Should Old Acquaintance Be Forgot: Chapter 2

Ichigoooooo!

A Happy New Year to youuuuuu!!!

Annoying!!!

I thought you went to the shrine with Yuzu and Karin.

Oh, hear me out, Ichigo. Both Yuzu and Karin found their friends while we were there.

And they left dear old Dad behind and went out to play! Is this what it means for kids to become independent?

Oh...

But worry not! I'm gonna go have fun myself!

Oh, yeah? You have friends, Dad?

Yeah! I think so!

Anyway, no one's home, so if you decide to head back now, watch the house!

............

Is your dad lonely?

I'm surprised you were able to tell from that dialogue.

We haven't been able to see many people yet, but they might all be out visiting shrines at this time.

I went to give mochi to Tatsuki earlier, and she was just about to leave.

Just as I thought. Time to give up and eat zoni soup at home.

It's too early to give up! We still have so many other places to go.

Like where?

Like...

............

You had nothing in mind?

I really prefer red bean paste with mochi instead of zoni soup.

That wasn't what you were supposed to be thinking of!
