307 Akihiko & Kaoru Suzuki

"Did she call?"

Kazehaya Gin had just entered the room when Ryuu's question welcomed him. He should have known he'd ask something like this, but he was still taken aback that he was rendered speechless. It's not because he didn't know the answer, but mostly because he didn't know how to explain the answer.

Well, how would you tell the husband that his wife didn't want to talk to him to the extent of switching off her phone so nobody could call her?

He had debated how he'd answer for the longest time, that it was already obvious that his answer would be a negative one. Ryuu didn't need to hear anything specific. He already knew.

"I see," the Koutaishidenka murmured emotionlessly, and there was silence afterwards.
