Having "battled" through the entire night,
Amaha Byakuya was still energetic as ever—after all, he possessed the body of Six Paths.
Meanwhile, Akira Mado was already exhausted. Combined with the alcohol, she had fallen into a deep sleep in Byakuya's arms.
Kureo Mado and Kasuka Mado didn't come to disturb Byakuya and Akira.
Kasuka Mado prepared two breakfasts and left them at the door.
She figured that barring anything unexpected, Byakuya and Akira probably wouldn't wake up until at least noon.
So she put the breakfast in special insulated containers. When Byakuya and Akira woke up hungry, they could have breakfast first to tide themselves over.
...
Sure enough, Akira Mado didn't wake up until noon.
And Amaha Byakuya had stayed to sleep beside her until now.
Upon opening her eyes, Akira Mado found herself lying in Amaha Byakuya's arms.
Though she didn't show resistance, her first reaction was surprise.
Probably due to the alcohol's effects, her mind wasn't clear when she first woke up, and she couldn't remember what had happened last night.
But she quickly remembered.
She had done that kind of thing with Byakuya for the first time...
"Already awake?"
At that moment, hearing Byakuya's voice,
Akira Mado sat up, but she didn't get out of bed right away. Instead, she gave Byakuya a kiss.
"Good morning, darling."
Akira's tone was extremely gentle, just like her lips...
This sequence of moves left Byakuya slightly stunned for a moment before he smiled. "Good morning."
...
After washing up and cleaning the sheets and blankets, Amaha Byakuya finally opened the bedroom door.
As expected, he found food that someone had prepared in advance at the doorway.
Amaha Byakuya knew this had been left by Kasuka Mado, as he had heard the movement early in the morning.
At that moment, Akira Mado also came out and saw this.
She spoke slowly. "It seems Dad and Mom already know what happened..."
"After all, we were rather loud last night..."
Amaha Byakuya laughed.
"But it doesn't matter. There's nothing to hide about this sort of thing. So they know—so what."
Akira Mado didn't particularly mind.
"Let's eat something first. We can talk after."
Amaha Byakuya said.
"Mm."
Akira Mado nodded slightly.
...
Leaving the bedroom, they could see Kureo Mado sitting in the living room reading the newspaper, while Kasuka Mado was in the kitchen preparing lunch.
"You're up. Perfect timing—lunch is almost ready. Just sit for a moment."
Seeing Byakuya and Akira, Kureo Mado said immediately.
He didn't mention what had happened last night.
Before long, Kasuka Mado came out of the kitchen carrying dishes.
"Byakuya, Akira—did you sleep well? And you've eaten the two breakfasts left at the door, right?"
Kasuka Mado asked.
"Yes, I slept very well. We've already brought down the insulated containers from the door."
Amaha Byakuya replied.
"I'm fine too..."
Akira Mado said.
Her physical constitution was quite excellent, with strong recovery. She didn't feel any discomfort after waking up.
"Good. It's great that you got enough rest. Young people really do have such vigorous energy."
Kasuka Mado's face showed a meaningful smile, her words clearly carrying a double meaning.
