Inside the booth, Chiharu was now in front followed by Cobra and the rest of the group. Seira was seeing off the customers that were before them, her back was turned on them. Cobra's eyes caught on to the red spider flowers and white lilies in her hair, causing him to wrinkle his brows slightly. 'How unusual choice of flowers.' he thought to himself. "How long were you planning to keep from me that you were back!?" Chiharu stated in a strong tone, clearly displaying displeasure and sulkiness as he folded his arms. Seria froze in her place when she heard Chiharu's booming voice as she cautiously turned to face him. All of them looked at Seira wide-eyed. Seira had one of the most beautiful looks one had ever seen, even to Naomi she appeared surreal. The sunshine beaming on half of her face made her brilliant pale green eyes shine like a precious stone. The very pale green eyes held a strong yet warm gaze. There was a subtle rosy glow around her cheeks. The way she stood there exuded a powerful yet refreshing aura that drew people's attention. It was almost as if she had stepped right out of a manhwa or manga. Chiharu's heart was flooded with extreme happiness as he saw her up close, while a rollercoaster of feelings surged through him. It was almost like a dream. It had been a long time since the two had been face to face like this. It was almost like a dream. He yearned for his dream to become a reality, and here he was standing in front of it. "Hello to you too, Chi." Seira said affectionately as she looked at her younger cousin. Seira spread her arms wide as Chiharu looked at her, his heart melting and tears welling up in his eyes. With hurried steps, nearly pouting like a baby, and tears in his eyes, he rushes to hug her, almost falling down in the process. "I missed you Nee-chan!" Chiharu yelled, causing Seria to wince, but she smiled as she patted his back. "I missed you too Chi." Seria says warmly as she hugs him tightly. "Oh my! You really have grown tall huh! You weren't lying when you told Kiyoto you were almost as tall as him." Seira said in a playful tone as they remained in an embrace." Kiyato-nii told you? Tsk, you've seen it now, right? You should tell Kiyato-nii that I was saying the truth!" Chiharu said in a childish overly happy tone making Seira burst into heartly laughter. Chiharu too couldn't help but let giggles out. Cobra and others who were watching them looked at the two with fond smiles. "Now that you are here I am not letting you out of my sight at all!" Chiharu said releasing his grip as he smiled brightly at his nee-san. "Fine but I will kick you out in a few days anyway!" Seira said in a teasing tone making Chiharu wine. Chiharu acting like a child amused Cobra and the others because Chiharu normally had a quiet and reserved personality following the whole ordeal with Oya High. He had opened up tremendously once everything was settled, but seeing him this way, especially with his only remaining family, was a first for all of them. His true childish side was more evident than ever and this was making them see their youngest even more fondly.

" Ah, Damien has sent you something. When you come home I'll give it to you." Seira said smiling as she gently patted Chiharu's head. " Brother-in-law really sends me too many things! And all of them are too expensive!" Chiharu said, half-whining, half-thrilled. "Gifting is his love language. Also, Ziven wanted me to tell you that he misses you and wants to you to take him to explore around when he comes here." Seira said smiling. Ziven had heard Kiyato and Seira tell him stories that Grandpa used to tell them which made him very curious about SWORD city. "Of course, I am his uncle, I'll definitely take him around! I can't wait to see all three of them!" Chiharu exclaimed, a wide happy smile on his face. "Introduce me to your friends so I can start painting for you all!" Seira said tapping Chiharu's arm that was around her neck looking at the group in front of her giving them a huge smile. "Yes! This is Naomi-san, Yamoto-san, Dan-san, Tetsu, and Cobra-san, the leader of Sannoh Squad." Chiharu introduced them as Seira exchanged handshakes with them. "I am Seira, Chiharu's second eldest cousin. Nice to meet you all!" Seira said smiling serenely as she gave them a bow; in return, they also gave her one. "Let's get this painting started, shall we?" she exclaimed enthusiastically as they nodded. Seira exuded a very welcoming aura that made everyone feel comfortable, even though it was their first meeting."I don't mean to be noisy but are you two couples?" Seira asked sweetly looking at Yamato and Naomi who felt a blush creep on them as they nodded. Seira's smile widened when she saw them blushing. "Then I'd like to have you both sit in the centre, with the rest of you standing around them. Is that okay with the rest of you?" Seira asked politely as her eyes looked at the rest and locked with Cobra. Never in his life he had been this intrigued by women. Not in a romantic sense. He couldn't help but try to read the woman in front of him. And no matter how hard he tried, he could sense something heavy lingering around her. "Earth to Cobra-san!" Dan's voice broke him out of the trance as he looked that everyone was looking at him. "Yeah, we don't mind at all." Cobra said with a small smile as they all took their seat and Dan handed her the coupon. Seira looked at it as she started to sketch after reconfirming their choice for the portrait. "How have you been doing Chi these days?" Seira questioned, smiling as she continued to draw."I'm doing quite well, Nee-chan. Living in Hope Hill Complex wasn't easy, but it was okay. After mother passed away and with the money I saved and you three sent every month I managed to get a good apartment in Sannoh."Chiharu said with a soft smile. Seira found out about her aunt's death three days later because she had been out of touch while she was in Ilulissat, Greenland.
