Chapter 267: I'm hungry, why are you pressing on me?

"What, what is that? It's so big..."

Taimai muttered, unable to help herself as she looked towards the beach:

"I remember, it wasn't there just a moment ago, was it?"

"It's indeed big...and quite white."

Haruka Yuzan's gaze, however, fell upon the familiar figure beside the sandcastle.

Elegant and graceful, and bearing a face seven or eight parts similar to Reiko Onodera, she wore a coffee-colored camisole that seemed very cool. The comparatively loose neckline exposed a swath of snow-white skin, drawing the eye.

She was the mother of Reiko Onodera and the grandmother of Rika Onodera, Mariko Akiyama.

"Mother?"

Upon seeing that figure, Reiko Onodera couldn't help but softly call out.

How could she be here?

The group walked forward, and at that moment, Mariko Akiyama—who had been keeping an eye on what was happening inside the sandcastle—seemed to sense something. She lifted her head to look this way and revealed a gentle smile:

"Reiko, you've arrived."
