"No, I was just on my way to get you. What about you? Are you on your way anywhere?"
"No. I just thought I might go home with you, Nii-san, so I came here..."
"I see. It's lucky we didn't miss each other. Well then, let's go. Kohaku-san and Hisui are waiting."
"You're right. Let's go home, Nii-san."
"Oh, that's right, there's a question I've been wanting to ask you, Akiha."
"A question for me...?"
"Yeah. Why did you have that dislike for Senpai? Did you know her already, by any chance?"
"No, I met her for the first time yesterday. My dislike for her is simply psychological, so you don't need to worry about it."
"Psychological? What do you mean?"

"I mean, I can't control how I feel. It's the same as how you felt about father, so please don't worry about it."
"---Hold on, Akiha. I just disliked the old man, I didn't hate him."
"I don't hate her, either. ...... I suppose I exaggerated things today. I'll reflect on it, so please look leniently upon the affair at lunchtime."


"...... Right. I guess that's okay, then."
