Chapter 2293: Start of the New Week (1)
Chapter 2293: Start of the New Week (1)
After our morning exercise in the bathroom, Miwa-nee and I worked together for our breakfast right away. Akane had woken up as she pouted at me for not waking her up the same as I did.
Of course, making an excuse wasn't something I was inclined to do so I honestly told her that I wanted her to rest more because her period would exhaust her again today.
Akane glared at me for a bit before her clinginess once again got amplified, telling me to pamper her more today because she didn't let me help with the side effect of the tea.
Who am I to reject that?
Akane's pout was just too adorable to resist. She beamed at me with her usual silly smile before moving to the dining table to watch me work.
It was always times like these that reminded me why I was so drawn to her. Her childishness was just one part of her charm that never failed to warm me up.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
On the side, Miwa-nee giggled at Akane's display, her cheeks still a little flushed from our recent tryst.
As we went about cooking, she whispered, "I'm sure she'll find other ways for you to make it up to her today."
"Don't worry, Miwa-nee," I winked. "I've got it all planned out."
Once we finished our breakfast, Miwa-nee checked on Minoru if the boy was already awake. With her confirmation that he was still fast asleep, she returned downstairs to start doing house chores again. I couldn't stop her from that.
As for Akane and I, we went to the mini-gym to do our daily routine of morning exercises and a thousand swings of the tennis racket before we took a bath together, preparing for school. While Akane was taking her time in preparing, I did Mizuki's daily business lesson and quiz and then practiced the basic tunes on the keyboard while reading score sheets that Miho left behind, slowly memorizing them.
"Alright, we're off, Miwa-nee. See you later. I'll give Mizuki a call about your cafe idea," I said, giving her a quick peck on the lips as we parted ways at the door.
Akane and I headed to the station hand in hand while also clinging tightly to me. We were then joined by Fuyu, who sneakily did the same before we reached their school.
We were a little too early so Eri and Futaba were nowhere in sight. In any case, that gave me more time to linger before continuing to my school.
This time, my feet led me to Aika's house. When she saw me outside, my girl jumped at me like a cat on a mouse, throwing her arms around my neck and kissing me deeply.
Yep. I didn't tell her I was going to pick her up so... it was double the surprise for her. We held each other tight, our bodies fitting together like two pieces of a puzzle.
"Nyahaha... My day is made. My Ruki picked me up." While rubbing her cheek on my arm, we walked along the streets towards her school. I once again disguised myself slightly, just to make sure that no one would recognize me to be the guy who had just sent another pair of girls earlier.
As we approached the school gates, Aika reluctantly parted with me, saying she missed me more than usual today. I promised to make it up to her later, which earned me another passionate kiss before she dashed into the school, her skirt fluttering like a pink ribbon in the wind. I couldn't help but smile as I watched her go.
Really, how adorable can they be?
I looked at the time and figured out I could wait for more of them.
This time, I messaged them so we would just be meeting near the school.
One by one, my girls arrived at the designated meeting spot. Yae with her usual bright smile. The pair of Yukari and Elizabeth. Aoi and even Ria who should be going to a different school. Then, Ririka, Hiyori and Mizuki.
Unfortunately, Miho, Yua, Miyako, Otoha, and Hifumi were already inside the campus. I missed them when I went to pick up Aika. Well, they joined through video call though, not wanting to miss out.
After sending them all to school as well, I was left with Ria who I also decided to escort to her school.
"Dumb-senpai, I missed you a lot. I feel like I'm losing out against those juniors you recently picked up."
As we walked the narrow street that would lead us straight to her school, the normally mature Ria expressed her feelings with such innocence and vulnerability that it was impossible not to feel a tug at my heartstrings.
"You're not losing out though. You know how much I love you. If it's only possible I'll always bring you home with me." I reassured her with a gentle smile.
But as always, she's a little unconvinced. "Eh... Dumb-senpai, you recently went to Tokyo and you still have that issue with Sister Marika. Will you still have time for me?"
"Always, Ria. I'll always make time for you. Should we skip class then?" I teased her, which I knew she wouldn't take.
She's like that, Ria. She's only like this because she missed me and she's capitalizing our moment to its maximum potential.
"That's bad, Dumb-senpai. Anyway, I want more kisses. I haven't gotten any from you recently." Ria pouted, her voice carrying a playful whine that was hard to resist.
I couldn't help but chuckle at her adorableness. "Alright. Come here. I'll give you enough to not forget about me for the whole day."
"Make it a whole week!" Ria exclaimed, throwing her arms around my neck and pulling my face towards hers. Our lips met in a passionate kiss that seemed to melt the longing we had for
each other.
The world around us faded away as our tongues entangled and our hearts raced in time with the rhythm of our embrace.
When our lips separated, her cheeks remained flushed red and her eyes glazed with satisfaction. She leaned into my chest as she whispered sweetly, "I love you, Dumb-senpai."
"Mhm... I love you too. Don't stop sending me problem questions to solve. It's making my head hurt but refreshed all the time."
"Hehe. I know. That's my purpose for doing that. You keep yourself busy. It's for your relaxation."
"Relaxation, huh? Why does it make my head hurt, then?"
"It's because you love a good challenge, Dumb-senpai." Ria giggled, her eyes sparkling with mischief as she stepped back. She looked up at me, her smile gentle yet playful. "But I'll keep it to a reasonable level. I don't want to see you growing lines on your forehead."
"Right. Right. My Ria is so thoughtful."
"Praise me more," Ria demanded, her cheeks still tinted from our kiss.
Not failing her, I kept on praising my lovely Ria for the entire duration of our walk to her school. She would make a comeback by praising and scolding me as well though. She had a lot of complaints on my issues recently but her logical views were always a welcome treat for me.
Before I separated from her, we shared more kisses that bordered on a more intimate moment. Obviously, we stopped ourselves before someone spotted us.
