The day has come for me to go to the Minami family to receive an apology from the old man, Amanashi's father and Amana's grandfather.
　It's really depressing.
　Isn't it strange that he apologized for feeling sorry for being lectured by his daughter, when he was so furious when they first encountered each other the day before yesterday that he was about to kill her?
　If it were true, though, it would only mean that that man has none of the dignity of a father and grandfather.

　I've bought some candy bars just in case.......but it's not even a comforting thought.

　Such an escape from reality as best I could, in vain, I came to room 184 of the Minami family's apartment building.
　My fingers feel heavy as I press the intercom from an unprecedented sense of urgency.
　I've never felt anything like this before.

　But if you don't push it, nothing will start.......so I decided to press the intercom with all my might.　

　I press the intercom.

"Yes, this is South.
'Oh, Amani?　I'm here as promised, but....
"Okay. Give me a moment.

　Not long after the light sound effect sounded, the door was opened after Amari responded.
　Her dark brown hair was tied up in a bun over her right shoulder, and she was dressed in an above the knee length dress with green leaves embroidered on a white base and navy blue denim, an outfit that, because of its simplicity, exposed her charm without hiding it.

　Those who see her in this outfit would never think that the person they are looking at is a woman with a child.
　The more you look at them, the more you are convinced of that, the more you admire Amari in her civilian clothes.

　
　It's too late now, but which of the two of them am I supposed to call that person based on?
　Honestly, no matter which one I call you, I can only see a future where you'll be as angry as you were the day before yesterday.

'Hayakawa-san?'
'Yeah, oh, sorry. It was the first time I've ever been in your house when Amari was there, and I was nervous.
"──Oh, just like when you looked at Tenna's homework, nothing has changed, so don't worry about it, please come in.

　The words I returned as quickly as I could, prompting Amari to speak strangely quickly.

''I see. Well, I'm sorry to bother you.''
Hi, welcome.

　And so, under her guidance, when I went to the living room of the South family, there is certainly no change in the position of the furniture from the time I interrupted her when I saw Amana and her friends' homework.

　─ ─ Except that there is an old man sitting on a chair at the dining room table with his arms crossed and a woman with a warm atmosphere with a smile on her face next to him.

　Waka.
　Quintessential Amanashi's mother, she must be at least past the age of alafore-but she doesn't look like she has any grandchildren?
　I can believe it when they say Alaska.

　And, after all, the intimidation that is directed at you by the old man is not so much.
　It doesn't look like I'm sorry at all.

　I'm concerned about many things, but I have to say hello first.　

It's nice to meet you. I'm Kazu Hayakawa. I was wondering if you would like to have this for your family to enjoy...
Oh, well, that's very polite of you.

　It's not the old man, who is obviously hostile to you, but the kind-looking mother of Amari, to whom you handed a package of sweets with your greetings.
　When you are relieved by the very soft-spoken response, the pressure seems to have increased for some reason.

　When I turned my head in fear, I found out that the person releasing the pressure was Amari's father.
　Most likely, it's a big mistake to think that you can bribe him with a small amount of candy bars.
　That's an outrageous accusation, and I chose fruit jellies for Amana-chan to enjoy.

　What in the world do you mean by that, Amari-san?

''I'm Mayumi Minami, Amari's mother, Mayumi. See, you too.
This is Kohei Minami.
Hi, how are you?

　Prompted by Amari's mother - Mayumi-san, her father - Watahira-san reluctantly said his name after his father - Watahira-san clicked his tongue.

''I'm sorry~?　He's just rooted in the fact that his daughter and grandson are angry at him~
Do you need to tell me that?
Your father will have to prepare his own dinner tonight.
!

　The bottom line is that he doesn't feel the slightest bit sorry and has no intention of apologizing.
　And because of that, he's self-destructing again.
　This was the moment I witnessed a scene where hatred produced nothing.

''I'm totally....sorry. My father's stubbornness has caused trouble for Hayakawa-san again........
'It's nothing for Tenri to apologize for.
Yeah, yeah, yeah!　You're out of here!
"You?
Oh, yes.

　I'm digging my grave again for overreacting to your words to Amanashi........
　Your current exchange has revealed Watei-san's low position in the South family.

　He smiles, deciding that there's no end to dealing with each and every one of them, and he doesn't care.

'It's more than annoying, it's just that the stubbornness is so similar that it makes me smile.
Wow, I'm not that stubborn.
No, no, you're just like the guy who can be tough for his kid, even if he's never met you before.
Ugh....

　I'm at a loss for words when confronted with the facts.
　Compared to that time, we're getting along surprisingly well, and if I could, I'd be able to get along with Watei-san - or maybe not.
　I'm just talking to Amari and she's staring at me with a level of willingness to kill me.

　I'm only 25 years old and I don't want to die.　

"Oh my goodness. You're so close~
Well, it's been good to me, that's for sure.
'Oh no, that's our line. It's not only Tenna who has helped me, but also me.
No, no, no, I'm the one who...
No, no, no, no. I'm the one who...
"Oh, my goodness, oh, my goodness~!

　Mayumi's voice trembles with even more glee as they are straining against each other in a stubborn way.
　It doesn't look like we're having a conversation that will get that kind of reaction... Watei-san's glare is getting stronger and stronger, so I guess I should cut it short.

''Um, it's like we're helping each other out like this.
'Oh, I see.'

　Even so, Mayumi does not stop looking at me with a smile on her face.
　I can't help but feel like I'm being misled, but I think it's a waste of time to try to talk to her.

　However, the reason I came here today was because Watohira-san was going to apologize, so when in the world are we going to get down to business?
　Since it turned out that the person in question had no intention of apologizing, it seemed that there was no point in coming.

　Well, then, I was thinking that there was no need to be too long, when the living room door was slowly opened.

''Ah!　Onii!
Amana-chan!

　The one who came over was Amana-chan, dressed in a cool light blue camisole with a rabbit printed on the chest and a pink and white heart-patterned frilled skirt, a very pretty outfit again today.

　As soon as I saw her, I couldn't help but smile and think, "Oh, I might have to stay here for a while.
