Yu Nagasawa eventually apologized profusely to Erina.
Erina wouldn't hold a grudge or pursue the matter relentlessly. The first stage was a complete victory for them, and her mood was quite good. Furthermore, Erina was very satisfied with Renz's performance, so she didn't harbor any ill will towards the production team.
Today's filming was over. The two went straight to the master bedroom to rest. The master bedroom had a good location, with sunlight directly reaching the balcony. It had an independent shower and toilet, and laundry could be done and hung on the balcony. The bedroom itself was also quite spacious, with a double bed, but also a futon for sleeping on the floor.
The production team paid attention to details; the participating guests included both married couples and dating couples. Some dating couples weren't close enough to share a bed. The futon was prepared for ordinary couples whose relationship hadn't deepened yet. Renz and Erina didn't need any of that. Since Erina had been sent here by Hisako Arato, Renz didn't want to leave Erina anywhere else for now; staying here together was perfectly fine.
"Tomorrow is the second stage of the Ko no Challenge," Erina was in a good mood. She had been waiting for this challenge segment. Leaning on Renz's shoulder, she hugged his arm tightly, her lips curving into a cute, spoiled pout. "I'm curious what kind of relationship lovers have."
Renz paused, asking in surprise, "We are lovers, what's there to be curious about in that kind of relationship?"
"It's different," Erina shook her head, her eyes sparkling.
"How is it different?" Renz couldn't quite grasp Erina's point. In his eyes, they were both husband and wife, and lovers.
"Have we really dated?" Erina pouted, expressing her doubt in the room.
"Haven't we dated?" Renz was exasperated. The more he listened, the more confused he became, unable to understand Erina's thoughts. "Although we married first and then dated."
"But we should have dated," Renz analyzed.
"If I say no, it's no," Erina said, acting petulantly. "I want you to date me again, right here on this show."
"Alright," Renz thought about it and decided to go along with Erina's idea.
"Do you feel like I don't dote on you as much after we got married?" Renz hesitated, then asked.
"A little, maybe," Erina sighed. "But, your performance
today wasn't bad."
"Then I know why," Renz pointed to Rina, who was already asleep on the bed. "It's probably because of her."
"No, how could it be?" Erina shook her head. "It's normal for you to be good to Rina. I think I can understand that.
After all, you're her father. How can it be if you don't take good care of your child? I'm also very happy that Rina is close to you."
"Alright, you don't need to pretend to be magnanimous,"
Renz knew the whole story and situation as soon as Erina said so much. "There's nothing I can do. I have to take care of Rina and you. It's impossible to only be good to one person. Erina cried and insisted on coming to find me, so I definitely have to take good care of her. I can't just throw my hands up and say, 'Please, Hisako, continue taking care of her for a few more days.' That's not how it works."
Renz spoke slowly.
Erina puffed out her cheeks. "But didn't we agree that participating in this variety show would be our couple's
world?"
Renz immediately guessed it. Erina had been talking about "lovers," and lovers don't have children. Erina wanted to enjoy that pure lover's atmosphere. To put it plainly, Erina was mad. Mad that little "troublemaker" Erina had to get involved. They were supposed to relive sweet romance, but then the little troublemaker cried and cried her way into it too.
"So you don't want the child anymore?" Renz asked, his head aching.
"Yes, I do," Erina nodded. "It's just that for this show, I don't want Rina to ruin it like this."
"You think of a way," Erina said.
"What way can I think of?" Renz felt a bit numb when Erina dumped the problem on him. "A child definitely can't leave their parents."
"Rina is already like this, we can't possibly make her leave, can we?" Renz added.
"Then are you going to make it up to me somehow?" Erina asked slyly.
"Then tell me how I should make it up to you," Renz sighed. "You're not going to make me a slave of the new
century, are you?"
"That's not necessary," Erina affirmed. "Your performance today was very commendable, so I won't make things difficult for you."
"You, you've been calculating me all this time, just to decide who makes breakfast?" Renz suddenly realized. Erina was just latching onto a minor, insignificant point, a problem that could either be brought up or not, and found an opportunity to counterattack, thereby coercing Renz into solving the breakfast issue altogether.
"Congratulations, you guessed it right." Erina mused, "However, what I said wasn't wrong either. We did agree that this show was about reliving the feeling of being lovers, a show for just the two of us. Since Rina got involved, and it was because of you, then you should take some responsibility, right?"
"Don't make excuses for not being able to wake up every morning!" Renz said, feigning fury, and reached out to hug Erina. He wanted Erina to know what a man's dignity was.
But Erina wasn't flustered. She wrapped her hands around Renz's head and pressed down firmly on his neck.
Renz was directly ambushed by the fierce monster.
Realizing he was no match, he immediately declared unconditional surrender upon reaching the battlefield.
"So soft."
"I won't back down on the breakfast issue. Even if you say that, it's not okay. This is my absolute bottom line.
I've been making breakfast for how many years? What's wrong with letting me rest for a few days?" Renz said, feigning composure. "Marital harmony is the most important thing."
Erina nodded. "Oh, is that so? Then you can put your paws down."
"What? Too quiet, I can't hear you," Renz feigned deafness. What a joke, just a few touches weren't enough.
"Besides, if you act so shamelessly, the balance of
marital harmony will be destroyed. This is a malicious act that I strongly condemn."
Erina had already reached out to push Renz's hand away.
Renz's expression became extremely serious. "I think I now fully and clearly understand the gravity of the situation. To avoid unnecessary disputes and conflicts between us as husband and wife, let's stick to the usual rules. I'll make breakfast."
"Didn't you say that was your absolute bottom line?
Didn't you say you absolutely wouldn't make breakfast?"
Erina's hand gently covered Renz's, constantly questioning him, a smile barely contained on her face.
"What does a wife waking up so early to make breakfast prove? It only proves that the husband is too incompetent, that he makes his wife wake up so early and use her long, graceful hands to prepare breakfast."
"I am truly heartbroken by this. Waking up at 5 AM, that's not only destroying my wife's beauty, but it's also an insult to my character."
"Don't try to persuade me, no matter what, I'm making this breakfast."
"It's my duty, alright."
Renz said righteously.
"Our life as husband and wife should be maintained with such an attitude. This is the long-term plan for our feelings to remain stable and develop after being married for so long."
As he spoke.
Renz quietly asked, "Can I rub my face against you again?"
