“Welco ho, Ruki!” Nao greeted right at our front door. Like yesterday, she was wearing an apron again. There’s a little difference though. Her cheeks and nose were slightly sared by whipped cream, evident by the dispenser she’s clutching on her hand.
Obviously, she’s making a dessert for us. With her stay here, it’s also a chance for her to have more freedom on practicing her skills for it.
Just that… because Akane isn’t ho yet, this girl dropped what she’s doing and quickly ran out from the kitchen to greet upon hearing the front door opening that was followed by my voice, announcing my return from school.
Now that I think about it, ever since the day I asked Akane to live with , this was the first ti in a while that I arrived first from school. Although she’s not always at the front door, the girl was always the first one to arrive.
From the update I received from her earlier, they’re on their way to the Kaneko Household. Just like what they planned, all four of the girls earlier would visit at the sa ti.
“Looks like you’re busy making sothing.” Putting Nao inside my embrace, I intentionally licked the whipped cream staining her beautiful face.
She’s most likely unaware that she got it there as she appeared surprised at what I did. Her ears turned red as steam seed to rise from above her head. “Ruki, couldn’t you have told that I have cream on my face instead? I love what you did but this is embarrassing on another level.”
“Yes, I could’ve done that. But isn’t this nice once in a while? Next week I’ll have to send you ho… Let pamper you while you’re here.”
Well, I just found an opening and open justification to be a little intimate with her, at the sa ti, teasing her in my own way.
After saying that, I licked her face clean before ending it with a kiss on her lips. Nao eventually accepted the situation as she grabbed hold of my back enjoying it to the fullest.
By the ti we finished, the girl was thoroughly satisfied and a little weak on her knees that it ended up with guiding her back to the interior of our house instead of the other way around.
Nao returned to what she was making while I went to greet Miwa-nee, who was currently chopping ingredients for our dinner.
Of course, I got scolded by her that I should’ve waited until she’s finished. What can I do? I miss her just as much as I miss all of my girls.
After I changed, I returned to the living room to wait for Akane’s call. But Minoru who was unusually sitting away from the TV asked to sit and watch whatever program was currently showing.
Looking at the screen, it’s currently the comrcial break but minutes later, when the TV program returned, I understood why he went and asked .
Even though it’s not deep in the night yet, what’s currently airing was so type of horror program.
I an, the sun had just set. It’s that type of program where they’re featuring images and video clips while playing so creepy background music and chill-inducing narration.
The boy was clearly scared but at the sa ti extrely curious so he couldn’t change the channel.
With Miwa-nee and Nao busily doing sothing in the kitchen, he couldn’t go to them and ask to watch with him.
Upon understanding that, I ruffled the boy’s hair and sat next to him.
“Ru-nii, why are you not scared? Ghosts not scary?” With only one of his eyes open, Minoru, who had taken refuge in front of , asked that question a few minutes later.
Ghosts, huh? I had that nickna among those idiots I taught a lesson back in middle school but an actual ghost was not scientifically proven. So… whatever they’re playing there was mostly edited or just a case of pareidolia for whoever submitted those images.
Anyway, the boy wouldn’t understand if that’s how I answered him and it’s not like there’s a correct answer.
“Mhm… Ghosts are scary. But boys like us have to be brave even against ghosts.”
“I don’t understand.”
“It’s fine if you don’t. You’re still young after all. But once you grow up like , you shouldn’t be a coward. That way, you can protect those important to you. Look, if a ghost shows up and Miwa-nee, your mother, gets scared of it, who will protect her if you also get scared?”
“… Ru-nii will co and protect us?”
Ugh… That answer is not wrong. I should’ve been cleared enough. I guess I have to start guiding him so that he wouldn’t turn out to be like that coward Ogawa.
Well, guiding him was the best I could do for him at the mont. But still, I better tone it down. It’s a lot better for him to enjoy her childhood rather than guide him to mature quickly.
“Of course, I will. But what if I’m not with you? Will you just cry and let your mother be taken by the ghost?”
“Ghost can do that?”
“Uh. Not all. But what if that’s the kind of ghost you encounter?”
Sohow, I’m feeling dumb about talking about this. Looking at the kitchen, both Miwa-nee and Nao, who could probably hear , were restraining their laughs.
“I’ll protect mama! But how can I beat a ghost, Ru-nii?” Minoru declared, his eyes shining with courage.
Alright, his answer was enough but why did he have to add that question?
Even I hadn’t even beaten a ghost yet. Not that I want to find one and beat it to the ground.
After thinking for a while, I shook my head and smiled at the boy. “You don’t have to. Most ghosts will go away if you show that you’re not scared of it.”
“I understand. I will be brave for mama.”
“Mhm… good boy.”
Patting his head once more, we then continued watching the program.
A while later, the program ended and Nao brought us so of what she baked. Minoru quickly munched over it, leaving my side.
Nao, on the other hand, sat beside and teased about that conversation I had with Minoru.
“Ruki, I sent a video of that to the group. Wanna know what they think of it?”
… Huh? When did she record it?
Wait. That’s not the main issue, why did she send that to their group?
“… It’s embarrassing, right?”
“Nope. They all think it’s a lovely scene. If we have our… child, you’ll be a great father to guide them.” Nao blushed as she looked at filled with her affection. Her head surely flew off to that distant future where she gave birth to our child.
Anyway, Great father… ? I don’t think so… If ever, I better not let them beco like , right? Sure, I will be guiding them to be a better human being, not a scum like .
Soon after that, Nao poked fun at contemplating how to respond and when Miwa-nee also returned from the kitchen, she joined the girl in teasing .
My escape from that situation ca a few minutes later when Akane finally called from inside Otoha’s room.
As soon as I saw Otoha and Hitomi on the screen, a sense of relief flooded my mind.
