Chapter 359: Furious Out of Shame
Masatsuki Aozaki led Shutara Senjumaru into his room. However, his room didn’t even have a proper space for receiving guests. In the end, Masatsuki sat in a chair while Senjumaru sat on the edge of the bed.
The older woman looked visibly conflicted. She placed her hands on her lap, fingers tightly intertwined, and watched Masatsuki cautiously.
"Well... first of all, I want to ask about what happened the day before yesterday. Why did you do that?" Senjumaru spoke up first.
"The day before yesterday?" Masatsuki tilted his head slightly, looking puzzled.
"That thing! You... you kissed... me!"
Senjumaru’s frustration spilled over, and her voice rose slightly.
"Oh? So you do remember. I thought you’d already forgotten."
In stark contrast to Senjumaru’s world-ending reaction, Masatsuki remained completely at ease.
Until yesterday, Senjumaru had acted no differently than usual, showing no signs of being bothered. Masatsuki had assumed she’d already moved past it. But yesterday, something had clearly changed.
It wasn’t as if Masatsuki hadn’t noticed her unusual behavior—he just hadn’t brought it up. And soon enough, he realized something else.
Senjumaru had suddenly become easily flustered, yet she showed no real aversion toward him. No matter how much he teased her, she didn’t seem to dislike it.
