Natsuki and Akio looked as though the world was ending, but they immediately faced each other seeming to realize something.

I see, adult conversation, huh

Indeed.

He thought it was sad they went through the trouble of putting on their sweaters and couldnt go out, but the two of them were now smiling widely.

Have fun!

He was relieved they were now energetically seeing them off as they left the house, but he couldnt figure out why their moods had suddenly improved. However, now that he was alone with Kiri, it was a good chance for Touya to ask him some questions, about the human world, about how to hide his cat ears, about his relationship with Akio and Natsuki, and why those children looked so young, even though they had been here for twenty-one years. How were they able to stay as ayakashi cats even though they couldnt remember their pasts?

When they went outside, the houses lined up around Kiris mansion were also Japanese style homes. It had a quiet atmosphere.

Kiri-sama, good afternoon.

Good afternoon.

Since the people they passed greeted them, Touya also nodded in greeting as he walked next to Kiri. The people greeting him would glance at Touya curiously. He made a puzzled face as they left.
