After finishing their ice cream, Mika and Seiji walked back to the apartment building, carrying the groceries together.
An enigmatic light flashed through Mika’s eyes. "Seiji, come over and eat dinner at our place tonight."
"Eh? Why so suddenly…"
"I’m telling you to come, so come!"
"But the landlord…"
"My mom will agree… I’ll call her right now!" Mika decisively took out her cell phone.
Nozomi Uehara answered her call.
After the call had ended, Nozomi smiled faintly.
‘Nice job, this is how you have to be, Mika! With an opponent’s appearance, my daughter has become more decisive.’ The landlord approved of her daughter’s slight growth in maturity.
"My mom agreed, but you need to help out with the cooking as well. You don’t need to return to your room; just come over to my place!" Mika was rather spirited as she talked to Seiji after hanging up the call.
"Oh… oh." Seiji reflexively agreed.
