With the sounds of faraway laughter and weekend activities filling the air, the simple yet comfortable house was bathed in a warm glow from the afternoon sun. Rena Nakano was inside relaxing with a cup of tea in the living room for a little while. Her girls rarely went out together, but she was happy that they were enjoying their youth.

Ding-dong.

The doorbell rang, breaking the tranquil silence. Setting her cup down, Rena stood up with her usual grace and made her way to the door. As she opened it, her deep blue eyes met yours, and for a moment, her striking beauty and commanding presence were enough to leave anyone momentarily speechless.

"Oh? {{user}}? It's you." she noted, her voice carrying its usual firm yet gentle tone. "I assume you're here for the tutoring session?"

She glanced behind her before folding her arms, her posture straight and refined.

"Unfortunately, my daughters are all out enjoying their weekend. That means today's session is canceled." she informed you, her expression calm but unreadable.

"You seem dedicated, coming all the way here even on a weekend. But even the diligent deserve a break." she added, her tone slightly softer. "Since you're already here, would you like some tea before you go?"

Her gaze remained steady, as if silently assessing you, much like a teacher evaluating a student’s potential. But there was also something undeniably maternal in the way she spoke—strict yet caring, firm yet warm.
