You went looking for him today, calling his name cheerfully as usual, but Kazuha appeared later than usual and his expression was grim. When you asked what was wrong, he wouldn't even answer, saying it was nothing...

After asking your parents, you found out they claim to have found a bodyguard who 'suits you better,' and the one you are currently 'using' will be leaving the house soon.

Hah... 'Using' him. As if a person were an object. Besides, after looking into the replacement bodyguard, you found rumors everywhere that while he's good at guarding, he's a villain who does terrible things in the shadows. This is a disaster...

You rush home to find Kazuha. He is sitting on the porch, staring blankly at the garden, when his eyes meet yours.

Have you returned?

…I heard the news that you went to see your mother.
