Yeah. Actually, were going to Suzukaze, theres some things we wanted to consult Suzu-san about

Akio pinched Natsukis arm when he answered excitedly.

Ooow. What?

Natsuki asked with tears in his eyes as Akio smiled widely.

Well be back in the evening.

I see. Take care.

After he saw them off and closed the front door for a moment, Touya slowly opened a small gap in the door. He saw the two of them shoving each other around as they headed toward the gate.

Stupid Natsuki, its supposed to be a secret still.

Why? Touya is going to be a bride.

Even if he hadnt seen them, they were obviously going to Suzus sweets shop to consult her about the marriage ceremony. He could easily imagine that cat-eared beauty giggling happily as she listened to their story. He suddenly had the urge to go after them, but Touya wasnt allowed to go outside. Kiri had told him, you cant go out unless Im with you. Even so, as long as it was just Suzus shophe could remember the way. It wasnt that far.

After wondering what he should do for a while, Touya opened the front door. This was his first time going outside by himself. A well kept garden and a stepping stone path leading straight to the wooden gate immediately spread before him. He walked cautiously. Once his hand was resting on the magnificently crafted wooden gate, he tried opening it.
