“This may be the first time I am meeting you, Ruki. But from everything I heard from Akane, you’re no longer a stranger to me.” Auntie added before resting her back against her seat.

From her expression alone, there’s no doubt that she’s telling the truth. However, as for whether Akane told her about me directly or not, I had no idea.

And that was probably something I would find out at the end of this.

“That’s flattering and embarrassing at the same time, Auntie.” I put on an embarrassed smile and scratched my cheek, “Maybe I’m sincere and honest but that doesn’t excuse me for making Yuuki-san frustrated, does it?”
