Kagura Hikaru had to take a deep breath before he could walk through the door in front of him.
Even though he knew whom he would meet on the other side, he couldn't help feeling anxious.
Because today, he wasn't visiting as a friend or a classmate of the daughter.
Instead, he was there as the 'tagalong' son of his mother, Xiaosong Lisha, meeting her fiancé and his daughter for the first time.
It was completely different from the last time he had stepped into the Kiryu residence, both in how he felt and in the objective fact of his changed status.
He was grateful that he had made a good impression on Kiryu Hina's father back then; otherwise, when his mother married him, he might have become an actual burden.
But probably the most embarrassed of all must be Kiryu Hina.
His mother, Xiaosong Lisha, was already engaged to her father, and the wedding was basically visible on the schedule. Soon, Kiryu Hina would become his sister in name.
