Disturbed by the noise, I looked at Mina and saw that she’s as confused as me.
“You’re expecting a guest?”
“Not that I know of…” She shook her head.
After the initial banging noise, it rang out once more a few seconds later. This time, it was louder than before and accompanied by a faint voice.
It’s outside. With her room located at the backside of the house and the door shut closed, only a muffled incoherent voice reached us.
There’s her mother outside but just in case everything was fine, Mina and I stood up.
I held her hand in mine as we approached her door. There’s no reason to do so but still, just in case something was happening, I could easily defend my girl.
On the same note, I could also feel a certain fear welling up inside her. Fear for her mother’s safety.
We’re inside her room so the one attending the front door should be Auntie Yayoi. With two violent bangs and a voice that seemed to be shouting, it’s definitely not a simple angry neighbor.
