章 2030: Chisato-nee-san's Story

For the next few minutes, I continued to converse with Chisato-nee-san. Yua just listened silently on my side while still pretending to be dazed from the song -- it's her way to feign ignorance in Kaoru-san and the other's eyes.

Although Chisato-nee-san favored me a lot, she's also still reluctant to reveal more information to me regarding that side of our family. Because until this moment, my father who was refusing to return was considered an exile.

But from that alone, it's easy to picture how strict and closed off the Onoda Clan is. They're probably very traditional in the way they handle the younger generations.

I could imagine wrinkled old men or women sitting around a long table, discussing the affairs of the family at every gathering. There, they're deciding matters concerning their territory as well as their descendant's activities.

Surely, it's not like that, right?
