Kasahara Fumi was quite nervous.
She was afraid that Fujiwara Reya might burst in at this moment, discovering her mother here, and mistakenly believe she had broken her promise.
Due to her nervousness, coupled with the high midday temperature, her body was heating up excessively. Sweat beads emerged on her skin, the mix of sweat and perfume fragrance wafting through the room.
"Do you need something?" Kasahara Fumi asked towards the door.
"Oh, nothing major, just wanted you to get ready, take a bath, change clothes or something, we're going to play in the courtyard."
"I don't want to go..."
"Everyone's gone, won't you be bored staying home alone?"
"I don't..."

"Looking forward to it!"
The young boy outside the door chuckled and then left.
The now quiet room echoed with the sound of silk being untied.
"Mother?"
