Love Begins in the World of If Episode 5

Returning to his original world, Akihito slowly reconnects with the people around him, even managing warm conversations with coworkers he once avoided, all while trying to face his past self and handle his duties in sales. Just then, trouble with client Ibushi sparks up again, and Akihito asks Ogami to go with him to apologize. His nerves kick in and his hands turn cold, but Ogami quietly squeezes them, giving him a warmth that steadies him. As past misunderstandings begin to clear, a subtle shift grows between the two, though the feelings they share still can’t quite make it into words. (Source: Japanese = mbs.jp || Translation = kisskh)
