Fushimi Roku hung up Kujo Yua's call and went back to the kitchen to busy himself, planning to reheat the leftovers… being out all night gets this kind of treatment, if you want fresh food, you should have come home last night.
Before he was done, Minamoto Tamako's call came through, and she opened with: "Are you hiding something from me?"
The atmosphere turned tense, as if she was catching him cheating.
Fushimi Roku wasn't intimidated, he casually deflected: "We'll talk when you get home, it's hard to explain over the phone." Then he promptly hung up.
Minamoto Tamako didn't understand why it was hard to explain over the phone, assuming Fushimi-kun was just saving on phone bills. He was finally considering the household costs, since the monthly expenses aren't small!
She hurried home, kicked off her shoes at the door, and shouted: "I'm home! Sakurako, are you here?"
Fushimi Roku, wearing an apron, brought the food to the dining table: "She's not here."
