After enjoying a freshly grilled Japanese-style sausage, the two returned to the dining area.

Masatsuki Aozaki, having grown accustomed to living with Kirio Hikifune and Senjumaru Shutara, had all but started treating the place like his own home.

As soon as they walked in, Senjumaru Shutara plopped into her seat.

Her slightly disheveled clothes exposed the elegant curve of her collarbones, still faintly flushed from earlier. Against her fair skin, the subtle redness only made her look more alluring.

"I’ll handle the dishes today," she offered, keeping her expression as neutral as possible—like nothing had happened at all.

"..."

Masatsuki Aozaki glanced at her but said nothing.

Right now, she looked like a delicate flower after the rain, her beauty carrying a trace of something unspoken.

No matter how well she controlled her expression, some things simply couldn’t be hidden.

Masatsuki Aozaki chuckled to himself. Let her pretend all she wants.

"Alright, I’ll leave it to you," he said with a smile.

"Mm."

Senjumaru Shutara took the utensils he handed her and walked toward the kitchen.

Her steps were light, graceful—every movement radiating an unmistakable feminine charm.

Masatsuki Aozaki turned to Kirio Hikifune, the corner of his lips curling mischievously.

"You two really aren’t very good at acting, you know. Looking to make it up to me?"

"Uh... yeah," Kirio Hikifune admitted, nodding as she reached out for his hand.

Just like always, their fingers intertwined naturally, his fingertips slipping between hers with ease.

Kirio Hikifune shivered slightly at the contrast—the warmth of his skin against the faint roughness of his nails. Every place he touched sent a pleasant tingle through her.

Masatsuki Aozaki pulled her in and kissed her. _{fre ewebno(v)e\l.(c)om}

"Mm... hmm~"

A small, breathy sound escaped her lips, entirely instinctual.

That familiar sensation...

A warmth spread through her, a restlessness stirring in her chest.

She had the urge to do something.

But—

A glance at the kitchen reminded her that now was definitely not the time. Acting on impulse here would lead to something far too difficult to contain.

Yet, the moment Masatsuki Aozaki’s fingers brushed the small of her back, a tingling shiver ran up her spine.

Kirio Hikifune clutched onto his hand and shirt, holding on tightly.

She met his gaze—his teasing yet knowing eyes staring right back at her.

And then, before she even thought about it, the words left her lips.

"Did you two do it?"

"...Huh?"

"I mean, as lovers—have you gone all the way?"

There was no hiding it now. That clumsy attempt at pretending nothing had happened hadn’t fooled Kirio Hikifune for a second.

She leaned into him, pressing herself closer, fully invading his space in a way that made it very clear who was in control here.

Masatsuki Aozaki blinked, then suddenly laughed.

Shaking his head, he answered casually,

"Nope. We’re nowhere near that point."

"...Is that so?"

Kirio Hikifune didn’t push the subject further, though her eyes flickered with curiosity before she let it go.

"Then let’s continue."

"Yes, yes, of course," Masatsuki Aozaki replied with exaggerated obedience, bowing slightly, completely abandoning any dignity as the so-called "ultimate lifeform."

Then, as if remembering something, Kirio Hikifune paused.

"Oh, by the way... you’re coming back tonight, right?"
