Akane and Fuyu were still together in my former room. But as soon as I showed up to the door. Akane pulled me in and then closed the door for us.
Before we could say anything, my silly wife’s voice echoed from outside, “Don’t mind me, I’m not helping here. I remember I still have to prepare our bed. Come and join me after you’re done here.”
Whether she was talking to me or both of us, I had no idea. But Fuyu and I stared at that door for at most a minute before we looked at each other and laughed.
“Onoda-kun, she’s been so mischievous lately. Help me discipline her.”
“Sure. Leave it to me.”
If it’s just disciplining her, I have a lot of experience with that, no?
Shortly after that, our gazes met and our laughter immediately died down. With the tension rising in the air, the girl lowered her head and tapped the place beside her.
“... Won’t you sit down?”
“I will. I just thought it was inappropriate to do so without your permission.”
I smiled and approached her.
