Stealing Spree

Chapter 2290: What merit did I do...?

Sometime later, Miwa-nee and I cuddled on the sofa, both exhausted from the intense exercise. The TV was still playing some random show, but we couldnʼt really pay attention to it. Her head was on my chest, listening to the steady thump of my heart as she slotted herself deep in my embrace.

My fingers ran on her back, caressing her as we both tried to catch our breath. My cock was still throbbing from being squeezed by her and down below, the mixture of our essence dripped down from her sacred place. The scent of our desire filled the air.

”Miwa-nee, should I let you fall asleep and then carry you back to your bedroom?” I playfully asked, knowing she wouldnʼt want to move an inch after what we just did.

”Mm, maybe.” She mumbled, her eyes half-closed. But before I could stand up, she tightened her grip around me, her hand slipping down to rest on my abs. ”But not yet. I missed this too much.”

”Missed what?”

”Your warmth.” She answered her voice dropping to a murmur yet it came like a sweet delight. ”Everything. Being in your arms, feeling your heartbeat, your touch... Itʼs the sensation of being home.”

Home. That was what she called it. And I liked that. Being her home was an achievement in itself. It was something I could be proud of.

I kissed her forehead gently and whispered, ”Youʼre home now, Miwa-nee. No need to miss this anymore.”

Her eyes fluttered open, looking up at me with a soft smile. ”I know. But itʼs like... Iʼve been living in a different world these past few weeks. Itʼs hard to believe that Iʼm really here again.”

”Right. Minoru and I were not by your side.” I said with a gentle sigh. ”But thatʼs in the past now. Letʼs start making more memories. We can go on a trip again sometime.”

ʼWith how busy you are? You cheeky boy. Itʼs fine. Living with you is enough for now. I got a little money to my name so I thought I should do something with it. Like opening a business. That way, I wonʼt just be a freeloader to you.”

This woman... Sheʼs not even freeloading. Even before she left to settle the divorce, she was already providing. Although she was not giving me the money, I could tell from how our stocks were getting replenished or there were new items getting added to our pantry. Thatʼs why I couldnʼt even fill my cart during previous supermarket dates with Eimi. Not to mention, sheʼs also doing most of the house chores because Akane and I were going to school on weekdays.

I flicked her forehead before saying, ”My Miwa-nee is not a freeloader. This is your home. Our home. Allow me to correct you on that. That aside, do you have something in mind? What kind of business?”

Miwa-nee drew circles on my chest as she started telling me her ideas. She took a deep breath before speaking.

”Iʼve been thinking of opening a small cafe. You know, somewhere you can all go to after school or work. Maybe even host some small events for each of your clubs. All in all, its secondary purpose is for you and the others to have a place to gather in. Itʼs just an idea though. I need to do more research and planning.”

”I see. I think itʼs a good idea. Maybe I should let you talk with Mizuki? Youʼve met her already, right?” I suggested, referring her to my girl whose business acumen could be said to be a genius.

Miwa-nee nodded sleepily as she giggled, ”Mmhmm. Thatʼs what I was thinking too. Sheʼs so good at that kind of thing. Sheʼs also prepping you to enter her world, no? Maybe you two could start your business empire with me.”

I chuckled at that, ”Iʼm all for it, Miwa-nee. As long as it doesnʼt interfere with your time with Minoru.”

”Of course. Your Miwa-nee wonʼt forget her priorities. Iʼm thinking of sending him to preschool soon. You know. Seeing him play with Fubuki-chan earlier reminded me that he also needs more friends to grow up with.” She said, her voice filled with determination. That was something we agreed upon. It was time for Minoru to interact with other children his age. Plus, it would give her more time to focus on her plans and also for us to spend more time together. Itʼs a win-win for all of us.

As we continued with this topic and more, Miwa-nee gradually drifted off to sleep, her gentle snores echoing through the quiet living room. I couldnʼt help but smile as I looked down at her peaceful face. She was finally home. And I was going to do everything to make sure she felt that way.

A few minutes later, I carried her to their room as I promised. I had her finish drinking her cup of tea first though. It was the miraculous tea that could give anyone a good nightʼs sleep with just a cup. Any fatigue she accumulated would be gone in the morning.

After tucking her in, I brought that tea to our bedroom where I also woke up Akane to drink some before I finished the rest.

Before joining her on the bed, I did my nightly routine of checking on my girls. It doesnʼt matter if theyʼre already asleep or not. Iʼll send them a message or a voicemail if they are and talk to them through messages or videocall if theyʼre not asleep yet, catching up on each otherʼs day.

I checked on Sumire and Umi. But theyʼre already asleep. Thereʼs school tomorrow, after all. Then, I scolded the goofy Hanabi who just declared she would take an all-nighter watching a live-action drama because sheʼs bored. When I asked her about Matsuri, she whistled guiltily. Apparently, she made her twin sister so curious about why she kept on asking her to hang out that she was even taking the time to travel to the neighboring city each time.

Yep. That goofy girl still wanted to surprise her. She wouldnʼt tell her about me at all and would let us meet with the girl not knowing she was going to meet me.

Even when I scolded her about it, Hanabi just giggled meaningfully without explaining herself. What a headache.

Apart from that, I also didnʼt miss teasing Kazuha-nee, who I had started exchanging messages with after that night in her room. Sheʼs now reluctant to ask me for another visit. She still hadnʼt moved on from how crazy that night was... The thrill of doing that behind the door and while talking to Ogawa and Mami was probably something she wouldnʼt forget for a long time. Not to mention, not counting the day she got tempted during Hinaʼs birthday, it was her true first experience performing a sexual act with someone.

In any case, I also didnʼt want to force her. I kind of went overboard that night. I should reflect too. But if Iʼd be given a chance to go back in time, Iʼd probably do it again. I mean, could I resist Kazuha-nee?

As I was about to jump into bed with Akane, I received another surprise but this time, it was from someone who I never thought would initiate a video call.

I raised my phone with the camera pointing at my face as I tapped the ʼanswerʼ button. Not long after, the beautiful face of the egotistic girl who treated herself as a queen bee appeared on the screen. Her long, blonde hair was untied, giving her a different look than her usual ponytail. Sheʼs wearing sleepwear that wasnʼt a pair of pajamas, giving me a glimpse of her skin. But more importantly, she was sitting on her bed, her face red from embarrassment even though we hadnʼt started talking yet.

My lips curved up in a smile as I greeted her, ”Saionji-senpai, what merit did I do to be graced by your presence?”
