Ose couldn't wait any longer. She wanted to know who was at the door with her daughter. She supported herself with a walking stick, and with her second hand on the wall, she found her way to the entrance of the shop where she met Chika speaking with the stranger.
The gentleman suddenly turned cold when Ose appeared. Chika noticed his frozen face but was rather interesting in reaching out to steady her mother, who had come to the door by herself.
"And who are you talking to, Chika?" Ose asked again. She seemed paranoid. It wasn't safe talking to any stranger, especially not in the city.
