"Gon! You're home late again!"
With the tone of admonishing, a young woman in her twenties said to a little boy.
The young woman's hands held her hips, and her body leaned forward slightly.
"I'm sorry Mito-san ..."
Gon said while looking down when he knew he was wrong. Because lake monsters are tough to catch, this tends to make him come in late.
"Enough Mito, let him do what he wants to do. After all, he had also grown up."
In a slow and compassionate tone, an older woman was seen standing right behind the door. She said to her granddaughter, who admonishes Gon.
"But Grandma ..."
Quietly the young woman named Mito said as she turned her body towards her grandmother.
"Mito... It's better for you to welcoming guests brought by Gon. He looks exhausted."
The older woman said with a small smile.
"!?"
Mito, who heard her grandmother's words immediately surprised, turned to see who the guest was. Sure enough, there was a guest!
Because she was too focused on Gon, Mito did not pay much attention to her around. Therefore she did not realize if guests were visiting her house.
"I'm sorry. You must have heard my conversation with Gon earlier. Once again, I'm sorry."
She was bending with 90 degrees. Mito apologized to a man who stood not far from her. She felt uncomfortable because others heard the conversation; this also made her feel a little embarrassed.
"Raise your head, young lady, no need to apologize to me. It's purely my fault for not introducing myself earlier. "
Zen saw the young woman who bowed to him immediately felt a little surprised. He told the woman to raise her head because it was not necessary quickly. The one who should apologize is himself.
Therefore, after the young woman straightened her back and raised her head, Zen began to mimic the apologetic position the woman had done.

"Mito-san, let me introduce first, this man named Zen-san. I met him when I wanted to come back from the forest earlier!"
With a cheerful tone, Gon said to his aunt when introducing guests who visited his house.
As for him scolded before, he didn't think about it. He knew that his aunt did that because she was anxious about him.
"And Zen-san, this is Mito-san and also my grandmother!"
Once again, Gon chirped while introducing a young woman named Mito and also his grandmother to Zen.
"Hello Mito-san, grandma, I'm Zen. Sorry if I troubled both of you."
Zen said while nodding. At this moment, he tried to calm his spirited self. Hunter x Hunter was the first anime he saw, and Gon was also his favorite character at that time. So it's natural to feel a sense of joy when he is meeting with fictional characters in the real world!
"Not at all, Zen-san."
Reply Mito.
"Hai hai... Instead of talking outside the house, we better talk inside. Warmer, and also comfortable. Isn't that so Zen-Kun? "
With the same expression, Grandma-Freecs said while suggesting to talk inside the house. She saw that the sky was completely dark and the air was getting cold.
"Was it okay? I'm afraid that I might be troublesome for Grandma and also Mito-san. "
Zen answered quickly. He was a little hesitant to enter Gon's house. He was worried that he would bother Gon's family.
"Not at all, think of it as your own home. Come, let's go in. "
Shaking her head, Freecs-grandmother said as she turned and began to enter her house.
"Right what Grandma said, let's enter Zen-san. It's also cold outside, and also you look a little bit dirty. I will provide warm water for you."
"Right Zen-san. Come in. There is also good food waiting inside!"
Said Mito and Gon. Gon began to pull Zen's hand and immediately brought him into the house.
'Yeah... This family is amiable and warm, absolutely the same as in the anime.'
'It would be great if I had a family like this in my life. Too bad, my mother and father. Huh..."
Zen said in his heart while sighing. His expression also looks so sad.
"Gon, slower, I can do it myself. Haha~"
With a warm laugh, Zen, who pulled by Gon, began to step into the house. He immediately brushed aside the feelings he had unintentionally pulled out before.
