Chapter 172: Arrival and Reunion
After buying everything that was necessary, not necessary and something that was useless but might be handy in an emergency, we continued on toward the mountain road leading to the family home of the Asanagis.
It was currently noon, but the road was dim under the shade of the tall trees. They said that it’d get brighter after we passed the tunnel ahead of us, but I was confident that I would get lost if they left me alone here. Though, the signal was pretty strong here, so I could probably find a way out with my phone.
While I was thinking that inside the car that was swaying gently, a question suddenly appeared in my mind.
“By the way, Umi, what kind of person is Mizore-san?”
“Grandma? I don’t really know… I barely visited her, so I don’t know much about her, but I’ve talked to her on the phone a few times and she sounds really nice. When I told her about you, she told me to introduce you to her.”
“I see, that’s great.”
Since I was a complete stranger, I was afraid that she wouldn’t welcome me even with Daichi-san and Sora-san as guarantors. Hearing Umi’s words made me feel a bit relieved.
“Grandma? Kind? …You barely even see her, of course you’ll think of her like that. Besides, she had been wanting a granddaughter for so long, so she’s especially soft on you.”
“Right, Riku-san used to live with her, right? What kind of person is she from your perspective?”
