█▄█ —Be careful Hikari-sama.— Reiko said to Hikari, while looking around for something to wipe the spilled tea

╣♦╠ —Oh-oh... S-sure, let him in. A-after all he maybe came to check for his daughter, r-right?— Keita commented and he also approached to the kotatsu, sitting and taking the tea cup as if nothing would have happened.

█▄█ « Hanzo-sama probably came for us! I wonder how did he know we would be there? » Reiko thought, trying to shake off the thoughts of Keita's feet that were taking her mind just a moment ago

╣♦╠ They could hear the steps of the miko going away for a moment, heading to the main hall of the temple.
Keita took a short sip to the tea cup. —U-uhm.. A-anyways, I-I'm glad you two are so l-lively despite yesterday's crazy night.—

█▄█ —Y-yeah... feel free to ask if you need some relaxing headpats again... or foot pampering...—Reiko said a bit nervously before taking another sip of her tea

╣♦╠ Keita giggled nervously, he was still blushing, probably because all of this situation was a bit unexpectedly enjoyable for the inugami after all. —W-will have it in mind— he replied to Reiko. The steps came closer and the sliding door opened.

Hanzo Yamamoto, the current leader of the clan was seemingly still in one piece after the night's events. The man of white long hair was still keeping his never-fall smile. He was wearing different clothes than the ones he usually wears when at the clan grounds, it was an onmyouji set with a few golden lines around the sleeves.
The man of the always closed eyes turned his head slightly towards the group. —Oh, I see that Keita-sama's energy is still so beautiful and pleasant like always, even though shortened.— Hanzo commented and went inside, followed by Shizuka whom closed the door.
—O-otou-sama, I'm glad to see that you are okay— Hikari quickly greeted him.

█▄█ —Hanzo-sama, it's good to see you in good health!— Reiko said bowing, going into her serious servant mode, hoping the blush from earlier situation was already gone from her face

╣♦╠ —H-hanzo-san, welcome to the temple! D-do you want some tea as well?— Keita commented but Hanzo raised a hand slowly. —I'm sorry but I'll have to pass on that for now, Keita-sama.— Hanzo approached to the kotatsu and sat in the free spot, having Keita in front, Reiko and Hikari to the sides.
The always calm man of the three slim vertical scars crossing his eyes and nose slowly turned his head towards his daughter. —Oh? Did something happen, Hikari? It is the first time I perceive your energy with such an overwhelming radiance. Even though most of us got our energy drained during that night. That's an impressive recovery.—
Hikari tilted her head slightly confused: —I-is that so? I-I don't know much about these things, otou-sama.—

█▄█ « It would be awkward to tell Hanzo-sama that his daughter seems to have Joy type soul... and her energy raises whenever she is at someone's feet... » Reiko thought, seeing how the situation of Hikari's energy seemed to repeat just like it did yesterday

╣♦╠ Funnily enough, just while Reiko was thinking that, Keita rubbed the back of his head, uneasily and shy while Hanzo also commented something.
—Well, having in mind that your soul type is joy... You enjoyed a lot the birthday party tonight? Though, judging by your message I doubt so, hmm...—
—Eh... Is that so? Uhm... I don't understand much about those things! B-but I guess that not all the days I can be nicely talking with K-Keita-sama after all, hehe...— Hikari quickly commented, nervous.
Hanzo nodded while still smiling. —That makes sense after all.— Then he glanced at Reiko. —Thanks for taking care of Hikari, I hope nothing went wrong during the party?—
