(After spending a fun time, filled with laughter and embarrassment at the hot springs, Misaki's family car returned on its way home, with Ahmed. The atmosphere inside was full of cheerfulness and calm, but what was on the minds of the two was completely different.
Misaki sat near the window, a small smile barely leaving her lips, and whenever she remembered Ahmed's flustered and embarrassed features in that situation, she would cover her mouth with her hand, trying to suppress her laugh. Her eyes sparkled with a mix of happiness and amusement.
As for Ahmed, he sat quietly next to the children, looking at the road ahead from time to time, but his mind was preoccupied with what Misaki had said. He remembered her bold words, asking him to show her his muscles, and his face would blush again as he tried to get the thought out of his head. However, the second part of her request—to prepare a Yemeni seafood dish—ignited enthusiasm within him. He imagined himself in the kitchen, preparing the ingredients, and he saw Misaki tasting his new Yemeni food, and a strange feeling of both pride and shyness overcame him.)
