Chapter 227: Unexpected Happiness

"Hana-san… I…"

Kiba tried his best to look straight at Hana, but in the end, he averted his gaze.

"Don't be so nervous, Kiba-san. Our mom just left due to work. Although, she was the one who helped Mimi dress up, so she is fully aware you're going to pick her up."

Hana then giggled and smiled.

"Well… It's true that I was nervous, and your mom was definitely part of it… But I'm more worried about you, Hana-san—"

"Kiba-kun. I'm just glad to see that my sister is happy. In fact, I think it's the happiest I've seen her."

Hana tilted her head and gently smiled at Kiba.

"Is that so…"

"Yes. So, make sure this dance is a memorable experience for her. And in a good way!"

Hana softly punched Kiba in the chest and grinned at him.

"Of course, I will do my best…!"

Kiba finally smiled back at Hana.

"You better! Or I'll have to punch you for real next time!"

Hana squinted at him and then laughed out loud.

"Thanks, Hana-san…"

Kiba tightened his grip on the bouquet.
