Is it coming today?
Unexpectedly so soon...
Walking in front, Kamisato Ayato couldn't help but think this.
Since Lady Guuji spoke to him about that matter, he had assumed it would be some time before it happened. Yet, it was coming today; this was truly far beyond his expectations.
However, unexpected as it was, he had still been preparing for it at every moment.
Phew...
Hope...
It goes smoothly...
Exhaling a deep breath, Kamisato Ayato silently hoped that this event would pass successfully.
Not that he expected to rise meteorically because of it; he simply hoped the Kamisato Clan would remain safe and stable.
"Lady Guuji." At this moment, Ayaka appeared at the doorway.
Just moments ago, she had been attending to some matters in her own room. Upon hearing the exchange between Thoma and her brother, she immediately changed into more formal attire and came out.
"Why are you dressed so formally? Are you going somewhere?"
Stopping in front of Ayaka, Miko asked with a smile.
"With Lady Guuji visiting, naturally, one must dress a bit more formally." In response to Miko's query, Ayaka answered in this manner.
In truth, she had been wearing casual clothes just now. Hearing that Miko was coming and having little time, she hadn't selected carefully, simply choosing the more formal outfit she was currently wearing.
"Why stand on such ceremony? Enough of that, let's eat breakfast." Feeling that she should hurry up and eat breakfast, Miko walked into the Kamisato Estate after saying this, with Kaito following closely behind.
Is he Lady Guuji's friend?
Silently watching the young man behind Lady Guuji walk past her, Ayaka couldn't help but wonder.
Because she had come out a bit late, she hadn't heard Miko's introduction of Kaito just now.
Though, strictly speaking, that wasn't really an introduction; she had merely mentioned his name and nothing else.
Afterwards, Kamisato Ayato also walked in.
"Thoma."
"Miss Ayaka, what is it?"
Thoma, who was just preparing to follow them inside, suddenly heard Ayaka's voice, stopped immediately, and looked at her asking this.
"That young man... is he Lady Guuji's friend?" Her gaze remaining fixed on the doorway, Ayaka asked this question.
Although she knew it might not be necessary for her to know these things, she wanted to know a little more. That way, she could understand the situation and perhaps share some of the burdens of the Kamisato Clan.
Regardless of the circumstances, she didn't want to just stand by and watch without knowing anything.
"Uh... that question... actually, I'm not sure either." Scratching his head, Thoma then slowly shook it. However, he had heard the conversation between that young man and Lady Guuji just now, so he offered a guess to Ayaka: "But I think... he should be Lady Guuji's friend."
"Why do you say that?"
Seeing Thoma's uncertain expression, Ayaka became very curious.
"It's like this..." Seeing Miss Ayaka so curious, Thoma repeated the conversation he had just heard to her.
What?
Lady Guuji is actually so familiar with that young man...
And I've never heard of his existence at all...
It had to be said, after listening to Thoma's retelling, Ayaka was shocked.
Because usually, she exchanged letters with Lady Guuji quite frequently, yet she had never heard of this young man.
"Then I'll head in first? Miss Ayaka." Thinking that he had finished answering the question, and that the Clan Head inside might need him, Thoma wanted to go in quickly.
"Mn, go on in."
Knowing Thoma needed to go in and help, Ayaka nodded.
Since it was Lady Guuji and her friend visiting, she also had to hurry in to entertain them.
Afterwards, Thoma and Ayaka walked in one after the other.
Inside the Kamisato Estate.
"Eat fast, eat fast." With both her hands and mouth moving non-stop, Miko didn't forget to tell Kaito, who was sitting opposite her, to eat faster.
"Why eat so fast? Are you a starving ghost reincarnated?"
Clearly not understanding why Miko was rushing him like this, Kaito couldn't help but say this.
And his words provoked some dissatisfaction from Miko.
"You guy, telling you to eat fast is for your own good, to avoid you going hungry later."
"Why?" Kaito was even more confused now; he didn't know what Miko was doing. They were just eating a meal; was it necessary to be in such a rush?
"Oh my, later when Mei arrives, don't you ask her to eat with us. She still has to execute the plan."
Seeing Kaito's confused look, Miko couldn't be bothered to explain further.
Anyway, it didn't matter. It was just breakfast; at worst, this guy could just eat again at noon.
When she arrives, naturally I know...
Regarding Miko's words, Kaito silently thought this in his heart.
Of course, thinking it was one thing; he still couldn't say it out loud directly.
However, even so, Kaito still accelerated his eating speed.
Since Miko wanted to be a bit faster, then he would be a bit faster.
After a while.
The Study.
"Brother, the tea is ready." Because Miko had told Kamisato Ayato earlier that she and Kaito would come find him in the study after finishing breakfast, he had been waiting in the study early on, while Ayaka had brewed tea and prepared some snacks.
"Thank you for your hard work, Ayaka."
Looking at his sister, Kamisato Ayato nodded.
He felt that what came next should be the matter Lady Guuji had spoken to him about before.
But...
Why is that young man here too?
Although he felt there was a high probability that the event Lady Guuji mentioned before was about to happen, Kamisato Ayato clearly couldn't figure out why that young man would be present.
The existence of this young man was something Lady Guuji hadn't mentioned before.
Should I ask?
Glancing at the doorway, Kamisato Ayato couldn't help but think this, but he didn't know if he should ask, or if Lady Guuji would answer him.
"What is it? Brother."
Seeing her brother suddenly frowning as if he were thinking about something, Ayaka asked with some concern.
"It's nothing."
Seeing his sister looking at him with a face full of concern, Kamisato Ayato slowly shook his head after a moment of thought.
Regarding this question, better not to tell his sister.
"Alright, Brother."
Seeing her brother didn't want to say, Ayaka didn't continue asking.
She knew that since her brother didn't want to speak of it, it meant this matter wasn't something she was allowed to know.
Da da da—
Just then, the sound of footsteps came from outside the door, causing everyone in the room to look over one after another.
Is it coming...
Thinking this, Kamisato Ayato stood up and walked toward the door.
