Himari asked for a three-day leave from school, citing the issue of her mother's condition as the reason. Fortunately, the school granted her four days of leave, starting from tomorrow Monday, saying she could extend the duration if the situation called for it.
"The headteacher has arranged the schedule of your classes for us. Don't worry about anything. We'll cover your post first."
Teacher Ayase updated Himari over the situation at school the Sunday afternoon. The fellow English teacher was concerned about Himari's mother's condition thus she made a phone call.
"Thank you, really, Teacher Ayase," Himari smiled in gratitude, "My mom should be fine in a few days. I'll directly call the headteacher if there's anything else."
Himari's hand was fiddling with a throw cushion while she sat in the living room. She had just sat down after finished sending lunch to Granny Saichi. Her mother was in the bedroom, having a short nap.
