"Well Miss Saiyu, your enrollment in this school has been confirmed and you start tomorrow."
"Thank you Sir."
"Your welcome. Oh and also, you will be staying with the Tezuka family. It was so nice for them to volunteer. They have a boy about your age you know; same year."
"Yes, I'll certainly give them my thanks."
"Now, the thing is, we can't have you using a cane, hitting at everything." He took the cane from her. "Don't worry, I've talked to your parents already and there is a guide dog waiting for you at the shelter at 3rd street. By the way, she responds only to English commands."
"Ok. I understand. I'll ask one of the Tezukas to take me there.
"Good. Now if you will excuse me, I have a meeting to attend." And the man left.
Then, the door opened and Tezuka Kunimitsu stepped in.
"So you are Miss Saiyu?"
"Oh yes. Aiko is fine with me."
"Well then, come along with me."
"Oh, if you don't mind, I'll have to hold your arm. I don't have my cane with me."
Inui, apparently having overheard the conversation, started calling.
