"Please come in."
"Sorry to disturb you..."
With a strange expression, Kagura Hikaru and an even more oddly nervous Ayakoji Chiyoko than the first time, stepped into the Kagura Family's entryway.
"Mister Hikaru, you're back... Oh?"
The stepmother, who had been watching television in the living room, got up to greet them, but upon seeing the unexpected guest, Ayakoji Chiyoko, she glanced at Kagura Hikaru, covered her mouth with a pretense of secrecy, and chuckled as she looked at the girl, "Well, if it isn't Miss Ayakoji from last time, welcome, welcome! Are you here to see Mister Hikaru again today?"
"Yes, sorry for the disturbance, Aunt," said Ayakoji Chiyoko with a blush and a nod.
"Not at all, not at all."
The stepmother smiled like a farmer delighting in the growth of their cabbages, "It's hot outside, isn't it? There's air conditioning in the upstairs room; go rest in Mister Hikaru's room first, and I'll prepare some drinks for you."
"Thank you, Aunt."
