Dudu!

As night fell, after a period of driving, Asakawa Yu and the other two finally returned home.

After parking the car, the three of them unloaded the things they would be using for camping in a few days from the trunk.

"Hey! Looks like we bought a little too much," Miyano Akemi said, picking up the large bag of snacks.

"Hehe, it's all because you kept saying that some things could be kept at home, otherwise we wouldn't have bought so many."

"Uh...hehe, I just bought too much because I was in a good mood tonight. I can always bring it to the store for Mina's kids to eat."

Hey~

Seeing that her sister showed no remorse whatsoever, Ai Haibara finally gave up trying to persuade her.

However, thinking about what happened tonight, Ai Haibara said she could understand why her sister was so happy, so she decided not to think about it anymore.

Just then, Asakawa Yu walked over and touched Haibara Ai's soft hair. "It's okay, just be happy. Besides, these things don't actually cost much."

Feeling the slight itch on her head, just as Haibara Ai was getting quite comfortable from the caress, she realized what was happening and slapped away Asakawa Yu's mischievous hands.

"I'll go back and tell the professor first, then I'll come over after I take a shower..."

To hide the fact that she had just been touched so comfortably, Ai Haibara hurriedly ran towards the direction of the professor's house after giving a brief explanation.

"Huh? Where's Ai?" Akemi asked Asakawa Yu as soon as she turned her head and found that her younger sister was gone.

Watching Ai Haibara's retreating figure disappear into the distance, Asakawa Yu turned around and answered Akemi.

Upon hearing that Ai Haibara would come over after taking a shower, Akemi suddenly became a little dissatisfied. "Eh? I was actually planning to shower with her."

Seeing Miyano Akemi's complaining expression, Asakawa Yu couldn't help but find it somewhat amusing.

But then he picked up another bag and patted Mingmei's head with his other hand. "Okay, okay, let's take everything inside first. After we're done, you can take a shower or something."

For some reason, Asakawa Yu seemed to like this feeling. Compared to Haibara Ai, he preferred to stroke Akemi's hair.

Driven by this emotion, he touched Akemi's soft hair again.

Feeling the same tickling sensation on her head, Akemi, who was being rubbed so comfortably, half-closed her eyes and immediately lost her temper, contentedly enjoying the feeling.

After stroking her head a few more times, Asakawa Yu came to her senses and quickly took her hand away from Akemi's head.

In an instant, Akemi slowly opened her eyes after feeling the sensation disappear. Her blank gaze seemed to be conveying a signal.

Why did you stop?

Having understood her meaning, Asakawa Yu simply smiled and said nothing more, then took the bag and walked home.

Although Asakawa Yu had never been in a relationship, he still understood one principle: know when to stop.

They'd already had enough intimate contact tonight, and he didn't want the novelty to wear off so quickly; a slow and steady approach was the key to a long-lasting relationship!

However, looking at Akemi's blank eyes, Asakawa Yu almost couldn't hold back.

Wait a minute! Has I awakened some strange attribute? Like liking to be patted on the head and stuff...?

No, no, no! He would never admit it!

After clearing his head of all that nonsense, Asakawa Yu returned to his usual poker face.

"Hey sis, how much longer are you going to stand here? Is that guy's back view really that good-looking?"

Just as Miyano Akemi was still standing there, savoring the tenderness Asakawa Yu had just given her, a helpless voice from behind startled her!

"I know you're having a great time tonight, but could you please restrain yourself a little? And even if you are, you don't have to be so mesmerized by that guy's back view, do you?"

My sister is hopeless. Even if you really like that guy, you don't have to be so obsessed with him, do you? No doubt, someone corrupted my sister!

Ai Haibara walked slowly and deliberately through the iron gate, squinting at her older sister as she spoke, inwardly complaining as she did so.

"No, no, Ai! I... I just..."

When she realized that her younger sister had witnessed what had just happened, Akemi, who was already shy, became nervous and even her explanation became hesitant and stammering.

"By the way, Ai, didn't you say you were going to come over after taking a shower? Why are you here now..."

It was obvious that Akemi Miyano was changing the subject, but Ai Haibara wasn't the type to press the issue, so she took the opportunity to back down.

Shaking the clothes she was holding, Ai Haibara began to explain, "Actually, the professor accidentally broke the water heater while he was doing an experiment, and it's still being repaired, so he told me to come here and take a shower."

Akemi relaxed when she saw that Ai Haibara no longer brought up what had just happened.

Honestly, staring longingly at the back of someone you like is just too embarrassing if someone sees you doing that!

"That's great! Now my sister and I can shower together again!"

"Alright, it's about time we went in. Standing here in the cold wind makes me feel like an idiot."

As soon as she finished speaking, Ai Haibara took Akemi's hand and walked into the house.

~~~

Click!

With the sound of the door closing, the two finally entered the house.

But when Miyano Akemi stepped through that door again, her feelings were completely different.

Looking into the room, a complex mix of emotions flashed in her deep blue eyes. She stood there, lost in thought, completely oblivious to what was going on in her mind.

This is my home from now on, the place where I will live from now on...

She's no longer going to be a tenant, but rather the 'hostess'!

After everything that happened tonight, Miyano Akemi finally stopped feeling anxious and insecure. She truly saw herself as Asakawa Yu's girlfriend and as someone she could spend her life with.

This change has also altered my feelings about this home.

"What are you waiting for? Come on in."

After putting her things away, Asakawa Yu walked to the entrance and found Akemi and the others still standing there. She gently urged them on.

Although he didn't know why Ai Haibara, who had just left, would return in such a short time, Asakawa Yu could probably guess something from the clothes she was holding.

"Ok!"

After responding, Akemi and the others went inside.

They stepped into the little house where they met!
