Chapter 128 - In Their Arms (1/2)

”Huaaa!”

Okusan stretched her arms wide before scratching her head. One of the shoulder slings of her nighty had already reached down to her bicep, threatening to fall and reveal her generous bosom when suddenly, she heard a soft mewl.

”Hmm~”

Snapping her head towards the drooling Mitsuko, she sighed before getting out of the bed. Unlike the Souma family, she had the habit of waking early and preparing for the day before leaving for the gym and training for two hours, of course, so that she could eat anything she loved for the whole day.

Tying her hair up rather loosely, Kyouko tucked Mitsuko in while she stepped softly while making her way towards the bathroom.

'Sigh... it's already been five days...'

Kyouko thought with a heavy heart as she couldn't help but wish to communicate with Nik. But after Nik's departure, Mitsuko had actually made sure that everyone was clear that Nik would be adventuring in a dangerous place— if he was speaking the truth— and their sudden communication might disrupt him at the worse possible moment.

The thought of which sent chills to their spine, even Kaya was soon made to understand the situation.

Although Sayako and Souko and Kaya didn't truly have a strong relationship with Nik, there was something within them that kept on nurturing their feelings for Nik, something they were glad about, especially Sayako.

Although they had vowed internally to have a 'pure' relationship with Nik, it was easier said than done. While Mitsuko, Kurumi and Okusan had the liberty to spend some quality time with Nik, the same couldn't be said for the other three.

And the sudden abstinence from sex was quite torturous for the trio. Deep down, they were glad that they had their relationship as a partner with Nik to force them to avoid strange men, else, by now, the trio would have lost their chance at a relationship with someone worthy enough to be a man in front of their eyes.

And honestly, the thought of leaving Nik... and his cock for some worthless shaft made them sigh in frustration at their past selves' actions.

Back then, they had no way to tap into quality, so they sought after quantity. But now, after eating 'that' quality dish, even though they were still somewhat chained by their past urges, their actions against other men had grown quite tame.

Something, the trio saw as the sign if their own growth and maturity.

Meanwhile, Megumi... she was one step away from exploding, and Kurumi felt that the sight of Nik's face would be that last step.

Of course, due to Kaya's association with their... party, her youngest daughter, Gunta's sister also became a frequent visitor of the family after making acquaintance with the school bella Kurumi was.

As Kyouko stepped out of the room, a sudden scent grazed past her nose, making her shake her head immediately!

'I am even hallucinating scent? Wow...'

Kyouko mocked herself as she felt the soothing scent disappearing after she regained her bearings.

'Nik still isn't here... huh!'

She exhaled heavily before making her way to the bathroom and opened it without paying much attention.

The moment she opened the door, her expression immediately froze up as she saw a familiar figure brushing his teeth. Through the mirror, she could see the familiar face... albeit, he had a rather hot beard and his face seemed to have grown a bit more defined. His lips and stubbly moustache covered in the froth of the toothpaste while his violet eyes showed a reaction when their gazes met through each other's reflection.

'Snap out of it!'

Kyouko exhaled and shook her head while she failed to see the man immediately gargling quickly, but she could still hear it.

Her eyes snapped open and Nik had already turned back. The lower portion of his face remained wet, but clean while his eyes glowed brightly, a warm smile on his face as a soft whisper that shook Kyouko's body emerged from his lips.

”Yo! I'm back.”

”Nik?”

Kyouko gulped a lump of saliva before her eyes grew brighter.

”Yeah?”

Nik smiled as he walked forward. He had already returned for almost 2 hours but didn't have the heart to wake any of them up. And neither was he willing to enjoy Kyouko's exaggerated reaction. He truly missed her and he need Kyouko in his arms.

He immediately pulled her into a loving embrace, even though her bosom once again itched his heart, Nik made sure that no visible reaction remained for he simply enjoyed her warmth and the feel of her back.

Meanwhile, Okusan's head was already buried into his chest, her arms encroaching up his back as her hold grew tighter. The soft sniveling sound slowly grew prominent, but Nik made no effort to console her.

He had returned, it was a fact. And now, Okusan needed to release her pent-up emotions, too.

Their embrace continued for a few minutes before Nik finally started stroking her back when he felt her breathing calm down.
