Inside a narrow alley in Sixth Street.
Four people wearing uniform H.S.O.S 6 outfits gathered here.
These people were Yanagi, Soukakku, Harumasa, and Hoshimi Miyabi.
"It seems taking a detour beforehand was the right choice, Section Chief."
"The person you're looking for is in that Video Store. Do you want to go over now?"
Harumasa asked. It was a good thing they had taken a detour; otherwise, they might not have witnessed this scene.
"...No."
"Knowing her address now is already quite good."
"I want to see how things are going on my father's side first."
"When the time comes, I'll have my father accompany me to reunite with my younger sister."
Hoshimi Miyabi said silently. After all, their first meeting had been somewhat unpleasant.
But it didn't matter. Once her father found her sister's mother, their relationship should ease up significantly.
"Mhm, let's listen to the Section Chief."
"After all, it's the Section Chief's family matter, so it's not our place to interfere too much."
Yanagi adjusted her glasses and pondered.
Meanwhile, Soukakku stroked his chin while listening to their conversation. Not quite understanding, he decided to just listen and wait until they returned to ask Sister Ryu for a detailed explanation.
"True. Speaking of which, driving just now really wore me out."
"I definitely need to get some good rest when we get back."
Harumasa said as he stretched.
Then, the group returned the way they came. Harumasa first dropped off Hoshimi Miyabi, then Soukakku and Yanagi home, and finally returned the car.
...
Hoshimi Family.
Inside the study.
"So much time has passed; has the person been found?"
Soichiro asked the subordinate in front of him. These past few days, he had been investigating news regarding Hoshimi Aya's mother.
"My apologies, Family Head!"
"We've searched all the records and all the women you've met, Family Head, but we haven't found anyone who fits the criteria."
The subordinate reported the results of the search over the past few days.
Soichiro frowned upon hearing this.
"That's impossible. Go search again!"
"My daughter is a grown person; she couldn't have just popped out of nowhere, right?!"
"I'll give you three more days. I want to hear different news!"
Soichiro said, pointing toward the door to signal the subordinate to go out and search again.
At the moment the subordinate opened the door, Hoshimi Miyabi happened to walk in, and the two brushed past each other.
Seeing that Hoshimi Miyabi had returned, Soichiro's originally angry face immediately broke into a smile.
"Oh, Mi-chan is back."
"How was it? Did you have fun on this mission?"
Soichiro walked over to Hoshimi Miyabi's side and laughed.
"Mhm, I've already found my sister's address."
"Father, I want you to go with me tomorrow."
"And while we're at it, tell me more about her mother."
Hoshimi Miyabi said while looking at Soichiro.
Upon hearing Hoshimi Miyabi's words, the smile on Soichiro's face instantly froze.
How was he supposed to explain this?!
He had absolutely no clue about Hoshimi Aya's mother right now, so how could they talk about it?
There wasn't even a single bit of news about the person.
"Um, Mi-chan, how about Father accompanies you in a few days instead?"
"I've been quite busy lately and can't really get away."
Soichiro made excuses, feeling a bit ashamed at the same time.
Since there was no news about Hoshimi Aya's mother yet, how could he go with her?
When she asked about her mother then, how would he be able to answer?!
"Cancel it!"
"Father, you must go with me tomorrow."
"As for tomorrow's schedule, cancel all of it!"
"Or does Father think tomorrow's schedule is more important than reuniting with my sister?!"
Hoshimi Miyabi looked at her father questioningly.
Seeing his daughter's gaze, Soichiro could only bite the bullet and agree.
Inwardly, he hoped that his bunch of good-for-nothing subordinates could find his other daughter's mother tonight.
He truly had no memory of Hoshimi Aya's mother, so he could only rely on his subordinates to find her.
Seeing her father agree, Hoshimi Miyabi nodded in satisfaction. To be honest, she was looking forward to the scene of their reunion tomorrow.
