Meanwhile, outside the Sugamo Apartment building.
Minamoto Tamako walked out with two elementary school students, descending the stairs and asking about their home address along the way.
She originally intended to call a taxi, but Mai said she had already made a call, and the housekeeper was on the way... Yes, she usually had a housekeeper for transportation.
Minamoto Tamako remembered Fushimi Roku's suggestion. He once wanted to buy a car to pick up and drop off Taira Sakurako from school. But the two of them were struggling financially, with their salaries barely covering living expenses, so the idea was eventually shelved.
The three of them, one adult and two children, stood by the street waiting for the housekeeper to pick them up in a car.
The street was quiet today, and looking around, it seemed like it was just the three of them.
