A day had passed since Kai had a love-making session with Ibaraki. Their interaction was now better than before, and they got closer.
Just… something out of his control happened last night after he took a bath and got dressed. Amber suddenly told him that everything was ready, much to his confusion. Then she proceeded to tell him about what she had found out while he was having sex.
Then today, his grandfather was nowhere to be seen since morning, and he was forced to tend to the restaurant kitchen by himself.
"Finally! It's over!"
After grueling hours of cooking alone, he was finally able to rest. Because his bond with Ibaraki was also increased, his physical abilities were enhanced once again, and he could understand how to use the properties of her Spirit Power.
Still, even so, cooking alone was still demanding on his mind, and he slumped on the chair in front of the kitchen while trying to catch his breath.
