For Our Happier Path

This life's Heisuke was not one to openly professed his feelings with those enchanting words. Whenever he did, Hisaki's heart got suspended for a moment before it suddenly pound fast against her chest.

Hisaki carried the beautiful moment to sleep, unaware of how Takuya was looking at her weirdly. He was really convinced that love could bring a person's silliness out.

Of course, he wouldn't ever dare to say that out loud in front of his sister.

The next morning, the family of four went out again after breakfast.

Hisaki brought her parents and brother to Shuuya's pottery kiln at the foot of the hill. They were welcomed warmly by the attending staff before Shuuya and Aino themselves came out to greet Hisaki's family.

"I'm Heisuke's friend since he and his mom moved into this town. I assure you that my friend is a really good man. Your daughter would be treated like a princess by him."
