Due to the quite considerable distance and the noisy banquet scene, Mukiwa couldn't clearly hear what Aoto and Toshisuke were discussing.
She only saw Toshisuke flash a bright smile at Aoto and throw an unreadable glance full of emotion in Aoto's direction.
Aoto, locking eyes with Toshisuke, slowly revealed a gentle smile as well.
Although one could barely use "they have always had a good relationship" to explain it... Mukiwa somehow felt inexplicably uneasy and restless...
At that moment, a particularly terrifying thought floated into Mukiwa's mind...
——Could it be... no way...?
In an instant, Mukiwa turned pale.
Despite her lack of worldly experience, and not being particularly knowledgeable about matters between men and women due to her naturally shy nature, Mukiwa knew what "shudo" meant...
Since the Warring States Period three hundred years ago, shudo has been very popular among the Military Family.
Aoto and Mr. Chokata are both samurai...
