Chapter 198: On the Way Home
After saying our goodbyes to Shizuku-san and Reiji-kun, we went to Mizore-san’s house to pick up Sora-san. She was waiting while sipping some tea in the living room with a bored expression on her face. Shizuku-san and Riku-san’s conversation went on longer than expected, so she had been waiting for quite a while.
“Did you say your goodbyes to Shizuku-chan, Riku?”
“Yeah… Also, I have something to talk about with you, mom. I’ll tell you when we get home.”
“Alright. It’s been a while since the last time we had a serious talk, isn’t it? Your father should join in too.”
Umi already explained the gist of it to Sora-san when she called her earlier. She didn't seem surprised by the development.
Well, she was his mother, after all. She had been taking care of him ever since he was a kid. She definitely knew what was going on between those two. By extension, Mizore-san likely knew as well.
“…What are you doing, grandma? You’ve been going up and down the stairs ever since I entered the house.”
“What? I’m cleaning the house, can’t you see? The next time you guys come here, everything will be clean and you can stay here without much trouble.”
Or so she said. She most likely did it for Riku-san, since it was pretty much decided that he would be returning soon.
