Chapter 232: A little devil.

--Saturday, May 30, 2172

In the middle of the main hall of the Saito mansion, Kai slept peacefully in Keiko’s arms, who had a warm smile on her face as she gently caressed the young man’s sleeping face. At that moment, Nemuri came down the stairs and walked over to the sofa, where she softly touched Kai’s cheek and spoke in a gentle voice.

“The bath is ready.”

“Why don’t we let him sleep a bit…? He’s really tired…”

Yumiko, who was checking her phone with Kai’s legs resting on her lap, looked at Nemuri and spoke in a low voice. Nemuri hesitated for a few seconds as she looked at the sleeping Kai, but just then, Kai’s eyes fluttered slightly before opening. Still looking quite drowsy, Kai spoke as he pulled away from Keiko.

“I’ll take a bath and eat before going to sleep… I spent a lot of energy…”

“Let me help you!!”

At that moment, Nejire jumped down the stairs and announced, full of energy. Everyone turned to look toward the staircase, where they found Nejire with a beautiful smile on her face, wearing a light-blue bathrobe that suggested she had nothing on underneath. Before anyone could say anything, Nejire ran toward Kai, took one of his arms, pulled him toward her, and spoke with a grin.

“Just like old times, this Onee-chan is going to wash you, Kai-chan!”

Like a whirlwind of energy, Nejire quickly scooped up the sleepy Kai as if he were a princess and dashed upstairs, leaving Nemuri, Keiko, and Yumiko staring at each other completely speechless. After a few seconds, Nemuri chuckled softly and spoke with genuine cheer.

“Fufu, it’s impossible to get bored with Nejire around.”

“… I feel like I should be worried… but nothing’s coming to me…” Yumiko remarked with a slightly conflicted expression as she looked toward the stairs, which made Keiko and Nemuri laugh. The beautiful black-haired mother stood up and spoke in a calm voice.

“What’s the point in worrying at this stage? Things are the way they are, so let’s not overthink it and just go with the flow. Everyone’s happy, and that’s what matters.”

“You know, I never expected to hear you say something like that.” Nemuri commented, looking at Keiko with a hint of surprise. Keiko looked back with a smug smile and replied as she started walking toward the stairs.

“I’m still annoyed that you all got involved with my Kai behind my back, but in life, you have to make concessions, and Kai’s peace and comfort are worth any price.”

“How mature of you…”

Yumiko rose from the sofa and spoke in a playful tone as she watched Keiko climb the stairs, who simply waved dismissively and continued on her way. At that moment, Nemuri turned to Yumiko and spoke in a calm but warm voice.

“Even though I’ve said this a few times, I never get tired of saying it. Thank you for letting me be so happy.”

“There’s nothing to thank me for.” Yumiko smiled at Nemuri. “Like Nejire says, it’s better to be a happy weirdo than a depressed normie. For now, let’s just keep moving forward. I want to see where this takes us.”

“Thanks.” Nemuri smiled happily, while Yumiko went back to checking her phone. After putting it away, Yumiko looked at Nemuri and spoke with a smile.

“Stop thanking me already; it gets annoying. And take care of the family; I need to step into the office for a moment.”

“Leave it to me.” Nemuri replied with a smile, to which Yumiko waved her hand and walked toward the mansion’s garage.

Once Yumiko disappeared through the door, Nemuri stared at it for a few seconds before laughing in pure happiness. Soon, she began to walk toward the stairs with incredibly light steps, as if she didn’t have a care in the world.

When she reached the second floor, Nemuri walked straight to Kai’s room and opened the door as if it were second nature. A playful smile instantly spread across her face. The room was filled with the soft scent of relaxing incense and was dimly lit, with only a projection of a starry night sky on the ceiling.

What truly made Nemuri smile, though, was the bed—on the floor, there was a trail of rose petals leading to the bathroom. Meanwhile, on the bed, there were several adorable plushies shaped like every member of the family: Kai, Nejire, Momo, Shino, Ryuko, Tomoko, Chatora, Keiko, Yumiko, Nemuri herself, and even Salem and Tama. Nejire had really gone all out.

With a cheerful smile, Nemuri walked toward the bathroom, which had its door wide open. Inside, she saw Kai in the bubble-filled bathtub, half-asleep, while Nejire—wearing a beautiful light-blue bikini—was gently washing his shoulders with a soft sponge.

“Need a hand?” Nemuri asked in a sing-song tone, catching Nejire’s attention. The latter turned with a bright smile.

“I’ll leave the hair to you!”

“Leave it to me…”

Nemuri replied playfully, quickly unfastening the straps of her gray cloth overalls, which slid down her smooth skin to reveal comfortable blue boyshorts under her white blouse. After removing the blouse, Nemuri was left in a simple but comfortable blue lingerie set. She neatly placed her clothes on a nearby shelf before walking lightly toward the tub.

“Wow, bold much!”

Nejire remarked, glancing at Nemuri—even though her underwear was plain and not particularly seductive, her body seemed crafted to spark desire in anyone, making her look incredibly sensual regardless. Nemuri chuckled and replied as she grabbed the shampoo from a nearby shelf.

“It’s nothing; it’s just underwear.”

“You’re super mature, Onee-chan! Will I be like that too?” Nejire asked with shining eyes, not stopping her washing of Kai’s arms. Nemuri replied calmly while lathering Kai’s hair, who was more asleep than awake.

“Of course, it’s part of growing up. Naturally, you start caring less about some things and valuing others more. It’s part of life. Though, some things never change.”

“That’s true. I feel like I’ll never stop loving Kai, no matter how much time passes…” Nejire said softly, contemplatively, before looking at Nemuri with doubt.

“Do you think I’m obsessed with Kai?”

“Maybe, but I don’t think that’s necessarily a bad thing.” Nemuri met Nejire’s gaze with a smile. “I don’t have much experience myself, but Alisa used to say that a woman’s love always involves a certain level of obsession. We’re so emotional that if we don’t live our love to the fullest, we’ll never feel satisfied. And she was a very renowned therapist, so she knew what she was talking about.”

“If Aunt Alisa said so, then it must be true… And thinking about it, I’ve always kept Kai in my heart, and I’ve never felt unsatisfied…” Nejire reflected aloud, momentarily stopping her washing of Kai. But soon her eyes lit up again, and she smiled at Nemuri.

“Maybe obsession makes me happy.”

“Fufu, if you’re not hurting anyone, be happy. Life is meant to be enjoyed.” Nemuri replied with a smile, to which Nejire nodded enthusiastically. At that moment, a woman’s voice came from the bathroom door, drawing both women’s attention.

“Alisa, though she was a great therapist, had some rather ‘controversial’ opinions, so take her words with a grain of salt.”

Keiko, standing at the door in a sensual red nightgown, spoke with an amused smile at their surprised expressions. Confidently, she walked toward the bathtub, where Kai was nodding off, and added in a calm tone.

“Though I do think she had a point about the obsession…”

“Why did you change…?” Nemuri asked with a hint of surprise, eyeing Keiko’s nightgown. Keiko looked her up and down and shot back with a smile.

“Well, it’s been a long time since I slept with my Kai. And since I imagine you two plan on doing it, I don’t see why I shouldn’t as well.”

“Then it’ll be a pajama party! I’ll tell Mom!” Nejire exclaimed full of emotion, her eyes shining with a hint of mischief. Nemuri shook her head and explained.

“Yumiko went to the office.”

“Oh, that’s a shame… I wanted all of us to sleep together…” Nejire said, slightly disappointed, which made Keiko laugh. After gently touching Kai’s cheek and getting a sleepy, glassy-eyed look in return, Keiko spoke with a small smile.

“I’ll go check how Momo’s doing with the food. Even if he’s exhausted, it’s not good for Kai to eat something too heavy before bed.”

After speaking, Keiko left the bathroom at a relaxed pace, prompting Nejire and Nemuri to exchange a look of mixed confusion and surprise. After a few seconds, Nejire asked in a doubtful voice.

“Onee-chan… Do you think…?”

Although Nejire didn’t finish her question, Nemuri knew exactly what she meant—Keiko seemed to be sending strange signals. While nothing explicit had been said, any woman could see that Keiko had certain ‘ideas’ and was testing the waters. But instead of worrying, the realization thrilled Nemuri so much she had to press her thighs together and brace for a change of underwear.

The thought of her Kai enjoying an ‘oyakodon’ while she looked away was so taboo and immoral that it made her mouth water. The idea of a beautiful, experienced mother teaching her innocent daughter step-by-step how to please the man of her life was a scene she felt she needed to witness at least once. The orgasm it would give her would be unforgettable—probably on par with her first time.

Still, as tempting as it was, Nemuri preferred never to realize that fantasy if it meant hurting her Kai or any of her ‘sisters.’ Their relationship was too beautiful to risk over a mere fantasy, and Momo could be seriously affected—not to mention Kai or even Nejire. It was something she had to handle very carefully.

“I don’t know, but… does it bother you?” Nemuri, calming her arousal, looked at Nejire and asked cryptically while subtly covering Kai’s ears. Nejire replied with an unusually sly smile.

“On the contrary, it might help convince Mom.”

Hearing this, Nemuri couldn’t help widening her eyes in shock, then asking in a low voice, feeling her body melt and her underwear completely soaked.

“You… with Yumiko…?”

“Fufu, it’d be interesting, don’t you think? Life would get several times more fun.”

Nejire’s smile was a mix of lust, cunning, and mischief—a stark contrast to her usual innocent, bubbly demeanor, almost like she was another person entirely. But her words only made a lustful, ‘wicked’ grin spread across Nemuri’s face as she whispered, feeling a trickle of viscous liquid down her thigh.

“You’re quite ‘naughty,’ fufu. I like you.”

“I just want to enjoy life. If we’re all happy, then we’re doing things right!” Nejire replied with an innocent, cheerful smile, making Nemuri laugh. She reached out to brush a strand of blue hair from the girl’s face and spoke with a small smile.

“You’re a little devil. But be careful—people’s hearts are fragile and unpredictable; don’t push too far.”

“Don’t worry, it’s just an idea. If it happens, great, but if not, life’s already plenty of fun as it is.” Nejire replied happily, making Nemuri nod in satisfaction. Seeing that Kai had completely fallen asleep in the tub, Nemuri smiled.

“Well, let’s not neglect Kai. Let’s finish up.”

“Yes!” Nejire replied with a bright smile and renewed energy as she resumed washing Kai.

…

After washing Kai’s hair, Nemuri and Nejire quickly finished washing the rest of his body, then dressed him in dark shorts and a white sweatshirt before laying him on the bed. At that moment, Kai’s stomach growled loudly, making them laugh.

“Even asleep, he’s hungry, fufu.” Nejire said playfully. Nemuri then gently nudged Kai while calling to him in a tender voice.

“Kai, eat a little; the food downstairs should be ready…”

After a few minutes, Kai finally opened his eyes and still a bit lost, got up and began walking out of the room. Nejire and Nemuri quickly supported him and helped him downstairs. When they reached the dining room, the three found Momo setting plates on the table with Mrs. Yoshiko, while Keiko sipped a glass of wine in one of the chairs.

Without saying a word, Kai began eating quickly, still half-asleep, which worried Momo greatly. She immediately started cleaning and helping him, quickly joined by Nemuri and Nejire. After eating his fill, Kai fell asleep right there at the table, bringing affectionate smiles to the girls’ faces.

“Let’s take him to bed.” Momo said with a smile, wiping Kai’s mouth with a white cloth. Nemuri quickly nodded.

“Leave it to me.”

She promptly picked Kai up from the table and carried him upstairs, followed by Momo and Nejire. At that moment, Keiko set her wine glass aside and headed toward the stairs, leaving Mrs. Yoshiko, who calmly began cleaning everything up with a serene smile on her face.
