When Airi got back home, she found her mother and her three friends waiting for her eagerly in the living room. Eagerly because as soon as she entered into the house, all four of them jumped and came to her rushing, without even letting her take off her shoes properly.
"Whaddahell you two are doing here?" Airi arched her eyebrows at Emma and Dew, and in response, they flashed a wide grin at her, while grabbing her arm from both sides.
"Filling in with the story, what else?" they both shouted in unison, almost deafening Airi in process.
"What story? What are ya… And Maa, why are you still awake? Was I too late?" Airi peeked at the wall clock, and sure enough, the clock showed half-past nine at night. She returned long before the promised time, right?
