After school as Daichi opened the door he heard laughter from the kitchen and one was from his mother Umi, but the other was not of his neighbor, who has recently married his mother but by a girl. "Who's laughing there, a girl, in my house?" wondered Daichi and came in. "You are already here, how was school?" asked him, "his father". Then his mother also noticed him and greeted him and introduced the pretty girl beside her. The girl smiled and said: "Hi, I'm Akane Nakamori I am your neighbors from now on. Pleased to meet you ..." "Oh, hello. My name is Daichi " said Daichi. Akane helped Umi to cover the table. "Then I'm off," she wanted to leave. "Stay for lunch?" asked Umi. "I would love to stay, but my brother is coming home soon and that's why it would be better if I go back, otherwise he shouts at me, but maybe I'll come another time," she said. "Oh, your brother does not know you're here, you said right?, But next time you should also bring him and clarify everything with him. You know what I mean," said Umi. They said goodbye and then she walked out the door and Umi looked after her, but not only Umi but Daichi's eyes also followed Akane as she leaves his house. His parents have noticed that, "Is it love at first sight?" asked "his father". "I do not mind to have Akane-chan as my daughter-in-law," Umi said. "There is nothing as you think," Daichi replied. During the lunch Daichi's mother spoke only about Akane, that their parents died in an accident and she and her brother have stayed by their strict aunt and uncle until yesterday they moved away and live in these apartment from now. "Apparently, Umi seems to like the girl ," thinks Daichi .
