“Huh?”

Kiri smiled at the

confused Touya as if he were teasing him.

“Since I’ve been

busy, and you’ve been taking care of Natsuki and Akio, we haven’t had

much time to talk just the two of us, but—even though we all live in

the same house, I’m the only one who gets treated differently,

huh.”

“That’s not it.”

Straightening his posture,

Touya decided he needed to tell him how he felt. The way he felt when

Kiri stroked his head—how it felt sweet, like experiencing the

flavor of a pastry for the first time, and how it was very dear to

him, almost to the point of craving it.

“I’m very

thankful for you, Kiri. If you didn’t help me when I first woke up

here—I don’t know what would have happened to me. It’s not just

Natsuki and Akio, but you too, of course. I don’t want to lose the

bond the three of us have formed.”

“I’m glad. I was

included in your thoughts.”

When he smiled happily, even

though he knew being his wife was just a misunderstanding, Touya’s

face became warm. It had way too much of an effect on him—he

thought, as he frantically tried to change the subject.

“Kiri……you said you’ve been busy, you mean with your

work in the human world? I heard about it from Akio. That a youkai

called a soul eater has appeared.”

“Akio only told

you about it, huh. That’s good.”

“I was curious about it,

so I asked. That youkai—eats souls, and takes on their victim’s form,

right?”
