Isn’t this day quite long.
No, actually, just half of the day, and an abundance of things have already happened.
I seem to have befriended a spy which I assume is not the sly kind, Ms. Sora Kagurazaka and her father personally apologized to us and insisted to giving us some kind of compensation, Anna declared that she fell for Akira, and then he later admitted his feelings for my younger sister in front of the entire Sakato family… ahem, including a soon-to-be.
And on top of it all, I only planned to make lasagna for lunch, but the family decided to one-sidedly eat in my house and that is why Mom and Rin made more stuffings in our stomach.
That sounded really inappropriate…
But I guess deep within, we were under a celebratory vibe…? I know that we men shouldn't really be so happy about Anna falling in love "this early."
Ouch, that hurt, it hit me really hard.
I however am a witness in the situations that Akira has gone through, so it is not so hard to say that I trust him on this one. But me owing him one for saving her is another matter which I am still very thankful for. I know that this is not very good for me to say, but if things go well down the line, he may become someone that I would call my second brother-in-law.
And here I am getting ahead of myself again…
But now that we all separated and made Akira go home, only Rin and Haku remained with me in the house. I then realized something that I should have earlier.
And we're still watching live volleyball.
"If I was interpreting things right… they said that they are visiting all of those that are involved in the dinner gathering (spies excluded, I guess)."
"What's the mumbly mumble about?"
"I forgot to tell you this, but Takezo Kagurazaka and Ms. Sora actually visited us earlier."
"what"
"I won't tell you the details… since they'll probably visit your house later or at some point."
This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.
"What?!"
"Okay, don't get so fussy. They won't sue you for dust lying around your window sills."
"I gotta go home anyway…!"
"Okaaaay."
I guess it would be a nice change of pace to sit on the boundary wall of this house and paint the landscape while I attempt to wait for a black Mercedes B*nz to pass by this street again to welcome their car and hit it off with the driver.
I still don't like drawing too much perspective, but I guess my stress will disappear once I borrow Kei's Sw*tch dock and hook it up on the TV.
Today is indeed a very long day!

"Once again… As a form of our apology, we would like to propose something as a compensation for the harm we let to happen."
"I think that just an apology is quite enough…! It's not like our daughter was harmed in any way."
"So this is what Gin meant earlier…"
"Whatever it is that you have, I will listen. I want to know just how much Mr. Kagurazaka knows the stand of us people on the lower side of the hierarchy."
"This man is quite similar to Junpei for his persistence and truthfulness. Convention isn't really going to make him sit still."
Thus, Shuu came to this point after his short scrutiny. In the past, Junpei, who was still a delinquent, would not settle down with simple and normal ways, and that is why he opts to the unexpected in this kind of situation. But at the same time, the figure of the business world is being tested if this is all an act with his somewhat arrogant trait intact, or if it is from the honesty he is also known for.
"Based on her current academic circumstance, we propose to cover her collegiate fees… and alongside that, provide medical support for your family in emergency situations."
"…
To be brutally honest, if you were going to offer something unrealistic in terms of our status, I would not hesitate to shut our doors away from you two.
Mr. Kaguarazaka, you have earned my respect."
"No… I am the one who found great respect to a very strong family. And if not for my daughter's actions, we may have been kicked out."
"It will help us out a whole lot… we do not deserve this, but we are very grateful."

"Dad, can I stay for a while longer? I want to go to Anna's place again to hang out for a bit."
"Then we'll go on ahead. Remember that your driver will fetch you before dinner."
"I understand."
"Aaahh… I realized too late… We're going to Aomine's place tomorrow…"
…
"Soraaaaaaaaaa…!!!!!"
"What happened, Anna?"
"Waaaaahhhhhh…! So much happened after you left!"
"Wh-What…?"
"I wanna talk with Nee-chan right now… Come with meeeee…!"
"I don't even understand what you're saying anymore."
"Nee-chaaaaaaaannnnnnnn…!!!"
"What, Anna? Are you here for girls' talk?"
"Nee-chan, you meanie…!!"
"…
Ms. Sora… you're not the only who doesn't understand what's going on right now."
"I'm sorry about her, Ane Ringo."
"I already know that once a brother's an idiot, so is this whining one. Let's go to my room, then.
I have a lot of stories to tell about her~
Alright, time to interrogate Anna in a love talk!"
"Wha- Is that true, Anna?!"
"Wuaaaaahhhhhhh…!!"
"She said to please don't tell you. It's not going the way she wants, though."
"I see…
Wait, you understand that, Ringo-nee?"
"…! You just called me-!
Actually, there's a nice ring to it…!!"
