A little later that morning, Ken finally got some alone time on the train to have a serious discussion with his new ally Mika. While her updates were helpful while he was training, having her interrupt during everyday conversations was not.
Her monotonous voice ringing in his mind felt as if a satellite navigation unit was talking to him while driving.
'Mika… Can you please save your updates for when I'm alone, unless it's important.'
[Understood]
He wasn't quite sure, but it felt as if there was a hint of annoyance in her tone.
Ken shook his head thinking that he might have just been imagining things.

The next few days went by in a blur. Before he could fully enjoy his time with Daichi, they had to send him off back to Osaka, much to their dismay.
While it was only short, having everyone back at home for 2 days was enough to put the family at ease. Yuki was probably the most upset that Daichi had to return to Osaka, packing him a large bento to take with him.
