After emerging from the Kamui Dimension, it was already late at night.
Yuzuru returned to the courtyard and found that the room where Kushina lived was still lit.
Yuzuru walked over, saw that the door was open, and went straight inside.
Inside, Kushina was sprawled across the table, sleeping soundly.
Seeing this, Yuzuru stepped forward, gently picked Kushina up, and placed her on the bed.
However, while he was covering her with a blanket, their bodies accidentally brushed against each other, startling Kushina awake.
When she saw Yuzuru, Kushina froze for a moment, then crossed her arms over her chest. "Y-Yuzuru, why are you here? What were you doing just now?"
Seeing Kushina's guarded expression, Yuzuru said flatly, "When someone covers you with a blanket while you're asleep, you should say thank you, not ask why they're here or what they were doing. That's just ungrateful."

Under Yuzuru's gaze, Kushina dazedly said, "Th-thank you..."
Seeing that Kushina had already forgotten to press the matter, Yuzuru changed the subject. "Kushina, why did you fall asleep at the table with the door open?"
Kushina explained, "I heard that you were back, so I waited for you at home."
"You don't have to wait for me from now on. When I get back, I'll definitely come see you first." Yuzuru stroked Kushina's hair. "Even if you're asleep, I'll sneak in to see you."
At that, Kushina's little face flushed red, and she puffed out her cheeks. "Pervert!"
Yes, that was exactly the feeling.
Yuzuru smiled in satisfaction. "It's too late today. Go to sleep first. We'll eat together tomorrow."
"Got it. I'll call Mikoto too."
"Such a good girl."
"Peh!"
After chatting with Kushina for a while, Yuzuru returned to his own room.
