...****************...
The next morning, Noa prepared a special breakfast for Kaizen. Noa is excited to make breakfast for Kaizen.
Meanwhile, Kaizen awakens due to the ringtone of the phone on her phone. He gets a call from Mr. Kenji who wants to ask him something.
"What? " Kaizen who was still half-conscious spoke while rubbing his eyes.
"key. Do you know where? "
š¢
"I'M IN TOKYO! I DON'T KNOW! "
.....
(*afterwards, at the dinner table)
"Tch. You may ask for a key. Though he knew I was in Tokyo. "*murm š¢š¢
Kaizen came down the stairs with a feeling of annoyance and annoyance.
"Sister..? "
"Eh?! " (@ć»ć»@ļ¼?
"You're not in school? "
"Now Saturday. "
"Eh? Really? "
"Yes. "
"I forgot. It's worth asking for the key. " ļ¼-"""-;)
"Sister why? "
"I'm not papa. Just a little upset with my boss. "
"so yeah. "
Noa prepares bread and coffee for Kaizen. They ate together at the dinner table accompanied by a small chat.
The two of them continued the day by going to bookstores and art museums.
"(i really don't understand the taste of Noa.) " (knew ā ā
"No, you always come here? "
"Yes. I come here almost every week. "
"Huh?!! Almost every week?! "
"Why? " In a plain-Noa tone tilted her head slightly.
"Bu-it's nothing.. "
Kaizen does not really understand the value of painting. But Kaizen understands that Noa really likes things like this.
.
.
.
Kaizen grew tired of accompanying Noa around looking at paintings and sculptures. While Noa was walking around, Kaizen sat on the sofa to rest for a while.
"Excuse me, this painting is real? "
"Of course, miss. "
Kaizen's gaze was fixed on the girl in a bright red dress, with her hair unraveled. The girl was holding a notebook and a pen - she was so enthusiastic about recording historical explanations and various paintings.
Kaizen finally realizes who the girl is. She is the daughter of the famous novelist, Katou Asuka-and the one in front of her is her adopted daughter, Katou Shizuka.
Although only 19 years old, Katou Shizuka has the potential to become a famous writer. Shizuka is able to combine the original history with the stories he made. But unfortunately Shizuka was unable to realize her dream as a writer because her adoptive family did not want it. To put it simply, Shizuka entered the Katou family just as an enhancer of the family members. He was adopted when he was 6 years old, at an orphanage in Saitama.
Katou's family rose to fame when Katou Asuka told her story on a small theater stage. Over time everyone began to be interested in his stage play. But, Katou Asuka really wanted a daughter as an addition to her family members. She has only 3 sons who are now changing professions in the field of sports, just like her husband. That's why, upon seeing Shizuka's talent in drawing-without a second thought Asuka immediately adopted her. With notes..! Shizuka will be given a life of luxury and freedom, but she will not be able to show her talent in the art of writing before Asuka dies.
"(there is a possibility that Katou Asuka is unmatched by him. She's a really stupid woman. Why adopt a child?) "
"(Ah. but from the records I read, Shizuka always gets bad treatment in the orphanage.) "
"Sister..? "
"Uh? "
"Uh?! "
"Why is my sister here? " a boy came over to Shizuka.
"Leos. "
"Uhhhh! (don't tell me he.!) "
Katou Leo, the youngest son of Katou Asuka. Although he is still 14 years old, in fact Leo has been able to open his own career as a volleyball athlete.
"(how can I meet people like them?!!) " (ćoć;) ?!!
"I can keep this a secret, so that my brother is not angry. "
"Thank you Leo, but I think you already know.. "
"Uhhhh! Then.. sister wants what now? "
"I am ready to accept the punishment. Because it's the rules of the Katou family, right? "
"Hm. "
Kaizen stared at the long talk of Shizuka and Leo. Kaizen realizes one thing about Shizuka.
Shizuka always appears in the same dress at every event. At some meetings Shizuka also used plain dresses and makeup.
"Sister."
"Ehh! (ćoć;) "
"What are you seeing? "
"Bu-nothing..Have you finished looking around? "
"Not yet. but.. "
Noa's gaze was fixed on Shizuka and Leo.
"Uhs. Brother Shizuka! "
"Eh?! (@ć»ć»@ļ¼?? "
"Np? " *reversing the body

(*Cafe)
"I'm glad to see you here, it's been a long time since we've met. "
"Yes, how's your school? "
"Currently. By the way big brother is now part of the Katou family isn't he? How does it feel to live there? "
"Funny. "*smile
"so yeah. Mercifully. "
Kaizen knows that her father has a problem with Katou Asuka, which is why she tries to keep her distance from her children. But unexpectedly, Noa was very familiar with her adopted son. Kaizen can only resign herself to a situation where she must be familiar with the children of the Katou family.
Katou Asuka was famous for being strict with her children. He did not hesitate to punish his son - by excommunicating him. But this is what makes children independent and have the ambition to change. Katou Asuka also hates if her wishes are not obeyed, she also does not like if her orders are violated. Because that's his nickname "The Proud Fox". Some people who hate Katou Asuka, are more supportive of her adopted daughter - as well as Katou Asuka's younger sister, Katou Rin.
The conversation between Noa and Asuka made Kaizen think of one thing. The questions Noa asked were as if she was interrogating Shizuka.
"Sister. mother is already at home." said Leo while pointing at the phone containing his chat with Asuka.
"All right, I'm going. Thank you for talking to me. "*hunchback
"Yes. See you later, Shizuka. "
"Ehm. See you around. "
Kaizen suspects that Noa is familiar with Shizuka. The way of speaking, tone, and expression, everything was like Noa had set. But Kaizen still wants to trust her sister.
"(He couldn't have done that.) "inner Kaizen.
Afterwards, they went to one of the restaurants that sold Italian food. While Noa orders food, Kaizen sits at the table playing her phone.
"Every Saturday this restaurant has a discount, so which one do you want? "
(ćoć;) !
"Y-whichever one.. "
"Hm. Alright.. "
"(i don't know Italian food, sorry Noa_-*)" Kaizen said.
Kaizen opens her phone and sees the message she got.
"(if from Mr. Kenji I will ignore) š¢"
"šš¢š³š¶š¬šŖ"
"Uh?! "
*click.

"This child.. "
"Sister? "
"Uhhhh! "
"What's wrong? "
"O-oh, it's nothing. Haruki says he's coming home, because the game is in Tokyo. "
"(actually what match? I didn't hear there was a martial arts match in Tokyo.) "inner Kaizen.
Kaizen and Noa eat together. Meanwhile Haruki is on his way to Tokyo by car.
Will their meeting reunite their relationship?
