It was just past nine in the evening, not quite ten, and the streets of Asahikawa City were already seeing fewer pedestrians and vehicles, far less bustling than Sapporo.
Although it was his second visit, Aoyama Xiu Xin couldn't claim to be familiar with the city.
Because his last visit had also been rushed.
He pulled his gaze back from the window, closed it, and turned to the serene Miyashita Ryouko beside him, "Ryouko, did your sister-in-law not say exactly what it was about? Why must she have you come out so late at night?"
"No," Miyashita Ryouko shook her head, then added, "I didn't have time to ask."
After all, she had been busy when she answered the phone.
She had wanted to hang up quickly, not minding anything else.
"Surely it must be something serious, I probably shouldn't go in as an outsider," Aoyama Xiu Xin pondered silently, then shook his head.
Miyashita Ryouko thought that was appropriate, so she didn't insist, "Then you wait in the car for me."
