リリアとトレイズ I そして二人は旅行に行った ＜上＞ Quotes

“In the middle of the everyday conversation between mother and daughter, Lillia suddenly remembered something.
“Wait! You said you’re going to be doing test flights for twenty days straight!”
“Yeah. Maybe even longer, depending on the weather.”
“Then… does that mean you’re gonna stay there the whole time, Mom?”
Allison nodded.
“It’s not an ordinary base, honey. I can’t tell you the details, but it’s a little far from the Capital District. I can’t commute there every day.”
“Th-then—”
Lillia glared at the boy in the apron drinking tea next to her. Then, she pointed at him.
“Then I have to stay with Treize the whole time? Here, just the two of us?”
“I guess so.” Allison replied nonchalantly. Lillia raised her voice again.
“No way! With this sorry guy?!”
“Now, now, be nice, Lillia. And what’s wrong with Treize? He’s a good cook and an excellent housekeeper. You have no idea how much I appreciate all his help.”
Lillia nodded, sullenly agreeing. But she quickly shot back.
“But still! You want a teenaged guy and a teenaged girl to live in a house together, just the two of them? As a mother, aren’t you worried? What if we have an accident or something?”
Treize quietly sipped his tea.
“Don’t worry, Treize is a gentleman.”
“How can you be so sure?”
“Because I’m good friends with Treize’s father, who is a gentleman.”
Treize quietly sipped his tea.
Lillia shot him a glance, then replied dubiously.
“Still…”
Allison gave a loving smile.
“It’ll be fine as long as you don’t force yourself on Treize.”
“Why would I?!”
“For example, when he’s asleep and defenseless.”
“Are you out of your mind, Mom?! I would not!”
Treize quietly sipped his tea.”

“Take care, Lillia. And have fun.”
“Thanks, Mom. Have fun with your new fighter plane. And also—”
“Yes?”
“Whatever base you’re staying at, please try to get up on your own. Otherwise you’ll give a really hard time to the poor soul who has to wake you up.”
“Ohh… All right, I’ll try. Have a good trip, Lillia.”
Allison smiled, and planted a kiss on Lillia’s cheek. Lillia kissed her mother back.
As Treize watched he suddenly found himself meeting Allison’s gaze.
“Would you like one too, Treize?” Allison asked, reaching toward him. Lillia slapped down her hand.
“Don’t bother, Mom.”
“Hey, that’s not nice.” Treize grumbled.
“Ask your own mom for a kiss.” Lillia snapped back. Then, she added in a softer tone, “As I wish, right?”
Treize nodded, slightly.
“Yeah.”
“Hmm… Lillia, you should be the one giving Treize a kiss after all.”
Lillia reacted instantly.
“Denied!”
“It’s going to be a long trip, you know. Plenty of time for at least one.”
“Denied.”
“There’s no need to be stingy.”
“I said, denied.”
“You keep saying so, but I bet you’re thinking to yourself that once might be all right? A mother knows what her children are thinking.”
“Nope.”
“Just do it when no one’s looking.”
“That’s not the problem here.”
“Just a quick one on the forehead.”
“It’s not about where.”
“It’s not like it’ll hurt.”
“That’s not the problem, either.”
“Or maybe you’re too shy when you’re sober?”
“Mom, I’m a minor.”
“…”
Standing idly by the mother and daughter, Treize waited for their conversation to end.”
