Stealing Spree

Chapter 2531 Home after a long day

By the time I got home, the house was still quite lively. Shio's car was outside. She did send me a message, but I read it late. She's coming by for dinner and some light drinking with Miwa-nee.

Of course, that meant she was also staying the night. Yae and Ririka, who were supposed to come and stay last weekend, pushed it to tomorrow.

Akane welcomed me by the door, playing her role as my housewife. I spoiled her for a bit before I caught sight of Minoru stepping out of the living room, calling us in.

As we walked into the living room, the familiar warmth of home wrapped around me like a blanket after a long day. The clatter of dishes and the savory aroma of something simmering drifted from the kitchen, mingling with the distinct fragrance of Akane, Miwa-nee and Shio.

Akane grabbed my bag from me and immediately put it down on the side table before returning to my side, nudging me toward the dining area with a playful smile.

"Ruru, hurry up. The food is going to go cold. Bring Minoru with you." Shio, who was donning an apron on top of her office attire, stepped out of the kitchen with hands on her hips.

Miwa-nee, who had just placed a pot on our dining table, also turned towards us.

"Minoru's been whining about his stomach for the last ten minutes."
