Everyone present was stunned.
Clearly, none of them had expected Natsume Kayo to arrive.
After thinking it over, Natsume Chikage still went to open the door.
He also wanted to know why she had come.
He opened the door.
Natsume Kayo stood there in a lovely casual outfit today, perfectly highlighting her gentle, virtuous, beautiful older-sister aura.
