NO ONE KNOWS

Chiharu frowned a little, but her expression returned to normal. However, Kazuo could not take the surprise. The three people never stepped into the kitchen. Even when Sayaka served tea, she would only receive prepared items from a butler or a maid.

The unusual scene could not go unaddressed to him.

"Mom, why are you carrying serving trays? You don't have to do such menial tasks. Don't you have people for that?" He asked with his usual condescending tone. 

The tone caused their hackles to rise because the meal had been made by their smallest family member. 

"We have hands. Can't we carry food?" Sayaka retorted. 

Her anger with her son was not only about his current attitude. She had not forgotten about his efforts to convince her to apologise to Hanae and give in to her niece after that incident. Even though they had somewhat reconciled during the flower viewing party, she was still dissatisfied with him.
