"Welcome home." The stepmother came up and took the grocery basket from Kagura Hikaru, while thankfully saying, "It suddenly started raining outside, but fortunately Mister Hikaru, you brought an umbrella."
"Yep."
Kagura Hikaru, after having shaken the umbrella dry outside, placed it into the corner stand and walked towards the interior of the house.
Komori Ai followed step by step behind him, covering her mouth with her sleeve and looking around.
They had returned to Tokyo from their old home in Wakayama Prefecture.
The Kagura family hadn't been home for over a month, and the house was covered in dust. The stepmother eagerly began cleaning, while Kagura Hikaru was tasked by his father to do the grocery shopping, only to be caught in a sudden downpour halfway through.
