Much to Himari's relief, no incident or drama happened until the end of the celebration, not that she was aware of.
At twelve, the cruise ship returned to the shore, allowing the passengers to disembark. Even though it was already midnight, the liveliness of the celebration had yet to dissipate.
Himari, Kazuya and the two sleepy children were brought back to the hotel by the same chauffeur. Tomorrow, all four of them would meet Nanako, Ryota, Yuki and the two children at the jetty.
"We have to make full use of our time here!"
Those were Ryota's fiery exclamation when Himari and Kazuya felt bad for continuing to barge into their private time.
At the hotel, the sleepy Izumi simply changed his clothes, washed his face and brushed his teeth before he lay motionless on the bed. Kazuya helped Chiharu to change out of her dress as he shooed Himari to the bathroom.
