Chapter 2263: Rare Jealousy



Upon exiting the station, I decided to go home first to check on Akane and drop the bag that I brought with me. I couldn't just come to meet Eimi with it still hanging on my shoulder, right?

Besides, with Akane's period already here, she might shrivel up in here like a plant that hadn't been watered by my presence.

"I'm home," I said as I opened the door and noticed Akane not waiting for me.

It was a little strange but my silly wife's voice soon echoed from inside. I could tell from the echo where she was.

"Welcome back, husband!"

In the bathroom, right?

"Akane, are you okay?" I called out as I headed down the hallway and into the living room.

"Un! It's just... it was leaking. Ugh... I hate this, husband. I haven't greeted you by the door and now..."

As always, despite sounding so frustrated, her clinginess was once again becoming amplified. I dropped my bag on the side and then went into the kitchen to place the food I packed for her. Rumi didn't mind when she saw me making more than what we were going to eat earlier. My girls were already so used to my considerate trait that they were probably starting to assume that anything I did that was unexplainable might be tied to my consideration to one of them or someone I was close to.

Which wasn't wrong at all.

After that, I walked towards our bathroom to check on Akane. Ready to assist her if she needed one. I could already imagine her flustered face and the mess she was in, trying to deal with the monthly inconvenience alone.

As I walked in, I pushed the door gently, just in case she didn't want me dealing with it.

But not hearing any protest from inside, I stepped in.

And there she was, sitting on the edge of the tub.

She was already dressed but it looked like she couldn't stand up from there. "H-husband..." Upon seeing me, her eyes became watery as she stretched her arms up. She looked like a kitten in distress, waiting for me to pick her up. My chest twinged slightly as I couldn't stop my heart from melting at the sight of her vulnerability.

"What's wrong? Is it hurting too much?" I rushed over to Akane, wrapping my arms around her in a gentle embrace. She wrapped her arms around my waist and buried her face on my chest, rubbing it.

"It's just... it's so annoying, husband." She answered with her voice tinged with frustration. "And messy."

"Well, you aren't used to it yet?" I playfully asked as combed her golden hair to lighten up the atmosphere.

"Husband, what if I miss you?"

"You always miss me, silly girl." I chuckled as my fingers ran through her soft hair, combing them gently, "But you know I'll always be just a phone call away, right? We can also try calling Fuyu. That girl is always worried for you. And I'm sure I have to rely on her again tomorrow to look after you at school."

Hearing Fuyu's name, Akane pouted slightly, "I don't need anyone else to look after me. I'm your wife. Fuyu is trying to steal you from me, husband."

Look at her, now her jealousy was also amplified. But really, she's quite adorable like this.

"No one's going to steal me, silly girl. I'm both yours, remember?" I whispered into her ear,

causing her to squirm a bit on my lap.

"I know, but I can't help. I'm now getting jealous of Fuyu."

Seeing Akane pout more, I thought I should make this more interesting.

I pulled out my phone and videocalled Fuyu.

In less than a few seconds, my girl's beautiful face popped up on the screen.

Smiling as soon as she saw me, the girl greeted me in high spirits, "Hello, Ruki-kun, what's this call about? Is this the part where you're going to say you miss me and you want to see me

as soon as possible?"

... Alright. If I didn't know any better, I might think that she's also suffering from the same quirk as Akane but she probably already guessed my reason for calling her.

Down below, Akane's eyes went wide with jealousy. She tried to reach for my phone but I just

raised my arm.

"I do miss you and I want to see you as soon as possible. But Fuyu, I've got a favor to ask. You know, it's that time of the month. Akane's feeling a bit under the weather today, so could you

check on her today?"

With her eyes flashing a meaningful glint Fuyu's smile didn't waver. "This guy, do you even have to ask me that? Of course, I can. It's Akane. I'll always take care of her. Where is she by the way? Sulking on your lap?"

Alright. Looks like my girls were all on their way to becoming psychics. How was she so spot

on?
