"Has anyone been hearing strange noises around the house or is it just me?" KiRA's aunt, Suzen, asked with a playful smirk on her face, glancing at the couple that was drinking their morning coffee without making any eye contact with her.
"Hmm? Now that you mention it, I did hear something last night. It was like… muffling noises? I don't know what it might be though." Aurelia, Izzy's mother, played along with her friend.
The two of them used all means they could, even putting up a magical barrier to reduce noises, but these mothers were simply too sharp.
Even if there were no noises, they were not going to miss any chances to tease their children.
"Hmmm… you know what? It has been like this ever since the three of them came back. Do you think they brought back some kind of unexpected monster with them, Su? Should we keep watch at night?" She was glancing at the two of them as well and the two knew very well they were only doing that to tease them.
