When the banquet ended, Akira shooed off her parents to the car with an exasperated smile. She was not going back with them since she had agreed to go to the after-party gathering with Kaito. Unfortunately, her parents could not help but worry.
They were afraid that Akira would not be able to deal with the bunch of second-generation people from Mountain Ridge. Everyone knew how wild those parties could get.
"Akira, did we push you too hard? You don't have to force yourself to make friends if you don't want." Sayaka said with concern.
"It's good for me to get to know people around. Plus, I will be with Kaito." She said with a smile.
The name caused her parents to feel even more stifled.
"You should be careful with that man. He is not a good person." Daiki said with both warning and concern.
Akira laughed. "I know. But I like him. So, don't say anything bad about him."
