Hisaki never thought that she would come up with such a question but, what she had seen these past few days coerced her to think of the possibility.
Mr. Hokama came to visit Mrs. Saeki on the second day after Hisaki and Heisuke returned from the capital. He gave her a bag full of herbal tonic drinks.
All of them were so expensive but, neither the three of them realized it at first because the paper bag looked ordinary.
When Mrs. Saeki saw what Mr. Hokama had gifted her, she was so surprised. At that time, the man had left.
"These are good for your health, Aunt Yasumi. Let's accept Mr. Hokama's generosity, en?"
Hisaki persuaded the middle-aged woman when Mrs. Saeki mentioned giving the gifts back to Mr. Hokama. The latter might not be comfortable with the idea of receiving something so pricy from someone she barely knew.
In the end, Mrs. Saeki relented. The shocking yet slightly funny episode ended shortly.
