章 2284: Lively House

Upon arriving home, I immediately noticed my father's car parked outside. And the activity within the house was undeniably lively.

I could hear Minoru's laughter along with Fubuki's. Looks like those two kids hit it off, huh? More importantly though, our neighbors, Akane's parents, were also inside.

As soon as I approached the front door, it swung open revealing a face that I hadn't seen for weeks...

"Miwa-nee, you're--"

I hadn't finished talking yet when the woman immediately rushed to embrace me, my head immediately getting buried within her bountiful chest.

"Welcome home, Ruki."

That's all she whispered but hearing her voice like this again was enough for me to be a little emotional.

My arms wrapped around her, reciprocating her embrace as I replied, "I'm home, Miwa-nee."
