For Our Happier Path

Mr. and Mrs. Nishikawa brought Heisuke and Hisaki to a private room in the restaurant named Grandma's Stove. Tadashi was also there. The little one wore a light blue long-sleeved shirt with yellow duck prints on the fabric.

Heisuke and Hisaki sat next to each other, facing the Nishikawa family.

"Mr. Saeki, Miss Chisaka, we really hope you'll enjoy the feast prepared for you two," Mr. Nishikawa gave a small greeting before calling for the waiters.

Soon, two waiters stepped in with a three-tier food trolley.

The savory and delicious scent wafted in the air, inciting Hisaki and Heisuke's appetite. They waited in anticipation as the waiters began serving the dishes.

Once the waiters left, Mr. Nishikawa invited Heisuke and Hisaki to try the food. The couple said their prayers and started digging in.
