When Kanzaki Kumo appeared before Kanao, nothing else mattered. All the girl wanted at that moment was to snuggle with her big brother.
Faced with Kanao's wheedling words, Kanzaki Kumo naturally could not refuse. He opened his arms and held her close.
Kanzaki Kumo knew better than anyone how heavy Kanao's feelings for him were, so he understood all the more how difficult it was for her to remain so restrained after learning of Nezuko's intentions.
So, even though Nezuko was right in front of Kanzaki Kumo, he simply held Kanao and gently soothed her, without striking up a conversation with the girl who wanted to confess to him.
Nezuko merely watched the scene with a smile.
Back when she had tried to befriend Kanao, Nezuko had already noticed the immeasurable weight of her feelings for Kanzaki Kumo, so the scene before her came as no surprise.
Rather, if Kanzaki Kumo could put aside even Kanao's overwhelming feelings just to hear a confession from a girl who, so far, was not particularly close to him, then he would not be the Big Brother Yun she knew.
While Kanzaki Kumo and Kanao, the pair of "siblings," were snuggling, Makomo was met with a disdainful look from her close friend elsewhere.
After taking Kanzaki Kumo back to where Kanao and Nezuko were, Makomo headed to the meeting place she had arranged with the other girls.
"Big Sister Makomo, can you tell us how you taught that Kanzaki Kumo a lesson?"
The moment she saw Makomo, Shinobu Kocho asked.
Although explaining the situation to Mitsuri had let her vent some of her frustration, hearing that that scoundrel Kanzaki Kumo had suffered a setback was still the best way to dispel her gloom.
But faced with Shinobu Kocho's question, Makomo's gaze grew evasive.
