As the paints on the T-shirts needed to be properly dried, after having tea and snacks, it was time for Shouko to storytelling to the children. Director Shinohara and a few carers led them to a spacious room.
A wide and fluffy carpet was laid in the center of the room. Most of the little buns sat on the carpet. A few of them sat on low stools behind their friends who sat cross-legged on the floor. Every one of them looked so eager in anticipation.
Director Shinohara and Ms. Sasaki joined them as well. They chose to sit on the left side of the room. Their attention was focused on Shouko and the children.
"Auntie, what story would you tell us?" A boy with a dimple on his right cheek asked once Shouko sat on the single couch opposite them.
"It is about Kaguya-hime?" A girl chimed in excitement, "I have always loved the story!"
"Ah, I don't like it! The story is so sad," Another girl puckered up her lips, pouting while looking at her friend.
