Not having to turn her wand into her mother for the entire summer seemed almost too good to be true.

Lost in her own thoughts about what all she wanted to do before the week was up, Kurumi didn't pay attention to where she was going as she stepped out of the entryway, ran right smack into someone, and landed with her back to the floor.

And thus began the ritual of bowing over and over again in apology.
