Chapter 2671: Straight to the Bathroom
Several minutes later, I carefully slid out of Hana’s bed. I tucked her inside a blanket, ensuring that she wouldn’t get a cold. Her eyes flickered open briefly, shining with a drowsy and possessive gleam, before fluttering shut again.
I pressed a kiss to her forehead and whispered, "Good night, Hana. I’ll see you tomorrow."
Her lips curved into a drowsy smile as she murmured, "Mmm...dream about me..." before sinking back into sleep.
She’s relentless, isn’t she?
Upon stepping out of her room, I carefully made my way back downstairs to the lounge. I picked up her bag from the living room and set it where she could easily find it in the morning. Then, I made my way to the front door, stepping into the cool night air.
Perhaps I jinxed it or something, Tomori-san appeared from my view the moment I took a step outside. She seemed to have timed her return to check on her niece. She’s still wearing the same attire as earlier, but this time, she’s holding a flask, possibly containing tea or coffee, which she’s still drinking.
She approached me slowly, her gaze sweeping over my disheveled appearance, rumpled clothes and messy hair. She tilted her head as a knowing smirk played on her lips. "Looks like you two truly took your time together."
I shyly scratched my cheek as I answered, "Well, you’ve seen how she was, Tomori-san. Hana wouldn’t let me go without pampering her tonight."
"I get it. But you still remembered what I told you, right?"
"Mhm. We were being careful. You don’t have to worry about there being an accident, Tomori-san." I kept my voice low, respectful.
Her sharp and inscrutable eyes seemed to pierce right through my defenses, lingering on the faint bruise peeking above my collar. She took a slow sip from her flask, steam curling into the cool air. "Careful is a slippery slope, Onoda-kun. Especially with a girl as possessive as my niece."
"Well, I can handle it, Tomori-san. But I’ll keep your words in mind." I kept my tone respectful, avoiding any hint of defiance. Her stare lingered on me before she finally sighed and waved dismissively. "Go home. Get some rest before you collapse. I’m still thinking about when I will invite you to eat with us."
"Yes... By the way, Tomori-san. If you’re also troubled about something, you can also rely on me. I have good ears to lend." I offered sincerely, noticing her subtle weariness.
She chuckled softly, shaking her head. "Always looking out for others, aren’t you? Save that charm for Hana. Just... don’t hurt her."
Her eyes softened briefly before she turned away, retreating into the house’s warmth. I bowed slightly before heading down the quiet street.
My trip home was spent in solitary silence. I picked a corner with no other passengers and pulled out my phone to read and reply to the messages of all of my girls. Some were saying goodnight while some were still awake, either studying or waiting to chat with me.
Among them, Nami sent me a selfie showing that she was already tucked in bed, her long black hair spread across the pillow as she softly smiled at the camera. She added a text, ’Miss you already, Ruu. Pick me up tomorrow?’
I promised her I would, adding a heart emoji that made her reply with a blushing sticker.
Well, I should show up since Auntie Kasumi might question why I’m not doing my responsibilities as her boyfriend after showing up tonight for dinner.
Other than Nami, there was also Hifumi. She’s burning the midnight oil again but at the same time, she’s been hoping to hear my voice. That’s why I didn’t hesitate to call her as soon as I finished responding to the others.
It was a video call too, showing me what she’s working on.
Unsurprisingly, she’s studying ahead to keep up with those academically gifted girls. The ones who could effortlessly be at the top of their class if they put in as much effort as she does in studying.
Since she wanted to hear my voice, I almost sang for her but the girl stopped me, saying I should hush down or her parents might wake up. But she listened to me softly humming while she worked through algebraic expressions, her brow furrowed in concentration under her desklight.
Only when I was near our doorstep did the girl reluctantly end the call, promising she’d sleep after finishing her current Chapter. As I slid my phone back into my pocket, the front door swung open before I could touch it. There, Edel, who claimed to have heard my footsteps, jumped on me with a giggle. Not far behind was Hiyori, carrying bath towels.
As I wrapped my arms around Edel, I couldn’t help but teasingly say, "So, you two won’t let me sit down for a bit, huh?"
Hiyori was the one who answered since my lovely koala had already drifted into her wonderland as she rubbed her cheek on my chest.
"We’ve been waiting," Hiyori murmured as she grabbed my wrist, pulling me to the corner leading to the bathroom. Steam was already curled invitingly from within. It was only waiting for us to join.
Edel giggled against my chest as Hiyori tugged impatiently. "The water’s perfect now. We’ve been keeping it warm."
"Is that so? Alright then. Let’s get in." I turned my head to peek at the living room where Akane, Haruko and Yae were quietly chatting. All three of them waved at me and winked as though they were already expecting this kind of development the moment I arrived. Akane then lifted the teapot where she had prepared the miraculous tea. She’s ready for tonight, I guess? Looks like there’s no sleep until they’re exhausted for me then.
With Hiyori pushing the door and entering first, I followed after her without putting down my lovely silver koala. Still, the moment we stepped towards the laundry basket, Edel climbed down and Hiyori stepped in. Together, they started undressing me without wasting time.
Edel focused on unbuttoning my shirt while Hiyori took care of my pants, tugging them down until I was left with my boxers.
I naturally returned the favor before they could grab onto the last piece of clothing on me. My fingers gently tugged at their clothes, peeling away layers until both stood bare before me. Edel’s silver hair cascaded over her shoulders as she looked at me with an expectant gaze, while Hiyori’s cheeks flushed crimson.
Both tried to cover themselves with their arms but a simple tug at their wrist and they instantly gave in. Their skin glowed under the soft bathroom lights as I pulled them closer to me before letting them complete their unfinished business. Removing my boxers.
Their fingers trembled with anticipation as they slid the fabric down my hips. Once done, their eyes immediately focused on my body, drinking in every detail as if they were seeing me naked for the first time again.
"Alright, stop staring or you’ll make me embarrassed, let’s go in and wash up before the tub cools down. Don’t worry. I’m still planning to pamper you both."
Upon saying that, we stepped into the bathroom and stood beneath the shower. As the warm water trickled on our bodies, Hiyori and Edel turned to face me, one held a shampoo bottle while the other grabbed the soap bar. Their eyes gleamed with determination as they eagerly teamed up to wash my body.
