"Now, off you go. Be careful, though."

Yuzuki skipped towards the first house he set his eyes upon. Despite the rain, his oddly quiet but positive aura stayed afloat around him. He reached out his small hands-- both of them-- and knocked on the door loudly.

Would it even be called knocking if he was banging them? Yes, probably.

"Hellooooo!!! Is anybody homeeee???" Yuzuki yelled out in an attempt to be louder than the rain. He figured it was like what Kishi had said-- either they're really not home or that they just didn't hear them from the loudness of the rain.

They also thought that they were all possibly inside due to the weirdly heavy rain. Was it always raining here? Yuzuki felt some sort of connection to the place, even though he told the lavender-haired Ichisaki that he's from here.
