Toji was going on yet another mission this week. He also started to pick up bad habits like betting on horse racing and spending a significant amount of his fortune on a useless thing.
"Toji-kun! Take Megumi for a day, I've been overwhelmed with missions myself!" The woman was quite annoyed with the past actions of the man.
"And what do you want me to do? Take him on a n assassination? You think he will be safe that way?" He was ticked off as well. Lately, he has been hearing a little too much nagging from his wife.
"I am telling you to tone down your work and take care of the kids as well." She was holding the little two year old toddler in her arms, shaking him to sleep.
"Give me a break, Yukiko." He said and looked straight in her eyes.
"Tone down with your attitude, Toji. And stop with your relentless gambling. You aren't even winning anything. You just keep losing all that money you could've used for our children's future." She spat at him in anger.
"Then you tone down your interactions with the Inumakis. You seem to be going there an awlful lot lately." He spat back at her.
"Are you accusing me of committing adultery right now?" She was shocked.
"How would I know, whenever I see you lately, you need to always visit the Inumakis." He remarked sarcastically.
"You are unbelievable." She turned her back at him and ushered a little Tsumiki back to her room.
"It's you, who is unbelievable." He said and slammed the door on his way out, making the woman flinch at the sudden noise, waking up Megumi. The little toddler started to cry again, while the mother desperately tried calming his down.
It's been weeks, since the last time she saw Toji and she was worried for her safety.
"Aiko-chan, could you please look after the kids for a little while? I need to search for my husband." She said, giving her the address.
"Tsumiki, can you handle Megumi for 10 minutes? My friend will come and take care of you soon enough, could you buy me some time before that?" She asked the little girl. Yukiko knew that it wasn't her job to be taking care of her son, but she just needed her to spend only measly 10 minutes, before her dear friend Aiko Inumaki comes to the rescue.
"Don't open the door to anyone, unless they say that their name is Aiko Inumaki." She said and took her keys, before leaving the kids at home to find her husband.
First she decided to check the bar he usually visited. She ask around for any information she was able to get, but she didn't find anything at all.
Then she visited the places they usually hung out at, during and before them having kids together. And low and behold, he was at the park they frequently visited with Tsumiki and Megumi.
He sat there will three empty whiskey bottles.
"Toji-kun, I am sorry I overreacted today. I was just ticked off because of the work the executives are pinning on me." She said and sat next to him, leaning her head onto his shoulder.
"I am sorry too, Yuki-chan. There have been lots of things on my mind lately as well." He said and took another sip of the alcohol.
She gestured him to give her the bottle and he quietly complied. Yukiko took a long sip of the drink, before wiping her mouth and spilling everything in her mind.
"The executives have been strangely pressuring me lately. Although, I believe I do my work just perfectly fine. They keep wanting to give me a special rak, but for that I need to take a test and get an approval from another special grade sorcerer." She started off.
"But that is not the problem. The problem is that I have been scared for the kids for the last couple of months. You are in a very scary and dangerous field of work, just as well as me. So what if our children will be left all alone one day? That thought kept plaguing my mind, so I decided to save up for the future." She thought about Megumi and Tsumiki graduating from their schools.
"They will need college education, which is roughly 9 million yen (~$70.000) for both of them. Not counting the living expenses, which will add another million yen for for both of them to live comfortably for a year, until they're full fledged adults. In total, there is about 20 million yen to be saved up for their brught future." She said with a small smile.
"I wish I would be able to see them grow old with you." Yukiko said, melancholy filling her voice.
"Sorry, Yuki-chan. I haven't really thought about that yet, so I didn't really understand the severity of our situation." He apologised for his mistake.
"It's fine. Of course you will not think about such things yet. We are just 23 ourselves." She said, looking at the swings.
"And what is bothering my dear husband?" She asked and hugged his side.
"It is something quite important, but I didn't want to worry you for nothing." The man said, taking another gulp of the alcohol.
"The Zennin Clan contacted me once again." He ominously started. "They asked to buy Megumi from us. Apparently, they've heard about him through other people and they think that there is a big chance of him inheriting either the Ten Shadows Technique or the infamous Limitless." He said, making the girl ball up her hands, turning her knuckles white.
"That old man must have gotten dementia, if he started to meddle in our business." She said with malice apparent in her voice, which made Toji chuckle in response. "I believe yoy are not even considering selling him to those wretched bastards." She suspiciously looked at him.
"I've been thinking about it a lot, so don't you think that if he manifested my clan's technique, it would be better for him to be with them? They would teach him how to use it. But what can I do? I don't even possess a drop of cursed energy." He looked down at his hands, laughing dryly.
"Don't even think something like that. If need be I will teach him how to use it myself!" She turned herself to face her husband. "So just ignore their stupid deal. And in case he inherits Limitless, even better. I would be able to teach him everything I know." She smiled warmly at him, taking his hand in hers and placing then on her cheeks.
"Trust me, Toji-kun. And start telling me the things that keep bothering you straight to me tather than avoiding me and keep misunderstanding." She kissed him for a brief moment.
"Then... who are you meeting from that Clan?" Toji asked, tone full of insecurity.
He looked so vulnerable at that state.
"It was Aiko Inumaki. She is a great friend of mine right now, since we both have children. Her child Toge, is such a cutiepie too. He apparently inherited their Cursed Speech Technique. However, he is a a year or two older than our precious Megumi." She explained proudly. She was finally making friends and she wsnt going to let them go.
As he finished her explanation, Toji burst into laughter.
"I am such a dumbass for misunderstanding you. I apologise for not believing you right away, darling. This time I will try to properly communicate with you." He said and kissed her.
It seemed so sweet, caring and full of love, which made Yukiko hungrily crave for more. She got on top of him, letting her hands wander under his sweater.
"We have to come back home." She insisted, but Toji already had his hand on her butt.
"Let's go to a motel." He said and picked her up easily. Both of them were in their typical housewear, but neither of them cared for it.
When they finally reached the closest motel, they got cheapest room for a single night.
They successfully made up, after two months of constant arguing.
Their first serious married couple fight ended quite easily.
