Chapter 465 — The One she once was.
It’s a pain I was the only girl mom had... I grew up with a character to fight my brothers but not others. She always used to say-
"Elizabeth! What were you doing at school this late? Classes ended long ago, a miss shouldn’t get home this late, how many times do I have to tell you? I hope that at the very least you show good manners to your classmates, huh."
... that. That’s exactly what she used to say... heh. She never changed, huh? It was never a "Hello! How was school?" or "Good morning~ are you ready for school? Did you have breakfast?"... but instead it was this kind of talk I received on a daily basis.
"Your brother needs this to be washed, help me in the house now that you deigned to arrive."
"... Alright, mom. Let me leave my stuff in my room and I’ll help."
’Sigh~... I should have started to be more rebellious earlier... not after the kidnapping when I wasn’t patient enough to endure her little care about my depression...’ — I thought while I saw this usual scene again... aware that given the age I was in this memory those gods were showing me, meeting Seth and being kidnapped by him was soon to happen.
"... Elizabeth, I made spaghetti. Would you like some?"
"Oh~ Yeah, thanks, mom."
’... heh... mom’s as dry as always...’ — While looking at her usually annoyed face smiled only for a moment after I replied lively quite lively, she gave my long hair a nice stroke before quickly going back to the usual severity while sighing and sitting next to me, to which I laughed. Knowing it was unfair... yet it was what little she could give of love after having to raise three kids in more poverty than the wealth she would have liked, alone because dad wasn’t there.
"What’s for dinner?!"
"Hey! Get off!! I arrived first!!"
"Trevor! Kevin! Don’t make a fuss as soon as you arrive!!"
