Chapter 258: Family Gathering

"How did you know that we are going out?!"

Mimi blushed as she was taken aback.

"I'm your mother, remember? You've been spacing out the past few days and then I see Hana's clothes in your room. And now, he even walks you home. Simple deduction, my dear."

Mimi's mother winked at her daughter.

"Ah… um, I'm sorry for bringing your daughter home a bit late… By the way, my name is Ketsueki Kiba!"

Kiba then bowed toward the young-looking mother.

"And he is polite and with manners… I'm sorry if I doubted your tastes, dear. I'm Furui Kao, Mimi's mother."

She nodded at herself and then smiled at Kiba.

"I still can't believe you're her mother, though…"

Kiba scratched his cheek as he forced a smile toward Kao.

"Well… you can stop it now, you! You're already invited to dinner! Come inside, both of you."

Kao then walked toward inside the apartment.

"He's invited to dinner…? But I haven't cooked anything yet."

Mimi followed her mother inside.

"S-should I go inside…?"
