After helping Makomo get dressed and asking for another good-morning kiss, he left the bedroom with her.
By then, the others at the Butterfly Mansion had also begun emerging from their bedrooms.
Shinobu Kocho and the other girls looked at Makomo, who exuded a different sort of charm, each with her own feelings.
Looking next at Kanzaki Kumo, who said something to Makomo, greeted them as well, and then entered his own bedroom, and at Shinobu Kocho, who had come out of her bedroom alone, their feelings grew even more complicated.
In particular, when Kanzaki Kumo pushed open his bedroom door, Shinobu Kocho vaguely caught sight of a pile of shredded fabric in a very familiar color.
If not for her sister, she would have grabbed Kanzaki Kumo by the collar right then and demanded whether he knew how to treat a woman gently.
Kanzaki Kumo: Believe it or not, if I stood on tiptoe just a little, you wouldn't be able to reach my collar.
Shinobu Kocho: Is that the point?!
When Kanzaki Kumo emerged from the bedroom with a fully dressed Kanae, Shinobu Kocho, who had been waiting outside the door the whole time, forcibly squeezed between them, hooked her arm through her sister's, and led her away.
All they left behind was a somewhat haughty, angry "Hmph!" and an apologetic look from Kanae.
Although Kanzaki Kumo did not understand why Shinobu Kocho had suddenly puffed up with anger, he did not mind her interrupting his tender time with Kanae.
It wasn't as though she could monopolize Kanae all day anyway.
For the sake of that "very charming" outfit she had provided last night, he would forgive her.
"Wait, the outfit..."
Kanzaki Kumo looked back at the pile of shredded fabric he had casually tossed into the corner
