Dinner time had already arrived, but Lady Kanade still hadn't returned from school. She was probably hanging out with her friends. Yamada Naoto had been worried she might struggle to make friends, but it seemed he had nothing to worry about. Although it was nice that Lady Kanade seemed to be learning how to socialize, shouldn't she have been home by now? It was already late.
As soon as Yamada Naoto expressed his concern, he quickly got ready to head out and pick up Tachima Kanade from school. Just as he was about to leave, the door suddenly opened, and to his surprise, Tachima Kanade herself was the one who opened the door.
"Lady Kanade, I'm so relieved you're home. I was really worried about you."
Yamada Naoto said, as if a weight had been lifted off his chest.
"Sigh, you're just worrying too much,"
Tachima Kanade said as she walked towards their house.
Yamada Naoto noticed something about her.
"Lady Kanade, are you okay? You seem like you just defeated a hundred slime monsters and got tired because of it."
"Gahh! What's with that comparison? I'm okay, I'm just a little tired."
Tachima Kanade said, shrugging off Yamada Naoto's concern.
Then she proceeded to go to her bedroom and lie on her bed without taking off her uniform.Yamada Naoto thought.
"I wonder what happened to Lady Kanade. She seems so tired, but it seems she doesn't want to talk about it."
As Yamada Naoto thought about that, he began to prepare dinner.
On the other side, Tachima Kanade began to think about the event that had happened a minute ago at the front gate of their school.
"Sigh, how tiring. And that Edogawa something girl, to think she's the culprit behind that blood lettering. Well, she's really fitted for it since she's weird."
Tachima Kanade thought.
"I can't let myself get involved with that girl. If anything happens again, my life would surely be in danger, and also that dork Yama-"
Just as Tachima Kanade was about to finish her thought, Yamada Naoto barged in."Lady Kanade, dinner is already ready."
For some reason, Tachima Kanade got shocked.
"WAAA!!! What the- YAMADAA!!!"
"Oh, sorry about that, Lady Kanade. Looks like I surprised you, haha," Yamada Naoto said.
"You dork, what are you giggling about!!!" Tachima Kanade exclaimed.
After she said that, she tossed a pillow at Yamada Naoto's face.
A night has passed and morning came.
Tachima Kanade just woke up from her blissful sleep, sitting up from her bed and rubbing her eyes with messy hair. Yamada Naoto noticed she was awake and called her to eat breakfast.
"Lady Kanade, are you awake?! Breakfast is ready if you're ready to have your breakfast, just come downstairs."
He said that while preparing breakfast. Meanwhile, Tachima Kanade, who was still half asleep, didn't hear him.
After a few minutes, Yamada Naoto decided to go to Tachima Kanade's room since she didn't respond to his call. But by the time he was about to go to Tachima Kanade's room, Yamada Naoto heard a knock at their door.
*Knock knock*
"Oh, a guest? I wonder who it is?"
*Knock knock*
"Coming!" Yamada Naoto replied.
As he opened the door, a familiar face appeared before him.
"Ohh."
"Umm, it's been a while, Mr. Yamada."
"Ohh, you're Miss Tsubaki, right?"
"Yes..."
