Ken couldn't contribute too much to the conversation outside of his love for baseball. He did talk about Daichi joining his family, however he left out the specifics of his abusive mother, feeling it was a little too heavy for their first proper conversation.
Soon enough, the duo arrived in front of Ken's house.
Ken carefully placed the bicycle on the ground and asked Ai to wait there for a moment.
"Mom, I'm home."
After opening the door, Ken called out to his mother. However, a moment later he suddenly felt a familiar dangerous aura coming from the kitchen, causing him to freeze on the spot.
'Damn it! I forgot that mom was in that mood.'
Ken panicked, trying to figure out what to do next.
"M-Mom, I need the first aid kit please."
It wasn't ideal, but he would have to do the first aid on Ai himself.
