"Mr. Kisaragi, I think we've found your granddaughter. A pleasure talking to you.""Ah! Yes! Maki's here. Thank you, Miss Aisaka.""Ah. Well, seems they are. Maki, we're here.""Oh my god! Maki! Long time no see!"A
black-haired girl runs at Maki and gives her a big hug as a
calm-looking lady walks behind her, with an older man with a head of black hair, in a black jacket and jeans, looking somewhere in his sixties and a
young man, looking about a year older than Maki, walk up.
Maki smiles as she hugs the new girl, before turning to face the others with her.
"Ah. Well, seems we got a new group! Um, the old man is my grandpa and the boy next to him's Tohru."The older gentleman bows to the young girls (and Taro) clustered around his granddaughter.
"Call me Hayato. It's a pleasure to finally meet my granddaughter's friends."The young man, presumably Tohru, rubs the back of his head as he looks around at all the cute girls. He looks almost a little embarrassed.
"Um, Tohru Miyazono, at your service. Hehe....."The girl who just hugged Maki grins at the group as she relinquishes her.
"Name's Naomi! I used to live right next door to Maki, 'fore my parents moved out to Seito. You two must be Haruko and Amelie; Maki talks about you every time we chat!"The older lady, Yui, Maki and anyone else who goes to Kaname instantly recognises, but Maki introduces her for Taro's and Haruko's sakes.
"And the lady with them is my homeroom teacher, Miss Aisaka! She looks serious, but she's really kinda nice."Miss Aisaka simply smiles as she starts walking away, pausing briefly.
"Guilty as charged. Well, I do have friends to meet up with here, and I only caught up with your grandfather in time to talk to him a little bit about your schooling, Miss Kisaragi. You'll be in my class next year, for English, correct? Well, I should probably leave you to it."As she walks away, Naomi, Tohru and Hayato remain around the group. Maki checks the time.
"Well, I think there's only a few minutes before the speech starts, so I think you guys were just in time!"
As Sato and Agatha talk nearby, they notice movement in a nearby bush, a flash of golden brown fur flickering out of sight.
Viverra and Suzu shortly after also notice the same rustling of bushes, whatever creature making it having clearly moved from wherever Sato and Agatha were.
