A Call From Nakagawa Aokiji

Kimura Kazuki sat at the dining table, watching the four sisters chatter with each other without a care in the world. He could not help but smile at the amicable atmosphere.

Back when he was still their private tutor, everyone was well-behaved and obedient when they were having their meals together here, which gave out an inexplicable sense of estrangement.

Now that he had quit, this sense of estrangement had vanished.

He then pulled out his phone and sent a message to Chiba Shiori.

Kimura: The novel is interesting, I can't wait to know what's next.

Chiba: Then I'll post an update soon (*•̀ㅂ•́)و

Kimura: Sure.

Chiba: Also…I need to talk to you about something.

Kimura: Go ahead.

Judging from the way Chiba Shiori left out the emoticons in this reply, Kimura Kazuki knew it must be something that she cares about a lot.
