Chapter 94: CHAPTER 93 - Radiant Guardian (1)

As Ichiro settled into his room at the Takamura residence, the mysterious scent lingered in the air, piquing his curiosity. The room was adorned with traditional Japanese decor, and the soft glow of paper lanterns created a serene ambiance.

Hikari guided Ichiro to his room with a polite smile. She hesitated for a moment when he inquired about the unfamiliar scent. "They are a mixture of herbs," she explained vaguely, her eyes avoiding direct contact. "I'm sorry if I can't tell you the exact details."

Ichiro, amused by the air of mystery surrounding the scent, decided not to press further. The Takamuras were known for their traditional values and a deep connection to nature, so he assumed the herbs were a closely guarded family secret.

"They've also prepared your bath already," Hikari added, changing the subject. "And I'm guessing the things in my bath are a secret as well," Ichiro remarked sarcastically, a playful glint in his eyes.
