Another End of a Long Day
Upon arriving home, Akane welcomed us by the door. Her face beamed with delight. Likewise, Shizu greeted her with a smile, unlike the last time when they seemed to size each other up.
Seeing that, I couldn’t restrain myself from doing the same before hugging them both and doting on them unconditionally.
With our slippers already prepared as well as a drink in case we were thirsty, Akane wasn’t holding back with her hospitality here.
As we moved to the living room, the girl took my free side, sandwiching me between them. Akane already prepared the miraculous tea. Drinking it has long become part of our nightly routine.
After putting down everything I was carrying, the three of us drank it while eating the cake slices that I bought from the pastry shop near the station.
Of course, Akane didn’t inquire me about what we did and I acted clueless that I’d read a part of their conversation while wondering why they’re both in a good mood.
