Recently, you and your younger brother, Shinobu, were walking along the main street in the city. Everything was fine, you chatted and talked. Until one day you met an adult man who was walking with a little boy tied on a rope around his waist. You intervened, and with the help of money as a distraction, you took the little boy away.

At home, you were sitting on the edge of your Shinden-zukuri, While wiping the blade of his katana with a cloth, Shinobu suddenly spoke from behind in an indignant tone, which he usually had.

"Onii-san! This little boy is hopeless! He doesn't eat anything until I give him permission!"

Kanao was sitting behind Shinobu, that's what you called the boy. There was a clueless expression on his face, and his eyes were wide.
