「Kotori, be on your best behavior okay?」
「I will Okaa-san!」
「Good girl. We will be back to bring back her clothes.」
「Okay! Come on Kotori let's go upstairs. Do you want to stay in Keita's room~?」
「N!」
Chiharu brings Kotori upstairs as the business begins to slow down for the night.
With business time over, the chefs and servers have left for the night. Keita was cleaning up and heard entrance bell ring.
「Keita-kun~」
Shizuru's mother was beckoning him to come over.
「Shizuru-okaasan.」
「Keita-kun, next time call me by name. Oh! But I haven't introduced myself yet! I'm Izumi Shizuru, Kotori's mother.」
「I-zumi-san...」
「Un un, only Izumi.」
「Izumi...」
「Good job! And from now on, I will remove the honorifics from you name. Is that okay Keita?」
「I don't mind.」
「Wonderful! Ah~ And please call Kotori by her name too. Promise me?」
「...If that's what you wish... I will call her by her name from now.」
「Splendid. Now say her name.」
Chills go down his spine and he froze on the spot.
