Chapter 148: Another Day

After the bath, Akane and I also retired to our room. Before sleeping, I pampered her like I planned, not only to thank her but also to express what I'm feeling for her.

If I could think of a better reward then I would immediately grant it to her.

Afterwards, we got the chance to talk about what happened today on both of our ends. Our date last Saturday was known to everyone in their school, courtesy of the idiot guy who thought he could destroy Akane's reputation by spreading that. Most students in their school already knew about me and Akane living together so being on a date sounded more normal to them.

She then told me how she was approached by some of the girls in their group chat, asking her about when I will see them.

I told her that if they approach her again, tell them that I'll go to their school either this week or the next, that's when I will see them.

Seeing them one by one will just drain me again, so I will apologize to them if it will make them unhappy.

After she finished telling me what happened during the day to her, my turn came next. From the morning where I had to run around for Satsuki, the lunch break with Nami, how I dodged any and all questions of Shizu-senpai, Kana and the Itou sisters.

When I reached the point when I'm telling her the story about the Itou sisters, she giggled and took her phone to show me Itou's message to her. Just like I thought, she immediately told Akane about what happened. Akane responded wisely to her though and her words sound like she's trying to adjust Itou's mindset to be open to our situation.

And surprisingly, Itou was calmly responding to her but she's asking Akane how to get her sister to opt out in our complex relationship. Akane hasn't replied to that yet as she was waiting for me to answer it.

"I already like her sister, Akane. I can't give up on her."

Even if Itou or their father will be against it, I won't give up on Himeko.

"Then what about Maaya? "

With a smile on her lips, she also brought up Itou's name. Did she notice that I'm also quite interested in her?

"You think the only solution is to take her in as well?"

I haven't made plans for it yet but Akane bringing this up, she's probably set on helping me to achieve it.

"Un. And I could say, she's fairly interested in you too. Look at this."

Then she showed me their conversation before I brought Itou to meet Himeko.

She kept asking Akane things about me then she would make an excuse that she was just curious which Akane always accepted.

Not only she's helping me here at home, but she's also helping me to places I couldn't reach. This girl…

"We'll see. There might be more occurrences where I will be able to interact with her. Like the PE class on Friday."

We'll be having our PE Class with Fujii's class again. Right, I haven't seen Fujii's message yet. I'll look at it before we sleep.

"Work hard, husband!"

Akane encouraged me with a smile.

"Is this really fine with you, wife?"

Looking at Akane, she seems accepting of the idea and she's the one who brought this up.

"As long as it's someone you like as well. Besides I get along well with Maaya, I'll be able to teach her to accept our relationship."

Akane moved closer to me and buried herself back in my embrace before whispering these words, though there's no hint of sadness in it, I fear that she might be pushing herself to accept everything.

"Just don't overdo it, okay?"

I lifted her face to look at me and expressed my worry.

"I understand, husband."

She nodded before kissing me as assurance.

After that, we got to talk about what happened at Shio's house and the aftermath. Since it's kind of heavy for her and we don't really have a solution, we left it at that for now. Shio needed to clear her head up and decide what she wanted to do from now on.

Leaving the house is just a temporary solution and just like Nao said, we have to end it properly. One thing is for sure though, Shio and Nao, I won't give them back to him again.

Akane soon happily fell asleep in my arms. She once told me that my warmth was making her sleep very well. Even if we're too tired during the night, she'll wake up the next day refreshed.

I checked my phone first and saw Fujii's message, tomorrow after PE will be our first scheduled meetup. As to where we will spend the time together, she mentioned to leave it to her.

The two girls I brought home will be both mentally tired. Though I should also be tired like them, I guess I'm already used to it. Hugging Akane tighter, I also let myself succumb to sleep.

When the morning came, Akane woke me up since she couldn't get out of my embrace. Because of that, I also decided to get up together with her.

After how many days, we got to work in the kitchen together once again to prepare our breakfast. With two additional mouths to feed, Akane made it special to flaunt her housewife skills to her new competitors. If it concerned this kind of thing, a little competition wasn't that bad. I will be able to taste different flavors just like how they are different from each other.

Err. That sounds lewd in a way.

After we finished our exercise, Miwa-nee, Minoru and Nao were already downstairs. Nao asked me if she could also use the mini-gym.

To keep her figure, she's also regularly doing exercise. I remembered her love for sweets that each day she'll have at least three.

Akane went to prepare coffee for everyone while I went up to check on Shio after wiping my sweat from the exercise.

"Shio, are you awake?"

I saw Shio moving around the bed when I entered the room.

I went next to the bed and pulled the blanket that was draped over her face.

"You didn't knock."

Shio said when I successfully pulled the blanket off her. Her eyes were staring at me like a child being upset.

"Ah. This is my former room that not knocking already became a habit"

"I can tell. Your smell is in this bed, along with the various smells of women."

Eh? But I'm changing the bedsheet every time. Lingering scent?

"Sorry, we couldn't prepare a better room."

It's already a wonder that Akane managed to prepare one of the rooms for Nao.

"It's fine, Ruru. Your smell, it's making me calm down."

Shio said while she lifted the blanket again to sniff it.

"Then do you want to stay there? We already prepared breakfast."

Ignoring what she just did, I asked her with the reason I came here in this room.

"Stay here. With you."

Shio pulled on my hand as if asking me not to go away.

"Since when did my Shio become this cute?"

I guess this is her trying to cope with the changes.

"Don't call me cute..."

Shio pouted before pulling on my hand again.

"Well, you are acting like one. Let's go. You should make a call to the school too."

Instead of being pulled down with her, I lean on the bed to help her get up.

"Uhh. Won't you lie down with me for a minute?"

Shio refused to get up and looked up at me with her pleading eyes.

Err... That's kind of irresistible.

"Alright. It's rare seeing Ms. Miyazaki acting this cute. If the class knew about it, they'll surely be surprised."

Calling her Ms. Miyazaki again elicited another pout from her.

"Don't call me like that when we're alone."

She silently whispered her complaint. Though I already noticed it before, Shio really doesn't like it when I'm calling her like that, maybe it's reminding her that she's my teacher and that's restricting her so she told me to call her by the name she told me to call her when we're alone.

"I just wanted to tease you, Shio."

I said as I climbed up on the bed just like last night and lay down beside her.

"Ruki…"

Shio immediately hugged me as she called me without using the nickname she had given me.

"Hmm?"

"I still can't decide what to do."

Ah. She's already thinking about what to do next and seeing she couldn't decide, she wanted to hear my opinion.

"Don't worry about it. For today, free your mind from the problems."

I turned my body to face her and said it while staring at her eyes.

"Stay here with me?"

Shio sweetly asked while our gazes were locked onto each other's face.

"Ah. As much as I want to but I need to go to school."

I can't miss a school day, there's not only Shio after all.? Plus, studying well. Err, if it could help with our future then I'll diligently do it.

"Then come home early."

"Alright, I'll try to but you have to promise me, you won't think of the problem for today. Your husband or anything that happened yesterday. Clear your mind so that you could think better tomorrow."

"…I promise."

After deliberating for a while, Shio answered.

"Good. Then let's go, they're waiting downstairs."

After saying that. I kissed her lips before dragging her out of the bed.

I'll rely on Miwa-nee today to help Shio while I'm at school. Also, I need to think about what to do with Nao. I haven't asked her about her school yet and will it really be fine if I let her go today?

Ah. I guess I'll let her decide. That guy won't openly make a scene or his career will be over.
