Furina, who had been suddenly attacked by Yuto once again, was momentarily dazed. She turned her head blankly, looking at Yuto so close to her, and was somewhat stunned.
She had just… been kissed again?
The distance seems quite suitable, should I… wait? What am I thinking?
The girl's thoughts were in a tangled mess. After a brief period of wild speculation… Furina finally gave up thinking and chose to turn off her microphone.
Perhaps because she was close to the stove, Furina didn't realize how red her face was at that moment.
From Yuto's perspective, Furina at this moment looked like a kettle about to boil, with steam already visible above her head.
Of course, the steam was actually coming from the pot of food simmering beside Furina.
Looking at Furina, whose small face was flushed, Yuto felt an urge to… bite her for the first time.
Although it sounded exaggerated, he really wanted to hug Furina tightly and cuddle with her right now.
However…
"Is this a bit perverted?"
Yuto tilted his head slightly, then dismissed the thought, which even he found a bit perverted, and instead pressed his face against Furina's cheek.
Relatively speaking… Yuto's face temperature was lower than Furina's, so at the moment of their contact, Furina's face temperature should have dropped.
But the truth was… Furina's face temperature not only didn't drop but rose even faster.
Feeling the girl's gradually accelerating heartbeat in his arms, Yuto gently rubbed her cheek, then whispered:
"Are these… all things you saw in those books?"
"…Mm."
Furina nodded, her small face flushed.
She usually observed Yuto cooking in secret and would use some kitchen utensils. Under the guidance of recipes, she wouldn't make anything too outlandish.
After being influenced by those Inazuma light novels and local Fontaine Operas about love… Furina seemed to have her own understanding of how love is expressed.
Previously, she wanted to do things for Yuto, not only to increase the time she spent with him but also to figure out how she should get along with Yuto in the future.
And so… she thought of this.
Whether it was leaving a lamp on for her husband who was out working, or preparing a delicious dinner for him when he came home from work…
In Furina's eyes, these were all part of her "love cultivation."
Although the term was strange, it was the only one that could accurately describe her actions over the past two days.
After all, she would spend a lifetime with Yuto in the future, and these things… she would have to do sooner or later.
Of course, this did not include the phrase often seen in Inazuma light novels: "Do you want to eat first? Or bathe first? Or… eat me first?"
Furina asked herself, she still couldn't reach that level, so she naturally wouldn't consider such things.
Thinking of this, Furina felt her mind calm down a bit, so she slightly raised her head and softly said:
"I just want to… make our future life more interesting…"
"Because I like you very much, I love you very much, that's why I want these warm moments to stay in our hearts forever."
"Memories fade, and time takes memories away, but as long as I do these things often…"
"Then our happy memories will never fade, and time will never take them away."
"What's more…"
Furina's face flushed slightly, as if she was hesitating whether to say the rest.
After a brief moment of internal struggle, the cute little blue cake finally put down her spatula, gently turned around, and wrapped her arms around Yuto's neck.
"What's more, I've been waiting for this moment for over four hundred years…"
"I constantly look forward to us being the protagonists of those stories, constantly look forward to how we will be after our responsibilities are over."
"Now… these small expectations finally have a chance to be realized one by one."
Upon hearing this, Yuto, who had originally held the upper hand in this love battle, instantly fell from the peak.
Looking at those beautiful, slightly watery heterochromatic eyes in front of him, looking at the girl's stunningly beautiful face, Yuto was momentarily stunned.
Ever since the two of them tacitly confirmed their relationship during an afternoon tea after The Prophecy disaster ended… Furina's beauty seemed to constantly redefine Yuto's ultimate perception of beauty.
Yuto had to admit, he was a common man; his intuitive feeling for beauty had only one standard: whether it was good-looking or not.
At this moment, the girl before him, with cheeks tinged with crimson and a slight shimmer in her moist heterochromatic eyes, was the most dazzling existence in his heart.
Looking at the girl who was hugging his neck, Yuto gently exerted force, completely embracing her, and then whispered in her ear:
"We will walk a very, very long path together, just like the past five hundred years."
"So… we have ample time to put your small expectations into practice, one by one."
"Fufu, these five hundred years… it's truly wonderful to have you."
Yuto said this while increasing the strength in his arms, as if he wanted to knead Furina into his own body.
Feeling the gradually increasing pressure around her waist, Furina also showed a smile.
She slowly rested her small head on Yuto's shoulder, gently inhaling his reassuring scent, then whispered:
"Yes… these five hundred years… it's truly wonderful to have you…"
...
After a simple dinner and washing up, Yuto and Furina both rose from the living room and walked into Furina's room, one after the other.
Looking at the small bed in front of her, the girl blinked slightly, and a blush quickly crept up her cheeks, as if she remembered her ostrich-like behavior from last night.
"Ugh… what excuse should I use today—wait? What on earth am I thinking?!"
While Furina was still contemplating how to get Yuto to share the bed with her… Yuto had already made his move.
"Whoa?!"
Furina suddenly felt her hand being grabbed by something, and then her body began to tilt forward uncontrollably, finally settling comfortably on the bed.
By the time the adorable, silly Fufu reacted… she was already being hugged from behind by Yuto, lying comfortably on the bed.
The only difference from last night was… this time, he was on the inside, and she was on the outside.
"Ch-Yuto… wh-what are you doing?"
