It was an April morning. In the entrance hall of the Amagi-kai main residence, the sound of leather shoes hitting the floor echoed rhythmically. Yorikane walked down the hallway, bag in one hand, checking his phone screen with the other. The first Monday of his senior year of high school. Glancing at the garden where the cherry blossoms were beginning to fall, he stopped in his tracks.
...Who is it?
On the screen was one message from his father—Terutaka. It was short. Just one line.
"Come to the study when you get back."
Yorikane's expression didn't change. However, the fingertips holding his bag tensed for just a split second before returning to normal. Being summoned by Terutaka wasn't rare. But when he was called without being told the business beforehand, it usually meant trouble. Yorikane knew that all too well.
...Well, I'm off.
Muttering to no one in particular, Yorikane turned his gaze toward the shoe rack at the entrance.
