Atsui and Ringo finally arrive in front of Ringo's house. Atsui saw Ringo's residence that was quite comfortable to live in.

[At home is feeling happy (being quiet or living somewhere).]

"A two-story house with a modern balcony? Very good house design. I'm sure I'll stay here forever." Atsui's happy speech.

Wh-forever? His inner. "No. You only stayed here for one night." Ringo.

Ringo opened the fence and went in and closed the fence. While at the door, Ringo lowered Atsui and started knocking on the door.

Haus, tok ...

"Why are you knocking on the door? Why don't you just go in?" Ask Atsui.

"As far as I am." Answer Ringo briefly.

The door opened and the one that opened the door was Ringo's sister. "Welcome, Brother Ring ...."

"Yes, Brother is home." Ringo.

"K-Sister Ring? Haha ... Ring?" Laughing Atsui.

"Don't make fun of my brother!" Snap Suika.

"Yes, yeah. Ringo's nickname is funny." Atsui.

"Sister, who is he?" Ask Suika.

"This is Mizu Atsui's younger brother Mizu Samui's brother, Mizu Yoi's son." Answer Ringo.

"Hello, greetings." Atsui pinched Suika's cheek. "You're so cute. Cute, cute, cute ...."

"Stop!" Snap Suika.

"When you're angry, you're getting cute ...." Said Atsui who wanted to pinch Suika's cheek again.

"Have, already." Ringo broke them.

Ringo spoke again.

"Come, Atsui. Please come in."

"Thank you." Atsui.

Atsui enters Ringo's house. As Atsui walked in, he looked at the picture frame that was on the wall. "Ringo, who's that boy?"

"That's me being seven."

Atsui saw a cute photo of Ringo as a child. D-He was so cute as a kid.

"Mom, I'm home." Ringo.

"Yes, Ringo." Said the mother who was preparing dinner.

Ringo walks into the kitchen and tells Atsui that he will stay. "Mother, my friend will stay here. May it?"

"Wain? Of course I can." Answer mother.

"No, Ma. She's at —" When Ringo wants to tell her mother, suddenly Atsui goes into the kitchen and sees there's good food. "Wah .. This is a lot of food. There are honey grilled lobster, stingray sauce, yellow rice, and drinking water. It must be really good."

"Well, your guess is very correct." Say mother.

"Thank you, aunt." Atsui.

"He, Mom. He's the one who wants to stay the night. He is Mizu Atsui's younger brother Mizu Samui's brother, Mizu Yoi's son." Ringo.

"Mizu? You're Mizu Yoi's son, the King's Counselor, aren't you?" Ask mother.

"Yes, right. He's my father." Answer Atsui.

"Would you like to stay here?" Ask mother.

"Yes, Aunt. My mom's out of town on business and she's coming home next month. As for my sister, she was staying at her friend's house. So, I don't dare to be home alone, hehehe ...." Answer Atsui.

"Yaudah, you can stay here. " Say mother.

Mother spoke back.

"The food's not ready yet, so you take a shower first.

"Thank you, aunt." Atsui.

"Yes, you're welcome."

"At school, Atsui did not have time to bring a change of clothes. So, she's got no change of clothes." Ringo.

"You underestimated me too much, I brought a change of clothes, and the change of clothes was in my bag, hahaha ...." Atsui.

Apparently, he had prepared a change of clothes before leaving for school earlier. But, strangely enough, he had only met me for the first time today. Why did he bring a change of clothes? His sister had just told him the same when he was in the Master Hall. Do not-don't .., I don't know anymore lazy to think.

"Atsui, you take a shower first." Ringo.

"I? Why do I have to go first?" Ask Atsui.

"Because, you're a guest. Preferred guests." Answer Ringo.

"yes too. What ... You don't want to take a shower with me?" Atsui's teasing Ringo.

"Stop." Ringo.

"All right, I took a shower first. See you later." Atsui said to go to the bathroom and bring her bag.

"Ringo, you better take a shower. Our bathroom will have two." Say mother.

Oh, aye. Also true. His inner. "Good, Mom." Said Ringo who went to the bathroom one more time.

"Ringo, why are you taking a shower?" Ask Atsui.

"Actually, our bathroom has two." Answer Ringo.

Mother, Ringo, Atsui, and also Suika had already gathered in the kitchen and were sitting on the dining table seating. Everyone sat down, except Atsui who was still silent.

Ringo looked at that and asked him. "What's Atsui doing? Why don't you sit down?"

"There's no place for me." Answer Atsui.

"There was. It's empty. Next to my mother." Ringo.

"Yes, I know that. But .. It's your father's seat. If I'm sitting there, where's your dad sitting?" Ask Atsui.

This kid is really stupid. His inner. "Just relax, my dad's not coming home tonight." Answer Ringo.

"Suika, here sit next to Mom."

"Good, Mom."

"Atsui, please sit next to Ringo. So you guys can have a little easier time chatting."

"Yes, Aunt. Thank you." Thank you."

Atsui then sat down beside Ringo. Mother immediately took the yellow rice and prepared it for Atsui. "Is this enough, Atsui?"

"Enough, Aunt."

Mother then took the yellow rice and prepared it for Ringo and Suika. "Is this enough?"

"Enough, Mom." Answer them.

"Good meal ...." Say them all.

Atsui tried to taste a mouthful of yellow rice cooked by Ringo's mother. Atsui ate the first feed and chewed it.

Nyam, Nyam ...

This yellow rice ..., very good. Did Ringo's mother cook it using magic? His inner. "I-this is so good! Did you cook it with magic?

"No, I don't use magic."

Nyam, Nyam ...

"I-It's so delicious!"

"Thank you, Atsui."

"Did you never eat yellow rice?"

"Never, Ringo. I just ate this yellow rice for the first time."

"Wah .., what a coincidence today I cooked yellow rice."

"Yes, Aunt."

"Jude, eat again. If less, add more."

"Thank you, Auntie."

Nyam, Nyam ...

Atsui then ate yellow rice again with side dishes that had been cooked by Mother Ringo.

"Ringo, your father why don't you go home?"

"You don't understand that yet? Let me explain. My father's name is Amai Key, he is the King's Right Hand. He now works at the Royal Palace and I don't know when my father will be home. Just like you, I've never seen my father, either, from the time I was born until now."

"Now I understand. So, that empty seat for your dad to sit on when he gets home?"

"Yes, right."

After hearing Ringo's explanation, Atsui continued his meal.

Nyam, Nyam ...

"Atsui, when you walked earlier, why did you limp? Are your legs hurt?"

"Yes, Aunt. When we got out of the bakery, my leg suddenly sprained. So, from there I carried Ringo to here. Sorry to bother Auntie's son."

"It's okay. But, does your left leg still hurt?"

"Yes, Aunt."

"Yaudah, I'll massage your feet."

"Don't, Auntie."

"Why? Do you want you to walk around forever?"

"T-No."

"Mother, she's actually scared. Because, when his legs are massaged, it will hurt. So, he's scared."

"Not, no, not like that. Ringo, you're ...."

Mother, and Suika laughed because they knew that Atsui was afraid of being massaged. "Mahaha ...."

"A big man is afraid of being massaged." Suika.

"Not so."

Atsui was embarrassed and had to accept Ringo's mother's offer, even though she was afraid. "Well, I'll prove that I'm not afraid. I accept Auntie's offer."

"OKAY. Yaudah, please continue eating."

While everyone was eating, Atsui started telling a funny story. Until it makes them laugh. "Mahaha ...."

Ringo was the first to feel a happy atmosphere at the dinner table. W-What feeling is this? I-I was just the first time, laughing happily like this. Mother and Suika also seemed to be pleased with Atsui's presence.
