Finally, we succeeded in our counterattack! It wasn't easy! It wasn't easy at all!

Reiko Akiba went to wash up, while Kusunoki Hanyu stood up and toured the room with great interest.

The apartment was decorated in a simple and elegant style, and its location was exceptionally quiet. He stood by the window and quietly looked at the distant scenery for a while, then turned to look at the bedroom with the door wide open.

He really trusts himself...

Yu Shengnan's lips curled slightly. His gaze fell upon a group photo displayed in the bedroom, and on the table were the gold bars and maple leaf coins that he had put back into Akiba Reiko's pocket yesterday.

His expression turned solemn for a moment.

The deceased is gone; from now on, I will take care of Reiko in your place.

.........

Emerging from the restroom, Akiba Reiko changed into a uniquely styled tracksuit. The outer layer was a somber gray, while the inner layer was a soft pink, and she carried a small white bag around her waist.

She casually put her hands in her pockets, put on her hat, and looked incredibly cool as she strode out of the house.

Although she said she would never take someone to go forest bathing, she pretended not to see that someone followed her under the pretext of protecting her safety.

She's a renowned soprano, after all; she has to maintain the proper air of sophistication.

She can't easily forget how many times someone has taunted her just because of a breakfast; that would make her seem like she has no bottom line.

Yuzuru Hanyu, with his hands in his pockets and his tracksuit hood up, followed Akiba Reiko at a leisurely pace.

He could clearly see that Akiba Reiko was in a much better mood than when they had just met that morning.

The reason he's still deliberately putting on a cold face is because, just like his little Ai, he's stubbornly maintaining his arrogant attitude.
