For the first meal to celebrate the move, it naturally had to be an extravagant one.
By the time Haru placed the final dish on the table, the dazzling array of colorful cuisine shimmered beneath the lights, almost glowing. With his Level 5 cooking skills fully unleashed, every dish he had p...

Cool-toned light poured over the cucumber vines growing in their potted bed. The green fruits, still clinging to the stalk, were tinged with a faint sheen of moisture from the damp early-winter air.

The train ride back from Ikebukuro wasn't particularly crowded.
Haru carefully leaned his packed "beloved wife's guitar" against the partition near the train door, then sat casually beside it. When he left the live house RiNG, it was already around six or seven in the evening.

Leaning against the wall, Haru suddenly spoke as if he had foreseen her intentions. His expression was unshakably resolute, earnest to a fault, leaving Taki frozen in place.
