NOTHING IN COMMON

When Sayaka returned home after dropping off Hanae, it was a little late in the afternoon. The meeting with the potential mentor went on well. Her niece impressed the classical music professor with ease. If nothing went wrong, Hanae would have someone to guide her in the university and her long-term career. 

As she entered the house, she found Akira getting ready to leave the mansion.

"Akira, are you going back to the apartment?" Sayaka asked. 

"Mmmh, I have some work to do before the day ends. Aunt Nanase and the twins as well as my friend left a while ago." Akira said.

"It has been a while since you slept here. Even your bed has new cobwebs." Sayaka joked. 

Akira looked at her mother for a moment. "I can't stay over tonight because I have some matters to manage. But we can have tea before I leave."
