The four people were in a good mood after the hotpot. Seiji decided not to return to his house near the hospital. Instead, they all piled up in Daiki's car and returned to the mansion while praising Akira endlessly for the meal.
Akira's lips twitched as she listened to them. She had not even done anything except preparing the soup base.
Their mood was good as they walked from the car to the house. Sayaka had long put aside the unpleasantness of the afternoon, and Seiji was no longer haggard and tired.
However, as soon as they entered the house, their good spirits plummeted.
"Where were you?" Kazuo asked harshly as soon as the group of four stepped into the house.
The man looked at them with a wave of unfounded anger and disappointment. The four of them were put off by the question, but Daiki was the angriest at the audacious tone from his son.
"Oh, do we need to report our whereabouts to you?" He asked coldly.
