"Everyone, lunch is ready!" Asuka called out cheerfully as she set the last dish on the dining table in the Hayase family home.
It was the weekend, and the Hayase siblings were at home, enjoying a rare moment of peace.
Both Haruto and Haruka made their way to the dining room, their eyes widening at the variety of dishes spread across the table.
"Hm… western food today?"
Haruto asked, taking in the sight of a golden rotisserie chicken, asparagus, mashed potatoes, spaghetti, and an assortment of other delicacies.
"Yup! Eating Japanese food every day gets boring," Asuka replied with a grin as she scooped mashed potatoes onto the siblings' plates.
All the dishes had been prepared by Asuka while Chiyo would prepare dinner.
Since learning about the tragic death of Asuka's son, Chiyo had been nothing but kind to her.
