Stealing Spree



Several minutes later, the three of us exited that bathroom together. With how sticky we became, it’s in order to take a shower. And with the mother and daughter pair joining in with me, it also became an extension of what we started.

I told Mina that we’re not done yet, after all. Another round happened while the three of us bathed underneath the shower.

Once we were done, I followed Yayoi-san to her room because she said she has some shirts that can fit me. It’s not someone else’s possession but something more like a leftover souvenir from one of the sponsorships her salon received.

Even after distributing it to all her patrons and employees, she was still left with a stack of it. It’s not much of a fancy shirt and everything has an identical design so no one wanted another piece. Due to that, she had no choice but to bring them home.

Thankfully, the color of the shirt wasn’t too bright or girly. It’s an indigo shirt with a small print in the middle. As for what was printed on the shirt, it’s a mascot’s face. Fluffy lion doll reminiscent of that one comical character from a certain popular manga about Shinigami.

Apparently, it was the logo of the sponsor. There’s also the name of Yayoi-san’s salon printed in small font, it was almost negligible.

In any case, the shirt aside, being invited inside her room was what made me more enlivened. There’s a saying that one’s room is like a mirror of oneself. And sure enough, upon observing it clearly, it felt like I could understand Yayoi-san more.

She’s a hardworking mother who truly threw away her chances at finding happiness for the sake of her daughter. Apart from that, there were also traces of how hurt she was from the betrayal she received years ago.

For example, the framed family photo on her bedside table which had a part of it torn off. It was an old photo where Mina still had her brilliant smile and outgoing personality.

Obviously, the one removed from it was her former husband who stupidly threw them away for another woman and even had the gall to take her to court instead of simply filing a divorce.

Yayoi-san was fortunate that the evidence piled up against him which resulted in her winning the defense. However, if the case went the other way, their life would definitely be more miserable than how it was. I mean, even without it, they already suffered so much that their only avenue for a normal life was to move out of their hometown.

While I’m probably not any better, I still can’t help but be thankful that I managed to enter their life.

Although it was still faint, I could already see some color which indicated Yayoi-san’s happiness returning to this room.

“Oh. Maybe it’s about time I change the photo framed in there. Ruki-dear, do you mind taking a photo with us?”

Noticing how I got stuck staring at that photo frame, Yayoi-san who already put on a new dress that once again showcased her alluring body walked towards me.

Before answering her, I found myself stepping forward to put her in my embrace. It was an unconscious action that was born from what I realized after observing her room.

“I don’t mind at all, Yayoi-san. I’m glad to be part of that.”

“Are you being emotional to me now? That’s surprising, to say the least. But I don’t hate it. I said it before. You’re more mature than most boys your age. That’s definitely why I’m so drawn to you that I broke a taboo from this society.”

“I’m not some cold-blooded guy, you know? I’m always emotional when it comes to the people important to me... In any case, don’t mind the taboo... When the time comes, I’m aiming to bend that to accommodate us. I promised to take care of you and Mina. I’ll do everything to accomplish that even in the far future...”

“That’s a promise, Ruki-dear. I trust that you won’t disappoint us.” Yayoi-san said as she slowly guided me to her bed.

A few minutes later, while lying on my back on her fluffy bed, Yayoi-san was securely and comfortably sleeping on top of me.

Then at my right side, Mina, who looked for us after noticing that we were not coming out of this room, was the same. Not only I disturbed their nap time, but I also exhausted them to the point that they quickly fell asleep in the comfort of my embrace.

As for me, although I could feel some exhaustion, I was still energetic enough that there would be no problem for me to come to the boxing gym later without looking haggard.

Nonetheless, since I still have spare time, I also let myself drift off to sleep alongside my two lovely women.

After waking up an hour later, the three of us returned to the living room, looking refreshed.

Since they’re both aware of my part-time job today, Yayoi-san offered to drive me near the gym again just like the last time. However, she insisted on taking out the snacks she baked earlier while Mina prepared tea for us.

In one or another, it became another situation where the two tried to compete with each other even if they were presenting two different items.

As their diligent and honest man, I still caved in facilitating that absurd competition while enjoying that few more minutes of bliss with the two of them.

In total, my visit lasted for more than two hours – one hour of it was spent napping inside Yayoi-san’s room. And it was more than satisfying.

Our relationship deepened more and the guilt bugging Yayoi-san decreased significantly. Additionally, Mina successfully passed on to her mother the idea that they might not be the only women in my life. It was still in its infancy and Yayoi-san had yet to fully understand it. But that’s the start.

As much as possible I didn’t want to continue keeping her in the dark but it was entirely necessary for this kind of approach to happen. Even though there’s still a huge possibility that she would end up disappointed or hurt with this method, it’s better than dropping it to her all at once.

Ugh. Now that I think about it, I should’ve done the same with Juri. That’s really idiotic of me...

Anyway, once I finished my preparation, Yayoi-san and I walked out of the house. But perhaps not wanting to be left behind, Mina ran out to accompany us as well.

At the moment, with Yayoi-san starting the car, Mina successfully pulled me out of the passenger’s seat to join her at the back.

That made her mother shake her head but instead of being jealous, she simply scolded us to put on our seatbelts.

“I can’t believe two hours have already passed since you arrived, Ruki. It felt like one... Is it because of...?”

“That’s how it is. It is entirely normal to forget the passage of time when we’re enjoying ourselves. That’s why there are those game otakus who will game for the whole day with their initial excuse of ‘just one more game’ that started in the morning.”

“Hmm. Does Mii-chan want to keep you here for longer, Ruki-dear?”

“She does. What about you, Yayoi-san?”

“I do as well. Regrettably, finding your path is also important.”

Upon saying that, she looked at us through the rearview mirror before stepping onto the gas.

With that conversation as a start, this escort trip to my part-time job became another extension of our great time today.

Unfortunately, accidents do happen.

Halfway through that trip, one of the tires of Yayoi-san’s car blew up and she had to drive towards the nearest mechanic shop.

After getting the estimate of the time needed to fix it, Yayoi-san urged me to leave them behind and use public transport instead to continue my trip. Mina also pushed me on the back, saying I should start running before I arrive late at my part-time job.

In the end, after what felt like a really wonderful time with them, the conclusion became unfortunate.

And perhaps because I got so lucky today, misfortune started befalling me.

Upon my arrival at the train station, I ran into someone that I was instinctively avoiding...

“Senpai! What a lucky day! I finally caught you! I have so many questions!”

Who is it?

Well, it’s that little Yue fanatic who loves to preach about her greatness; Sumire. And like our first meeting, I saw her friend, Umi, trailing behind her.

From the looks of it, they had just finished their trip to a shopping mall to buy new merch and single that Yue released recently.
