Concerned about Karena's well-being, Roland temporarily bid farewell to his mother and headed next door to the Kaur residence.
Fortunately, Roland had a key to the Kaur's house, allowing him to enter without knocking.
There was no need for formalities between the two families; they had long since abandoned any pretense of privacy, practically living as one household.
In fact, Roland admitted that he had often woken up to find Karena sleeping beside him, having brazenly invaded his room as if it were her own. She treated his room like her personal bedroom, coming and going as she pleased!
Not that Roland minded at all, of course.
Only a fool would object to such an arrangement—unless, perhaps, a donkey had kicked him in the head.
But my mother was being unreasonable. Knowing full well how close I and Karena were, she still insisted me to go on a matchmaking date with the Yukino family. What exactly was she scheming in that brain?
