An Interrogation?

“Do you prefer tea or coffee?”

“Uh... I’ll take water instead, Auntie. I believe I won’t be staying for long and I can’t trouble you more than I already did.”

“Okay. Wait a moment. Feel free to relax there while I get it for you.”

Declining politely, I put on a smile as I tried my best to look as relaxed as possible in front of her. Well, there’s no need to be nervous. Even if she was truly aware of my identity as Akane’s boyfriend, I hadn’t sensed any hostility from her yet. Or at least, that’s what I concluded after my initial observation.

Watching her disappear into the kitchen, I was left alone in their living room.

Fuyu and Fubuki weren’t around yet. The older sister who’s already worn out from everything that happened weakly made her way to her room after we entered the house. Either she’s already going to rest or change first before dealing with this.
