When Tetsuya opens the door, his eyes are widened open. In front of him, there is a man in a mid-20s and also a girl that looks the same age as him that is so familiar to him. He didn't expect that the identity of his father's friend is going to be Aya's father.
Both of them who are in front of Tetsuya are surprises when they see Tetsuya.
"Tetsuya?!" Said Aya who is surprised when she saw Tetsuya in front of her.
"Are you perhaps the son of Tohno Yukio?" Asked Aya's father who looks at Tetsuya with a surprised expression.
"Well... Yes." Said Tetsuya who still wears a surprised expression but soon changes into a wry smile.
"Is this your house Tetsuya?" Asked Aya with a happy smile while looking at Tetsuya as she then took a step closer to Tetsuya.
"Yep, this is my house." Said Tetsuya with a wry smile due to Aya is being too close to him.
"Is your father currently at home?" Asked Aya's father while looking at Tetsuya.
"Of course, he is in the living room right now." Said Tetsuya.
"I see, then pardon the intrusion." Said Aya's father who then walk inside the house with Aya.
Tetsuya then leads both of them to the living room.
"Long time no see, Hiroshi." Said Yukio while looking at Aya's father with a smile as he then reveals the name of Aya's father.
{A/N: Since Aya's father doesn't have a name, I decided to name him Hiroshi}
"It's been a long time indeed Yukio, Anna." Said Hiroshi who is looking at both Yukio and Anna which both of them reply with a smile. Hiroshi then looks around, but when he suddenly notices Shuri, he shows a surprised expression.
"Why is Shuri here?" Asked Hiroshi while looking at Yukio with a bit terrified expression.
"Ara, Hiroshi-kun aren't you happy that you can meet your old friend?" Said Shuri with a smile while looking at Hiroshi, but somehow the smile is a bit dark.
"Eeek!!" Hiroshi then hides behind Yukio's couch while shivering.
"Due to her circumstance, she lived here." Said Anna with a wry smile while looking at Hiroshi.
Tetsuya who see this can only show a shocked expression. He didn't expect that Aya Father or Hiroshi is different from what he sees in the anime and Visual Novel, though the scene where Aya Father shows up only a few.
After that, Yukio then introduces Hiroshi and Aya to us children, but when they heard that I already meet Aya and Hiroshi almost everyone in the living room surprise.
Anna, Tetsuya's mother then quickly figure out that Aya is the girl who played with Tetsuya in the park and quickly come closer to Aya so that she can hold a conversation with her. Aya who is surprised by Anna tries her best to respond to Anna's question, But after learning that Anna is Tetsuya's mother she and Anna seem to get along to the point she calls Tetsuya mother Anna-san.
"Hey, Aya what do you think about Tetsuya?" Asked Anna while looking at Aya with a smile.
Tetsuya who hears this question can only look at his mother with a surprised expression.
'Mom!! Why're you asking that type of question in front of me!!' thinks Tetsuya who looks at his mother.
"Tetsuya is my first friend." Said Aya with a neutral face while looking at Tetsuya, but there is a slight blush on her face which gets noticed by Anna.
Anna then looks at Tetsuya with a smile that is saying that she is proud of her son on her face which Tetsuya then replies with a deadpan expression while looking at her.
After that, everyone then introduces themself to Aya and Hiroshi except the people who already know Hiroshi only introduce themself to Aya. Akeno and Aya get along with each other very well after a few minutes of talking, though somehow Tetsuya can notice the flame of rivalry from Akeno's eyes while she is looking at Aya.
All of us then eat dinner together with Aya and Hiroshi in the 'Living Room'.
"Hey, Hiroshi why don't we drink in my Barroom, it's been a long time right you haven't been drinking?." Said Yukio while looking at Hiroshi with a smile on his face.
"You have a bar in your house!?" Said Hiroshi with a surprised expression while looking at Yukio.
"Of course, I have a bar, now you're coming with me or what?" Asked Yukio while going to the second floor.
After a few moments, Hiroshi then decides to drink with Yukio while following him from behind. Everyone other than both of them decides to be in the Living Room while having fun.

-- Second Floor - Barroom --
Right now both Yukio and Hiroshi are drinking in the barroom inside Yukio's house.
"Ahh~ it's been a while since I have a drink." Said Hiroshi while drinking one of Yukio's Alcohol.
"It's good right." Said Yukio while looking at Hiroshi with a proud expression.
To be told, Yukio loves to collect alcohol and wine around the world, even the alcohol and wine from the Underworld.
"It's so good." Said Hiroshi while showing a big smile after drink some alcohol.
"How has it's been?" Asked Yukio while looking at Hiroshi while drinking a glass of alcohol.
"It's been fine... But I'm worried about Aya... You know she never has a good childhood since We always traveling around ever since she was still little. I don't have any relatives, so I don't have any choice but to make her travel around with me... I'm a bad father am I?" Said Hiroshi while showing a sad smile while drinking a glass of alcohol.
"Of course not, I think she is going to be proud of you for raising Aya and also for didn't give up on your dream." Said Yukio while looking at Hiroshi with a sad smile while trying to imply 'she' to a certain person.
"It's been 6 years since Aiya died, but the only thing that I do after Aya was born is to travel around while dreaming of curing all people in the world. Of course, she is going to be disappointed in me... After all, I took my daughter's future away from her." Said Hiroshi while drinking a glass of alcohol.
{A/N: Aiya is Aya's mother and Hiroshi's wife.}
Yukio who listening to his friend Hiroshi could only show a worried expression, as he feels that his friend needs some help, he then got some idea on how to help his friend.
"Hiroshi." Said Yukio while looking at Hiroshi.
Hiroshi who heard Yukio call his name could only look at him.
"Let me take care of your daughter when you're traveling." Said Yukio who once again drink a glass of alcohol.
"What?!!" Said Hiroshi while looking at Yukio with a shocked expression.
"Well, your daughter seems close to my son, and also Anna seems to come to like your daughter as well." Said Yukio while looking at Hiroshi with a big smile on his face.
"B-but that would trouble you." Said Hiroshi while looking at Yukio with a surprised expression.
"Don't underestimate your friend, Hiroshi. You know right, that a friend will help a friend that is in need." Said Yukio while starting to give Hiroshi a fist bump in Hiroshi's chest.
Hiroshi who heard this feel touched by his friend's words.
"Looks like I owe you a big time." Said Hiroshi who could only sigh while smiling as he drinks a glass of alcohol.
"Nah, you don't need to owe me anything... At least this is all I could do to help a friend in need." Said Yukio who give a big grin while looking at Hiroshi.
Hiroshi who heard this could only feel more touched as he smiles at Yukio.
"Then I will take your word for it." Said Hiroshi who once more drink a glass of alcohol.
"Sure." Said Yukio who is smiling at Hiroshi.
Both of them then happily drink more alcohol while chatting about many things while enjoying their drink.

-- First Floor - Living Room--
In the living room, there are 6 people who are sitting on the couch while talking to each other.
"What!! He didn't let you go to school?!" Said Anna who suddenly shouts at the living room.
"No... It's just that there weren't many schools in there." Said Aya who respond to Anna.
"Ara ara~ Looks like someone needs some punishment." Said Shuri with a dark smile as she implying the word 'someone' to a certain person who is still drinking alcohol.
"Why don't you go to school Aya. That way we can always be together every time." Said Akeno while looking at Aya with an enthusiastic expression.
"I want to... But..." Said Aya but the truth is that she been longing for wanting to go to school, but she doesn't want to bother her father which makes her afraid to ask her father.
Tetsuya who looks at Aya knows what Aya feels right now since he plays the Visual Novel of Little Busters. He understands that Aya in her childhood been longing to make friends, to have some fun with friends that she makes, and also she doesn't want to split up with the friend that she makes during her stay, but this isn't possible due to Hiroshi, Aya father job.
"Why don't you ask your father to let you go to school in here, he probably going to accept it." Said Tetsuya while looking at Aya with a smile, he knows that right now what Aya lack right now is the courage to tell her true feeling, so the only thing he could do right now is to encourage her.
Tetsuya also has another way of making Aya stay in here by asking his father, but of course he doesn't want to do that since he wants Aya to say it herself, so she can reveal her own true feeling herself.
"...Okay, I will try!!" Said Aya vigorously while looking at Tetsuya.
Tetsuya who hear Aya only nod at her with a smile on his face.
Anna and Shuri could only smile while looking at both of them.
All of them then continue having a fun conversation until Yukio and Hiroshi come down to the 'Living Room'.
