Chapter 86: Side Quest – Momma’s Interview Game
Sanae's POV
On the way to Yoruto's house, I remained silent throughout the whole journey. Doing some final mental preparation for when I meet my boyfriend's mother.
Yoruto seemed to have noticed my anxiousness and asked, "Nervous?"
"Yeah..."
"Don't worry. Like I have said: Imagine Hikari, but grown up."
"That's not what you said the last time."
"Did I? Whatever, just treat my mother as you would towards my little sister and you are good. Mom has already accepted you when I told her about you. So there shouldn't be any problem... I think."
"You think!?"
Does that mean his mother is like Hikari but worse, or Hikari but better?
Gosh. Now I'm even more nervous just thinking about that.
Before I knew it, we were standing right at the entrance to Yoruto's house.
I have been here before and wasn't particularly nervous back then. But now, I am incredibly so, taking a deep breath in and out right as Yoruto opened the door.
"Mom! Hikari! I'm bac— What the hell?"
The instant we entered the house, Hikari was there at the entrance waiting for us. Donning on a black suit and shades, with her hair tied in a ponytail.
"Welcome back, Bro. And Sis Sanae. The Godmother has been waiting for you."
""The what?""
Yoruto was just as confused as I am. But he seems to know more than I do, asking...
"What is Mom up to now, Hikari...?"
"No questions! And follow me! We have been waiting for hours already!"
"You have been standing at the entrance for hours, waiting for us?"
"Yes! So hurry up!"
Hikari then walked off. Yoruto and I looked at each other with questions on what was going on before following her behind.
Somehow, I am not nervous anymore...
We entered the living room where Hikari had gone to, and immediately came face-to-face with the "Godmother", turning her chair around in a dramatic fashion as she greeted us.
"Well well well... So you are the one who is dating my boy? My name is Asako. Welcome to my house."
Yoruto's mother was dressed in a similar black suit as Hikari, along with the shades.
However, I have a big question I really want to ask her.
Is that cat real? I don't recall this house ever having a cat living in it.
"Nice to meet you. My name is Sanae. It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance." I politely greeted her with a respectful bow.
"Umu. You seem like a respectable young lass. However, the lack of gifts displeases me. Where is my pudding, dammit!?"
So Yoruto's mother also likes pudding, huh?
"My apologies, Mrs Asako. I was in a rush and didn't buy any beforehand as a gift. I will bring them the next time I visit!"
"Hmph. Then that's fine. Also, it's Godmother right now!"
"Yes, Godmother!"
Umm... Mom?" Yoruto then interjected.
"Yes, Yoruto, my boy? Is there something you would like to ask?"
"A lot of things actually. But firstly, I was only gone for a few hours. Where did you get the cat?"
That's what I wanted to ask! Good job, my boyfriend!
"Oh. This is Miko. I got her from the local pet store after you left."
...She bought a cat while Yoruto was away? All for this parody play of The Godfather?
"You bought a cat while I was gone!? All for this parody play of The Godfather!?"
"Yes. Cute, isn't she?"
"Meow~"
Yoruto stared at the cat for a second and walked up to it to pat it.
"Nice to meet you, Miko."
"Meow~"
Suddenly, the cat jumped onto Yoruto and climbed up his body, sitting on his shoulders. Yoruto's mother cried out when Miko the Cat left her side.
"Ahhh Miko! Where are you going?"
I think Miko likes Yoruto more than his mother.
"I think Miko likes me more than you, Mom."
"Why!?"
Maybe because she prefers men?
"Maybe because she prefers men?"
"That's discrimination!"
Yoruto didn't seem to mind the cat on his shoulder. I tried to approach it to pat it as well, to which she seemed to enjoy and suddenly jumped onto my shoulder instead.
Heavy!
"Ah."
"Oh. Looks like Miko prefers Sanae more than me."
"Hahaha. I am honoured."
By the way, this is one fat cat. I'm surprised Yoruto can hold her up with his shoulders without a problem.
"So anyway, what's with all of this setup, Mom?" Yoruto asked while I'm struggling to keep Miko on my shoulder.
"Kukuku! I'm glad you asked." Godmother Asako laughed and snapped her finger. "Hikari, my girl, bring it out!"
"Yes, ma'am!"
Hikari went behind the sofa and pulled out a large board, placing it standing behind Yoruto's mother. Then, she also pulled out a makeshift cardboard stand and placed it in front of me, as well as handing me a big red button.
"Now, it's time for Momma's Interview Game!!!"
""...What?"" Yoruto and I looked at the board confused with the big words 'Momma's Interview Game' on it.
"The rules are simple. Contestant Sanae, you have to answer a series of questions made by me. And if you answer them all correctly, I, Godmother Asako, will acknowledge your relationship!"
But I thought she already did, according to Yoruto.
"Mom, I thought you had already accepted Sanae after I told you about her I-cup."
Wait. That's the reason your mom accepted me!?
"Hush! The audience can't speak!" Mrs Asako shut her son up. "Now, get ready, contestant. For we are about to begin!"
"So we're doing this, huh?"
"Of course! Momma has prepared all of this just for you. You are not going to back out now, are you!?"
Well, I honestly want to. However, out of consideration for Yoruto's mother, I decided to go along with it.
"Shoot your question, Godmother!"
"Attagirl!" Mrs Asako smiled happily and pulled a stack of question cards.
"I guess I will just prepare dinner then." Yoruto said and walked off, but Hikari stood in his way.
"Sorry Bro, but the audience cannot leave until the game is over." She said.
"Are you for real now, my sister?"
"Yes." Hikari replied, pulling out a nerf gun aimed at Yoruto to make him stay.
"Really...?" Yoruto sighed, took Miko off my shoulders and sat down on the couch.
"Just be quick with it." He said.
"Meow~"
And now, with everything set, Mrs Asako reads the first question.
"Question one! How long have you been dating my son?"
Beep! I pressed the red button and answered. "Almost a month. But we have known each other for over two years now."
Mrs Asako looked towards Yoruto for confirmation. To which Yoruto nodded attesting to it.
"Correct!" She then announced. "Okay! Now question two! What is my son's favourite food?"
Another easy question was shot out as I pressed the red button.
Despite how handsome and well-built Yoruto looks, his favourite food is actually dessert! Or to be more specific...
"Strawberry shortcakes!"
This time, Mrs Asako doesn't look at her son for confirmation, since naturally, as a mother, she would know what her son's favourite food is— Wait, why is she taking notes?
"Mom... Are you seriously taking notes of what my favourite food is?"
"Shut up! Momma did not know because you have never told me before! But now I do."
Err...
Why do I have a feeling that this interview game isn't about getting to know me...?
"Ahem!" Mrs Asako carried on the game. "Anyway... Correct! Now onto question three! How big is Yoruto's cock!?"
"What kind of a fucking question is that, Mom!?" Yoruto immediately questioned the appropriateness of the question.
Meanwhile I answered the question instantly.
"24.6 centimeters!"
"And how the fuck do you know that, Sanae!?" Again immediately, Yoruto questioned me, as I looked him in the eyes and replied pridefully.
"I measured it."
"With what!? And when!?" He raised more questions. While his mother took serious notes, murmuring something.
"Expected date when I become a grandmother - Soon..."
I wonder what she is writing?
But once she was done, she continued.
"Okay! Now question four!"
"No! No! No more! No more god damn questions!" Yoruto tried to end the Interview Game here.
But, as they say: The show must go on!
And so, it did. Surprisingly, the rest of the questions were fairly normal. Except for that one question where she asked about my bust-waist-hip measurements, which I had answered with pride.
And now, it is over.
"Congratulations, Sanae! You have passed the Interview Game! Welcome to the family!" Mrs Asako clapped and cheered while Hikari brought out the party popper which made Miko the cat run when it popped.
But was there even a chance that I would fail...? I guess it is like what Yoruto said, she had already accepted me.
However, I also find the whole questioning sad.
Throughout the whole game, a lot of the questions Mrs Asako had asked were questions that not even she knew the answer to. And most of them were asking about her own son.
Yoruto has told me about his mother being absent for most of his and Hikari's childhood. But I would have never thought that it would be this bad that she did not know about things about her children that most parents would.
It is sad, is all I could think about.
And yet, Mrs Asako smiles. Is it for her children who she is with right now, or for herself?
No. I shouldn't pry.
"Alright! Now that that's done, it is time for dinner!" Mrs Asako announced the end of the Interview Game.
"Wooo! Finally! I'm starving." Hikari cheered in response to that.
Mrs Asako and Hikari jumped excitedly as they dropped the whole Godfather mafia parody act and started acting like hungry goblins seeking for meat.
Yoruto was right. His mom is like a grown-up version of his sister. Well, personality-wise only. Physically, there is a large difference between them.
Two large differences...
But unfortunately for the oyakodon combo, Yoruto had to become the bringer of bad news and told them. "Sorry, dinner's not ready yet."
"What?"
"Huh?"
Yeah, I knew that.
""Why!?"" Mrs Asako and Hikari bellowed at Yoruto in disappointment, who sighed in response.
"Well, it would have been ready if a certain Godmother didn't force me to be an audience member and ordered her daughter to point a nerf gun at my head."
"Ah."
"Oh."
That's when they knew... they fucked up.
""We are sorry! Please make dinner for us!"" The mother and daughter pair grovelled and apologised, begging for Yoruto to provide them with a meal as soon as possible.
"Haaah... Give me thirty minutes." Yoruto said, as he got up and headed towards the kitchen.
"In the meantime, clean the living room and change your clothes! I'm not about to eat dinner with my girlfriend and two family members in suits!"
"Sir! Yes, sir!"
It seems like in this family, Yoruto is the real Godfather among them.
"You can just sit down and relax, Sanae. Sorry you had to go through with all of their antics."
"It's alright. I actually found it quite fun to participate in them."
"I see. Then, that's good."
Thirty minutes later, a delicious meal of steamed lobsters was served for dinner.
