Chapter 183: Meeting Aoi and Ria again

"Husband, rest for a while before you go."

Akane reminded me after we finished eating. Aya was still here because I told her I would take her to the station.

Since my next appointment would be with Aoi and Ria, I told those two to meet after lunch so upon deciding that, I had Aya stay a little more so that I could take her there myself.

"Alright. Let me use your lap, wife."

Hearing my words, Akane smiled brightly and sat on the long sofa, I followed her and laid my body down on it using her lap as a pillow.

Aya who was looking at us also smiled though she's a bit jealous, she's probably thinking that I already pampered her enough since last night and this morning.

After coming back from the supermarket, I volunteered to cook while the two of them watched. Miwa-nee was with Minoru reprimanding the boy not to eat a lot of ice cream. I bought him a gallon of it after all which also earned me an earful from that beautiful aunt of mine.

During my work at the kitchen, I told Akane about Nikaido and what happened to us. I could remember that Akane was against Nikaido to be close to me since she's not one of my stolen girls but upon hearing it this time, Akane only smiled mysteriously as she looked at Aya, someone not stolen as well.

I guess her view has already changed about it. Well, Nikaido was still not at their level and I still want to see what she will do next time.

Err… that's different from what I always do eh? With Nikaido, I'm the one being courted…

Letting my mind drift off to sleep from the comfortable softness of Akane's thighs and the way she brushed my hair with her fingers, I rest my mind that kept thinking of what to do next.

Times like this are precious now. Because I tend to focus on my girls, if they don't remind me, I will really continue moving from one task to another.

When I opened my eyes again, Aya's face was the one who greeted me. It seems that at one point, Akane switched places with her.

Upon seeing my opened eyes, Aya smiled at me and leaned down to kiss me, I lifted my arm to the back of her head, taking her kiss and returning it. This simple gesture, even without words exchanged between us, her affection towards me was in full view.

"How long was I asleep?"

I asked her after our lips separated.

"Uhm. Two hours."

"I see. Let me wash my face first then we'll go."

Aya nodded and helped me get up from her lap.

Akane was nowhere to be seen so I turned to Aya again.

Even without my question, Aya understood what I am going to ask.

"Ah. Akane is upstairs, she let me take this chance to watch you sleep..."

"I see. I'll go and see her first, Aya. "

Akane always conceded her place like this. Though I appreciate it, I don't want her to always do this. I want to spend time with her the same way I spend time with my other girls. That's why I chose her earlier. She didn't need to concede every time.

"Un. I'll wait here."

Aya nodded. To stop her from thinking that I didn't like the switch, I took her hand and kissed it.

"Thank you, Aya. I had a comfortable rest."

After hearing that, a smile bloomed once more on her lips. She felt that my gratitude is genuine after all.

Seeing that, I couldn't help but kiss her again and this time I used my tongue to let her feel that I'm not blaming her. Though there's a possibility that she wouldn't think of that, I would still do this to stop those thoughts before they formed.

I love all of them, I'll always let them feel that I'm not blaming them if someone conceded their place for them.

When I went upstairs, Akane was in our room folding our clothes that have just dried. With her back turned towards the door

Upon seeing that, I slowly walked towards her and slipped my arms from behind her, putting her in my embrace.

"You woke up?"

Akane asked, even without seeing who hugged her from behind, she knew it was me, her Ruki radar was always working after all.

"Un. Thank you, wife. But you don't need to always do that, alright?"

I told her what's on my mind and even though I didn't point out what I'm talking about, she understood what I meant.

"I didn't concede this time, you know? I remembered I have to do this."

She answered as she lifted my shirt and showed me how she folded it.

"Really?"

"Uhm. 50/50."

"See… I also wanted to spend time with you normally, wife. Even if you're always with me during the night, it shouldn't be restricted to only that."

"Did that make you upset?"

"Not really upset. I just don't want you to always concede like this."

"Alright. I'll remember that. You see, I also judge it if the girls want it. Like earlier, there's a look of longing at her eyes as she watched your sleeping face that she even forgot our topic "

I see. So that happened. I guess that's fair, I wouldn't be always looking at them.

"Then if that's the case, it's fine. Thank you as always Akane. For understanding."

"Between us, there's no need for thank you, you know? Just keep loving me, even if I'm not your only one now, knowing how much you love me is enough."

Akane turned around and circled her arms to the back of my neck.

"I'm really lucky to have you, Akane."

"Kiss me, husband. You have to go somewhere, right?"

Even if she doesn't ask, I'll kiss her every time. I know that even if everyone leaves me in the end, she will never leave me.

I should really be devoted to her if we're still normal but my life was already this twisted, there's no going back, only moving forward with her and the others at my side.

"Un. Even if I go, I'll always return to your side."

After saying that, I kissed her like she asked me, pouring in my feelings for her.

Spending a few minutes with her in our room, our feelings for each other were strengthened once more. I won't take for granted that she will always be there. Every passing day, I'll show her how much I'm thankful for her.

Leaving her to do what she's doing, I went down and washed my face like I told Aya and prepared to set out again.

Since it's still a bit sore for her, Aya held onto me as we walked towards the station. I am a worrywart so I escorted her even inside the train. Only when she sat down comfortably did I leave to go to the other platform.

Ria and Aoi were waiting for me at the park near their house. I've been there before so after a 10-minute ride and a few minutes of walking from the train station.

I saw the two waiting at the swing.

Ah. They're not just waiting, they're playing on it. With Ria riding it, Aoi was pushing her from the back

Seeing their happy faces which enjoyed that kind of moment, I slowly walked towards them.

Aoi was the one who first saw me and when she did, she stopped pushing Ria and just ran towards me.

Confused, Ria looked ahead and when she saw me, she jumped off the swing.

Seeing that, I went forward and caught her.

"Ria. That's unfair."

Aoi grumbled as she saw Ria clinging onto me after that catch.

"Hehe. Dumb-senpai just doesn't want to see me hurt, Aoi. You should do it too."

She giggled while she tightened her hold onto me. She's so light for her age. There's only 1 year between us but she still looks like this. Maybe it's her parent's genes?

"That's bad Ria, I really don't want to see you hurt so don't do this again, alright?"

I pinched her cheeks and put her down before beckoning for Aoi to come near.

"Ruki… I miss you!"

As if forgetting that she was grumbling just now, Aoi ran into my arms and just like that time in the supermarket, she kissed me without a second thought.

"Now, that's what I will call unfair. Dumb-senpai, me too!"

Seeing our kiss that lasted for a few seconds, Ria also demanded the same treatment so I gave it to her.

Good thing there are no other people at the park currently or the parents of the children will nag at us for being this indecent in public.

"Ria, Aoi is always unruly, don't take that trait of hers, alright? And you, Aoi, you've become more unruly. It has only been two weeks. Well, in any case. I miss you two so where do you want to go?"

Though they were downcast at first, after hearing my last sentence, they both looked up with renewed enthusiasm in their eyes.

"T-there's no one at home. Spend time with us there."

Aoi whispered while blushing. The contrast of her unruly nature to this, it's enough to make me want to pick her up again. However, I refrained and just took her hand.

"Alright. Is it fine with you, Ria?"

"Yes Dumb-senpai, you have some things you want to tell us, right?"

With a smile, Ria correctly guessed what's on my mind.

"Yes. A lot has happened so… let's buy some snacks first."

Two weeks ago, I reconnected to these two girls.

Err… literal connection of our bodies.

But back then, I still called it as desire for them and taking responsibility. Just like the other girls, they deserved to hear it from me, how much I love them. Though they already knew about it through our messages, saying it in front of them is still better.

So for the following hours, I'll spend time with the two of them and fill the two weeks that we haven't seen each other.
