And, well, there's a lot going on. You needed a history lesson, right?　But my mom is amazing. She took a hint from my doodles to complete a new theory, she created a new nuclear fusion reactor based on my drawings of a power suit, she even designed a new type of airplane, and she's too versatile in many fields.
　I think it's time to hear people talk about the mother of creation, not the mother of new quantum science. But the most amazing thing about her is that even though she does all these things, she's basically at home.... My dad doesn't stay home because of that, but the other day he said he was going to Africa and left the house. You should try to stay home and learn from your mother. You know what she said the other day?

You don't spend much time at home, do you?

You just laughed at me when I said that.　You'll get a divorce sooner or later. Well, I didn't see you at home today either. She said she had some kind of important meeting or something, but I was sleepy and didn't really listen to her, so I'm sorry, mom. You're bored, though. We've always had a family promise that someone has to be at home because we don't know when dad is coming home.
　To be honest, it's a pain in the ass, but I have to be home whenever my mom is away.... Well, I don't have any friends, so I don't mind. I don't mind. I'm going to cry.


　I finished cleaning the house, so maybe I should weed the garden from time to time. It's a big area, so if we don't do it little by little, it will grow quickly. Once, I saw on the internet that there was some kind of easy-to-make herbicide that you could make at home, and when I tried it, not only did all the weeds die, but all the weeds in the garden died, and I had to pull them out by hand. Mom called Dad and a contractor had to replace the soil in the garden. Wasn't that the first time your father got mad at you?

'I know what you're capable of, so don't do this kind of thing in a residential area!

Or so he said. 　That goldmasher, when he comes home when mom's not around, I'll feed him a meal of laxatives with a vengeance.
　Now, I have a big yard. And it is huge. It's as big as you'd like to imagine the garden of an old samurai residence. The house is big, too, of course, because my mother makes a lot of money. She has more than 200 patents and has been getting so much demand from various research institutes that they are begging her to let them write her name on the list. I don't blame them for that. By the way, my father's income is not very good, according to my mom

'Your father doesn't make any money, but he does work for the United Nations to help people.

Apparently.......... My son was even touched by that kindness already!　It's really a waste of that macho and my mom. Anyway, it's a macho thing, and even though it's called the United Nations, it's still a subcontractor who's transporting packages for a subcontractor, right?　He said he was going to Africa, and that would be useful for the meat wall of a VIP employee.
　Oh, I digress, I think I'll just go weed the garden. Yeah!　Let's try out the work power suit I made with my mom the other day, these days these work power suits are being used in homes. Of course, this is your mother's all-purpose suit. It's a great thing to be able to cook and do all sorts of small tasks while wearing it, and I'm sure Mom made it as a prototype so that anyone can eventually be able to move the power suit. Hmmm, the fit is perfect!　Well, weeds, are you ready?

'Beep!　Beep!

　As I was pleasantly weeding, I received a transmission from my personal terminal. Oh, it's from my mom....

Hey, Kou-chan. What are you doing now?

　For some reason, he asked me that in a slightly troubled voice. I honestly replied that I was weeding the garden.

'Uh ... yeah. You can stay inside and watch TV instead of weeding. There's supposed to be a nature documentary on today that you like to watch, Kou-chan.

　Seriously?　The nature of this world is different from the world I was in, where extinct animals still live. I love these animals, and perhaps it's because of the difference in environment that there are creatures I've never seen before. I loved the documentaries that featured such creatures, and since I was a child I often watched them. That's the kindest thing I've ever seen, and I'm proud of her!　After I thanked him, I turned off the transmission and was about to enter the house when my eyes fell upon a corner of the garden.
　There's a rare bird.... The moment I tried to get closer to observe it, it flew away. I shrugged my head and went into the house.







----Lewis Coleman Viewpoint ----.

　Was it about four years ago that I was assigned to escort and monitor the captain's son, or rather we were assigned to escort and monitor the captain's son?　The notch was an incident caused by his son. He sprayed his garden with a poisonous mixture of defoliants simply because he didn't like the weeds in his garden. Moreover, he had made it by using an over-the-counter chemical that could be bought at a home improvement store.
　When Mrs. Yamanouchi saw this, she immediately sent a message to the captain. The captain had a team with anti-chemical weapons equipment ready to go as soon as possible. We laughed at the idea that we could find a better excuse for the exercise. When we went to the site in a truck disguised as a private contractor, hell was in front of us. And yet, his son looked as if he had been caught in a mischief. Can you understand that?　This young child had created a weapon that could have destroyed a city if he wanted to and used it.
　The case was presented by the captain to the upper echelons of the United Nations and was probably brushed aside by a highly political decision. But we had been given the task of guarding your son and monitoring him to make sure that this would never happen again.


　Such a son is now in the garden. It seems that he's going to be weeding, after the incident, the captain told him to do simple physical labor without using any chemicals, and that's what he's doing today.






I thought so......... I wanted to think..........


　Your son came out of the warehouse with a power suit attached. If it's just a power suit, it's fine, if it's a power suit for work, it's widely used in ordinary homes. But that thing....










A 6th generation military suit....




　I was unconsciously dizzy. A weapon that can destroy a mainstream tank by simply hitting it from the front, a survivability that protects its occupants even if it is hit by a missile, and a weapon that can fight a single combat division on its own. It's not something you'd use to weed out your garden. Why do we have those things in our homes in the first place?　No, this house may not be an ordinary household, but that thing is the kind of thing you would keep in a laboratory. I sent a communication to the captain........ I can't handle this anymore.

'Captain it's me.

　He calls out to the captain in a voice that is no longer strong. There is noise for a while, but eventually you hear the captain's voice.

'Oh?　What's going on?

　 It's not like you're going to be in the field.

Your son is weeding the garden, sir. In a power suit.

　The captain laughed and said, "What does it matter?　He replied that he was not a good father. After that, he starts bragging about his son, but he won't be able to remain a nice-looking idiot father after hearing this....


"Your son is wearing a military suit, a 6th generation prototype suit, to be precise.

　The captain stopped laughing in an instant and cut off the communication, saying he would send it to his wife. Finally, he instructed me that if your son was going to be in town, he was to stretch himself and stop him. What on earth do you want me to do?　How can I do it in the flesh against a man who could lightly destroy a tank?　As I was desperately trying to figure out how to do this, your son deactivated his suit. Apparently, his wife had sent word to your son. As it was, he was about to enter the house furtively and stopped. And then.....




He stared at us.




　I felt my heart stop beating in fear. He may normally play the good boy who listens to his mother, but no doubt his son is the kind of person who would use a weapon in his own garden without confusion. How would you answer if such a person could stop you from doing what you do?　Am I going to be killed........
　No, but my current appearance is using optical camouflage so that it is not visible to the naked eye. There's no way they could have found out.......there's no way they could have known that I had contacted the captain in the first place.
　But are you sure you can do this?　Isn't that military suit equipped with a function to intercept communications? No, no way.... My mind was racing with thoughts of what would be best. Then your son stepped in!


They will kill you.....


　I gave up on the idea. But nothing happened. I slowly opened my eyes and saw his son, and I shrugged my head and was about to enter the house. I had survived, not even on the battlefield, and the thought was swirling around in my chest. Perhaps his son wanted to scare me just a little. But I was cruelly frightened. He must have gone through so many trials and tribulations as a member of the UN Special Forces.... His son must have thought that this is the extent of his career.
　But that doesn't matter, for now, he looked at the clear sky, enjoying the feeling of being alive and angry.
