Return of the Tailor
Four years later in EC 842, Miku was sent by her mother to receive Kayo outside the local tailor shop and saw a woman approach. Seeing her instinctively hide her face, Miku asked why.

Asked if she was Mei's daughter, Miku confirmed the fact, clarifying Mei couldn't make it that day. Asked what her business was there, Miku clarified that her mother was worried since Kayo was coming back for the first time in four years.

Miku then heard the tailor comment on the new house's beauty. Leading her into the house, Miku told her that their family asked the Freezis Foundation Firm to prepare some household goods to make it more convenient for her to live there. Listening as Kayo voiced her surprise at the presence of tailoring tools, the girl explained that they had a general idea of the tools Kayo needed given their draper business.
