The Impersonating Daimaou Wants to be Hated (WN): Chapter 133

 

Chapter 133: Mother's Influence

"Hey, Atom. Are you sure you're okay?"

 Inua-san, who is always so cheerful, looked at me over the steam rising from the teacup, her face clouded.

"It's still a little hot, but you can drink it now."

 The tatami-floored room, which had been used for guests since I was living here, was unexpectedly kept clean. For a brief moment, Elana's face flashed in my mind, but I quickly reminded myself that there was no way that was possible. Elana, who had become the attendant of the Knight of Light, would never have the time to do such a thing, nor would her master, Aquim-kun, have allowed it.

 There was no way that my mother would have cleaned the room so meticulously, so it must have been Sophia or one of her guests. My parent's house is a wooden house, which is rare in the Kingdom of Light, so having someone to take care of the house was a good thing.

"No, it's not like that. Look, I'm an idiot so I can't say it well, but, hmm~. Cheer up, okay?"

 Inua-san patted me on the shoulder. Kuku-san put the empty teacup on the table with the same arrogant attitude as usual.

“Kouhai, another cup.”

"Yes, yes."

 I picked up the teapot and poured it into Kuku-san's teacup. Inua-san still had an unexplained expression on her face, which for some reason amused me a little.

"Inua-san, I don't care. Please make yourself at home."

"Really? But... I was surprised. The rumored hero was someone like that."

"My pet doesn't know about Aquim Bonvoul's bad behavior. But honestly, my impression was a little different from the rumors."

"I guess so. I think he was indeed quite a bit more mature than he used to be, perhaps because he became a knight of light."

"Eh? That's it?"

"He's the kind of guy who can't help but brag about what he has. In the old days, I'm sure he'd have made more insinuations about Laura and Elana."

 Perhaps because he was concerned about his inferiority to Elana, who is also a member of the three families, and his sister Eluina, both in academics and magic, Aquim-kun had a strong obsession with being recognized by others. Therefore, he was always looked down upon by others for everything he did, and although this caused many problems, I did not dislike him for not crossing the line at the end of the day. But now he isーー.

 My body naturally trembled. What I remember is that unfathomable atmosphere. I wondered if that man who was there at that time was really the Aquim Bonvoul that I knew. It was as if he wasーー.

 While I was in awe of the man in my memory, I heard the front door open.

“Is mother back? Excuse me, I'll be out in a minute."

 I got up and was about to leave the room when I heard loud footsteps approaching with a slamming sound that made me stop. ......Not my mother's footsteps. It wasーー.

 The door to the room was slammed open.

“Atom, you're back!?”

"Sophia."

 Short black hair and dignified eyes common to women of the Shield family. She still had the same boyish look, but I could see a definite growth in her as a woman, so I naturally smiled at her.

"It's been a while, how have you been?"

 Sophia's eyes moistened for a moment. Then she immediately came toward me. Her eyes were hung up in anger, and above all, her clenched fists were radiating a small electric charge.

"It's been a while, huh! Why did you disappear? Stupid Atom!!"

"Noah!?"

 The impact that ran through my forehead made my upper body bend backward. Amazing, I lost sight of her fist for a moment.

"Ouch, ouch. You got better."

"I got worried, you know?"

 The tears that welled up in her determined eyes made my heart ache.

"Yeah. I'm really sorry."

"It's okay."

 Sophia smiled with tears on her face and gently hugged me. I hugged her back, feeling as if Elana was doing the same for me.

"I'm really sorry."

"That's all right. Welcome home, Atom."

"I'm home, Sophia."

 I can feel the feeling of returning home that had faded after meeting Aquim-kun and Laura again. It seems that I have a very simple personality.

"Cough*."

"Cough*, cough*."

 The deliberate sound of coughing causes Sophia and I to look in the same direction at the same time. There, Kuku-san and Inua-san were both looking at us strangely.

"...What's wrong? Both of you."

"Ah, you guys should separate first."

"Separate."

 I don't know why, but Kuku-san and Inua-san are trying to separate me and Sophia. Sophia frowned.

“Atom, who are these people?”

"I'll introduce them. They are the two members of the clan I am currently working for."

"Hello. I'm Kuku, Atom's great benefactor who takes care of her kouhai."

"I'm Atom's best friend Inua, who also takes care of Atom."

 These two are always weird, but today seems even weirder than usual. Compared to Rosina and Elana, Sophia has a much more modest chest.

"Nice to meet you, I'm Sophia. It seems that our Atom is indebted to you guys, but if things get tough, I'll take care of Atom. So please don't hesitate to say it to me."

 Is it my imagination? Sophia also feels a little strange. Kuku-san's and Inua-san's eyes became sharp.

"Hoh, our? I'd like to hear more about that."

"Hear more."

"I don't know the details, but Atom lived in our house when he was young, and to me, he's a family member. Even now, that hasn't changed. Atom's mother handed me the key, and I took care of the house."

 Seeing Sophia take out the key from her pocket, the two of them said something I didn't quite understand, such as "Even though he's my kouhai" or Gununu" ...Yep, let's not worry about that.

"Sophia, where's mother? I have some business with her."

"I haven't seen her in a while. It's been more than a month, so maybe it's for some other reason than work."

 She has a habit of disappearing abruptly without saying a word. Once, I wanted to know what she was doing and really looked for her, but in the end, I could not find her.

"I see.... I'm troubled."

 Sophia's face clouded as she guessed the situation from my words.

"You're having those symptoms again? I heard from onee-chan that it got better, though?"

"That's right, but recently it's gotten worse again. I've been taking medication to control... it."

 Then I realized that there were two people who didn't know what was going on.

“Atom, are you sick? Are you okay?”

 Inua-san asked with a worried look, and Kuku-san was also staring at me. For some reason, Sophia smiled triumphantly.

“Atom has some special circumstances, so you two don’t have to worry about it.”

"Even if you say that, it bothers me."

 Inua-san asks me about the situation with a glance, but surprisingly, Kuku-san rebuked it.

"No problem. We just need to ask kouhai later."

 I don't mind explaining it to them, but I certainly don't want to say much about it if I can help it. I think it's a really nasty body.

 As I sigh, I hear the front door open again.

 Step*, step*. Step*, step*. It was the sound of quiet footsteps, yet it never failed to assert that it was there.

 Step*, step*. Step*, step*. Click*.

"Oh, Mai-san. You're back."

 The black dress with the shoulders exposed and the cleavage of her breasts clearly visible. The most eye-catching thing about this dress, which emphasizes the woman's sex appeal, is her mysterious shining purple hair and her blue eyes, which shine like jewels. The beauty of this woman's figure, as if a fantasy had taken shape, made Kuku-san and Inua-san's eyes widen at the same time.

"...Mother, long time no see."

 

"Yes, it's been a long time. Ah, so you came to the house today too, Sophia-chan. You're always helping me with things like cleaning. Don't hesitate to tell me if you want something."

"N-no, it's alright, Auntie."

"Mother, please don't bother Sophia."

"I'm not bothering her at all. Sophia-chan is around that age, and even though she look like this, she's quite popular with people of the same sex, you know?"

 When my mother said that flirtatiously, the room seemed to brighten up for a moment. It's a pity, but it's true that even from her own son's point of view, I can't argue with the fact that my mother is beautiful, but it makes me feel bad to see my mother as a woman.

 Kuku-san and Inua-san also seemed to have guessed something from my mother's behavior.

“Kohai’s mother's job is…”

"Ah, you are new here. Here is my business card. I'll give you my service when you come to the store, so you can always pick me up. I have to warn you, I am very good at it."

 Written on the paper Mother handed her was the name of the biggest brothel in the Kingdom of Light. The name is rarely mistaken by those who are knowledgeable about them, but I wonder if Inua-san, aside from Kuku-san, would not make a strange mistake.

"Eh!? This is..."

 Inua-san's dog ears twitched in astonishment. It seems that this was an unnecessary worry, as she is a first-rate adventurer. The two women looked at me with indescribable concern as I felt at ease.

"Atom, I'll feed you from now on."

"I'll stop treating Kouhai like this."

"...You don't have to worry about it. Mother is just a weirdo who likes and works as a prostitute."

“Thanks to that, I had a hard time getting Atom-chan to listen to me when he was young.”

"I don't want someone who has a son and is proudly having an orgy in their home talking about that."

 Inua-san and Kuku-san's eyes widened when they heard about Mother's behavior, which was too problematic as a parent before she became a prostitute.

 My mother's gaze meaningfully crawls over my body.

"Son, huh. It seems that my son is not a complete son yet, though?"

"Eh? What do you mean by that?"

“…………”

 Inua-san looks around at all of us as if demanding an explanation. Surprisingly, Kuku-san did not ask anything. Perhaps she had sensed something.

“Auntie, about that..."

“Ara, are you keeping it a secret from those two? A secret can make a group stronger, but it can also easily break it. If you have sex with them now, they will find out anyway, so I think it would be better to tell your harem members the truth."

“These two are just my senpais in the clan, not harem members. Can you please stop saying that?"

"That's right, Auntie. Most of the people who make harems are trash."

 Sophia clenched her fists and showed a scary face. Mother smiled with an evil look.

"Arara~? Wasn't your sister a member of that harem?"

"Uu. T-that's..."

"Mother!"

 What a thing to say.

 Prompted by anger, before I knew it, I was shooting mana at my Mother. Inua-san's tail and ears stretched out, and Kuku-san took a step back. But even though she was facing my serious threat head-on, Mother kept a cool face.

"Hmmm. It looks like I've pissed off Atom-chan again. What did I do wrong? Raising children is really difficult~"

"You're the same as usual. That kind of thing about you, I really…”

 Hated it. I swallowed the words that followed.

 I've always disliked Mother's insensitivity, but I'm not here today to fight. Calm down, calm down.

"Umm, so what is it with Atom? It's not like he's sick, right? Right?"

"Whether or not you take it as an illness is up to you. Atom-chan, why don't you show me your body?"

 I was a little bit worried about it, but I reminded myself that we would have such opportunities if we were adventuring together, and I took off my clothes.

 Inua-san stared at my breasts, which were wrapped tightly in sarashi.

"Eh? Is Atom a girl? But last time I saw you." 

 Inua-san had seen my upper body several times, and at those times I had a completely male body, so I guess I had startled her more than I should have.

"Atom-chan, you see, was born with both male and female characteristics."

"Hermaphroditism"

 Kuku-san's mutter made Inua-san's ears perk up.

"Ah! I've heard of that too.... Eh? But I'm pretty sure a hermaphrodite person will have a fixed gender when they come of age."

"That's right. Hermaphrodites who have a certain amount of mana can control their own bodies, so they can choose their own gender, and once they choose, it won't change, so most hermaphrodites have their gender fixed by the time they reach adulthood."

"So Atom chose a girl? Why didn't you ask me?"

 I was intimidated by Inua-san for some reason.

"No, it's not like I need to consult you about that... or rather, I didn't choose a woman."

"That's right. No matter how much I try to convince Atom-chan of the virtues of being a woman, she won't listen to me, saying she's going to be a man. She has been trying to get a perfect male body since she was very young.”

“Mother, did you really think that a child who was told about how good a woman is, and who was shown his mother's shameful body, would say that I would become a woman too?”

"Yes~. Kerara~"

 Mother laughs in a rather peculiar way with her hands on her stomach.

 Seriously, how much does she really mean what she says? When I was working as an adventurer, I used to think that I was a rebellious kid who wasn't very mature towards my mother, but when I actually met her, it wasn't like that at all. In fact, I was impressed by how patient I used to be.

 Inua-san tilted her head.

"Then why does Atom have breasts?"

 Aside from my current body, which is strongly characterized by female features, I, as a man, don't mind having my breasts looked at, but I still don't like it when someone points at my bulging chest.

"The doctor said that as she grew up, my influence on her started to become stronger. That's why she can't choose the gender she's supposed to be able to choose through physical manipulation. It's funny, isn't it? Kerara~!"

 I involuntarily pressed my temples in front of my Mother who was really laughing at her son's suffering.

"Hmm? I don't really understand, are you saying that Atom can't become a man because of Atom's mother?"

"Wait, you beastman over there? That way of saying it hurts me~. Atom-chan's body has a problem with Atom-chan too, you know? In fact, when he was dating Elana, she had a man's body for more than a year, and maybe if they had stayed together, she would be a complete man now."

 Before the match with Aquim-kun, I think of that night with Elana, when the shining full moon was impressive. The feel of Elana's lips touching my cheeks. I have never been so conscious of being a man. But maybe that's why I'm not completely a man now.

 Kuku-san's green eyes stare into mine as if they can see right through me.

"Psychological influences."

"Yes. Magic is something that involves the mind, for better or worse."

"Hmm? Then why don't you just go out with someone else? That will solve the problem, right?"

 Are? Is it my imagination? For an instant, a strange spark fluttered between the three of them... Mother laughs.

"That's certainly the solution, but from a mother's point of view, I think it's better to just fuck as soon as possible. If you keep fucking women, you'll realize that you're a male, both physically and mentally. Right? Don't you think that's a good idea?"

"A-Auntie!"

"Oh. Atom is making women cry?"

"I didn't know kouhai was like that."

 The three of them take Mother's joke seriously. What? I just came back to my parent's house after a long time, but I'm already starting to want to leave.

"No, I won't do it, okay? Mother, enough of this! I'm about to get really mad."

"Ara, I'm pretty serious, you know? If you want it, I can handle your first time, Atom-chan."

 Saying something that made my hair stand on end, Mother put her hand on her skirt. The traumas that came back to my mind. I heard something snapping somewhere in my head.

“Don’t put your hands on you skirt!! You fucking bitch!!”

"Uwa!?"

 Inua-san jumped and Kuku-san retreated a couple of steps at my earnest threat, which even had the intent to kill her. Of course, it had no effect on Mother.

"Auntie, that's enough. If you do anything else, Atom will get upset again. Atom, calm down, you know she has no ill will toward you."

"Haa, haa... damn it."

 This sucks. I had a lot of experiences, and I thought I had grown up, but I feel like I've been back to being a rebellious child again.

“Anyway, I don't want to talk about this kind of thing, so please stop. And these girls are my senpais and my dear friends. Don't be rude to them."

“Atom-chan is exaggerating as usual~. For example, I have sex when I want to make friends, I have sex when I want to reconcile, and I have sex when we say goodbye at the end, you know? In other words, sex is all-powerful."

"I'm sorry, but can you shut up?"

"Uwa, this child. How long will this rebellious period last?"

"Listen!!"

“Atom, please calm down. She didn't mean anything by it!...... maybe."

 I was about to hit my mother, but Sophia stopped me by holding me from behind.

"Aren't they too close together?"

"Dislike."

 For some reason, Inua-san and Kuku-san's eyes are cold when they look at me and Sophia. Mother let out a sigh.

“Haa, Atom-chan really is a useless child compared to her big sister.”

"Eh? Atom have an older sister?"

"I'll say hello."

"Ah, me too, me too."

"No, I've never met my sister either. My mother abandoned her when I was very young."

 Thanks to that, when I was young, I used to worry about when my mother would abandon me. With all the resentment I had back then, I glared at Mother, who had a calm face, as hard as I could.

 Kuku-san and Inua-san also looked at her reproachfully when they heard that she had abandoned her child, but no matter how they looked at her, Mother was still smiling.

"It's okay, it's okay. That kid is so talented that you can't even compare Atom-chan to her. Besides, I've entrusted her to someone I can really trust, so there's nothing Atom-chan to worry about, you know?"

 Ah~. No! No!! After all, talking to Mother makes me lose my mind. Let's just get our stuff done and get out of the house before I beat the crap out of my own mother.

"Mother, I'm sorry, but can I ask for medication and masculinization magic?"

"Yes, yes. No matter how old you are, Atom-chan is really a spoiled child~. I have one condition."

"…………What is it?"

"Since there are so many cute girls, let's all have an orgy."

“Die, old hag!!”

 Without even giving Sophia time to intervene, I threw my wind-clad fist at this hag's face with all my might.

"Mother uppercut!!"

"Guooh!?"

 A shock to my lower jaw. Right after that, the scenery turns around, turns, turns, and turns...?

"Uwa!? Atom is dead!?"

“Kouhai, kouhai… Atom!? It's no good. We'll start the treatment."

"Auntie!! You did it too much."

 What? Sophia and the others multiplied?

 Amidst the blurred scenery, the only one who shines with a loathsome presence smiles a bewitching smile, as if to say that everything would be resolved with this.

"Now, that the obstacle is gone. Let's all have a friendly chat."

"Fuck you, you old hag!"

 With my last ounce of strength, I gave the old lady the middle finger. Immediately after, everything went dark.
