"...Alright."
Tsurumi Aoi watched the purple and white juban fluttering up to the second floor, feeling an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
That... is it a ghost story?
The girl couldn't refuse her teacher's suggestion, lingering for a moment before obediently turning to the bathroom.
...
About twenty minutes later, Tsurumi Aoi emerged from the bathroom feeling refreshed.
She changed into a white shirt from Bunshu Yohime.
She smoothed her hair and tugged at the hem of the shirt, heading towards the living room with the door wide open.
In the brightly lit room, Kamiya was seated by the coffee table, reviewing GENIE Studio's operational report compiled by Bunshu Yohime.
Hannya sat gracefully next to him, silently accompanying and quietly sipping tea.
Seeing his young apprentice standing awkwardly at the door, Kamiya spoke, "Come in and sit, Tsurumi."
"Alright, Teacher."
"Would you like some tea?"
"Th-thank you."
