As Katashi went upstairs and Saira went to bed early, Katashi's parents were chit chatting with Oliver.
•Taiyo: "Usagi-Chan, would please inform Saira-Chan about our trip with your Uncle's family tomorrow?"
•Usagi: "Oh, ok~"
Taiyo wanted to talk about Saira's father, therefore he made Usagi leave.
After Usagi went upstairs, he asked Oliver about Masahiro and how he was doing.

Usagi went upstairs to tell Saira about the trip. When she knocked on Saira's room door she did not get any answer because Saira has already fallen asleep. When she tried to knock again, Katashi told Usagi to tell her in the morning because anyway, they all will start packing tomorrow and they are going there by the afternoon, therefore there is time.

Usagi agreed and so she went back to her room, and when Katashi was about to close the door, Usagi appeared suddenly in front of his room.
•Usagi: "Onii-chan... Did something happen today? Why did Saira-Chan go to bed early?" asked Usagi curiously.
•Katashi: "... I don't know just ask her when she wakes up."
•Usagi: "OK"
Katashi quickly closed the door before Usagi ask any other question. Katashi did not want to answer on behalf of Saira, he did not have the right to. He also did not know what's going on with Saira and what is she thinking. He only thought that if Saira wanted to tell Usagi, then she would.

The next morning, Saira woke up, and Oliver has gone back last night. The couple has invited him to go with them on the trip but he has refused. He had other work to do and after that, he had to go back immediately.
Saira woke up at 5 AM. As always she was the first to wake up. She did her routine and cooked breakfast for everyone. After she was done, everyone started to wake up to prepare for the trip and as she was informed by the couples about the 2days and one-night trip, Saira started to get ready for it.

Masahiro was going too, or he was forced to go. His uncle called him and made him promise to come on the trip.
"You should give yourself a little break, the world and the books won't vanish if you relaxed a little bit. Working hard is good but so is relaxing. If you are not coming, believe me, or not this uncle if yours would make things harder for you." nagged Daichi.

After everyone was ready, everyone got into the car.
Everyone chatted, eat some snacks, took photos, and played games in the car. For Saira, it was a new experience. She never had the chance to do this kind of activity. She felt excited and laughed a lot for the first time.

After 2 hours in the car, they arrived at the location. When they arrived, Daichi and his family were already there in the family vacation mansion. They welcomed the Kobayashi family happily. Daichi walked towards Saira and introduced her to his family.
•Daichi: " Saira-chan! I'm happy that you are here! Come here my dear, let me introduce you to my family." said while smiling brightly.
Daichi introduced Saira to his four eldest sons, their wife, and kids.
Saira was surprised that Daichi had grandchildren because of his young appearance. " If you did not tell me, I wouldn't have known. You look so young for a grandfather." Saira said astonishingly. Daichi laughed loudly because he felt pleased to be called young. " And because of that, I get stressed. I'm afraid that young and beautiful doctors and nurses would flirt with him." Said Daichi's wife worriedly.
"Come on honey~ I only have you in my heart." Said Daichi with a wink.
"Oh my God! Dad, please flirt in your room. It's so embarrassing!" Said his fifth son, Kaori who just came into the living room helping Yoshinori and Katashi bringing up the things into the mansion.
"Haha, sorry sorry. But there is no shame in flirting with your mother. That's how you came anyway~" said Daichi with a smirk.
As Kaori's face became red, everyone laughed, and Daichi got scolded by Tadame for talking like that in front of the minors.

Kaori then looked at Saira who was smiling.
" Nice to meet you I'm Kaori," said Kaori while facing Saira. "Ah! I'm Saira Aoki, it's my pleasure to meet you," said Saira while bowing politely.
Kaori stared at Saira's face for a long time.
" I... Is something wrong?" Said confused Saira.
"Ah, nothing... Hope you enjoy your time with us. Please make yourself comfortable." said Kaori calmly.
"Mmm, I will. Thank you." Said Saira with a gentle smile.

Kaori nodded his head calmly and went to continue helping Yoshinori and Katashi.
"Saira-Chan, Saira-Chan, let's share the same room. After all, if you go on a trip sharing a room is a must," said Usagi excitedly.
"Usagi-Chan, let Saira decide, my dear," said Tadame.
" It's ok, aunty. I would like to share the room with Usagi here." Said Saira while smiling.
"If Usagi is annoying you please do tell me, I will kick her out of the room for you right away." Said Taiyo.
"Dad!!!" said pouting Usagi.
Everyone started to laugh and teases Usagi.
The living room was filled with laughter and funny stories.

After a while, everyone was getting ready to prepare a BBQ party at the terrace that faced the beach. They laughed, ate, nostalgized, and told new stories. The atmosphere was so good, warm, and fun. However, while everyone was laughing, Saira wondered how the day would be if she had the chance to go on a trip like this with her parents.
"I wonder... If it would be fun like this..." wondered Saira in her inner self. Though Saira was happy at this moment, she couldn't help but to wonder and miss her parents.
While everyone was talking, Saira sneaked out inside the mansion. She held her Phone hesitantly. Saira then tried to call her mother, but she did not answer.
"... What did you expect... Saira..." Said Saira disappointed.
<ring ring, Oliver called Saira>
Saira answered the call.
"Saira, I'm at the airport on my way back. I called because I wanted to tell you... No matter what happens, and no matter what you think of us, we are always beside you... That's it. Oh! I have to go now, take care of yourself." Said Oliver and hanged up.
Saira held her phone silently. ".... What was that... Don't say this to me now...an make me the bad girl here..." said Saira with a trembling low voice.
While Saira was inside the mansion turning her back, Kaori stared at Saira silently.
