"Again?" Xu Yang asked.
"Forget it... forget it!"
Xu Yang still had energy left, but Kanako was completely worn out. She lethargically looked around, blinking incessantly.
"This is mom's tea room," Kanako exclaimed, "I never thought I'd be here, feels like I'm insulting her, so strange!"
"Don't you like it?" Xu Yang stroked Kanako's hair.
"Ouch." Kanako rolled on the tatami mats where Honma Noriko had sat, "If mom knew what we were doing here, she'd definitely be furious."
"This isn't any sacred place. Speaking of which, it actually has quite a gloomy atmosphere; she's been staying here since she got old."
"Then the heat we've created should dispel her shadows," Kanako said with a smile.
Kanako jumped off the tatami mats and walked barefoot on the wooden floor.
Looking back at the place where she had been, where they had sweated from hard work, she gave Xu Yang a victorious gesture.
