บท 292: We Will Rebuild Our Small Family

After their speech, the couple was greeted with thunderous claps that reverberated all over the hall. Even their family applauded them wholeheartedly. Grandpa's old eyes got a bit teary, so did Ono's and Yuki's. Ryota lovingly patted his sister's head as Aunt Masako, Uncle Tetsuya and Aunt Amaya gave the couple heartening smiles.

"Good job, cousin," Ryota stood up and smacked Kyoya's shoulders. Kyoya smiled silently. He gave his cousin an appreciative hug.

"You've done well, Shouko," Aunt Masako brought her niece in her arms. She gently patted Shouko's back, "Wherever you are and whatever you do, Little Riceball always wants you to be happy."

"Yes, sister," Ono chuckled with her eyes glistening, "Be happy, alright?"

Shouko looked at Ono with a smile. She loosened Aunt Masako's embrace and pulled Ono together. The three Yuasa ladies hugged each other as they laughed and cried at the same time.
