"Are you sure about this, Kumiko?"
In the warm mansion, Nikolai gazed back at the blonde kitsune who sat watching him with an overjoyed face, beaming at him.
When he returned with Selene, he expected a similar scene, with Kumiko waiting for him excitedly.
But what shocked him was how she welcomed him alone and then proceeded to guide him to the bathroom and helped wash, massage and pamper him for several hours.
'Thanks to her tender love, and care... I feel refreshed.'
Nikolai looked at his arms and legs, clean from the dirt that clung to them.
Kumiko helped wash every inch of him, and even though he wasn't injured, she made sure to put ointments and cream over his skin.
'It's like she knows how exhausted I was...'
Now dressed in a white yukata and holding a mug of coffee, he glanced over at Kumiko, who had her own little fox cup, as the television played a romantic movie.
