As I look at the bouquet of brightly colored carnations placed in front of me, I cross my arms and ponder with a serious expression on my face.
　Mother's Day ... it can be considered a very smiling and warm event. In fact, as far as 'my own mother' is concerned, I was able to enjoy a family reunion while being a filial parent.
　But now, there is a carnation in front of me, and my expression as I look at it is probably like a warrior going to a decisive battle.

''........Kite, just to make sure.......are you insane?　This might be a bad idea. Of course, I'll do my best to deal with it when the time comes, but if it gets out of control, it will be extremely troublesome.
''Yeah, to be honest I'm anxious too, and I've been shaking for a while now, but after what we've been through...''

　The reason why Alice asked me if I was sane with a shivering expression and my body was trembling in an interesting way with a single bouquet of carnations was because I was thinking of giving this bouquet to Eden-san from now on....
　No, to be honest, I want to doubt my own sanity and I can't help but be afraid of Eden-san's reaction. However................However.

　
　The same is true of the Fea-sensei incident, but he also gave Alice and the others hints in the fight against Shiro-san, and helped explain things to my aunts and uncles when I returned to Earth... frankly, he's been a tremendous help to me.

　After thinking about what would make Eden-san happy, I came up with the conclusion that a bouquet of carnations would be the least we could do as human beings, and I prepared it.
　But I can't predict Eden's reaction when I gave it to her. This is the first time I've ever given something to Eden-san.
　I'm not sure what happens when Eden-san, who is usually, to put it mildly, a bad person, raises the tension even more...I can't even imagine what happens.

　I've taken all the measures I can take. I've asked Alice to be able to move at any time to deal with the situation while she's appearing like this. Whenever you meet with Eden-san, Eden-san becomes combative, so he's not here, but I've asked him to stay a little farther away, and I've told him that if he reacts in any way, I want him to move immediately.
　I also asked Shiro-san, but it seems that Shiro-san can't interfere in the exchange between Eden-san and I because of his promise to Eden-san, so he said he can't help.

''However, it's no use worrying about it forever. Alice, I'll call Eden-san now........please.
''Yes, leave it to me. I've already activated Hecaton Cale's Ultimate Battle Form as well, and it should be able to handle most situations.

　After a grave exchange, which I can't believe is just a gift of a carnation, I lightly pour my magic power into the single feather Eden-san gave me.
　Immediately, a dazzling light envelops the room, and when the light clears, Eden-san appears.

''It's unusual for my child to call me. No, of course I am happy. A mother wants to be with her beloved child for as many seconds as possible, and yes, my dear child.......
Oh, uh, Mr. Eden!
Yeah?　What's going on?

　I was on full throttle from the moment he showed up, and I interrupted him in the middle of a horribly long speech, as if he was going to get a horribly long speech if I let him go.
　Then I held out a bouquet of carnations to Eden-san, who was craning her neck.

''........What's this?''
"Well, well, Eden has always been a big help to me and... well, it's Mother's Day today, so... a carnation...
....

　Eden-san silently accepts the bouquet of carnations I offered her.
　At the same time, Alice held low as if to increase her vigilance, and I couldn't help but close my eyes as the air felt tense......Now, come on, how do you want to go?　How do you react....

'Thank you, my dear child. My mother is happy to receive such a wonderful gift.
...Yeah?

　A gentle voice that could be described as soft... what?　What's this strange feeling?　I didn't have the usual chilling sensation that sent a chill down my spine.
　When I opened my eyes fearfully, Eden-san was looking at me with a dazzling archaic smile on her face, but.......what?　It's like there's something different...specifically, I can't see the sludge behind my eyes.

'This is a surprise to me, isn't it? But I'm very pleased.
Oh, well, I'm glad you like it.
　I would like to talk to my child a little more, would you like to?
...Ha, yes. I'm fine.

　It's still weird, isn't it?　She doesn't speak in a wound up manner like usual, on the contrary, she confirms our availability....
　In front of my bewildered face, Eden-san moves the wings on her back a little bit and makes tea and cookies 'three at a time' appear on the table.

'Would you like to join us Alice?　My child will be happier with you.

Of course. You are my child's dearest person and a kind girl who has always protected my child, my darling. As a mother, I would like to thank you for all you have done for me. Thank you for everything.
Oh, huh... hey, Kite... "Who is this?

　It's rare that Alice is visibly confused, but I feel exactly the same way. Who is this really?　You're a completely different person than usual!　Huh?　Hey, what's really going on?
　As Alice and I were confused by Eden-san's too much of a transformation, a black vortex appeared in the room and Black appeared from within it.

'Kaito-kun!　Are you okay!　Chartier's magic was wavering, so...
'Oh?　Isn't it Chromeaina?
I just came to... what?
So you're here too. Now let's have another cup of tea.

　Mr. Eden basically hates Black. Or rather, you could say that he sees her as an enemy. He usually doesn't even call me by my name, he calls me 'God's Half' and is always a fighter when he speaks..............

''If you don't mind, would you like to have a cup of tea with me?　If you're too busy working, I'm not saying you have to.
Oh, what?　No, no, I'm not working for the Chamber of Commerce today...
Well, I'm glad to hear that. I know you are a diligent and hardworking person, and I know that you do not have a fragile body that would be destroyed if you pushed yourself too hard. But you do need a reasonable amount of rest. The mind also gets tired.
... um, um ... what?
'Excuse me, I feel like I'm preaching to you. Now let's have tea. You, my dear child's lovers, are like my sweet little children to me, and my mother would like to hear about you.
''Well Kaito-kun ... Chartier ... can I ask you something?　...Who is this?

　Black asks with wide eyes, but unfortunately neither I nor Alice have the answer to that question. Or rather, me and Alice want to ask the same question.
　At the tea table afterwards, Eden-san's demeanor remained the same..............................smiling gently and listening to us instead of speaking for himself.
　And from time to time she would reach out and stroke my head, but she didn't try to be overly skinny anymore... it was really like a mother loving her child.

　The same was true for Alice and Kuro, Eden-san's language was gentle and she spoke as if she cared for the other person, and I even felt like she was full of motherhood and compassion.
　However, Alice, Black and I were so confused by Eden-san's unusual behavior that we were mentally exhausted by the time the tea party was over.

　In the end, Eden-san didn't return to normal that day, and after the tea party was over, she said something that she would never normally say, such as "It would not be good for you to stay too long," and thanked me once more before she left.

　 I thought so, too.
