.

.

Later that day.

After receiving mom's call, I stepped out of my room and head for the table. 

But a strange sight greeted me when I arrived.

'Huh? Why are there three chairs?'

Instead of there being only two, there were now three chairs at the dinner table.

*Thunk*

Mom put down two hefty bowls onto the table. Judging by the contents, tonight's dinner seems to be oyakodon.

Looking at the chicken and custardy eggs drizzled with savory-sweet sauce, my mouth soon began to water.

'That looks really good.'

'No- Wait.'

I quickly shake my head.

"Mom, why is there a third chair? Are we expecting someone?"  I ask, curious about its existence.

Before answering, mom placed a third bowl on the table.

"Yes we are. She should be coming any second now."

Not long after, I heard the doorbell ring. 

I looked at mom, but she simply gestured for me to get it.

'I wonder who it could be for mom to be so secretive.'

With that thought in mind, I bring my eye to the peep hole to check who it is.

On the other side of the door stands a familiar gremlin. Oddly well-dressed too. Wearing a long-sleeved collared shirt, a black tie, and a pair of black pants. Looking like a salaryman getting off work.

'What is... Wait- Is Isami the guest we're expecting?'

Having confirmed it's someone I know, I grab the handle and push down.

When I opened the door, Isami met my gaze and the corners of her lips rose into a smile.

"Good evening, Andy!"  she says all excited.

But that doesn't explain why she's here.

"Isami, what are you doing here?"  I asked simply.

Isami tilts her head in response.

"? Did mother not tell you?"

"?! Mot-"

"..... Yeah. She didn't tell me anything."

'She's already addressing mom as "mother," huh? She sure is quick.'

From inside, the person mentioned called out.

"Come inside, you two! Don't let the food go cold!"

"Okay, mom!"  I yelled back. 

Looking back at Isami, I open my mouth to say something, but reluctantly close it soon after.

"... Let's inside."  I say, turning around to head back inside.

Isami nodded, then moved to switch to guest slippers.

And unsurprisingly, every pair was too big for her. Painting a ridiculous sight of her small feet in oversized slippers.

Following behind me, Isami stole glances of the place. Noting down in her head what her boyfriend's apartment looks like.

As we got close, the sound of the TV playing in the background grew louder. Though not enough to be hindrance during dinner.

"Welcome, Isozaki-san. I'm glad you came."  Mom says with a small smile on her face. Having put away the apron, I can now clearly see the collared shirt and pants she's wearing. 

'Should I go change into something nicer?'

Feeling out of place in my shirt and shorts, I seriously considered changing. Something a little nicer like a long sleeve shirt and jeans.

"Thank you for inviting me, mother!"  Isami bowed her head deeply at mom. Gravity pulling her tie down as she did.

And it was so brief that I thought I imagined it, but I'm certain mom flinched when Isami called her "mother."

"... Right. Since you're one of Andy's girlfriends now, it isn't strange for you to call me mother, Isami-san."

"Yes, mother!"  Isami spoke outloud. She raises her head, letting me see the nervous smile on her face. A few drops of sweat beading on her forehead.

Mom gestures to the third chair she brought out earlier. 

"Sit down, Isami-san."

"Thank you, mother!"  Isami replied in a voice louder than necessary.

She then sat down at the designated chair while mom and I took our own seats after.

As for the seating arrangement, the chairs are arranged like a triangle. Mom is at the top point, Isami at the left point, and I at the right point. In other words, mom is to my right while Isami is to my left.

Looking over, I noticed how stiffly Isami is sitting. Back straight, hands on her lap.

"Isami, relax. You don't have to be so nervous. We're just eat gonna dinner."

Mom nods at words.

"Andy is right. If things go well, you'll be my daughter-in-law in the future. So please, feel at home, Isami-san."

"O-Okay!"

At our insistence, Isami relaxed a little. Leaning into her chair lightly.

'Better than she was before at least.'

I shift my gaze, and look over at mom.

"By the way, Mom, why did you invite Isami over to eat dinner with us?"

Mom meets my gaze, and calmly answers my question.

"I simply wanted to talk to your new girlfriend face to face, Andy. And there are things she needs to know going forward."

Mom looks over at Isami.

"But we can discuss it while eating. The food will get cold if we wait any longer."

Mom claps her hands together. Isami and I naturally followed after her.

"""Thank you for the meal."""

After performing the pre-meal ritual, I reach for my chopsticks and pull them apart.

Using the two ends, I cut a piece of chicken into two. Taking one half and some egg, I bring the food to my mouth.

"Mm~ So good."  I comment. Soon I follow it up some rice. 

"The sauce is really tasty, mom." 

Though mom didn't look over, I could still see her smiling at the compliment.

"I'm glad you like it, Andy."  she says before continuing to eat.

"Eh? You're the one who made dinner tonight, mother?"  Isami asked, looking over at mom.

Mom's chopsticks stopped in place. She raises her gaze, and looks at Isami.

"Yes. Yes I did. Because a certain someone tired Andy out."  mom says. Her lips curled into a chilling smile.

"!? Ah- Ahahahah..."  a nervous laugh echoed from Isami as she looks away.

"Mom..."

"... Sorry. I shouldn't have said that."

At that, the mood quickly became awkward.

"So... Mom, what did you want to tell Isami?"  I ask, hoping to liven the mood again.

"Ah, right." 

Mom looks over at Isami again.

"Isami-san."

"Yes, mother?"  Isami reluctantly meets mom's gaze.

"Don't do it with Andy too often. Limit it to once a week. My son needs enough rest, and we want our share of intimacy."

'! She's revealing it to Isami already!?'

Despite dropping a truth bomb, mom calmly ate some chicken.

"Ah, of course- Wait- What?!"  Isami yelled outloud. Shocked at what she just heard.

"Mother, c-could you repeat that?? I think I misheard. No- I'm sure I misheard you."

"No. You heard me correctly, Isami-san."  Mom says. Putting her chopsticks down, she wipes her lips with a tissue.

Her gaze sweeps the table. Stopping at Isami. Her lips curl into a smirk.

"Allow me to reintroduce myself. I am Andy's mother, and his future first wife."  she says it like it's a fact. Though it actually is one.

Meanwhile, Isami sat there. Jaw dropped, eyes blown wide open.

"Ah- Ah.... You- You two, huh?!"

Isami looks back and forth between mom and I. Which, is reasonable reaction. Unlike with Hina, mom didn't show the document immediately.

While Isami was trying to process this new information, I picked up some egg and rice, then ate them.

'Yummy...'

After a couple more minutes, Isami finally managed to form a sentence.

"Mother, I know the Incest Law is being heavily debated right now, but it hasn't been passed yet. So shouldn't you-"

"We're a unique case."  I spoke up. Causing Isami to turn me with a bewildered look on her face.

"We got tested. Which revealed mom and I are genetically compatible to reproduce. So even if we have children, they'll be healthy. Even more than others too."

Isami's jaw dropped again. Hanging open for a couple seconds this time.

"No- What?? But you two are... That's possible?!"

I nod.

"I'll show you the document later, but yes. It is."

At my words, Isami sat still for a few seconds before slumping in her chair. Hands dragging down her face.

"What kind of crazy light novel are we in for this to happen..."  she muttered.

But it's as if the world wasn't finished with her, yet.

The once calm News broadcast abruptly shifted to a Breaking News report.

["Breaking News! We just received confirmation that the highly debated Incest Law has actually passed!"]

["This new law permits two close relatives the freedom to marry each other. However, it is only permitted up to one generation. Second generation and onwards will not be legally recognized."]

"""..........."""

Isami slowly turns her head to face me.

"Andy... I think I'm dreaming right now. Could you pinch me please?"

While she was struggling to accept reality, mom was the complete opposite.

Her smile is the widest I've ever seen her make.

Pure, unadultered joy beaming on her face.
