Upon arriving at their street, the first thing I noticed was the police car parked at an appropriate distance from their house. It was on the lookout in case someone would attempt to abduct Auntie Yayoi again.
I silently gave a nod of approval as we continued on our steps. I saw a policeman at the wheels and when he noticed us passing by, he nodded. He’s someone I saw at the police station yesterday so we got an easy clear. Besides, a boy and a girl wouldn’t even look that suspicious, normally.
When I pointed that out to Mina, she heaved a sigh of relief as her walking pace increased, almost running towards her house. That worry that I calmed down when we’re at the bus burst out once more.
She had to see Auntie Yayoi safe and sound before she could rest her mind.
