Lith and Dennis were creating a ruckus in the dark church. But they weren’t too loud and knew their limits and thus neither Emilia nor the priest stopped them from being near the symbol and saying those things.
The priest was present in the church from the start when the four entered and since the church was visited by people daily, he didn’t bother them and these four didn’t bother the priest either.
The priest did hear the conversation of the three but some of the things he didn’t understand and what he did make out was that three young teens were just pulling pranks and teasing each other. It felt normal for teens of their age to do such things and as long as they didn’t cross any boundaries, he was fine with them doing whatever they wanted.
“Oi, oi, what are you two doing! Stop it!” Ralph ran towards them and pulled their collars and tried to take them away from the cross.
“Aunt, Ralph cries every night because he misses you. He is very sad. Please come to see him!” Dennis said a bit loudly despite Ralph pulling him away.
Ralph hurried what he was doing and fully brought the three to a distance and close to Emilia.
“Teacher, make them stop.” Ralph said with his brows knit.
Right at this moment, space fluctuated a few meters away from the four, a pink-haired woman with eyes of a darker shade of pink appeared out of thin air. She wore a magenta colored gown that had a heart shaped low neckline which revealed the cleavage between her big breasts.
The low neckline of the gown also made the upper region of her breasts visible. Though that was the case, those were the only revealing parts and the rest of her body was covered in the pleated silk gown. It was her formal wear.
“Ralph chaaann!~” The woman said in a melodious voice and ran towards Ralph.
“M-mother!?” Ralph let go of the two’s collar and yelled in surprise.
The woman, aka Ralph’s mother, was fast and before Ralph could get a chance to run away, she hugged him from behind and spun in circles while lifting him slightly in the air.
“Yaaa~ Ralph chan!~ Mama missed you!” Ralph’s mother said happily while spinning in circles along with him.
Lith, Dennis, and Emilia smiled as they watched this scene unfold. They didn’t interrupt this mother-son moment and let them be. The priest at the sidelines also didn’t say anything since they weren’t disrupting the peace in the church.
Lith and Dennis were not just smiling but also giggling. These two were close to Ralph and they had only seen his cold, reserved and calm demeanor. They had hardly seen him let out any other emotions. He seemed more like an emotionless golem everyday.
This was the reason they couldn’t stop giggling as they saw his embarrassed face. His face was as red as a tomato right now and he was trying his best to not show his embarrassed reaction to Lith and Dennis.
“Mother, this is embarrassing, please stop!” Ralph protested to his mother.
“Haha! No, mama won’t listen to you! It’s been so many days since we last saw each other.” Ralph’s mother said while spinning in circles.
“M-mother, I’ll get sick if you keep spinning!” Ralph made an excuse, hoping she would stop.
Hearing that, she indeed stopped. She was his mother, not a monster. She obviously cared about his health and when told that there was a chance he may get sick, she stopped.
She placed him down but didn’t let go of the hug. She rubbed her face on his and said, “I am reunited with you after so long! I am so happy!”
Ralph just had his eyes closed and lay still like a statue. He had no idea what to do and only hoped that she would stop soon. He didn’t hate his mother acting like that with him, it was just that they were in public and she was an overlord of a race, she should know etiquettes better and not do such things. Those were his thoughts.
Those weren’t actually the real reason though. They were just excuses he made to cover up the actual thing. He didn’t want to be seen like this in front of Lith and Dennis as the two would keep bringing this up and would make fun of him later. He didn’t want the two to see him in such a state. Those were his real thoughts but he covered them up with excuses and was in a bit of denial.
The two weren’t bad people, he knew about it. Them making fun of him wasn’t in a bully or bad sort of way. It was more of them teasing him. That’s just how friends were. They never leave any moment to pull each other’s leg and roast the other person or throw insults or curses. He had gotten close to the two and they could be said to be bestfriends by this point. He didn’t want these idiots to have the chance to tease him. That was it.
Lith and Dennis stopped giggling after they saw Ralph’s embarrassed face to have gone. They quietly went towards Emilia and sat beside her and let the two people have their reunion peacefully.
After a few minutes of hugging Ralph, his mother let go of him and turned him to face her. She held his face with her hands and asked with concern visible on her face,
“Ralph-chan, did you really get a girl pregnant and do drugs?”
Hearing this, Lith and Dennis both froze on the spot. They messed up!
