"As I said, I'll take good care of her," Seiji promised. "Leave her to me, Hirai-san."
The three of them left the hospital after saying goodbye to Hirai and took a taxi back to the Uehara apartment complex.
Seiji brought Reo inside. "This is our home. Unfortunately it's not as spacious as your uncle's residence."
The little girl didn't seem to be dissatisfied with the apartment. She merely looked around curiously.
"We can clean up the study a little bit and it can become your room. Or," Seiji added as an afterthought, "you can live together with me in my room; it's pretty big,"
Reo's eyes flashed with a strange light when she heard this.
Seiji then showed her the study.
"There's not much furniture here, and I need to go buy another bed... or perhaps we could move the one in your uncle's residence here."
"What about Brother Harano's room?" the little girl asked after seeing the study.
