After the flare up with Satowa, Alice went to chat with Uncle Ralphie who was entertaining her son.

"Ralphie!"
"Lacey!"
The two hip bumped each other, Sakura looking on in confusion.

"Oh Ralph!" Alice laughed. "I'm happy there's someone here that has a sense of humour."
"Well, I mean this was the closest I could get for traditional family attire," said Ralph. "And one that Unagi would approve of."

"Still," said Alice, "Jasmine said this might the last time you're around these parts. You're moving I heard?"
"Yeah. The boss called and said the offshore oil rig is going to be finished next week so I need to move so I can be closer to work. Unagi doesn't have any issue with it, but then again, so long as the money is coming in, I could be working for Father Winter and she wouldn't care."
Alice sighed. "Yes, that does seem to be a common Miruchi trait. Somehow my dear Satoshi missed that completely."

Just then, Satowa announced that the ceremony was about to start. Alice went to pick up Sakura.
"Now you be a good boy, okay?"
"O...kay..." said Sakura carefully.

Alice then gave Satowa a hard glare as she brought Sakura over to the Chair of Blessings.

Satowa glanced over Sakura.
"It looks like he's dressed appropriately," said Satowa. "Let's begin then."

After lighting some incense (which Alice compared to smelling like old gramma soaps), Satowa recited a blessing in his native language.

Sakura simply looked on in confusion as to what is Uncle was saying.
"Uhh...wawa?"
http://bit.ly/2UoGB03
"Now then," said Satowa. "Do you understand what is expected of you?"
Sakura shook his head.
"No. Mui...mi"
Alice and Ralph giggled, Satowa taken aback a bit that Sakura knew the word for "no meaning."
"But...I just...You know this..."
"Mui...mi...Long...worda."
Satowa sighed.
"Yes, yes I guess I was saying a lot of long words..."
"Hai...Too...Long..."
http://bit.ly/2FMvyUV
Satowa picked up Sakura, laughing.
"Maybe they were too long, you're right. What I said was that you should be a good boy and represent our family. Okay?"
"Otay."
"Very well. I now consider Sakura Miruchi now of Age...Even if not here. He has my blessing."

Sakura went over to his mother.
"Mama? Do?"
"What do you mean, sweetheart?" asked Alice. "Do what?"
"Do...now?"
Alice laughed.
"You can do whatever you wish, dear."

"Dancey! Dancey!" Sakura shouted happily, dancing to some music coming from Jasmine's computer.
"He's certainly a happy lil guy," commented Uncle Ralph. "You sure he adopted, Alice?"
Alice laughed.
"He's adopted, but he also has some fun parents."

Mimiru then called out.
"Food's all ready! Dig in!"
http://bit.ly/2UlkI1J
With that, the Miruchi family ended off the Family Ceremony with a good meal.
---------------
Next time, Alice surprises Sakura for his actual age-up, a family laments their missing child and a vote.
See, I'm in a bit of writer's block and I want to know what might be more of interest:
1) Satoshi and Tobias investigate a downed plane in Strangerville.
2)More of Sunny's love life
3)A side plot with vampires kidnapping children and a vampire hunter helping one of them
4)Peter and Brody vs Landgraab's dog.
Do some supernatual! Either the quirky darky StrangerVille or those plasma hungry Vampires! They are cool to change things up
