Chapter 346

The atmosphere turned slightly awkward for a moment. Hitori, who had been chasing Nijika while calling her "Mom" and begging for headpats, lifted her head from Nijika's abruptly frozen embrace. Umiri, who had crouched down to wipe Mutsumi's shoes, accidentally smeared the towel right onto the floor. Nyamu-chin had been trying to fix Anon's outrageous sense of aesthetics—fearing that Nyamu-chin's own legendary reputation would be ruined sooner or later, she had taken it upon herself to apply Anon's nail polish—only to ruin it completely as her hand slipped. The dice from Togenashi Togeari, who had been huddled together playing dice and cards, went flying. Even Tomori, sitting quietly beside Taki and drinking milk, froze in place, the light-brown liquid stuck halfway up her straw.
