"Kanae!" Misae exclaimed. She saw that Kanae was not in a good condition, yet she was forced to get out of the house because of this annoying Sakura.
Sakura flicked a glance towards Kanae before turning her face away. She hated Kanae very much, but at the same time, Kanae has helped her more than once. This made her rather conflicted, but she still chose to not address Kanae on friendly terms. She hated her cousin very much.
"I just want you to give this doctor' note to the school," Kanae handed Misae a piece of paper. "It's for permission to not go to school."
"If you have finished your business here, leave. This land is not for someone like you to step on," Sakura said in a menacing tone.
Kanae glanced towards Sakura. "The backyard is my land. Don't you try to kick out my guest."
The two of them glared towards each other before Sakura snorted and walked away. She didn't want to spend her time clashing with these two. As a main member of the Nali Family, she had more important things to do.
Misae growled slightly. She disliked that girl very much as Sakura always tried to show off and push Kanae down. If only she knew that Sakura also wanted for Kanae to get wounded badly, she might have reported that girl to her father.
"You don't have to stay here for long. I still have to rest."
"I want to accompany you."
The two girls headed towards the small house where Kanae lived. Upon seeing the condition of the house, Misae was enraged. She could not believe that the Nali Family let a young girl live in a rundown house like this. She was still their family member!
"I don't have anything to give you," Kanae scratched her head in embarrassment. All she had here was some instant noodles to eat during her rest time. She could make her way towards the store across the street occasionally, but right now she just wanted to lie down.
Misae shook her head. "You don't have to serve me anything. Just a glass of water is enough."
"Wait for a moment."
Kanae poured a glass of water for Misae before lying down on her bed again. In this cramped place, Misae was unsure where she should sit. In the end, she chose to sit on Kanae's chair.
"This is very small."
"I'm already used to it, but I guess you're not."
Misae nodded her head. The entire house size was almost the same as her bedroom, so it was incredibly small in her opinion. Of course, she could not say it out loud as she didn't want to show off.
"I brought you some food, and Alice will come here too," Misae said.
"Oh, Alice will come too?" Kanae wore a bitter smile. This place was totally unsuitable for a princess like Alice.
As she had expected, Alice was stunned speechless when she saw Kanae's house. No wonder this girl didn't allow the others to come here in the past. There was almost no room at all for her to move around.
"You can sit down on the bed," Kanae moved her feet slightly.
Alice sat down. "I brought you some cookies. They won't help much with the nutrition you need, but I guess they're good enough to cheer you up."
"Yes! I love your cookies the most! Thank you very much."
Alice looked around the place. It was a very small place and rather cramped because of Kanae's items. There were only one chair and one table with most of her things on the floor, bundled up nicely.
"I don't understand why the Nali Family treats you this badly."
"It's a long story, Alice," Kanae sighed. "Anyway, I'm just an unwanted branch member of the Nali Family. They can't wait to get rid of me once I reach adulthood."
"Adulthood? You mean 17 years old?"
"Yes," Kanae nodded her head.
Alice looked towards Kanae worriedly. Without the backing of the Nali Family, would her friend be alright? There were a lot of people who wanted to take her down.
"I don't need the Nali Family to live, and they never gave me anything, so I'll be the one to declare my departure from them when I reach 17," Kanae answered calmly. Her composed tone and expression made it hard for them to guess what this girl was thinking inside.
"Whatever happens, we'll be on your side," Alice said with certainty in her voice.
"Yup, I'll never leave you," Misae nodded her head in agreement.
Kanae smiled towards her two friends. "Thank you very much, you two."
