"Ten-nii!, Tousan!" Soramaru called out to his brother and father, catching them just before they went passed the Kumo shrine gates. "Let me go today, please."
Taiko bent down on knee and ruffled Soramaru's hair. "Sorry sport. You have to stay here and protect Mommy, while we are gone. Do you think you can do that for me?"
Soramaru looked at his dad and smiled as he nodded his head. "Alright dad." Soramaru said before waving his brother and dad off as they left the Kumoh grounds.
Soramaru ran back into the house before running around looking for his mother, who he found was in the bedroom getting Chutaro bundled up.
"Mom, are we going out today?" Soramaru said running over to where his mother was sitting.
"Yes, my little protector. We have to get ingredients for dinner." Koyuki told her son.
"Ohhh what is it for dinner?" Sora asked.
"Hmmmmm….." Koyuki said, looking at her son with a knowing smile. "I will give you a hint, it is your father's and Tenka's favorite dish."
"Curry?!" Soramaru asked, looking at his mom expectantly.
"You guessed right." Koyuki said as she kissed her son on the top of his head. "Now go put on your coat and we can head out."
