บท 1540: Clashing against giants

For the first ten or so minutes, Mom sat down with Haruko in the living room, conversing with her about me or things they already talked about through messages.

While part of my attention split to monitor Minoru who started playing with his colorful building blocks, I listened to them at the side.

Well, they’re not being secretive about their topic and it’s not really that serious. It’s what you would expect from a mother-in-law to her daughter-in-law.

At least, my mother isn’t acting like those terrible mothers-in-law often portrayed in live-action drama series or movies. She’s even too excited that you could see it from the way she talked and moved whereas Haruko took a while before getting a firm grip of the situation.

In any case, after the first five minutes, Haruko became relaxed as though she’s already been my mother's friend for years.
