This was a Memorable Moment He Shared with Her

Ryuu was having a sweet time nestling together with his wife when he was awakened by a force on his shoulders.

"Ryuu, wake up! Wake up!"

"...why?"

Ryuu groggily slid open his eyes in a fraction. His gaze was a blur, yet he could still see his wife's anxious face.

"The others have returned. Why don't you go first?"

Although the sound was faint, Yuina was certain the group that went inside the forest was slowly returning. As she looked at the time, it was already nearing six o'clock. Himari also had notified her by sending a message.

"Okay..."

Either he wanted it or not, Ryuu knew he had to leave now. He slowly got up, one hand rubbing his sleepy eyes.

Yuina stifled the urge to laugh. The exhaustion that she felt earlier had long gone.

"Will you go back to the city straightaway?" Yuina asked while squeezing both of Ryuu's shoulders.

"I have to," answered Ryuu sadly, "Yousuke actually didn't allow me to come here."
