"Auntie Mao, let me help you wash?" Although Ho Fei-yu's tone was questioning, his hand had already reached for the shower gel placed beside the tub. He pressed the nozzle gently, squeezing out a dollop of thick, milky-white liquid.
Ho Fei-yu took it and smelled it under his nose. It had a faint rose fragrance. His eyes gazed at Mao Nakaizumi's fair and delicate back. His heart felt a slight itch. He leaned his head forward, his nose touching the soft skin. He closed his eyes and inhaled deeply in intoxication. Indeed, this was what Mao Nakaizumi usually used. He hadn't squeezed the wrong bottle.
Mao Nakaizumi felt the hot breath blowing on her back. It was ticklish, and a strange sensation lingered in her heart. Held by Ho Fei-yu, she wondered how he would misbehave.
When they first met, the young man had looked bright, cheerful, and positive, leaving a very good impression on her, especially since he protected Shiori Fuyutsuki. But after getting to know him better, she realized the young man was slightly domineering, sly, and particularly perverted. Earlier, her slender feet had spent most of their time in his hands, occasionally even going into his mouth. Perhaps the inclination had shown itself from the first time he helped treat her foot.
But she could no longer escape. Not only her body, but also her heart had taken the young man's shape. The three hours earlier had filled a void of more than ten years. She had to admit that she loved the young man's deep kisses, and she loved his gentle yet passionate movements. Likewise, he had once again saved Shiori and rescued her mother and daughter. Otherwise, she didn't know what their fate would have been. She had no intention of leaving. Even quietly becoming the young man's lover might be a good life, as long as he wanted her, she would give herself to him, only making sure Shiori didn't find out.
Ho Fei-yu's other hand, wrapped around Mao Nakaizumi's smooth, supple waist, brought up some water and poured it onto the shower gel to dilute it. Then, he rubbed his hands together to spread the soap.
"Ehh~"
"Auntie Mao, does that feel good?" Ho Fei-yu withdrew the hand wrapped around her waist and placed both hands entirely on Mao Nakaizumi's back, beginning to scrub. With his extraordinary control, every press was just right. Although he couldn't see Mao Nakaizumi's expression, hearing her voice told him she was comfortable, but Ho Fei-yu still asked, wanting to tease her.
"Hee~ Ha~ Haha~ Hee, stop it~ Haha, that tickles." Ho Fei-yu didn't hear an answer from Mao Nakaizumi and didn't mind. Feeling that her back was sufficiently scrubbed, his eyes suddenly noticed her pure white armpit. He slowly moved his hand closer, then touched it, beginning to scrub gently. Unexpectedly, Mao Nakaizumi had a ticklish body. Before Ho Fei-yu even began to tickle her, she started laughing, causing her body to tremble, and coincidentally, she was sitting right on him, causing Ho Fei-yu a headache.
"Auntie Mao, here and there need to be washed thoroughly too~" Frustrated, Ho Fei-yu had no choice but to move on, directing his hands elsewhere. One hand reached towards the snowy peaks, and the other explored the secret place, carefully cleaning the lingering traces. But the intimate setting made Ho Fei-yu want to tease her again. He leaned back, resting on the tub's edge, bringing Mao Nakaizumi with him. With her nestled in his arms, he enjoyed the beauty of her body while whispering in her ear.
"Hmph, mhm~" Ho Fei-yu had expected Mao Nakaizumi to scold him, but he didn't hear her response, only the occasional soft hum from her nose. Her small, glistening ears were also turning red.
After washing for about half an hour, until the water had cooled, Ho Fei-yu carried Mao Nakaizumi out of the tub. He found a stool, sat down, took a towel from nearby, and prepared to dry her body.
"Let me do it myself, Fei-yu." Mao Nakaizumi quickly grabbed Ho Fei-yu's hand holding the towel. Her cute, mature face looked at Ho Fei-yu. She had figured things out. She had been working hard for over ten years without someone to rely on, unable to even find release. Remembering those days, they seemed too bitter. She truly didn't know how she had persevered. Since she had a relationship with Ho Fei-yu, she couldn't just ignore it. As long as Shiori wasn't around, she was Ho Fei-yu's woman. In front of Shiori, she would maintain a proper distance. As long as Ho Fei-yu wanted, she would give. Maintaining this kind of relationship would be fine.
"It's alright, I'll do it. Taking care of my woman is what I should do."
"Mhm." This time, Mao Nakaizumi didn't blush. After getting past the initial embarrassment and accepting the situation, she wasn't so reserved. Her eyes were fixed on Ho Fei-yu's, noticing his unusually serious expression. Her heart felt much more at ease. In fact, she had been a little afraid that Ho Fei-yu was only seeking momentary pleasure and would abandon her afterward. But seeing Ho Fei-yu's actions let her know he wasn't that kind of person. Mao Nakaizumi held nothing back. Even the most private parts were thoroughly dried by Ho Fei-yu, showing that she had completely accepted him.
"Let's go there. My room is probably unfit for sleeping now." Out of the bathroom, Mao Nakaizumi pointed in a direction while in Ho Fei-yu's arms. That had originally been her parents' room. Since their deaths, it had been used as a guest room to host visitors, though it had never been used.
"Okay." Ho Fei-yu carried Mao Nakaizumi into the room. He found it very simple, with only a bed, a wardrobe, and a nightstand. There was nothing else, but it was more than enough for sleeping.
"Pfft! Why are you pretending? Everything has been done by you... Are you going to sleep outside now? Stay with me, but remember, you have to be on the sofa by tomorrow morning, understood?"
"Hehe, got it~" Ho Fei-yu quickly slipped under the covers and moved close to Mao Nakaizumi, hugging her warm body tightly.
"Stop messing around. I'm a little tired. I can't take any more."
"I won't mess around. Sleep. I'm here now, and I'm your pillar. I'll protect both you and them well. I won't let you or them get hurt."
"Mhm." Mao Nakaizumi's body was warm. She didn't know if it was caused by Ho Fei-yu's body or his words. The corners of her mouth curved into a smile, and her eyes sparkled with moving radiance.
"....."
"By the way... where is he?"
"He? He's a new man now."
"Is it my fault?"
"No, it's not... Perhaps it was the best outcome."
"Sleep. I'll always be by your side."
"Mhm." Mao Nakaizumi understood Ho Fei-yu's meaning. She felt only a slight sense of guilt and no other emotion. She would let that honest, innocent little fatty live on in her heart. Perhaps her brother had died the moment he insulted that girl. With the final heavy stone lifted from her heart, Mao Nakaizumi slowly drifted off to sleep. The smile on her lips revealed her state of mind at that moment.
Hearing Mao Nakaizumi's gentle breathing, Ho Fei-yu also felt sleepiness creeping in.
"Fei-yu, wake up quickly! It's almost six! Wake up, you little sleepyhead! If you don't wake up, Auntie will spank you, you know!"
"Auntie Mitsuko, stop messing around. Let me sleep a little longer. Kiss~"
"Auntie Mitsuko? You! Fine! You're not just a sleepyhead, you're a pervert! Hmph!" Mao Nakaizumi's smiling face stiffened. She wiped off the saliva Ho Fei-yu had left, her eyebrows furrowing. Feeling like her position had been usurped, she placed her small hand on his backside, pinching a piece of soft flesh between her thumb and forefinger, and twisted it.
Ho Fei-yu felt his body being violently shaken, and a familiar yet unfamiliar voice entered his ears. Ho Fei-yu thought it was Mitsuko Hazama and instinctively replied and acted, but the shaking didn't stop, intensifying instead. He even felt a sharp pain in his butt, startling him awake.
"What's wrong, Auntie Mao?"
"Hehe, what do you mean, what's wrong? Tell me! Who is Auntie Mitsuko?"
"....."
"Auntie Mitsuko is my foster mother."
"Ah!? Foster mother? Then, Fei-yu, your own mother?"
"Hehe, I don't know."
"...I'm sorry, Fei-yu. I didn't mean it..." Mao Nakaizumi listened to Ho Fei-yu's explanation, learning about his tragic past. The anger in her beautiful eyes immediately vanished, replaced by affection. She pulled Ho Fei-yu into a hug, giving him a milk bath.
"How about this? From now on, Auntie will be both your Okaasan (Mother) and your..." Mao Nakaizumi's maternal instincts flared up. She hadn't expected the young man, who seemed strong and resilient, to have such a history. Since she had accepted him, she also had to consider him. Since Ho Fei-yu was roughly the same age as her daughter and Shiori, she had the right to take care of him.
"Then thank you, Auntie Mao." Ho Fei-yu felt a surge of emotion, smelling her sweet scent. Ho Fei-yu had been an orphan since his previous life and was used to being alone. Whether he transmigrated physically or spiritually in this life, having parents no longer mattered. With mature and alluring women like Mitsuko Hazama, Mao Nakaizumi, and Naomi Odagiri, many of the missing pieces in his life were filled. He wasn't too concerned about whether he had parents in this life.
"Now, hurry up and get up! Don't let Shiori and Yui see!" Mao Nakaizumi remembered the important matter and pushed Ho Fei-yu away.
"Open the door a crack first. Look left and right before going out."
"Okay, okay, okay." Ho Fei-yu put on his clothes and pants, preparing to go out as Mao Nakaizumi instructed, then pretend to be asleep on the sofa. He sighed in frustration at Mao Nakaizumi's further instructions.
Following the instructions, Ho Fei-yu didn't see anyone in the living room. He quickly walked out and sat on the sofa, feeling a bit bored looking at the empty living room and contemplating his plans for the day.
"Crap, I have to go see my 'big wife' Reika today. I need to properly thank her for all her help. As long as it's not too outrageous, anything goes." Ho Fei-yu suddenly remembered he had plans for the day. He had promised to see Reika Kurashiki once a week. Thinking of the passionate help he received from Takarot at the convenience store, all thanks to his "big wife's" influence, Ho Fei-yu decided to indulge her today.
Ho Fei-yu lay on the sofa, his thoughts running wild. He suddenly realized that the people around him were growing, and he was no longer alone. The responsibilities on his shoulders were also becoming heavier. He also realized that the NTR antagonists were not easily defeated. Initially, he couldn't kill them directly and only administered justice after they powered up. But he noticed that Yoshihiro Shimoda was stronger than the previous blonde guy. He wondered what the next NTR antagonist would be like. He had to become stronger! He had vowed not to let the people he loved suffer. Since he said it, he had to do it!
