"What the hell are you all doing here?"
It was only one question in Midori's mind, and she would like to say it out loud.
Before she could do so, Grandpa Takigawa went ahead of her and greeted the Matsumotos with Ame in his arms.
"Welcome, all of you. The ceremony is just about to begin. You are not late at all."
Disbelief was written all across the Takigawa siblings' faces.
It turned out that Grandpa Takigawa was the one who invited the Matsumotos!
"What a beautiful little girl," Old Master Matsumoto claimed. "May I hold her?"
"Of course."
Grandpa Takigawa readily let the patriarch of the Matsumoto family hold Midori's precious daughter.
Midori almost vomited blood then and there. She stepped forward, intent on taking Ame away from the Matsumotos, when Grandpa Kinoshita stepped in her pathway and stopped her with a smile.
"Midori-san, can we talk?"
"Soon, Grandpa Kinoshita. I need to do something urgently."
