Mission Complete! Part 2 (Continued)

Isshiki hurriedly spoke.

After a rushed breakfast, Iroha Isshiki quickly left the house, only to return just as quickly because she had forgotten her lunchbox.

Only then did she truly head off to school.

Oreki lay on the bed. Isshiki's Mother was a full-time housewife, but she had gone out shopping at this hour.

Isshiki's Father had gone to work as well, so he was the only one in the house now.
