Do You Love Me, Uncle? #183 Challenging Decision
Kenji chuckled softly as Akiko placed the bowl on the table with a loud clatter as soon as they got home."Don't tell me you're still mad," Kenji said."Hmm..." Akiko responded with a huff."I don't care about her at all. I don't even know her first name—just that she's Nishimura." Kenji had never bothered to ask because he didn't see the need.Akiko narrowed her eyes at Kenji, but then turned away toward the sink, cleaning the vegetables she would use for the soup.Kenji also squinted his eyes, trying to guess what Akiko was thinking. "Now why are you mad?" Kenji asked.Earlier, he had understood that Akiko was jealous, but now she seemed upset about something else. Something Kenji couldn't figure out.Akiko sighed. She was usually amazed at how well Kenji could read her thoughts, but this time, she was annoyed because it felt like he was invading a part of her mind she didn't want to dwell on."You laughed," Akiko said, covering the pot of boiling water and adding the vegetables."I

“Excuse me, who are you here to see?”Of course, a nurse would stop them as they walked toward Dr. Hayashi's practice room. There was no way they could walk in without being questioned, especially since his practice hours were already over.“We're Dr. Hayashi's nieces and nephews. We had an appointment earlier, but it seems he forgot. We had no choice but to come here directly.” Kenji put in all his effort to be as polite as possible. Akiko, standing next to him, tried to offer a smile, mixed with an apologetic look.“Oh? But Dr. Hayashi didn’t mention anything about an appointment.” The nurse looked puzzled.“Yeah, that’s the issue. He forgot. If it’s not too much trouble, could you tell him we're here? Just say Kenjiki, his nephew from Karuizawa, has arrived.”With that code, Kenji hoped Hayashi would understand who he was and not cause any trouble.“Of course. One moment.”The nurse knocked on Dr. Hayashi's office door and entered. Kenji squeezed Akiko’s hand again and quickly glan

“What do you mean you can’t? I’m only asking for a list of apartments that are currently available or for sale. I will use your agency,” Kyoko didn’t understand why Kudo was refusing her request.“Sorry, but I can’t give out information to someone outside of Shingi Fusaya right now. There are new, very strict regulations about this. I can’t break those rules.” Kudo sounded very regretful.“What regulations? You helped me get an apartment yesterday!”Kyoko clearly didn’t believe it. She wasn’t even an employee of Shingi Fusaya when Kudo helped her a few weeks ago. Kudo had easily secured an apartment for her without considering any rules. It seemed strange that he now felt he had to be careful.“Actually, this regulation has been around for a long time, but it was very loose because the marketing department’s priority is to sell the units. But earlier, HR announced that there had been a leak of information to a competitor. Because of that, they asked all employees to be cautious. I can

“Is my sister inside?” Ryu inquired as soon as he reached home. He only saw Kyoko sitting there, staring at him with her arms crossed over her chest.“No. She left with her shinai. I don’t know where she went,” Kyoko replied curtly.“Ah... she's training.” Ryu wasn’t affected by Kyoko’s cold tone and responded to the news with relief. He wasn’t in the mood for a fight tonight.“Yui Onee-chan most likely went to one of Kuryugumi’s dojos nearby,” Ryu said as he took off his jacket and sat down.It was a simple movement, but Kyoko averted her gaze before feeling any more foolish. Ryu wasn’t trying to look more handsome, but the way he loosened his tie and rolled up his sleeves was oddly captivating.“So, why are you sitting out here?” Ryu assumed Kyoko was in the front room chatting with Yui.“Did you stop me from getting an apartment?” Kyoko looked at Ryu with determined eyes. She asked, but the answer was already in her mind.Ryu sighed and ran his hand through his hair. Kyoko wasn’t e

"Hmm… Maybe I need to clarify it. It seems like you’re having trouble processing this."Ryu stood up and approached Kyoko, who had also stood up, shocked. Kyoko's eyes were still locked on Ryu, who was now smiling, but her body seemed frozen.Ryu voiced his feelings aloud, and her mind suddenly became a mess. She couldn't form a sharp reaction, let alone a rejection.On the other hand, Ryu never took his eyes off Kyoko, barely blinking. He wanted her to understand that there was no hesitation in what he was about to say."I love you. Is that clearer now?" Ryu asked, reaching for Kyoko’s cheek. He wanted to gently stroke it, hoping for a reaction—anything to break her silence. But the reaction he got was far from what he expected.SLAP!Kyoko slapped Ryu's hand away the moment his fingertips touched her cheek. Ryu hadn’t even had a chance to caress it. Kyoko immediately stepped back, her face pale."No! You can’t say that! Those words are disgusting!" Kyoko hissed, clutching the cheek

"I hate working for other people," Kenji suddenly muttered while tightening his embrace around Akiko.“What?” Akiko, still groggy from sleep, didn’t catch what he said. She turned to face Kenji and pulled up the blanket to ward off the cold, her back exposed without showing any clothes.“I said, I hate working for other people,” Kenji repeated as he opened his eyes, gently stroking Akiko’s cheek, who was now fully awake as well.“What’s with this sudden statement?” Akiko frowned.“Because I actually just want to stay home today and do nothing." Kenji sighed, "Be with you."“You mean you want to skip work but can’t?” Akiko chuckled softly as she understood what Kenji meant.“Yes, unfortunately, I can’t.”“Have you ever skipped work?”"I do, but no one will scold me. Right now, Ono wouldn’t scold me, but he would make

Akiko woke up when her head hit something, and she immediately opened her eyes. However, all she could see was a small, unfamiliar space. The sound of an engine made Akiko realize that she was in the backseat of a car.She tried to sit up, but it was difficult because her hands were tied in front of her. Her legs were free, though, giving her some mobility. But the situation alone was enough to make Akiko panic."Who are you? Where are you taking me?!" When the man driving glanced back at her, Akiko demanded, realizing she was awake.The man, probably in his sixties, had evenly gray hair. But his eyes still looked sharp, and he drove with confidence. His mouth, however, remained shut. He gave no answer and kept driving without appearing bothered."Where are you taking me? Let me go!" Akiko shouted louder, finally getting a reaction."You know what's going on. It's pointless to yell," the man responded calmly, which only frustrated Akiko more. Her a

"Is this Tanaka's residence?" Kyoko gaped as she stepped out of the car, seeing the grandeur of the building in front of her.The structure resembled Osaka Castle in terms of both magnificence and location. It stood on the edge of a hill, surrounded by small traditional-style houses.The Osaka Castle impression grew stronger as Kyoko entered the inner gate. As far as her eyes could see, there were no ordinary buildings like typical houses. Even the garden had a Japanese style, complete with a red arched bridge and shisa* statues.However, the house and garden's beauty was clearly ruined now, as Kyoko saw bodies lying around. It wasn't exactly a bloodbath, but there had definitely been some commotion around the large house.At least ten people were now sitting and groaning in pain, some clutching what seemed like broken limbs, bent in unnatural directions."Did Kenji do all this?" Kyoko shuddered suddenly.Kyoko only knew Kenji as a calm man,

Yuto cursed inwardly as he saw the crowd of reporters gathered at his doorstep. He hadn't expected to face them, even though Karin had given him a slight heads-up about the situation at home. But it turned out there were far more people than he'd imagined."Please take a turn over there."Yuto asked the taxi driver not to stop in front of his house. He needed to find another way in, perhaps through the less conspicuous back door, hoping no one would be waiting for him there.But again, disappointment. As he arrived at the street leading to the back entrance, Yuto saw a few people standing near the gate. Even though the crowd was smaller than at the front entrance, it was still preferable to the main entrance.Yuto instructed the taxi driver to stop, but not directly in front of the gate. He got out near the back gate of the neighbor’s house, then walked toward his own.He kept his head down, raising the collar of his coat to hide his face. Th

"There are no serious symptoms, Sandaime. Your wife is strong, and her pregnancy has entered the end of the second trimester. Very strong. I hope there won't be any issues until the day of delivery."The doctor, who had examined Akiko, smiled as he delivered the news. Despite hearing everything, Kenji didn't feel reassured. "Are you sure? She was dizzy earlier!""I'm sure. Fatigue can cause dizziness, even if it occurs only once or twice. If it repeats frequently, then it could be a concern." The doctor gave him a slight warning, but not a direct one, to prevent Kenji from becoming panicked."I'll remember this. Make sure you don't make a mistake." Kenji's tone was threatening. He did not want any errors."Of course. Just make sure Tanaka-san continues with her regular check-ups." The doctor bowed, and Kenji waved him off.Kenji then entered the room, where Akiko was lying down. Her eyes were closed, but Kenji knew she wasn't asleep. The moment he

Akiko did indeed locate the man who was with Shibata yesterday, but his condition was not favorable.Yesterday, Akiko noticed that his condition had deteriorated, but this time it was even worse. He had bruises on his face, his nose was bent and darkened, and his shirt around his chest was dirty, revealing the mark of Kenji's boot."Akiko-chan."Yuto tried to approach her, but Kenji—who, of course, had followed her in—stopped him. He pulled Akiko's hand, keeping her away from Yuto while standing between them."What do you think you're doing?!" Kenji shouted."Move," Akiko replied, pushing Kenji aside."Kiko-chan." Kenji was clearly surprised, as it had been a long time since Akiko had openly defied him like this.But Akiko didn't want to stay quiet. She needed to understand the meaning of the strange sense of righteousness stirring within her heart.Akiko never doubted that her love for Kenji was real. There was no

"Yuto-kun? Where are you? Have you seen the news? You have to see it!"Karin's panicked shout left Kenji feeling slightly disappointed. Karin didn’t recognize his voice. She kept talking, thinking she was speaking to Yuto."That’s Otou-san, right? What happens now? Will that position be lost?" Karin was panicked, and naturally, Kenji smiled.It was better this way. She couldn’t recognize his voice because she didn’t expect him to be involved in all the misfortunes that had occurred. Kenji had answered the phone because he wanted to give Karin a little hint about what was coming her way next. But perhaps it wasn’t necessary. Surprises always produced more satisfying results."Yuto-kun?!" Karin shouted again, having received no answer.So, Kenji crouched down and covered the phone’s mic."Answer, but don’t say anything about me," Kenji whispered, commanding and threatening.Yuto clearly wanted to
Do You Love Me, Uncle? #246 You Chose to Cover It?
[For the next news. We were taken aback by the unexpected news that arrived today. We have confirmed that this case is currently under police investigation as we release this report.]The opening of the news made Yuto glance back at Kenji. He couldn’t understand why Kenji had come over just to invite him to watch TV. It couldn’t be that simple.But Kenji wasn’t paying attention. He continued to watch the television, smiling.[This morning, it was reported that a man with the initial 'K,' who was recently appointed as the Minister of Education, has committed a criminal act.]At that point, Yuto's face went pale. Although the news only mentioned an initial—not a full name—the title mentioned was enough to clarify the identity. Since only one person on Earth had been appointed Japan's Minister of Education, the narrative fit perfectly.Yuto could easily imagine what had happened because he had spent half his life knowing
Do You Love Me, Uncle? #245 Let's Enjoy The Show
“What’s wrong with you?”Kenji held back Akiko’s hand, which was about to feed her a large piece of roasted fish without removing the bones. Akiko was just going to eat it as is.“Oh.” Akiko looked at the fish on the end of her chopsticks and put it back down.Kenji moved his chair closer to Akiko, took the plate, separated the fish meat from the bones, and then returned it. Now it was safe to eat.“What were you daydreaming about?” Kenji asked.Earlier, Kenji thought Akiko was just sleepy, so he didn’t pay much attention to the food in front of her. But Akiko didn’t look drowsy; her eyes were just vacant, lost in thought.“I… Oh, never mind.” Akiko shook her head and proceeded with her breakfast.“If you don’t like today’s activities, cancel everything and rest.” Kenji was unable to recall what Akiko had planned to do next.&
Do You Love Me, Uncle? #244 Who is He?
"Let go!"As she got closer, Akiko began to hear the conversation between Shibata and the foreign man.The man appeared to be struggling, trying to free himself from Shibata. His hands were tied behind his back.Akiko instinctively hesitated to approach, not understanding what was happening. The rope binding him was concerning, but she still wanted to know what was going on."Shibata-san, what’s happening?" Akiko called out a bit loudly to get Shibata's attention.Both Shibata and the man arguing with him turned to her in surprise. At first, Akiko focused solely on Shibata—the person she recognized more—but the foreign man drew her attention more.This was because Akiko noticed how the man was staring at her with unblinking eyes. He was scrutinizing her from head to toe, making Akiko feel uncomfortable. She instinctively took two steps back, wanting to avoid his gaze. She disliked that look; it felt wrong—disgusting.
Do You Love Me, Uncle? #243 Is Someone In There?
“What happened in the front room?” Akiko asked curiously as she entered Kenji’s office and approached him, sitting in a chair and staring at his laptop.Akiko had seen a few people fixing the shoji door, which had earlier been split by a blunt katana.“There was a stray cat that came in, and there was a bit of a scene getting it out,” Kenji said, closing the laptop and extending his hand. As usual, Akiko took his hand and sat on his lap, resting it on his thigh.“Where’s the cat? Was it cute?” Akiko inquired as she settled in, craning her neck to look around the room.Kenji felt a pang of regret upon witnessing Akiko's intense passion for cats. He gave the first excuse that came to mind—a mild one, hoping to end the conversation quickly. He forgot that Akiko had always been fond of cats and fluffy animals.“It’s gone, and you shouldn’t try to find it,” Kenji said, gently
Do You Love Me, Uncle? #242 She Not an Angel
Yuto tried to escape by opening the sliding door, but someone was standing right in front of it, looking startled as the door suddenly opened.Relief washed over Yuto, hoping for help from the person. He grabbed the man's hand."Please… he…"Before he could finish his plea, Yuto's body was pushed back into the room, and the door slammed shut.Of course, Kojima wouldn't dare interfere with whatever Kenji was about to do. He wasn't Ryu, who was empowered to stop Kenji from killing. Kojima himself could become the target if he got too involved.Panicking, Yuto turned around and collapsed to the floor, his legs giving out as Kenji approached closer. Kenji's eyes were locked onto him, not wavering for a second."I didn't know at first! Really! I only found out after Akiko left. I only did the test after she left the house!"Yuto raised his hands, trying to block the impending strike. He pleaded for Kenji to reconsider w
