338 Clearly A Descendant

30 minutes earlier…

Suzuki Aki arrived at the Cedar Palace with Chiaki in tow to attend Gin's and Emi's wedding reception. He was the only businessman present at the small feast, but that was because of his personal connection to the Homura House.  Unlike the previous times he came there, he had already learned how to feel at ease at the place. However, today was totally different. He was nervous and anxious as he had been since the day before.

Why?

It was because he was informed that Perun, his sister's soul's real father was there.

"Aki, you're hands are cold," Chiaki murmured against his ear, making him clear his throat in embarrassment. "Are you alright?"

"I am," Aki answered almost instantly making the corner of Chiaki's mouth lift in amusement.
