Kazuha's POV. Takahashi Residence. 16 years after the wedding.
It's been 16 years since Itsuki and I got married.
It's currently the summer festival and we are going to visit the shrine first.
A young girl with white hair and blue eyes, wearing a beautifully woven kimono asked me.

???: Dad, Mom. I'm ready to go!
Itsuki: Waaaaaah! Ayaka! You're so pretty!
Ayaka: Hehe. Of course! My mom is also beautiful and I got my beautiful hair from my Dad!
Kazuha: And you got your mother's eyes.
My daughter, Ayaka, is just as beautiful as her mother.
When Ayaka was born, Ichika, Nino, Miku and Yotsuba wanted to spoil Ayaka........
Well, Yotsuba can't even spoil her son, Raijin, Ayaka's older cousin, due to Fuutarou being somehow strict.
Then there is her Aunt Akane. Ayaka was fascinated by my twin sister's stories to the point that she promoted one of Akane's works and it became super popular because of Ayaka.
Itsuki: Come to think of it Kazuha, weren't you also popular during our high school days?
Kazuha: Correction, infamous.
Ayaka: Really?
Kazuha: Ah haha, well, me, Akane and your Uncle Fuutarou, are just a bunch of lonely people back then.
Ayaka: Hmmm, it's also been a while since I last saw Uncle Fuutarou.
Kazuha: He's busy with his work.
Ayaka: So, Mom, Dad! Tell me about your stories with Uncle Fuutarou, Aunt Akane and Mom's sisters?
Itsuki: Hmmm.......I guess we'll talk about it on our way to the venue?
Ayaka: Yeah!
While on our way to the venue.
Ayaka: Really? So back then.........?
Kazuha: Yep. It was really hard for us.
Itsuki: And that is where the dream of your Aunt Ichika began.
Ayaka: W-Well.......when she visited me during the school festival last year.........
