The next day, Kagura Hikaru was woken up by the alarm on time.
It wasn't until he sat up in bed that he remembered today seemed to be Yuqiu High School's founding day. There was no school, and he didn't need to get up so early after all.
Once he was up, he couldn't go back to sleep, so he didn't force himself and simply got up to wash.
As he came downstairs, his stepmother was already making breakfast.
She was always the first to wake up, preparing meals and lunches for the whole family. Hikaru had always been grateful for her silent dedication.
After eating, he saw his father off to work.
Leisurely drinking milk and checking his phone, he heard the sound of a door opening from the guest room. Kiryu Hina leaned on the doorframe with her left hand, lazily and cutely covering her mouth with her sleeve, yawning.
"Aunt, Mister Hikaru, good morning...."
"Good morning, Hina-chan," the stepmother said as she came out of the kitchen, "How are you feeling now?"
