Time slowly passed.
Outside the window, the sun shone brightly, and clouds drifted lazily.
An hour later.
In the apartment's living room.
"!!!"
Kasumigaoka Utaha's pretty face was beet red.
She shot Lin an annoyed glance.
She quickly got up and went to the bathroom.
Looking at herself in the mirror, she could feel her face burning.
She couldn't believe she had done something so bold right after starting to date Lin.
Knock, knock, knock.
Just then, a knock sounded at the door.
Lin's voice came through:
"Need my help?"
"N-no, I don't..."
Hearing this, Kasumigaoka Utaha's face flushed even redder, and she quickly refused.
If she let Lin in, there was no telling what might happen next.
Lin: "Alright then. If you're okay, I'll be heading out."
"Fine, you can go..."
Remembering the ridiculous things that had just happened, Kasumigaoka Utaha found it a little difficult to face Lin right now, so she agreed.
"Okay, bye-bye."
Hearing her reply, Lin said his goodbye, turned, and walked toward the door, preparing to return to his place.
"Phew..."
Sensing that Lin had left, Kasumigaoka Utaha breathed a sigh of relief.
She then continued to wash up.
As she washed, the scenes from before seemed to replay before her eyes.
Her gaze flickered involuntarily.
Her heart couldn't help but beat a little faster.
Thinking of certain 'premium content' scenes, Kasumigaoka Utaha suddenly felt a bit hot.
...
After leaving Kasumigaoka Utaha's apartment, Lin went straight to the station and took the train back to his home in Nerima Ward.
On the way, Lin took out his phone.
He contacted Machida Sonoko.
About twenty minutes later.
As Lin arrived near his residence.
A very familiar figure appeared in his line of sight.
She had silvery-white hair that faded to purple at the tips.
Her hair was styled in twintails.
Each twintail was adorned with three beads.
She looked to be only about 1.2 meters tall.
She was wearing a cute, lacy dress in white and pink.
Her face was round and full of baby fat.
Her chubby 'little short legs' were clad in white thigh-high stockings.
The space between her skirt hem and stockings formed an 'absolute territory'.
She had small white dragon horns on her head.
Behind her was a thin tail, the end of which looked like a purple puffball.
She looked incredibly cute.
She was none other than the little chubby dragon, Kanna.
Her full name is 'Kanna Kamui.'
Right now, Kanna was standing by the side of the road.
She seemed a bit lost.
So, Lin walked over.
He approached Kanna and said with a smile:
"You're looking for Tohru, right?"
"Lady Tohru!"
When Kanna heard the name 'Tohru', her eyes instantly lit up.
She quickly looked toward Lin.
"Do you know where Lady Tohru is?"
She looked at Lin with anticipation.
"Tohru is at my place."
Lin smiled faintly at her.
"Take me there!"
Kanna lifted her head, her wide eyes staring intently at Lin.
"Follow me."
Lin turned and started walking toward his home.
Kanna hurriedly scurried after Lin on her chubby little legs.
Perhaps it was because Lin had a kind face.
Kanna didn't suspect him.
Of course, there might have been other reasons.
Three minutes later, at his residence.
Just as Lin opened the door, Tohru hurried from the living room to the entryway, a brilliant, happy smile on her face as she said:
"Lin, you're back!"
"I'm back."
Lin smiled and nodded.
Then he added, "Tohru, look who's here to see you."
"Who?"
Tohru was a little curious.
Just as she faintly sensed a familiar presence, Lin stepped aside, revealing Kanna behind him.
"Lady Tohru!"
Seeing Tohru, a look of pleasant surprise appeared on Kanna's face.
A faint smile emerged.
"Kanna..."
"What are you doing here?"
Seeing Kanna, Tohru couldn't help but look puzzled.
"Let's talk inside."
Lin said with a smile.
"Okay. Come on in, Kanna."
Tohru smiled at Kanna.
Kanna looked at Tohru, then at Lin, and finally nodded, following them into the house.
The three of them entered the living room.
"Lin..."
Akasha, Akashiya Moka, Shuzen Akua, and Shuzen Kokoa were all in the living room and turned to look at Lin.
When they saw Kanna, they were immediately a bit puzzled and curious.
From her appearance, she also seemed to be a dragon.
She just looked very young.
Tohru looked at Akasha and the others. "Let me introduce you. This is Kanna Kamui. Like me, she's a dragon."
"Hello, Kanna."
Akasha looked at Kanna, greeting her with a gentle smile.
Akashiya Moka and the others also greeted Kanna.
"..."
Kanna glanced at them.
Then she looked at Tohru. "Lady Tohru, come back with me."
"Kanna..."
Tohru was slightly taken aback.
Seeing this, Akasha and the others had a peculiar look in their eyes.
They didn't seem to mind that Kanna had ignored their greetings.
"Well, we'll head upstairs then."
Akasha said with a smile, standing up and leading the way to the second floor.
She was leaving the first-floor space for them.
Akashiya Moka, Shuzen Akua, and Shuzen Kokoa nodded to Lin and followed her upstairs.
Lin, however, stayed behind.
"Lady Tohru..."
Seeing that Tohru hadn't replied, Kanna called out to her again.
Tohru looked at Kanna and said with a faint smile, "Sorry, Kanna, but I'm staying here. You should go back by yourself."
"Why?"
Kanna looked at Tohru, confused.
"Because..."
Tohru turned her head to look at Lin, a shy blush appearing on her face. She scratched her head and said with a smile:
"I love Lin, so I'm going to live with him."
"Yappari (Just as I thought)!"
Kanna immediately turned to look at Lin.
Staring at Lin with her large, sea-blue gradient eyes, she declared:
"I knew your relationship with Lady Tohru wasn't ordinary! Break up with her right now and give her back to me."
"I can't do that."
Sitting on the sofa, Lin smiled faintly. "Even if Tohru wanted to leave me, I wouldn't let her."
"Tohru is mine, forever."
"Lin!!!"
Hearing Lin's domineering and possessive words, Tohru's eyes widened slightly as she gazed at him with a look of pure joy.
She didn't feel the slightest bit of resentment.
On the contrary, she loved this possessiveness he showed for her.
It meant that Lin loved her deeply.
