For Our Happier Path

Aside from her meeting with Okawa Hitomi, nothing eventful happened to Hisaki. She finished her New Year holiday in a better mood than the previous one.

No one from the Chisaka branch families coming to stir trouble with her again like how Mika did last year.

Hisaki returned to Kaagawa City on January 3rd, one day before work resumed. Her parents and younger brother sent her off to the train station as early as six o'clock. Her train was at seven.

"Take care of yourself. Please give the souvenirs to your ma. We'll meet her during her wedding soon."

Mrs. Chisaka prepared a bountiful of dry food for Mrs. Saeki. All of them were the specialties of this northern region. Hisaki just let her mother be happy. After all, the two mothers were so close to each other.

"Ma said she has booked your room at the inn," Hisaki recalled what Mrs. Saeki told her before, "From January 28th until the 30th, is that fine with you?"
