Upon hearing these words, Chiba Shimizu's eyes flashed with a peculiar emotion.
Haruka Yuzan, huh?
The soft lighting lazily spilled onto Madam's gentle face, revealing that Reiko Onodera was sincerely grateful and happy.
"My entire life has been a huge failure, without Haruka, it's really hard to imagine what future life would have become..."
The atmosphere had been set just right, and today Reiko Onodera also intended to talk a bit more about her own affairs...
"It's quite ridiculous how I came to Tokyo alone, thinking that even if I couldn't make a career for myself, at least improving the family environment should be no problem, but in the end..."
Her lips kept moving, but her hands never stopped working, putting away the washed dishes and utensils to one side, then started organizing the leftover ingredients from the meal she had just prepared.
Chiba Shimizu just quietly listened by her side, occasionally wiping the table clean, then helping out with the tidying up.
