Do You Love Me, Uncle? のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 271 - チャプター 280

"Don't throw the water away. It's challenging to reheat the water.Ryu regretted that Kyoko had just spat out the warm water. With limited resources, Ryu had to heat it using a bottle, being cautious not to break it.But Kyoko didn't care about the water. Wiping her lips, she looked at Ryu, who had already sat back down. His face was calm, showing no sign of the madness Kyoko had initially assumed when he mentioned marriage."Has the cold air shrunk your brain?" Kyoko asked with a puzzled look."It's cold this morning, but my brain is fine. This fire kept me warm last night."Ryu pointed to the fireplace, which smelled even more delicious as the rabbit meat was nearly cooked."If your brain is still functioning normally, why do you talk like you're drunk? What is the connection between marriage and murder?" Kyoko was on the verge of losing her temper, but her curiosity outweighed everything else.Ryu laughed at the irony of Kyoko thin

"Hmm..." Ryu let out a hum of curiosity."What is it that you want to say? Just say it." Kyoko wasn’t angry, just tense.It was her first time returning home after nearly eight years, and the circumstances were not good. Kyoko needed to calm herself before they entered the house."You lived in a shrine?"Ryu pointed at the Torii—the red Shinto gate that marked the boundary between the sacred area and the human dwelling, located near where they had stopped, just as Kyoko had directed.They had flown to Fukuoka that morning, as it was quite a distance from Osaka. Ryu doubted Kyoko would stop just anywhere, but he definitely wasn’t prepared to stop in front of a shrine."Yes, I used to live there." Kyoko got out of the car, and Ryu followed, glancing around.The shrine was near the sea. Aside from the smell, Ryu could even hear the waves crashing as they climbed the short staircase."I’m surprised," Ryu adm

Kyoko eyed the figure lying on its side on the ship's deck with its eyes closed. She said nothing, but seeing him so helpless like that didn’t make her feel nauseous anymore.There was no chance that man could hurt her, and her nausea vanished, even though the place she was standing kept swaying due to the high waves.“Damn it!” Ryu cursed, which surprised her. He rarely cursed, but this time he felt compelled to do so due to his seasickness. Ryu had never been on a ship before in his life, and now he realized it was a terrible idea. After this, he swore he’d never travel by sea again."Weak," Kenji mocked, even as he extended a seasickness pill to him.“Huh? You brought this?” Ryu was obviously shocked.“No. I found it over there. You share the same ailment as whoever usually rides this ship.” Kenji gestured towards the supply box that was located near the helm.“Oh. Not feeling touched anymore.” Ryu had almost felt moved by Kenji’s gesture

After walking for quite some time, Kyoko finally found the main occupants of the mansion near the central garden. Akiko was playing with Natsu in the middle of the garden."Kyoko-chan!" Akiko waved at her, while Natsu, standing in front of her, suddenly plopped down on the ground. But the baby didn’t cry; he turned and smiled brightly, greeting Kyoko like he would his mother."Hi... kid."Kyoko greeted him casually while ruffling Natsu's hair. She wasn’t very fond of children. Unlike Ryu—or Yui, who hated the idea of pregnancy but became attached to Natsu the moment he entered the world—Kyoko still didn’t know how to act around children.She didn’t dislike Natsu, but she didn’t force herself to be enthusiastic either. Natsu didn’t seem to mind that attitude. Kyoko noticed that he would always run towards her every time she visited.Kyoko was grateful for that. At least it seemed the child would be fri

Akiko adjusted herself in front of the mirror, gazing at the new kimono she would wear the day after tomorrow.The kimono was custom-made for her, so naturally, it fit perfectly. But Akiko wanted to see if the color matched her expectations. And indeed, everything was perfect. It fit her body beautifully and didn't feel heavy or hot, which was crucial considering it was still summer.The modern kimono, with a white base, was adorned with pink cherry blossoms. Akiko had even prepared hair accessories filled with cherry blossom designs to complete the look.She wasn’t wearing the hairpiece yet, but when she tried placing it on her head, the pink color matched perfectly with her black hair. Everything was set. She had also prepared clothes for Natsu and Kenji.BANG!Akiko flinched and dropped the hair accessory she was holding. The loud noise from the sliding door startled her.Luckily, Natsu was in the next room, so he wouldn’t be
