Chapter 62: Pregnant Woman Craving Meat Buns
Meanwhile, at the Rokuhara family apartment.
The bathroom door creaked open, releasing a puff of steam as Ren stepped out. His hair was still damp, droplets of water occasionally trailing down his neck and disappearing beneath his plain white T-shirt. The cotton shorts he wore were comfortable, perfect for lounging at home.
As he stepped into the living room, a scene of the two women interacting warmly greeted him. On the sofa, Itsuki sat, her pregnant body wrapped in a casual house dress, while behind her stood Hayasaka, her fingers gently combing through Itsuki's long pink hair.
'Thank goodness they get along.' Ren thought with relief.
The dreaded shuraba scenario—a messy, chaotic love triangle common in anime—had not occurred in their household. Instead, the two women had formed a friendship.
Ren approached the sofa. Without thinking, he leaned down and pressed his lips to Itsuki's.
"..?!!!"
Itsuki's eyes widened in surprise. Her first instinct was to pull away—after all, Hayasaka was right there, watching everything.
Her cheeks flushed with embarrassment. However, Ren's gentle persistence quickly dissolved her hesitation. Before she knew it, her initial reluctance turned into enthusiasm as she kissed him back with unexpected passion.
*JIIII—*
Behind them, Hayasaka stood frozen, her hairbrush suspended in mid-air.
