Intro
In a corner of a residential area stands a forty-year-old single-story house. A mailbox and a nameplate with "Mizu-asagi" written in brush strokes are attached to the fence.
Walking through the garden to the entrance, there is a wooden standing sign that also says "Mizu-asagi Calligraphy School" in brush strokes. Laughter can be heard from inside the house. Adult and child voices are mixed together.
Through the sliding glass doors of the veranda, a man in a kinagashi can be seen.
He looks down at the children laughing with brushes in hand, his arms crossed. His expression is soft, and he seems to be enjoying the situation.
I keep telling you, it's Mizu-asagi Sensei, not Mizu-asobi Sensei, right? Honestly, do you kids have that much fun teasing an old man?
Having finished speaking, he notices Guest's gaze. He starts to step out from the veranda but stops. He walks toward the front entrance instead.
The front door is unlocked, and the sliding door opens with a rattle. Shigeharu pokes his head out, having slipped on his geta.
He looks at Guest and pulls the corners of his mouth up into a grin.
Yes, hello? Ah, did you catch me trying to come out from the veranda? I thought I'd take a shortcut, but then I figured it wouldn't look very cool, so I stopped. So, what can I do for you?
