"Huh? What's wrong?"
Erina Nakiri, who was squatting down to help Satou take off his shoes, looked up at him, a little puzzled.
"Nothing."
Satou shook his head.
Erina Nakiri quickly helped Satou take off his shoes and put on slippers, then pressed him onto the sofa to sit down, saying happily, "Would you like some tea? It's freshly brewed."
Then she poured him a cup of fragrant green tea.
Satou picked up the teacup, took a sip, and it was delicious.
"Are there any clothes that need to be washed?"
Erina Nakiri opened Satou's suitcase and started rummaging through it.
"Oh, right, I haven't put away my luggage yet."
Satou stood up, but unexpectedly, Erina Nakiri immediately pressed him back onto the sofa.
"You just got back, just sit and drink tea, I'll help you pack your luggage."
She said.
"Alright."
Satou had no choice but to sit down, drinking tea while watching Erina Nakiri busy herself.
Hmm, the current Erina Nakiri looked more like a housewife.
"Oh, right, are you hungry? Do you want me to make something for you to eat?"
Erina Nakiri, having finished her tasks, seemed to remember something and asked happily.
"No need, I just had a bento on the train."
Satou said, the bento on the Neon train was still very delicious.
"Is that so? Then how about a hot bath? I've already heated the water."
Erina Nakiri suddenly thought of something, her eyes lit up, and she asked with anticipation.
"...No need."
Satou said, seeing the Tsundere acting like a domestic wife, he really hadn't gotten used to it yet.
"What's wrong? Is what I'm doing not good?"
Erina Nakiri immediately sounded a little wronged.
"How could that be? You're doing great."
Satou quickly said, "It's just, why did you suddenly become so... so virtuous as soon as I came back?"
Erina Nakiri's face immediately flushed red, and she shyly whispered, "Because... because Grandpa mentioned... marriage last time."
"So you're so impatient, you've started practicing your housewife skills?"
Satou couldn't help but laugh when he heard that, but even though he was amused, he was still very touched.
"That... that's not it at all!"
Erina Nakiri, her face red, softly retorted.
"It's just, if Grandpa really wants us to get married next year, as the family heir, it wouldn't be good for me to refuse."
She lowered her head and whispered.
Satou looked at her, finding it quite amusing, and asked, "Are you really that eager to get married?"
"That... that's not it, we're still too young, aren't we? To get married, at least... at least we should wait a few years, right?"
Erina Nakiri, her face flushed with shyness, looked at him.
Besides, you haven't even formally proposed to me yet.
She said in her heart.
"The Head Chef probably just said that, at least we have to wait until we graduate, right?"
Satou said.
"That's true."
Erina Nakiri tilted her head, thought for a moment, then nodded.
"Oh, right."
She suddenly thought of something and said, "How about I give you a shoulder massage?"
"Huh? You can give massages too?"
Satou was a little surprised.
"Mm, I just learned, Hisako said I'm very qualified."
Erina Nakiri smiled slightly, then walked behind Satou and began to massage him with her soft, boneless, fair, tender hands.
Satou enjoyed her massage, and he had to admit, it was indeed quite comfortable.
However, during the days he was away, Erina Nakiri seemed to have learned quite a few housewife skills.
Sure enough, the Tsundere was still the same, saying she didn't want to get married, but secretly started learning housewife skills.
It must be that Erina Nakiri hadn't experienced much family affection since she was young, so she yearned for family life, right?
However, seeing such a virtuous and sensible Tsundere, Satou began to feel a little guilty.
He felt that it was really inappropriate for him to be so indecisive with so many girls.
But if he did that, he would be letting down the other girls.
He felt that he really wasn't a good man.
"Oh, right, Erina, do you not have work today?"
He asked casually.
"Mm, I've temporarily pushed it off."
Erina Nakiri said while carefully massaging his shoulders.
Satou nodded, thinking how fast time passed.
Just one semester ago, Erina Nakiri was still living with him with a look of disdain, but now, she was serving tea and massaging his shoulders, already like a young wife.
Thinking of this, Satou couldn't help but hold Erina Nakiri's small hand, then pulled her into his arms.
Erina Nakiri had a premonition, and her cheeks flushed shyly, she whispered, "It's not good in broad daylight, it's improper, let's do it at night."
Satou looked at her, a little amused, and said, "There's no one else here, what are you afraid of?"
"But... Mmm..."
Erina Nakiri wanted to say something more, but the next moment her mouth was covered.
In the afternoon, Satou went to his Apartment.
As soon as he opened the bathroom door, a dark shadow pounced.
Tohru pushed Satou to the ground, stuck out her tongue, and licked his face, her cute face showing an extremely joyful smile, her small fangs sharp.
"This is great, Satou, you're finally back!"
"Satou, Satou. I want fried rice."
Kanna trotted over, squatted down, and pushed him, saying.
"I know."
Satou smiled helplessly, but he hadn't seen them for a long time, and he missed them very much in his heart.
Sitting on the sofa, Tohru hugged Satou's arm and refused to let go, wishing she could stick her whole body to him, her face full of happy smiles.
Kanna also leaned her head on his thigh, eating snacks and watching TV, her fluffy little tail wagging, looking very cute.
Satou was held by Tohru so tightly that he couldn't breathe, feeling both helpless and amused.
Just like that, Satou spent the entire afternoon with them.
"Congratulations to the host for passing the exam and starting the next semester. You have received a semester gift package reward. Would you like to claim it?"
As evening approached, the system's voice sounded.
"Semester gift package?"
Satou was stunned for a moment, but then he became curious, wondering what he would get this time.
"Tohru, I'm going to leave for a moment."
Satou said.
"Mm, come back quickly, okay?"
Tohru said reluctantly.
"Okay."
Satou nodded, then came to the Tsundere's kitchen and said, "Open it."
