Narrator's POV

Hakuji went to bed early to avoid feeling tired the next day. Morning arrived sooner than expected, but he still took Akaza to the nearby park. Upon arrival, Hakuji laid a blanket on the grass and unpacked a basket filled with food and snacks. Akaza still in a sleepy haze still was slowly taking in his surroundings.

Hakuji couldn't help but smirk at Akaza's disheveled appearance, which ultimately led him to burst into laughter at his younger brother. It was the laughter that brought Akaza back to reality, prompting him to glare at his brother and shout at him in anger. Unbeknownst to them, Kokushibo and Yorrichi were observing from the distance. The two brothers approached the Soyama siblings, with Yorrichi arriving first and Kokushibo following closely behind.

Akaza was surprised to see Yorrichi and Kokushibo at the park. As the four of them spent the day together, time flew by, filled with laughter and enjoyment. When it was time to part ways, Yorrichi confessed to Hakuji about his brother's feelings for Akaza. Hakuji supported the relationship between his brother and Kokushibo. Once they were both on the same page, the two quickly hurried back to reunite with their siblings to avoid raising any suspicions.

Kokushibo expressed his admiration for everything about me—my smile, my tattoos, and my moral compass. He even declared his desire to be with me for the rest of his life.
