Kiyomi Liuli, entrusted with a task by Naikawa Yoshino, hurried home to report to Nanahara Takeshi, but as she had just returned to Higashitama Town and not ran far, she spotted an extremely familiar figure, and unconsciously exclaimed, "Mom?!"
After her cry of surprise, she even rubbed her eyes, afraid she had mistaken someone else and made a huge blunder. But the person in front turned around—it really was Kiyomi Koko, who, upon seeing her, became visibly excited. Her eyes slightly reddened as she opened her arms wide and called out, "Liuli!"
Kiyomi Liuli's eyes instantly reddened as well, and calling out "Mom," she dashed over and buried herself in Kiyomi Koko's embrace. Kiyomi Koko hugged her tightly, looking utterly content.
The bond between mother and daughter was deep—seeing each other for the first time in a month, their emotions were stirred intensely. It was a moment that could be clipped right out and added to a family drama series.
