Do You Love Me, Uncle? #74 Weird Situation
"Sorry, what?"Mori was confused by Sato’s words, and Akiko was too.Sato laughed. “I mean, I don’t want the Shingi Fusaya team to lose, and you’re needed on the field. Don’t disappoint me.”Sato corrected himself, pointing toward the field. He was still saying all of this with a smile. But somehow, Akiko felt that smile was dangerous. Sato seemed like the kind of person who would fire an employee with a sweet smile.Mori probably felt the same way because he finally let go of Akiko's hand and returned to the field. His face was still full of questions, but his authority wasn’t yet strong enough to challenge Sato.“You don’t need to escort—”Sato waved his hand, cutting off Akiko’s sentence. “No need to be so formal. Because I'm not participating in any competitions today, I'm escorting you to the tent. So, my job is to make sure you’re all safe, healthy, and

"What's wrong with Mori, anyway? He's actually pretty decent—wait, no, more than decent. He's quite handsome and smart, and frankly, his career at Shingi Fusaya has a bright future. There's nothing wrong with him," Kyoko said while sipping her drink.They were sitting in a café courtyard across from their office building, taking their lunch break. Kyoko might be brutal, but she would never dare to discuss Mori so openly at the office.“If you think he's perfect, why don't you go for him?” Akiko asked, half annoyed.“He’s not interested in me—thankfully. Kyoko shrugged. "And I'm not interested in three-dimensional men," she said.Akiko scoffed, unsurprised by Kyoko’s honesty. After getting to know her better, Akiko had learned that Kyoko was an otaku*. She preferred manga and anime characters over real people, which explained her bluntness when dealing with them.Her taste for men followed suit—

"I've already chosen the most beautiful one. You should be satisfied with my choice."Ryu tried to sound enthusiastic and cheerful when Kenji called him. It was meant to lessen Kenji's annoyance."This is the time you'd wish you were really a cat, so you'd have nine lives," Kenji said."Don't be like that. It's just a trial," Ryu complained.Of course, Kenji once again ignored the file containing information on women his father had deemed suitable to be his wife, which had been sent by his father.So, it was Ryu who ended up picking and setting up a meeting. If Masaki found out that Kenji hadn’t followed his orders again, it wouldn’t only be Kenji who’d be in trouble, but Ryu as well.Ryu was going through the trouble for his own peace of mind, too. He 'forced' Kenji to set aside time that afternoon to meet a woman—Ryu's choice.Kenji, of course, strongly disagreed, but he only found out about the schedule

"I can't. I'm sorry, Endo-san. I'm a bit busy tomorrow. One of my family members is visiting Tokyo, and I have to accompany them."Without blinking or hesitation, Akiko made up the lie instantly. It was because she was truly panicking. Who could've predicted that Endo would still pursue her after the Hanami event?Still with the same confidence, Endo suddenly approached her and asked her out. It was too bold.When she ran into Endo, Akiko was on her way to her usual office, after stopping by HR to submit her leave documents. The man asked to speak with her privately, and the conversation that followed was a disastrous idea.Akiko didn't feel like she gave Endo any green light to get closer. She truly didn't expect Endo to think she had enjoyed their conversation in Osaka. Akiko remembered that she had responded to Endo half-heartedly. The signals should have been clear.“Really? What a shame. How about Sunday?” Endo wasn’t g

And it's not just messy. Judging by his unsteady walk and red eyes, Akiko suspected Yuto was drunk. He remained steady enough to stand and identify her."Who is this?" Kyoko asked curiously.She had never seen or met Yuto, not even in passing, because Yuto usually waited for Akiko at the station near Kenji's house. This was Yuto's first time waiting for her at the station near Shingi Fusaya. Akiko had brought him here once before, so Yuto still remembered it."He's looking for you, isn't he?" Kyoko asked again, and Akiko just stood there silently, staring at the man now stumbling towards her."Ignore him. He's no one important." Akiko grabbed Kyoko's hand and walked away quickly.She didn't want to stop for Yuto. But the man was still fast enough. When he saw Akiko speed up, he ran and blocked her path. Akiko almost bumped into him."Akiko-chan, please. You have to listen to me," Yuto pleaded, his face desperate."Kyoko, do you

“What the hell?” Kyoko whispered in confusion, but when she saw Kaede almost running toward Akiko, she quickly understood. Kaede’s face looked terrifying.As Akiko looked at Kaede, she realized how small she was. Akiko knew she wasn’t a tall person—Kyoko was taller than her, and Kaede was even shorter. Akiko didn’t understand why she used to be so afraid of her. But not anymore. There was nothing to fear now. She didn’t need to act respectful towards Kaede or be mindful of her feelings. That wasn’t her responsibility anymore.“You wretched woman!” Kaede cursed as she swung her hand.“Hey!” Luckily, Kyoko was alert and caught the hand before it reached Akiko’s cheek. But Akiko wasn’t standing still like she used to; she stepped back to avoid it.“What are you doing? Trying to hurt someone in public?” Kyoko snapped, pushing Kaede’s hand down and giving her a slight shove. It didn’t matter how old Kaede was; she was aggressive in Kyoko’s eyes.“I just want to teach that wretched woman a

"The slut is finally showing her true colors. I'm relieved she no longer lives in this house." Kaede continued her rant all the way home. She kept on berating Akiko, even though Karin and Yuto didn't respond at all."Take him to his room," Kaede instructed the driver, who was helping Yuto inside.The driver nodded and carried Yuto to his room. Yuto had fallen asleep in the car after throwing a fit when he was taken to the clinic to treat his wound—which, as it turned out, wasn't deep, and he had calmed down. Yuto looked slightly confused as he glanced around, the alcohol's effects starting to wear off."You shouldn't have come earlier. In the end, you had to listen to that woman's vile words! Disgusting." Kaede stroked Karin's shoulder."You don't need to listen to her. It's clear Yuto would never go looking for her. I'm sure she seduced Yuto into coming to her. Shameless!" Kaede refused to hear or believe Akiko’s explanation that it was Yuto who sought her out, not the other way

“We need to meet.”“Who are you?” Kenji frowned, unable to recognize the voice or number calling him. Kenji rarely saved anyone's number on his phone because he was too lazy. That was Inoue's job.“Oh my God! It's Sakura. I'm your fiancée!” The voice on the other end screamed in frustration.“Oh, right. I remember.” Finally, Kenji managed to match the voice with a face.“Thank goodness. That's amazing,” Sakura remarked sarcastically.“How did you get my number?” When they first met, Kenji didn't remember them exchanging numbers. The meeting had been too brief and busy.“I got it from the omiai data my parents gave me. You should have mine too!” Sakura sounded exasperated.“Oh, I see.” Kenji wouldn't know, since he had never looked at any data from Sakura—except for the negative things Inoue had told him yesterday.“You really don't care about me, do you?” Sakura sounded amused.“Of course not. Isn't that how it should be?” Kenji's response was casual.“True. I don’t care about you eith

“Karin... she’s my aunt, isn’t she? My mother’s family?” Akiko repeated the question, finding it difficult to imagine her mother's sibling harboring the hatred Kenji had mentioned.“Yes. She’s your mother’s younger sister.”“But why does she hate me?”“I don’t know. I never asked. All I know is that she's cruel, and you don't need to see her or seek her out."Kenji was already making plans to ensure Akiko would never find her. He intended to send Karin far away, even farther than Abe.“Why is she cruel? She’s my aunt. We’re family.”In Akiko’s mind, family was supposed to love one another. She couldn't grasp the idea that family members could hate each other, especially now that they were alone.Akiko had only recently discovered her family on her father’s side, who were all gone now, and she’d hoped that Karin might

"Ishida? Who is Ishida? Who is Abe?" Akiko frowned, hearing unfamiliar names come out of Kenji's mouth."Ishida… Wait a minute." Doubt crept back into Kenji’s mind, especially as he remembered how much pain Akiko felt whenever she talked about her parents."How?" Akiko, impatient, tried to sit up, but Kenji held her down gently with an embrace, stroking her head."Just stay like this. I need you close to me," Kenji said, wanting to think as clearly as possible."What are you trying to say? What do you want to tell me?" Akiko stayed still but was clearly curious about those strange names."All of those names are part of a promise I made. I promised to tell you what really happened—why you had to leave Osaka, right?" Kenji replied.Convincing Akiko to leave Osaka for over two months had been no simple task. All of Kenji’s attempts and lies had failed to sway her, especially with Akiko’s pregnancy drawing closer t
Do You Love Me, Uncle? #270 Story About Us
Akiko initially didn’t want to follow them outside because she was too lazy to move, but after waiting for several minutes with no result, she finally stood up and walked out.There was a noisy conversation coming from outside, but Akiko only saw Kyoko and Shibata standing and staring at a car that had just arrived.Akiko recognized the car, and a bright smile spread across her face. She moved forward and saw Kenji standing next to the car.Akiko wanted to call out but stopped when she noticed his awkward expression, clearly forcing a smile. Akiko immediately smiled in amusement, knowing exactly who was in front of him. Miura was talking to him.Still stifling her laughter, Akiko approached, knowing that Kenji likely needed help dealing with Miura’s scolding.In the past two months, Kenji has visited the house several times. However, Miura had never had the opportunity to meet him, as his visits usually occurred late at night.

"GET OUT OF THE WAY!"Kenji shouted at the man recklessly blocking his path—the last of Abe's henchmen, standing in his way as he tried to leave the abandoned building. But the man was determined, so Kenji gave him what he wanted.With one swing, Kenji deflected the man's attack. On the second swing, Kenji slashed, leaving a large wound stretching from the man's left shoulder down to his stomach. Blood sprayed, and he collapsed instantly.It wasn't a major obstacle, but it slowed down Kenji's pace. Ryu ran past him, racing outside. Their target, now nearing the car, was on the verge of escape."Don’t let him get away!" Ryu shouted in panic, seeing Abe already inside his car. But Abe didn’t immediately try to escape. Once in the driver’s seat, he reached for something and extended his hand.Ryu's eyes widened as he saw the black object in Abe’s hand."RYU!" A warning shout came from behind him. Ryu felt himself b

As soon as Ryu mentioned "sister," Abe let go of Yui's head."Ishida only has one child," Abe frowned, looking at Ryu."Don't tell me you still believe that nonsense. Oh, for heaven's sake!" Kenji laughed mockingly."Your wife, she's an Ishida. You—""Who are you calling a wife? Who would marry that Black Rock? Disgusting!" Yui cut off Abe's sentence with a sneer. Now that she no longer had to pretend to be Akiko, she didn't want anyone calling her Kenji's wife. It was utterly repulsive to her.Kenji seemed ready to snap back, but Ryu nudged his side. This wasn’t the time for them to argue."She's not my wife, so clearly she's not an Ishida," Kenji stated. "You're completely wrong," Kenji clarified, aiming to simplify Abe's understanding and alleviate the confused expression on his face.Abe looked back and forth between Yui and Kenji several times."You've been watching her day and night when she left my house, but

"It doesn't seem swollen, but since you're in pain, it's better to be cautious when walking."As he explained, the doctor stared at Karin's foot in confusion. He saw no signs of a sprain or swelling on her ankle, but Karin kept insisting that her foot hurt.Following the procedure, he wrapped her foot with a plaster bandage and gave her advice, even though he couldn't determine the source of the pain."Come back if it's still hurting later tonight." The doctor handed Karin a cane to help her walk as she left the clinic.Of course, Karin didn't forget to bow and thank him, hurrying out so the doctor wouldn't get suspicious that she might be faking it."Ken!" Karin extended her hand to Ken, who was being carried by one of Tanaka's bodyguards."Sorry, but it might be better if I help you get home." The man bowed while still holding Kenzo in his arms. He assessed that Karin wouldn't be able to carry Kenzo in one hand, as she needed to use her ot

"Excuse me, is there a studio here for ikebana classes?" A woman pushing a stroller inquired as she approached the reception area."Are you a new participant looking to sign up?" The woman at the front desk looked excited."Yes, but I’m a complete beginner.""That’s no problem. We have classes for beginners, and after all, every expert started as an amateur." The receptionist smiled and handed over a form to fill out."But, excuse me, is it okay if I bring my baby? I don’t want to leave him at home alone." The woman hesitated, pointing at the stroller."Oh, of course! There's childcare for all participants. We have it set up because most of our students here are women. Hey there, handsome!"The receptionist waved at the baby, whose little hand reached out from the stroller, smiling at the movement in front of him."Thank goodness. I was worried I'd have to leave him." The mother took the form and sat down to st

"Did you kill him?" Ryu asked Yui, who was sitting in the back seat, tidying up her katana."No. The position wasn’t right. I didn’t want him attacking me when my arms were tired."Yui flexed her hands, squeezing the air to loosen up her muscles. Her arms were genuinely exhausted after a tense struggle with Ueda. The effort to break free had forced Yui to exert all her strength to maintain control of the hostage situation."He's crazy. I’m not sure I could beat him in a fair fight," Yui shaking her head.Ryu glanced at his sister through the rearview mirror. It was rare for her to admit someone else's strength so frankly. Yui often mocked Kenji, even though they were clearly equals."Is he that good?" Ryu asked."Yeah! He’s amazing! His arms can stretch like rubber, but he can’t swim and has no sense of direction. Still, he never loses in a fight. He’s awesome!"Ryu almost swerved off the road as Ky
Do You Love Me, Uncle? #254 Fixing Plan
Kyoko underestimated Ueda’s strength when drunk—or rather, he wasn’t as drunk as she had hoped. He was still incredibly strong.Kyoko’s plan was to make Ueda drink until he was too weak to force anything like what was happening now. Ueda was still moving with impressive precision, while Kyoko drifted in and out of consciousness. She continued to push him away, but her strength was probably half of what it normally was.Worse, Kyoko was still half-conscious, which made her fully aware of the fear each time Ueda touched her. Not being able to fight back while knowing she was on the brink of being assaulted by him was far worse.“Let go of me, you pig!” Kyoko screamed with all her might when she couldn’t break free from Ueda’s grip.“Why are you resisting? Didn’t we agree to this? You were the one who came onto me earlier,”Ueda whispered, lowering his face to try and press his ch
