Chapter 301 - LIKE A BEGGAR (1/2)

Over the next few days, things were uneventful. The house was quiet, and everyone was getting along in the Yamazaki family. After Hanae apologised to Akira, she did not cause further trouble.

In fact, she avoided Akira altogether, except during meals. She excused herself by letting the Yamazaki couple know that she was preparing for an important piano competition. ​​

On the fifth day after Akira's arrival, Sayaka brought up an important subject during breakfast.

”Akira, why don't we go shopping? I have noticed that you have not worn any of the clothes in your room. Don't you like them?” She asked.

Akira took a sip of her tea.

”The size is not suitable for me. There is no need to go shopping. My clothes will be delivered in a few days.” She responded.

She had been wearing her standard black trousers with a white t-shirt over the last few days. She had carried several pairs for convenience. They did not take up a lot of space in her suitcase.

She had indeed made arrangements for clothes to be sent to Mountain Ridge, but she intended to have them delivered to the apartment she had acquired before coming to the city.

”There is no harm in having a few more clothes,” Daiki spoke up with a gentle smile.

Akira paused for a moment before she nodded. If she got more clothes, she could keep hers in the apartment and use the new ones.

”Excellent!” Sayaka clapped her hands happily. ”We can spend the day shopping. Maybe have lunch at the Saffron Garden.”

Akira did not oppose. She was a bit curious about the city.

”Hanae, would you like to come? I know that you have been busy practising for the competition.” Sayaka asked the quiet girl.

Since that day, Hanae had become a little subdued. Therefore, she did not talk like before. Sayaka invited her for the shopping trip so that she could also cheer up a little. Moreover, she wanted the two young women to get along.

”Yeah.” Hanae looked at her aunt and smiled a little.

”Excellent. As for the clothes we bought for Akira before, they are your size, so I will have the maids put them in your bedroom. I have also been thinking that they should transfer the décor in that bedroom to your own since you already used it for a while. What do you think?” Sayaka smiled back at Hanae.

Hanae clutched her chopsticks tightly in her hand at the statement. While Sayaka was being considerate, she felt like she was getting Akira's rejects. Granted, she is the one who had chosen the things, but she had only agreed to go shopping so that she could cheer herself up by getting new things.

”Alright.” She said in a soft voice.

”Then, we should get ready for girls' day out.” Sayaka pumped her hand with enthusiasm.

Hanae went to her bedroom with a sullen face after breakfast. She was angry, but she had no way to vent her anger at the injustice she had just experienced.
