Saturday.
Standing outside a house that was nothing more than ordinary, I pressed the button by the door, causing a buzzing noise to resound from within the walls.
"Ah, welcome!"
Before long, the door opened; a chestnut-haired girl revealed herself from inside, clad in casual clothes.
Ushering me in with a brief greeting, I closed the door behind me as Ella Chiba-Wallace walked through the entrance corridor, her indoor slippers making a smacking sound on the wooden floor with every step.
Approaching the stairs to the upper floor as I took my shoes off by the door, she leaned her head up the staircase and raised her voice.
"Liam! He's here!"
Thud-!
There was a heavy thud on the floor above us as if something had fallen over, and then a smaller voice called out.
"Coming...!"
Ella chuckled and asked me.
"Would you like something to drink? We've got snacks, too."
