"Miko, I'm just so glad you're okay!"
"When I heard you'd been in a car accident and might even have suffered a serious head injury, Mom was scared out of her mind."
Mrs. Yotsuya hugged her daughter tightly, finally letting go of the worry in her heart. She hadn't shown it on the way here, but her heart had been clenched the entire time.
But Griseo and Kyosuke were here. If even she, the adult, panicked, who knew how worried those two children would become?
"Mom..."
Seeing her mother's heartfelt emotions, Miko felt a little guilty.
"Yeah! You had us worried sick. Be more careful, idiot."
Kyosuke had even turned his head away, wiping his tears with his sleeve.

"No!"
Mrs. Yotsuya was the first to object.
"Yeah! Kyosuke, you still have school!"
Naturally, Miko wasn't going to let Kyosuke stay either. Her condition wasn't serious at all; how could she delay
