Do You Love Me, Uncle? #36 Another Trick
"Have we arrived?" Akiko jerked awake, realizing that Kenji's car had stopped. But there was no answer. Akiko glanced to the side and noticed no one in the driver's seat.She straightened up, feeling a bit panicked, thinking she was alone. But then something slid off her body—a dark earth-colored coat. She was covered by Kenji's coat. It was a relief, because it meant Kenji was nearby.Akiko looked out of the car and finally saw Kenji leaning against the hood. Smoke curled around his head. The cigarette smoke made Akiko grimace. As far as she remembered, Kenji had quit smoking.Akiko opened the door, and Kenji turned around. Reflexively, he put out the cigarette by pressing it against the car's hood and then slipped the remaining stub into the pack in his pocket."Where are we?" Akiko asked, confused, as she saw the orange sun dipping westward and the unfamiliar beach in front of her."Sendai," Kenji replied, pushing himself up to sit on the hood, while Akiko gaped."Sendai? You broug

Yuto was startled when he suddenly felt a hand on his waist. He opened his eyes but quickly closed them again as his head felt heavy and dizzy. Yuto frowned and pinched the bridge of his nose, thinking he must be dreaming because no one should be sleeping beside him. It had been a while since Akiko left home.But then Yuto forced himself to open his eyes, realizing the weight on his waist was real. He also noticed that his body was lying on a bed—on a soft mattress, not on a futon. Yuto turned to the side and widened his eyes. "What are you doing here?"Yuto moved away, grabbing the blanket to cover himself. He realized he was naked. Karin—who was next to him—stirred. Yuto cursed inwardly, noticing that Karin was also naked, just like him.Karin slowly opened her eyes and stared at Yuto—silent for a few seconds before screaming. "AGHH!" Karin yelled as she quickly arranged the blanket to cover her exposed body."How…." Yuto was confused, looking around. Their hotel room was where th

Akiko turned her blushing face away, embarrassed, like a thief caught in the act."Where exactly are we?" Akiko finally found the right question to ask, clearly wanting to avoid discussing why they were in the same bed."A hotel. I couldn't drive all the way to Tokyo last night, so I stopped here," Kenji explained as he pushed aside the blanket, rubbed his head, yawned, and stood up, heading to the bathroom.Akiko just nodded. She wouldn't be upset because Kenji made the right decision. Driving while sleepy is extremely dangerous. Now Akiko remembered what she did before falling asleep.They had stopped for food, and after they set off again, her stomach felt nauseous. Akiko took the last anti-nausea pill prescribed by her doctor a few days ago, and then she fell asleep. Kenji had carried Akiko into this room, and she hadn't noticed at all."We'll have breakfast, then head back to Tokyo," Kenji said after coming out of the bathroom."Okay." Akiko pushed aside all the thoughts she had

Guilt can easily affect courage and self-confidence. That’s what happened to Akiko. She hadn't been able to lift her head, and her whole body felt fragile. Akiko was trembling with guilt.If she counted from the day she tried to meet Yuto, went to the beach, and had to stay overnight for two nights—because her nausea was still quite severe—it added up to a total of eight days Akiko had been absent without a clear reason.Today, Akiko came to the office, preparing herself emotionally. She was ready to be fired and had even planned to start job hunting right away.But Akiko also planned to plead with Watanabe to give her a recommendation letter, which would give her some experience, even if just for a few weeks, hoping it would make finding a new job easier.Akiko placed her bag on the table and sat down, waiting for her fate. Waiting for Watanabe to call her.“Nakamura-san?”Akiko was startled and turned around to see Mori, who had just arrived, looking at her.“Come here.” Mori opened

Kenji realized that Akiko hadn't come home yet, causing his anger, which had slightly subsided over the past few days, to flare up again because Akiko had disobeyed his orders once more.Kenji had clearly stated that Akiko was not allowed to work overtime. He had allowed her to work, but not to stay late. Yet on her very first day, Akiko had easily violated his orders."You sure show up quickly when it comes to Akiko," Ryu greeted him in front of the second-floor elevator. He knew about Kenji's arrival from the security who recognized him."Don't make unnecessary comments; I'm not in the mood to hear them," Kenji hissed, ignoring the jab and heading straight to Akiko's office."She's still inside, right?" Kenji asked."Yes," Ryu replied. As soon as the security informed him of Kenji's arrival, Ryu made sure that Akiko hadn't left the office yet."I've already asked Mori not to burden his team with overtime. It's strange, but Mori—oh no

"Are you sobber?" Akiko asked.But Kyoko just stood there, swaying while pointing at Akiko, who was confused. Then Kyoko burst into laughter—a kind of laughter Akiko had never heard before. When drunk, Kyoko became a completely different person."Calm down a bit. I can't get you into a taxi like this." Akiko tried to snap Kyoko out of it by patting her arm, but Kyoko was already completely intoxicated.They had dinner together earlier—Mori and his two team members, ending with drinks. Akiko, of course, hadn't had any alcohol. Her feelings about her pregnancy were still indescribable, but Akiko wouldn't do anything dangerous like drinking alcohol.A few weeks ago, Akiko had gotten drunk without realizing she was pregnant. She shuddered slightly at the thought of drinking while pregnant. Akiko certainly wouldn't repeat that foolishness.Akiko had managed to avoid drinking with various excuses—the last one being that she lied about n

Yuto stared at Akiko, who was gently stroking her belly. The gesture held no significance for him.But Akiko's thoughts returned to her pregnancy. If only Yuto's offer had come before she knew about her pregnancy, Akiko might have accepted it immediately.But it was too late, and nothing could be fixed anymore. Akiko could never return to Yuto's house while pregnant—it was impossible. One thing was certain: Kaede would not greet her willingly or with a beaming smile."Does your mother know what you're doing right now?" Akiko asked.She held onto a sliver of hope, but the dull look in Yuto's eyes was enough to tell Akiko that what she hoped for was impossible.While many aspects of her life had changed, Yuto remained the same. He was still the sweet Yuto, who wanted to please his mother by always being polite and never contradicting her."It hurts. I feel so much pain," Akiko muttered, putting the empty paper cup she had been holding in

Bravery and anger surged within Akiko, as she was genuinely irritated by what Kenji had done. Yuto had disappointed her, but, in her opinion, Kenji had gone too far by threatening Yuto earlier.“How can I not get involved? Right now, you're carrying my child, and you're going to take him to that cursed house. Now you see, don’t you? Your beloved man is nothing more than a coward pretending to be a real man.” With a mocking grin, Kenji sneered.“I've already promised to protect this child, and I will. I won't foolishly take him to the Nakamura family! But what I do after that is up to me! It’s up to me to decide who I want to live with and how…”"You are contemplating reuniting with that scumbag following the birth of my child?" When he realized Akiko's hidden desires, Kenji hissed in a low voice.“Yes!” Akiko replied, but she turned her gaze away, pretending to brush her hair aside. Akiko wasn’t sure about the plan, but she still thought that Yuto was the best option for now.“Kiko-ch

“Himawari! Natsu!”A ten-year-old boy let out a loud shout when he discovered two other children hiding behind the bushes beneath the tree.“Kenzo—big brother!”Natsu was startled to see Kenzo suddenly appear. He pulled the girl, Himawari, beside him to stand, intending to run away, but Kenzo stopped him.“No! You’re making Okaa-san worried. You have to go back.” Kenzo grabbed Natsu's arm.“But Himawari is scared. She doesn’t want to go to school,” Natsu pointed at Himawari, who was now sobbing.“Hima-chan.” Kenzo knelt down and gently stroked Himawari's head, which was bowed down.“School isn’t scary. You’ll meet many new people and make new friends,” Kenzo coaxed softly until Himawari looked up to meet Kenzo's gaze.“But… but… I want to be with Natsu. I don’t want to go to school…”

“This place isn’t bad.” Kenji didn’t outright refuse, but his reluctance was evident.“Indeed, I will make sure this place will never be bad for those children. However, Kenzo stands apart from these children. They are kids who truly have no family and are forced to live here. Kenzo has me. I am his family. I am the only family Kenzo has."Akiko didn’t want to acknowledge this while remembering Kenzo's mother’s actions, but Kenzo was still the child of her mother’s younger sibling—her family. No one else was her blood relative as of now.“I can’t forget that fact and pretend Kenzo is someone else. It will haunt me in my sleep,” Akiko urged again.Kenji fiddled with the car keys beneath him while staring at the back of Kenzo's head, who was now trying to draw something with crayons on a new piece of paper.“I know you hate his mother—I do too. But you don’t hav

“I still don’t want to do this,” Kenji grumbled.“I know, but I’m sure you also know that this is the right thing to do,” Akiko replied, looking at her husband, who was now unbuckling his seatbelt. Although they arrived two minutes earlier, neither of them got out of the car.The decision they—Akiko—made was indeed a significant one. Akiko needed to calm herself. Kenji had left the choice to her, but he was still going through it with a heavy heart.“Come on, let’s go.” Akiko finally opened the door and stepped out.Children playing in the yard rushed over when they spotted her.“Tanaka-san! What did you bring today? Candy? A storybook?”A chorus of voices greeted Akiko. She often visited the orphanage with gifts, so the children expected her to bring something.“I brought something in the car for you, but it’s a secret. You can…”

“I don’t want to sleep with you.” Ryu repeated the question in disbelief because it seemed too absurd. He shook his head while rubbing his face.“I think your ability to draw conclusions isn’t very sharp right now,” Ryu said.“No!” Kyoko was obviously offended. Although it wasn't a direct insult, Ryu had implied that Kyoko was stupid.“Don’t be angry; I understand. I would be disappointed if your mind was entirely calm at the moment.” Ryu smiled with satisfaction.“I’m calm!” Kyoko retorted.“You just asked about my desire to sleep with you. I think that’s quite a disturbance that’s keeping you from being calm.” Ryu left his suitcase and approached Kyoko, who suddenly panicked and stepped back.“Don’t deny it. You won’t succeed in making me think otherwise.” Ryu chuckled softly at her panic.“I don&

“Don’t open it now. You’ll get wet.” Ryu raised the hood of Kyoko's raincoat just in time as a large amount of water splashed toward where they were sitting. It was as if someone had poured a giant bucket of water on them.The orca whale show they were watching involved jumping out of the water. Of course, when they fell back, they splashed a lot of water toward the audience.Ryu clapped like everyone else, appreciating the hard work of the giant mammals, but Kyoko didn’t clap at all—not even when the show ended.“Didn’t you like it?” Ryu inquired as they exited, discarding their soaked raincoats.Ryu grabbed a small towel handed out by the staff, then used it to dry Kyoko’s hair and neck. Although Ryu had covered her hoodie just in time, some parts of Kyoko’s hair and neck were still wet.“You don’t like aquariums. I’ll note all of that.” After waiting for a

"I want to go home."Kyoko suddenly spoke up just as Akiko finished applying pink lipstick to her lips.“Huh? Why? Did you forget something?” Akiko straightened up, confused, as she glanced at the kimono Kyoko would be wearing.Kyoko's kimono was simpler, with only a hair ornament as an accessory. It wasn’t as elaborate as the one Akiko had worn when she got married in Utoro.Ryu had planned for their wedding to be similar to Akiko’s, but they had compromised for a more modest ceremony at the city hall. Ryu knew Kyoko's feelings about temple buildings, so he wouldn't dare force anything. Besides, the reception would still happen; just the ceremony would be different.Nobody objected to the decision. Everyone agreed as long as the wedding took place, including Akiko. Even though her expensive kimono was a bit much for a city hall wedding, she was still happily helping Kyoko.“Everything's ready. I just need to pu

“You must be crazy!” Kyoko stood up and paced back and forth in the living room, trying to recall if there was any sign that Ryu wasn’t serious.But everything was serious. Ryu had even sent her a photo of the kimono he would wear on their wedding day. When Kyoko saw the photo, she thought Ryu was insane, as discussing kimono patterns would escalate their deception.In the end, Kyoko made her choice, wanting to end the pointless discussion. But it turned out that the discussion was important.“Are you just going to sit there?!” Kyoko yelled angrily, glaring at Ryu, who was calmly sipping beer and munching on peanuts he had brought earlier.“What do you want me to do?” Ryu frowned.“Cancel everything! Call them all! Cancel it!” Kyoko sat back down next to Ryu and then attacked him, reaching for his waist.“Hey, wait! Don’t get aggressive all of a sudden,” Ryu was, of cour
Do You Love Me, Uncle? #281 Extra 12 - We're Getting Married Tomorrow
Ryu shook his head, while effortlessly unlocking Kyoko's apartment door once more by simply inputting her birthday—the day after tomorrow.He had repeatedly reminded Kyoko to change the password, which was extremely easy to guess. Not just once—like when he first broke in to find the listening device—but several times since.Now, Kyoko no longer lives in Tokyo. Since becoming actively involved in Kuryugumi and assisting Kenji and Ryu, Kyoko had relocated to Osaka, where she now primarily worked.However, Kyoko hadn't been working regularly since visiting her parents, and no one was pressuring her to do so either. Kenji didn’t give any orders, leaving everything up to Ryu.The apartment’s security was truly weak, especially since there was still no sound, despite Ryu walking into the room for several moments. It was evident that Kyoko had fallen asleep due to the late hour. Ryu had come straight to the apartment after returnin
Do You Love Me, Uncle? #280 Extra 11 - It's Your Fault
Akiko adjusted herself in front of the mirror, gazing at the new kimono she would wear the day after tomorrow.The kimono was custom-made for her, so naturally, it fit perfectly. But Akiko wanted to see if the color matched her expectations. And indeed, everything was perfect. It fit her body beautifully and didn't feel heavy or hot, which was crucial considering it was still summer.The modern kimono, with a white base, was adorned with pink cherry blossoms. Akiko had even prepared hair accessories filled with cherry blossom designs to complete the look.She wasn’t wearing the hairpiece yet, but when she tried placing it on her head, the pink color matched perfectly with her black hair. Everything was set. She had also prepared clothes for Natsu and Kenji.BANG!Akiko flinched and dropped the hair accessory she was holding. The loud noise from the sliding door startled her.Luckily, Natsu was in the next room, so he wouldn’t be
