Chapter 506: Laundry Room

When Haruko and I returned to the living room where Serizawa-senpai was still surrounded by Akane and Yae, Haruko separated from me to join them as I went back to the kitchen to do what I had to do.

Minoru was totally focused on watching a children's anime. It didn’t bother him that there were now four girls that were in the same living room. Perhaps he was already used to seeing girls that were close to Akane’s beauty appearing in this house so seeing a new one wasn’t bothering him anymore.

But… Do I need to worry?

Ah no.

He’s just at the age that he would just take anything presented to him. Right?

At the least, he understood that the girls showing up here were more or less connected to me.

As I went my way towards the kitchen, I stopped my steps and turned my head in a certain direction.

The laundry room.

The reason Miwa-nee hadn’t shown up even when I arrived or why she’s not next to her son was that she’s in there, doing the laundry.

Sunday was allocated to be her laundry day.

And because of how she felt like she’s freeloading here, she insisted on doing my and Akane’s laundry as well.

At first, Akane and I were telling her that we could do it ourselves, she only put a finger to our lips to stop us from talking. And following that, she flawlessly gestured for the two of us to vacate the laundry room.

Ever since that day, she’s now the one in charge of all our laundry. Akane at least got her underwear for her to wash personally but for me, Miwa-nee was hell-bent on doing all my laundry.

Furthermore, she’s also cleaning the whole house whenever we’re at school. That’s why it was rare to see a dust-ridden spot anywhere in the post.

The housework I used to do when I was still living alone before was now being done by either Akane, Miwa-nee or even some of the girls who were visiting me like Shio, Haruko and Yae.

Thanks to them, the time that I used to put into various housework was now being used for spending time with my girls or doing something for school.

“Miwa-nee.”

In the end, my feet led me to the laundry room to check on my lovely aunt.

Now that I think of it, being my woman and with our feelings bared to each other, calling her aunt or Miwa-nee was now unbefitting. Although it was what we got used to, she’s now my lover. Just like with Shio, I should stop calling her the way I called her when I was still an ignorant child.

Nonetheless, today’s probably not the time to do that. First of all, she’s busy with something. It would just disturb her concentration. Next, anybody would think that it’s bad taste to straighten up this issue in this place. I should wait until we get the time together again.

For now, I should just do what I came here to do.

As I called out her name like that and closed the door behind me, Miwa-nee’s attention instantly focused on me.

“Hmm? You’re back. But you’re going out again, right?”

Although she’s also aware of my schedule, she’s probably not memorizing it given that she’s always at home.

In any case, she would still worry if I went home late just like last night.

I nodded and took a step forward. “After eating lunch, yes. Are you doing fine here?”

Clothes were sprawled on the floor. She’s probably sorting out what should be washed together.

With that somewhat concerned question of mine, Miwa-nee had an unexpected reaction. She crossed her arms and lifted one of her eyebrows as she gazed at me with her chin held high. “This guy. Do you think I’m already old enough to have back pain when doing laundry?”

I only asked if she’s fine, right? I never said any of that. How did she come to that conclusion?

Is Miwa-nee starting to get conscious of her age? She’s not even 20 years older than me. She’s only in her early 30’s.

Ah. Wait… Given that her age was already out of the calendar, she’s probably basing her thoughts on that.

“I never said that. What are you going on about being old? With this figure… no one will argue if I tell anyone that you’re still in your early 20’s.”

While scratching my head and having a wry smile, I closed our distance and went behind her.

As soon as I did that, I slipped my arms from her side and entwined my fingers together on top of her navel. Despite having rocking hips, her waist was slim enough for me to do this without constricting her.

“Don’t flatter me with your glib tongue. Just tell me honestly what you meant with your question.”

Although she still sounded a little upset because of my supposedly harmless question, Miwa-nee just let me embrace her like this.

She smelled a bit of the detergent we were using but when I put my nose near her neck, her intoxicating mature scent filled my senses that I couldn’t help but drop a kiss on it.

Naturally, I was tiptoeing the whole time to do that.

“It might be flattery but I’m just telling the truth. As for my question… I just thought of checking on you without any meaning in it. Miwa-nee is still a young woman for me. You don’t have to think about your age.”

Upon hearing that, Miwa-nee put a hand on her forehead as if she just realized her blunder. “F-forget what I said, alright? And you better stop that. It tickles.”

Noticing how I was continuing to kiss the back of her neck, Miwa-nee reached for my hair and pulled me to her front. “I’m doing the laundry here. Go back now and stop disturbing me.”

“I told you. I’m just checking on you.”

“Checking? Look at how tight you’re clinging onto me.”

“Really? Says the one kissing me.” I smirked and chased her lips that were about to pull away.

As I returned what she did, our lips perfectly fitted and our tongues mindlessly entwined to each other. Once again, our passionate love burned around us.

When I let go of her lips, Miwa-nee didn’t bother wiping the trace of our mixing saliva dripping from the side of her mouth as she responded to what I said. “Y-you tempted me!”

With a flustered face like a teenager, it’s actually rare to see her acting like this. Most of the time she would show me how mature and adult-like she moved. It’s like she was afraid to regress and become like Akane and the other girls.

“Oh. Right. I’m the one who initiated this. Well then, I’ll leave now Miwa-nee. I still have to cook our lunch.”

After saying this, I loosened my arms and took a step back.

“See that? You still haven’t done what you volunteered to do and you’re here flirting with me.”

“I can’t help it. I love Miwa-nee after all.”

I put on a teasing smile and Miwa-nee responded with a click of her tongue.

“Idiot… You’re cuter when you’re still a kid.”

“I know. But you love me more like this.”

Before I left the room to go back on what I have to do, I kissed Miwa-nee once more and this time, her face relaxed as a lovely expression replaced her somewhat grumpy expression earlier.

I was aware of how busy I would be after leaving this room. That’s why one of my reasons for checking on her this time was to have this kind of moment with her.

I can’t help it. I’m hopelessly in love with all of them. And I don’t think I will ever get tired of them. Even though I’m still a greedy bastard, I guess I’m becoming a hopeless romantic when it comes to the girls I came to love.
