Upon returning home, I expected to see a rather chaotic sight considering everyone that was supposed to come had already arrived.
However, that's not what I came home to. In our living room, I got treated by the sight of my girls crowded around Eimi.
They seemed very focused on something that only those who received me at the door noticed that I had returned.
Looking at it, I found Aya and Ria on her left and right. Behind her, Aoi’s arms slung around her neck, partly hugging her and partly combing her smooth hair. And in front, Hina was comfortably seated alongside Saki. Both of their heads were lifted, fully focused on Eimi.
The other girls were also nearby, seated on the floor or on the sofa.
Why are they so focused on Eimi?
Because the girl became their storyteller for today. And right as I stepped inside the living room, she was at the part where she was narrating a tale of something that happened last year which I could only vaguely remember by now.
