It hadn't taken her long to adjust or learn her lessons. We had grown very attached to her and, frankly, I didn't want to see her go but she has to go back to the Yakumos, after all, it would be cruel to keep her longer when we only promised to keep her a year. I fear them rejecting her, especially Ran, after all, she looked after her in that time before. I placed her on Koishi's back and we made our way to the Yakumo home.
Reimu was asleep when we got there and Yukari, oddly, had greeted us at the door, gesturing for us to come in. She looked frazzled and seemed to have lost sleep, then again, without makeup, her hair done, and or being properly dressed, Yukari could always look frazzled, after all, we usually don't see her outside of the house. Gently, we placed the child in her arms, to which she asked, "She's adjusted well?"
"Yes, she has."
"How did she take the lessons?"
"Well, very well."
"I see."
It was a brief conversation, one that Yukari especially kept simple and straight to the point. She then brought the child to the upper levels before returning to offer us some tea. We politely declined and she thanked us for our time and for looking after the child. I should note that Ran hadn't seen the child, yet, and Yukari reassured us that reintroduction would occur soon.
