Chapter 142 : Chie's Evil Plan

It had been a while since Midori left the Takigawa house to live on her own in Ginza.

Upon recuperating from the whirlwind of emotions that Midori left behind, the Takigawa mansion finally returned to its tranquil state.

Just the way Chie liked it.

Now that the wounds scabbed over, it appeared to be a good idea to ask everyone to forgive and forget.

"Shuugo-san..."

Shuugo looked up from the newspaper he was reading.

"Yes, Chie-san?"

Balancing a plate of steaming tempura and a frosty bottle of sake on a wooden tray, Shuugo's wife approached him with a warm smile. The aroma of crispy batter mingled with the cool air as she set the tray on a small table next to his recliner.

"I thought that maybe you might like some snacks before you go to bed. Today must be tiring."

"Ah... Yes, thank you, Chie-san. I appreciate it."

Instead of leaving, Chie took a chair and sat next to Shuugo.
