Chapter 2365: The Incoming Hurdle

Upon returning home, Akane and Fuyu were waiting in the living room with the miraculous tea. Looking at Fuyu, she was already in a pajama that Akane probably lent her. And that means, she's going to sleep here tonight.

"Welcome back, husband!" Akane called out, her voice cheerful and welcoming.

Meanwhile, Fuyu stood up and ran up to me, her arms instantly wrapping around my waist before burying her face in my chest. "Ruki-kun, you smell like Futaba."

Her voice was muffled but it was clear enough to hear. Nevertheless, her tone wasn't one of anger or jealousy. It's more like a complaint that I needed to address by holding her tight and letting her reaffirm her scent on me.

While doing so I guided the girl back to the sofa where Akane was and sat down without pushing the girl away.

Of course, they probably heard about it from Futaba. She promised to call them after I left, after all. Now, it's my turn to tell my side of the story. Just to clear it up.
