Do You Love Your Mom and Her Two-Hit Multi-Target Attacks?

Mom's strong, so there’s no way she could lose!

But, if something happens...

Mom!

You see, Miss?

You'll get all kinds of visitors if you have this crystal ball!

Your guild is sure to be a big success!

And we have a special sale that ends today!

You're sure lucky!

Oh my! What should I do?

She's about to "lose" to a door-to-door salesman?

This crystal ball is truly amazing!

Every member of your guild will get two-hit multi-target attacks!

And your son will be very happy!

Ma-kun will?

Alright! I'll pay any price for it!

See! See! He's almost convinced her!

That's right! If he brings up Masato's name, it's an easy win against her!

Give me a break... Sheesh. Hey, you!

We don't talk to salesmen.

Same to you, Mom.

Don't let a shady guy like this fool you. That's obvious junk.

Huh? O-Oh, it is?

M-M-M-Masato! Th-That’s a...

What's wrong, Porta?

That's a bomb!

#10 The With Mommy Guild Welcomes All! ...Wait, It's a Bunch of Uninvited Guests!

What do you mean a bomb?

I appraised it!

That crystal ball is a powerful bomb that could blow up the entire guild!

Hey, Masato! Do something!

Why don't you grab it and jump into the sea?

Okay, leave it to me!

Wait, that would kill me, right?

It's going to blow up any second!

E-Everybody run!

There we go.

Don't cry.

Mommy's right here. Everything's fine.

It's okay. Be a good child.

Hey, Mom, what are you doing?

Can't you see? I'm giving it headpats.

The bomb is crying "Wah! Wah!" like a baby, right?

So maybe if I give it headpats, it will calm down.

No, no! You can't calm down a bomb, like... that?

Seriously?

It stopped.

That was another special mom skill, "Mother's Headpat!"

Whenever something or somebody is about to explode, she can calm it down!

Ma-kun used to cry all the time,

but when I held you like this and patted your head, you always calmed down.

Remember those days?

I'm not sure if I like being compared to a bomb...

To a mom, a bomb isn't much different than a baby.

Both can blow up and cause chaos at any moment!

When you think of it like that, bombs are cute, aren't they?

No they're not...

Ma-kun, you were so cool back there!

You appeared out of nowhere to save your mom from the mean salesman!

You're my hero!

I get to be a hero just from driving off a salesman, huh?

Not a hard job to get, is it?

So can we assume that salesman was the assassin Amante sent?

It seems lika a safe assumption.

Wait, so that was Amante's doing?

Fill me in!

Hey, you there.

What are you doing?

I didn't expect her to show up in person.

Why did you come here?

The reason doesn't matter, does it?

I came because I kept waiting for the explosion and never heard it,

but I don't have to tell you that, do I?

So she's an idiot who can't keep her mouth shut? How helpful.

You there, maid! Don't call me an idiot!

I'm not a helpful idiot—

I have a question.

Was the "assassin" you spoke of that salesman?

That's absolutely right.

But I don't have to tell you that.

It was mean to send us a bomb! I won't forgive you for that!

What are you talking about so suddenly?

Listen. We're enemies.

What's wrong with sending you a bomb I found in the tower but couldn't do anything useful with?

Now she's explaining things we didn't even ask.

Um, Ms. Amante, may I have a word?

I told you, I'm not telling you anything—

Mamako Oosuki!

Stay away! Don't talk to me!

Please, listen to me.

You have all the adventurer children with you, right?

Their mothers are all worried. Could you tell them to go home—

Shut up! I refuse to even talk with you!

Hey!

You show up out of nowhere and you're already running away?

Why did you even come here?

Like hell I'd ever answer that question!

I was going to tell you that my next assassin is already on his way,

but I won't tell you that either!

Does that mean...

Oh my. It's a mess!

Miss...

How did you like your crystal ball bomb?

Are you...

I screwed up earlier, but it makes a nice boom when it goes off, right?

I planted bombs ten times as powerful all across the city.

No way!

Hey, you can't do that! You'll blow up the city!

I've got the detonator right here.

If you don't want to see the town go up in flames, you'll do what I say!

Oh, and just so we're clear, only being served by maids will satisfy us.

Of course, Mamako will need to be a maid, too.

Very well. What do I have to do?

Food, first.

A maid mom, huh?

Let's laugh at her for the way she's dressed.

Sorry it took so long.

I've never worn a maid outfit before.

Did I put it on right?

Oh, boy. It looks great on her!

- You look amazing! - Like an angel!

Oh my. Thank you...

Um, can you put a spell on the food to make it taste better?

Oh, I'm not a magic-user, so I don't know if I can!

- You can! - Sure you can!

Go for it!

Mommy will make you dinner with lots of love, okay?

Here.

It's Mommy's special fried rice!

Enjoy!

Let's eat!

Hey now, you were lazy and just tossed stuff into a frying pan?

That's the problem with mothers...

Th-This is... Fried rice with ham!

Yes, that's right. I'm sure you'd prefer fried pork, but I couldn't find any so I used ham instead.

You know...

My mom used to make this all the time.

She said fried rice with ham was a classic family meal.

My mom would put little hot dogs in.

Mine used canned tuna.

Oh no... Somehow...

I really want to eat my mom's fried rice!

Ms. Mama's fried rice is delicious!

Ham really is the best!

I always used to have it with crab, but ham is good, too!

These guys are easy.

Hey now!

It'll take more than food to satisfy us.

We're all fed and ready now.

Take us to the bedroom.

Okay, Mamako.

Time for you to give me lots of service in bed.

Service in bed?

You're kidding me!

So now that your appetite's fed, that's what you want next?

You beasts!

We'll have to use force...

Hey, now. Don't forget that we've got bombs all over the city.

If anything happens to me, they'll go boom.

Mom...

It's okay, Ma-kun.

The townspeople's lives are in danger.

That's enough of the drama talk between mother and son.

Ready, Mamako?

You don't need me to tell you what to do, right?

Yes, I understand.

Be a good boy and go to sleep.

Go to sleep! Go to sleep!

Hey, what are you doing?

What, you ask? It’s Mommy’s in-bed service!

N-No, I meant something a little more, uh...

Go to sleep.

Go to sleep.

Go to sleep.

You know, when I was a kid...
