Suzuki Sonoko looked left and right, scratching at her hairpin as she gave an awkward laugh. She remembered the rumors about the Oga Family's wedding dispute—supposedly, the person most opposed to Oga Shinya marrying a commoner was the elderly woman standing before them.
Suzuki Sonoko: "..." Good thing she had brought plenty of people this time. With both Ran and Jiang Xia here, there was no need to worry even if the Oga Family suddenly started fighting among themselves.
She really was too clever!
After exchanging greetings and having lunch, Jiang Xia and the others did not stay at the hotel. Instead, they spent the afternoon wandering around Huis Ten Bosch.
By dusk, the group arrived at the Museum of Art. As they passed the enormous flower-bed clock in front of the museum, they looked up and spotted a familiar tan figure.
Jiang Xia looked at the dark-skinned man they had run into on the Shinkansen. "Finished looking around? What's it like inside?"
Takahashi Junichi laughed. "I just got to the entrance. I haven't gone in yet."
Since it was rare to run into each other again like this, they joined up and went inside together.
The moment he entered, Jiang Xia saw two familiar figures: Oga's Older Sister and Grandmother Oga were also in the museum, standing beside a display case and speaking quietly about something.
Noticing where he was looking, Suzuki Sonoko quietly gossiped to him, "I remember Grandma Amayo is very interested in classical glasswork. Oga's Older Sister must have come with her—the exhibits here are practically heaven for enthusiasts like them."
Beautiful handmade lamps filled the display cases, some old and some new. Even the newest pieces of glass were considerably older than Grandmother Oga—the nearly eighty-year-old matriarch. Standing here made people seem younger.
