yeah anyone who read this and thought, wow nishikata back at it being awkward around his wife, should probably reread the chapter. he's clearly flustered because it's in front of chi, and not only that but he's trying to convince chi that he didn't mean what he said to make her feel better. and also admitting in front of his daughter that he himself likes to be cuddled lol
anyway...one of the cutest chapters!
