"Shuu, I am back! Did you miss me?"
Rika held her arms before her, and the pup jumped them as soon as he noticed Rika's presence.
She was finally back home. (could she call the dorm her home when she was not there for about 50% of the time she lived there)
"Welcome back, Rika! Did you have fun spending the last few days with your family? Your mother called when her secretary dropped off Shuu."
Rika breathed easier when she heard the landlady say these words to her. It seemed her mother had taken care of the situation for her.
She did not want to owe her mother anything if she could help it, but this was a big help to her.
"Hey! This is enough, Shuu! Can you get up so that I can go to my room!"
Rika complained as Shuu buried her under his body weight. Shuu seemed to have no intention of letting Rika out from under his body anytime soon.
It made Rika sigh in regret, but she was not about to give up.
