Cleaning.
Nifuji knew that Wakana loved to clean, and because of that, he didn't say anything when she lay between his legs, licking his cock, and sucked it deep to clean up everything.
Yet, for her, who was just a virgin before, to do all of these naughty acts without worry was just a little too much, Nifuji thought.
Did he corrupt her?
Probably, yet somehow, her smile was just strangely beautiful.
Still, because they couldn't get enough, they tried to play in many places except for the entrance of her home,
Yet, the face of her, as she tied her hair into a ponytail once again with her red ribbon, gave him a shiver down his spine.
However, while it was wrong, Nifuji also looked at Wakana's room, which was practically empty. Except for a futon for a single person, a tatami floor, and even a small table, the rest was practically nothing, not even a single photo of her family.
While in the current era, it didn't even matter if one didn't have a family photo, especially when they had a smartphone, which made them able to keep all the important photos there, he just felt that there was this unsettled feeling, like she had nothing.
'It's just my own thoughts.'
Also, even if Wakana had nothing, she had him now.
It might sound corny, but as she had given herself to him, he was her responsibility, as long as she chose to be with him.
Neither was sure about the future, but as Wakana decided to be with him, Nifuji would take care of her.
Regardless, it made him feel strange when he saw the reward that he got from Wakana.
[Wakana Kinme has been registered as a No. 11 Sugar Daughter].
[Congratulations, you have received "Onsen" as your reward.]
"...."
What the heck was an onsen?
No, he knew about an onsen, but he just wondered why the name of this ability was an onsen, which was a hot spring.
Yet, when he read the function of this ability, it practically told him that he had become an instant hot spring.
'The example is a bit difficult.'
Let's say that he was a bit similar to an instant teabag.
The teabag, which was put into the hot water, would turn it into tea.
In Nifuji's case, as long as he wished to, a bath, warm water, or even himself would have the properties of a hot spring; naturally, the benefits, too.
If he were cold, his body would keep him warm, and if he was close to others, such as what Wakana did to him, that she even drank it instead of just gaining a protein, she might also gain a benefits in stress relief, pain reduction for muscles/joints, improved blood circulation, better skin health (especially with sulfur), enhanced sleep, and potential cardiovascular advantages.
Yes, it was a strength, but Nifuji just shut his mouth, knowing that with this ability he might discover an onsen source, which in this country was worth as much as an oil well.
Moreover, he could have turned that onsen into a geothermal energy source, which would have made him a lot of money, right?
Regardless, he decided to try the effect immediately by bringing Wakana to her bathroom, but he had to admit it was quite "small."
Even though the bathroom was unexpectedly small, it had a bathtub.
"Can you fit in?"
Wakana asked, laughing as she looked at Nifuji, who seemed to be big inside her bathtub. If she had to say, he was like a child who played inside the crate, but as it was too small, his legs had to squeeze.
"...it's fine."
Nifuji gave up and decided to stand up, leaving the bathtub.
"There is a public bath nearby. If you want, you can go there, you know?"
Yup, her place was too small, so Wakana thought that if Nifuji wanted a bigger place, he could visit the nearby public bath.
"Public bath?"
Nifuji was silent for a moment, thinking about how he would be surrounded by all the other naked men as he rested in the onsen. While he knew that it was the tradition and nothing was weird, if Wakana wanted to go there, he was fine with it, even though he was a bit disappointed that they couldn't stay at the same place.
After all, unlike those onsen hotels where it was allowed to have a private bath, where it was only the two of them, the public bath meant that they had to share it with everyone, and entered the place based on their genders.
"Ah, no, it's better if you don't enter."
Nifuji looked strangely at Wakana, who suddenly said, "Why?"
"Well... I am afraid that those men can't look away from you..."
With how handsome Nifuji was, Wakana felt like Nifuji might be in danger as he entered the public bathroom despite having an immense object between his legs.
"..." Nifuji.
"You should enter the bath first, then."
"Eh?"
"You are about to work again, right?"
"..." Wakana.
Unlike Nifuji, who had his subordinates to handle many things, Wakana was a single business owner, so while she was exhausted, she thought of opening her shop to handle all of her clients who came.
If there was something fortunate, it was how she had handled all the washing, but somehow... as she entered the bathtub and squeezed her legs together, her body just gave up.
Yup, she didn't want to work.
Yet, as a business owner, what could she do?
She had to be responsible for herself unless—
"Should I hire someone?"
At least, if something had happened, such as this situation where her legs had just given up and she wanted to sleep, having someone who could help her work might be good.
"That's a good idea."
"I will search for one, then."
With Nifuji's words, her doubts disappeared, and she thought of having to hire someone.
"Do you need me to help you?"
"...do you want to help me?" Wakana asked with surprise, as she had never expected those words.
"Well, my help will be money instead of time and effort, though."
"..." Wakana.
"Ah, no, no. It's fine. I have enough to hire a part-timer, you know?"
"It might be enough to hire, but what about your living?"
"....." Wakana.
Yes, even if she had enough to hire a part-timer, would she have the money to handle food, rent, electricity, water, and all the other things?
No, she could, but it would be quite limited, as she would scrape by.
"Do you love this job?" Nifuji asked.
"I do." Wakana nodded and answered him without hesitation.
Nifuji smiled and said, "Then, accept it. You have become my responsibility, and isn't it normal for a husband to provide for his family?"
"Family..."
Wakana's face felt so hot that she felt she might pass out, especially when she was still in the hot bathtub, yet at the same time, tears streamed from her eyes.
Why did you cry?
Nifuji wanted to ask that, but he took a deep breath and just hugged her. "Let's dry your body and rest."
"...okay."
Wakana knew that she might explain her past, something that she tried to hide, as she was afraid that Nifuji's view toward her might change, yet for now, she loved the feeling of having him by her side.
