When she entered the house, Mrs. Saijo was still on the phone.
It seemed she was speaking with a lawyer, discussing topics like sentencing and bail.
"Okay... okay... then I'll leave it to you, Lawyer Ueno."
After hanging up the phone, Mrs. Saijo turned around while maintaining her kneeling position and greeted him with a smile and a nod, "Are you Mr. Kagura? Mari has been under your care."
Kagura Hikaru was somewhat surprised because she looked very much like Saijo Mari, almost like a grown-up version of her.
She looked very tired, probably from running around recently, and her hair was untidily tied back in a ponytail that hung over her shoulder.
But it was clear that when groomed, she must be quite beautiful.
With composure, Kagura Hikaru sat upright on the tatami and bowed to Mrs. Saijo, "I apologize for the intrusion, please forgive me."
