After taking a shower, Ryuto finished tidying up.

"Alright, Miyuki, you go to sleep first, I'll go out for a bit."

Saying that, Ryuto turned the doorknob to step out.

But...

"Darling!"

He was stopped by a rather high-pitched voice.

Although he really wanted to ignore it and just dash out the door, but...

Well, despite having a bad feeling about it, he could only pray that he was overthinking things.

Reluctantly, Ryuto turned around to ask, "Ah... What's up?"

"Leaving your newlywed wife alone in the room and going out for a stroll, is that really okay?"

"Hey, come on, that's not true, don't say things that aren't real."

"Well, if that's the case, then I'll go too."

With that, Miyuki approached.

"Huh? Why though? I just wanted to see if there's a place outside to have fun."

To which Miyuki sternly raised her index finger, saying, "Do you know, darling, it's really dangerous to be outside alone, it's the most basic safety awareness, sigh... Husbands without basic safety awareness make their wives worry."

"Dangerous? Safety awareness? Ah, you mean like assassins and such, there shouldn't be any assassins here, right? Besides, it would be strange if an assassin followed me here."

"That's not it, I'm not talking about that, I'm talking about ~roadside~flowers~."

"Wildflowers? What's that? I'm not that into plants, why would I go look for that? Besides, going out to find flowers late at night is strange behavior in itself."

"Sigh..."

Facing Ryuto's self-righteousness, Miyuki could only sigh helplessly.

"Even though darling saying that makes me happy, but it seems like darling doesn't understand what I mean, right?"

"Huh? What do you mean? Did I misunderstand, aren't flowers plants? Please don't tell me they're animals."

"No, I mean darling should be careful, don't let strange women lure you away."

"Strange women?"

"Well, from the looks of it, it probably won't happen, although one would think that would make me happy, but strangely, if that were to happen, it wouldn't be so bad, after all, if darling could resolve things so easily, I wouldn't have to work so hard, my feelings are really complicated."

Miyuki muttered to herself with a strange expression.

"Hey, hey, what are you mumbling about over there? If there's nothing else, I'll leave."

Saying that, Ryuto started walking again.

But...

"Hold on, darling!"

He was stopped once again.

"What now? Although I don't really get it, I won't go look for plants, don't worry."

Ryuto declared somewhat impatiently.

"I'm not talking about that."

"Huh? Not about that? Then what is it? Can't you just tell me clearly all at once?"

"What I mean is... is this really okay?"

Miyuki squinted her eyes.

"What do you mean?"

"If darling abandons me like this and goes out directly, I might scream."

"Huh? That again?"

Ryuto couldn't help but recall that darn thing from a few days ago. Speaking of which, what exactly is abandonment? The word "abandonment" somehow seems to have a bad reputation...

In response, Miyuki simply smiled and waved her hand.

"No, of course not."

"Ah... so it's not, huh."

Ryuto couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief because, holding this move, Ryuto was utterly helpless. Being utterly helpless, does that make it darn thing? It feels like suddenly discovering a new definition for the term "darn thing."
