Meeting

A few days later, the new family had gotten settled into a temporary home that they've chosen for the time being. Ibara and Haruto showed their adopted daughter, Mihiru around. "Well," Ibara said, "What do you all think?" "Well," the little girl, named Mihiru, said, "I like it, mommy."

Ibara chose to name the little girl Mihiru and by now, had grown close to her new parents Ibara and Haruto. "Are you happy now, my love?" Haruto asked Ibara. "Yes," Ibara answered, "Yes I am!"

"Even though we're not living here long," Haruto added in. "Yeah, that's true," Ibara replied, embarrassed. "But are you even more happier now that you got yourself a mother and a father?" Haruto asked Mihiru.

"Yes!" the little girl answered, "Yes I am! Thank you!" Mihiru then jumped onto Haruto and hugged him. "I'll get used to this," Haruto said. "You will," Ibara said. Then Mihiru got off of Haruto and Ibara had an idea.

"Would you like to meet some of our friends?" Ibara asked Mihiru. "Sure, mom," Mihiru answered. "Well," Haruto said, getting up, "Then let's get going. Come along, Mihiru." "Sure," Mihiru said.

Soon, the new family arrived at their old school, which is actually a restricted school in an area that is off-limits to most humans. "This area," Ibara said, "Is where we lived for most of our life. Until we went on our big journey."

"Yes," Haruto agreed, "But 'let's not go into more details about that." "Right, Ibara replied as she and Haruto had agreed to not go into full detail yet, as they don't want Mihiru to know about the now toxic Tokyo city. Not at this moment. "Now there is one thing I would like to do," Haruto said.

"What's that?" Ibara asked. "Make sure the Ozu sisters don't harass her," Haruto explained. "Oh, right," Ibara replied, "There's that. We can't have Shion-" "Eh, don't say it," Haruto interrupted his wife.

"Point taken," Ibara said. Soon, the three walked onto the property. "Hello, everyone!" Ibara called out, "We have a visitor. A special visitor today who would like to meet you."

Soon, everyone who were on the school ground at the moment went out to meet the new family. "Hi," Mihiru said shyly. Everyone who was there at the time looked at the little girl who is now with Ibara and Haruto.

"Wow!" Aoi said out loud, running over to them and picking up Mihiru, "You'be adopted a fine girl! Yes, yes, yes!" "Is your friends always like this?" Mihiru asked, starting to feel dizzy. "Sometimes," Ibara answered, "Enough, Aoi. You're starting to make her feel sick."

"Sorry! Aoi said, letting Mihiru go. "Sorry," Ibara said. Then Taeko Nomura approached Mihiru. "Hi," Mihiru said. "Why hello, little one," Taeko said. "Hi," Mihiru said, "You're pretty nice. "Why thank you," Taeko said.

Then she turned to Ibara. "Ibara, do you think she'll be friends with the animals?" Takeo asked. "Well," Ibara said, "You're good with animals yourself. Maybe you can help our daughter with that."

"Ok," Taeko said, "Ill plan ahead for it." Soon, the Ozu sisters, Kanon and Shion walked up to the girl. "Hi," Mihiru said, "You." "Oh, we're the Ozu sisters," Shion said. "Right you are, sister," Kanon said. "What's with the gloves?" Mihiru asked Shion.

"Eh, you don't want to know," answered. "Yeah," Ibara agreed. "That's my sister," Shion said. "Luckily, they're in a good mood," Ibara said to Haruto. "Right," Haruto said, "And she seems to like them." They both saw Mihiru immediately making friends with both Kanon and Shion.

Soon, the vice principal, Onihei Mishima approached Mihiru. "That is one fine child you got there," Onihei said. "Thank you, vice principal," Haruto said. "Do you think so?" Ibuse asked. "I know so," Onihei said. Mihiru just smiled. "Yes," Haruto said. "Aw," Aoi exclaimed, "You've picked a cute one!"

"Well, you can go ahead say that," said Haruto. "Yeah, what my husband said," Ibara said. Soon enough, Mihiru was introduced to everyone else who was present there as well. "Right," Ibara said to Haruto. "What?" Haruto asked. "Nothing specific," Ibara answered.

By now, Ibara and Haruto had shown their new daughter to their friends and staff and Mihiru had a wonderful time. Soon, it was near the end of the day and thus, it was time for the family to leave the school grounds. Mihiru felt happy on that day.

"Mom, dad," Mihiru said. "Yes?" Ibara replied. "Thanks for everything," Mihiru said, "You've got many great friends. I'm happy for you." Ibara and Haruto just smiled. "Thank you," Haruto said, "For our child."
