While eating, Ayanokoji Kiyotaka suddenly received a call from the Steinway flagship store.
The piano store manager told Ayanokoji Kiyotaka that the piano was already packaged and could be installed for him this afternoon, hoping to set a specific time with him.
It was a good thing she called now; if it had been a few hours earlier, the call might not have gone through.
After setting the time, Ayanokoji Kiyotaka hung up the phone.
He had no intention of loitering outside anyway; what if he wandered around a bit longer and was mistaken for his older brother and kidnapped again?
Having been kidnapped once, he had already prepared measures to deal with kidnapping, but he didn't want the girls around him to get involved again, so this call came at just the right time.
Thus, after the meal, he told the two that he would be returning to school next.
Although Ikishima Midari didn't care about her father's instructions, whether they were outside or inside the school didn't matter, since Ayanokoji Kiyotaka wanted to go back, she had no objection.
Ririka was a little disappointed, not expecting Ayanokoji Kiyotaka to return to school after only half a day; she had wanted to spend more time with Ayanokoji.
However, she could also understand; Ayanokoji Kiyotaka had shown symptoms of discomfort earlier, so it was perfectly fine for him to return to school to rest.
The regrettable thing was that her current identity as "Anna Kinomiya" didn't have a dorm room booked at the school, and on Sunday, there was no reason at all to return to school with the two of them.
She couldn't just open a room at the school hotel on the fly, could she? How would she find an excuse...?
Oh, right... the dorm!
Ririka's eyes lit up.
She suddenly remembered that Meari had said the day before yesterday that she would be moving her belongings to school over the weekend and would be living in the dorms from then on.
She had even invited her to dinner on Saturday night to celebrate her move.
At the time, Ririka felt she couldn't stay at school on Saturday night, so she politely declined her invitation.
But now, it was a good opportunity...!
Ririka intentionally acted as if she had just remembered, bringing the conversation to Meari.
"Oh, Meari told me she's moving into the school dorms starting tonight. Ayanokoji, did Meari tell you about this? She also said she's having a housewarming celebration tonight and treating everyone to dinner."
Ayanokoji Kiyotaka remembered at Ririka's reminder; Meari had mentioned this yesterday when they were chatting at her house.
Originally, he had volunteered to help Meari move, but she said she didn't have many things and firmly refused him.
However, she hadn't mentioned anything about treating people to dinner.
"Meari did tell me she was moving, but she didn't invite me to dinner, which is really heartbreaking..." Ayanokoji Kiyotaka joked intentionally.
Ririka gave a wry smile and said tactfully, "Perhaps Meari didn't want to trouble you, after all... you just went through something like that."
In fact, Meari had indeed wanted to invite Ayanokoji Kiyotaka yesterday, but she couldn't find a suitable moment to speak, and then her attention was diverted by the Amusement Park "date" in the evening, so she thought she would talk about it later that night.
As a result, she didn't wait for Ayanokoji; instead, she received the "bad news" that Ayanokoji's brother had been kidnapped, and she was worried about him all night, so she had no mind to bring up the matter again.
Meari is moving... This was a reminder for Ayanokoji.
