A little secret
It was around 9 PM when Suzuki’s car arrived at our house carrying Akane and the others. I asked if they wanted to stay the night. There were enough rooms for us anyway.
They did leave the car and entered the house, however, they only planned to talk about the request I asked them about earlier this morning.
Aika and Hiyori weren’t permitted to spend overnight in their ‘friend’s’ house. Or rather, it was too late for them to ask.
As for Mizuki, she took up the responsibility to send them home properly and with prepared justification why they were out until this late into the night.
Anyway, my request was simple. I asked them to observe Otoha’s surroundings, whether they were strictly guarding her or if her mother kept on hounding her.
Apparently, even though they only stayed for a few hours there, her mother bugged them with questions concerning Otoha’s ‘significant other’.
