"That's really a pity..."
Reiko Onodera sighed softly, the madam didn't seem to realize that Ishihara Yoshiko's situation was actually not any better than her own had been, perhaps even worse.
She could even understand the other's mood very well.
Constrained, anxious, afraid that causing trouble for Hoshina because of herself, she finally chose to leave with her young daughter.
She was luckier, fortunate to have met Haruka… Whenever she couldn't sleep at night, she would always remember the scene from that afternoon.
The dim sunlight, the cup of tea with two goji berries, and Haruka Yuzan sitting opposite her, explaining the tenant hand signals with utter seriousness...
The luckiest day of all.
...
"Wahahaha!"
Seeing the girl beside her who was almost burying her head in her chest, Misaki Saki couldn't help but let out a triumphant and proud laugh.
Finally, she finally had the chance to be alone with little Risa.
