"Then... alright."
Satou thought about it and nodded.
It was clearly winter, and being completely soaked was indeed very uncomfortable.
Although his current physical fitness far exceeded that of ordinary people, he wouldn't catch a cold, but being so wet would feel uncomfortable, and the rain was getting heavier and heavier, with no telling when it would stop.
"Mm."
Kasumigaoka Utaha nodded, then pulled Satou's hand, ran under the eaves, took out her keys from her pocket, and prepared to open the door.
"Wait a minute, there's no one at my house. So, it'll just be Younger brother-kun and me? A pair of cold, rain-soaked people, alone together in a warm room..."
Kasumigaoka Utaha's face instantly turned red, and the hand opening the door also trembled, suddenly realizing she felt a bit flustered.
Satou looked at Kasumigaoka Utaha, who had her back to him and was muttering something again, feeling a bit speechless, wondering if this dried-up Senior was acting crazy again.
"Alright, come in."
Kasumigaoka Utaha opened the door, glanced at Satou behind her, and tried her best to appear calm.
"Okay."
Satou nodded and followed her inside.
Kasumigaoka Utaha turned on the light in the entryway, took off her boots, revealing her wet black-stockinged feet, leaving two cute little footprints on the floor.
Just then, a middle-aged woman's voice suddenly rang out from the stairs.
"Utaha, is that you back?"
"It's... Mom, why is she home today?"
Kasumigaoka Utaha's face flushed, feeling a bit guilty, then called towards the staircase, "Yes, Mom, it's me. I'm back."
"If it's inconvenient, I'll just leave?" Satou asked softly.
"It's fine, come in."
Kasumigaoka Utaha said, she couldn't possibly send Satou back now. "But don't leave your shoes at the door."
She lowered her voice, "My mother might see them in the living room. Let's go to my room instead."
"I understand."
Satou nodded, then took off his shoes, held them in his hand, and tiptoed up the stairs, following Kasumigaoka Utaha.
Suddenly, he felt something was off. What? He felt like he was having a secret affair. They went up to the second floor, to a room around the corner. That should be... Kasumigaoka Utaha's room.
Kasumigaoka Utaha opened the door and had just turned on the light when she suddenly remembered something, quickly pushed Satou, and said, "Um... wait a moment, you should avoid this for a bit..."
