1254 Night Talk
When Yua and I reached our house, it’s close to ten in the evening. The night was already deep with nary a car or any other people in our vicinity.
From the update I received from Akane and my parents, they had already eaten their dinner earlier alongside Akane’s parents next door.
Knowing that I wouldn’t be able to go home right on time for dinner, I asked my parents to accompany Akane until late in the night. And then, there was also her parents who were just living next door. I also asked them for it that resulted in Aunt Akemi scolding me for neglecting her daughter.
Well, I deserved to be scolded so I still politely asked them. But knowing that the idiot couple, a.k.a. my parents were at our house, my next-door in-laws didn’t need to think twice to accept what I asked from them.
Actually, even without my input, they would definitely stay around for dinner for Minoru and Akane. In fact, they had just left maybe at the same time as Yua and I started making our way to the station from her house.
“You’re here! Come in Yua. I believe we have lots to talk about.” With a rather mischievous smile on her lips, Akane welcomed us right at the front door. From the tone of her voice, she was clearly excited to have another girl she could talk to tonight.
Of course, she first went to jump into my arms, offering me her lips. It’s the one thing she missed to taste for almost the whole day. And right after that, she dragged the befuddled Yua inside, leaving me tailing behind them.
At this point in our relationship, if initially Akane would be a little jealous whenever someone else would be visiting or joining us in our bedroom, that’s a lot different now.
She started looking forward to these visits, especially whenever it was a new girl – or old who hasn’t stayed the night yet after I took her back in.
From the silly girl’s own words, she mentioned how it’s always exciting to hear from my other girls the side of me that she couldn’t witness by herself.
They all had different perspectives, after all. Each of the girl’s experiences with me could fill in the blank spaces concerning me. And whenever those experiences fit what they thought I would be doing in a certain situation, they would be filled with a sense of fulfillment. It’s like they could imagine it themselves.
Haruko and Yae also mentioned that. That’s why they’re actually more active these days to approach the other girls.
If Akane was doing that here in our house, Yae would approach the girls from their school and Haruko, the girls from our school. Yeah, the original trio were making themselves busy like that.
However, with Yae’s brother facing that problem, she was rather occupied these days. Not that I wasn’t hearing from her. That girl wouldn’t allow herself to miss a day in updating me.
Anyway, going back, most of my girls were active in their group chat and they’re also sharing experiences in there. Nonetheless, hearing experiences those straight from the other girls’ mouths was what Akane preferred. Furthermore, there was also the deepening of their bond as sisters loving the same man whenever we were all in bed together, confessing our love passionately.
“Here’s our bedroom. Yua can take the right side while I will be in husband’s left.” Soon enough, we reached our room. With Akane still dragging Yua, she pointed at our bed as though she’s giving the girl a house tour.
And since I was just behind them, I couldn’t help but smile at how hospitable Akane was acting.
Obviously, Yua’s befuddlement continued. She turned to me as though she’s asking me for help on how to respond to Akane overly enthusiastic welcome.
But instead of saying something, I simply nodded my head, wordlessly telling her that everything’s fine.
Well, it’s not like she’s a very shy girl like Kana or Aya. So, upon understanding the situation, the dorky girl started acting like herself again, matching Akane’s pace.
When they started talking to each other, I put down Yua’s small suitcase that contained her change of clothes for tomorrow before excusing myself out of the room.
Although they wouldn’t mind me listening in, I was aware that there’s a high chance for me to be embarrassed. Better escape than give them the opportunity to tease me.
In any case, I also had something to do before turning in the night with them.
To update my girls and make that energizing tea.
By the time I returned to the bedroom with the jar of tea. Akane and Yua had already changed to their nightwear.
Akane had another velvet negligee that clearly exposed her alluring curves for my eyes to consume.
As for Yua, the girl wore a pair of cotton shirt and shorts that seemed really comfy.
Upon seeing that, I couldn’t help myself but to cuddle her while went to Akane served the tea for the three of us to share.
“Husband, I heard. Yua’s mom also asked you if you want to become a model. Care to tell us the result of your meeting with Koizumi-san?” After sipping her tea and also squeezing to my side to get her place to cuddle me, Akane brought that up.
Ah, right. That happened earlier. When we’re about to leave, Yua’s mother asked me about my appearance that’s too far from what she remembered. She even offered to introduce me to the same modeling agency as Yua. Obviously, I didn’t give a definite answer.
Anyway, the two must’ve already talked about a lot of things. And now, they wanted to hear me sharing my day. Since that’s probably the last thing they talked about, Akane brought that up first.
“Uh. I got into a bet with her. Here look,” I presented them the photos Koizumi-san sent to me. Some of them were raw images but others were already edited. That girl actually started sending the ones she edited to make it look more aesthetic while I was busy with my date with Ayu.
Akane and Yua grabbed my phone and checked them one by one. Sure enough, even the veteran model couldn’t help but be shocked at the quality of those photos. Moreover, since they became lost to all of it, what I said regarding the bet failed to registered in their minds.
“My husband is too handsome! Can I print all of these? I’ll pin them in my room!” Akane passionately exclaimed as she blurted that out. Pin them in her room, huh? She’s probably talking about her room in their house.
Even though we planned to sleep there one of these days, we still couldn’t find the right time for it. But I could imagine what her room would look like… it’s probably full of my photos or if not that, she had a hidden stash of it somewhere around her room.
“I’ll buy every magazine if these photos are in their front page. I think you’re even better than other male models, Ruki!” Yua also exclaimed as she went back and forth in zooming the photos in and out to get a clearer view.
“Print them. Sure. I got them for all of you, anyway. I posed for all of that thinking that you all would like it.” I responded to Akane’s question which earned me a very excited kiss right away. Then I turned my head to Yua whose sighs of amazement showed no signs of stopping.
“Alright, don’t exaggerate it. But I appreciate that you think of it like that. You see, I somehow entered a bet with Koizumi-san. She’ll be sending one of those photos to a magazine contest.”
“Eh? Oh, right! You mentioned that one. What are the terms?”
“A contest! You’re already a winner! But wait, what did you bet?”
Akane somehow woke up from her trance of perhaps imagining my photos filling up her room’s walls and finally focused on the bet that I mentioned twice. As for Yua, she already judged the contest even without seeing the other candidates.
Well, obviously, she’d pick me as the winner.
“If it wins a prize. I’ll consider her offer. And if not, she’ll stop asking me about it.”
“Eh… that sounds weak, husband. You should change the terms don’t you think so? If it wins a prize, you’ll be her model and get her as well. But if not, she’ll respect your decision and you get her still.”
What the hell was that change? But judging from Akane’s tone, she’s more than serious at that suggestion.
In any case, as I expected, Yua was more or less confused, “Huh? What’s that about getting her? Is this Koizumi-san another target?”
“Not really but she’s extremely interested with our husband.”
“Oh… So, Akane already approved of her?”
“Maybe? I like that she approached him even if there were other candidates that could accompany her on the trip they’re planning. Ain’t that right, husband?”
“Alright. Stop for a moment there, Akane. I get that the terms are rather unsatisfactory but Koizumi-san specifically mentioned how she’s not romantically inclined to me. So that’s a no go.”
“She’s lying.” Answering swiftly, Akane clicked her tongue a few times as though she’s certain with that.
Is she? Perhaps, perhaps not. Either way, I couldn’t simply make a conclusion base on a guess.
In any case, Akane also didn’t pursue that because right after that, she seemingly remembered something, “Ah. I forgot to tell you, husband. Hana. I met her earlier, she showed up at our door.”
