Chapter 244: Please do your best, all right?
I woke with a start to a comfortable soft feel. While blinking with sleepy eyes I remembered Teine was sleeping beside me. Peaceful sleeping breaths came from above my head. When I pulled my face from the soft chest the surroundings were dim. No... was I wrapped in wings?
I had thought it was dim, then a little blue light was coming in. Looking well I was wrapped in Teine’s wings. No one would even think they could get a fairy-tale sleep beside like this. Teine’s maternal feeling like protecting her own child would really ruin me. I had been told wings were formed from magic power, but there was the feel of wings on my back and I was surprised.
I could not get out like this, and waking Teine felt too pitiful... while I was stuck someone suddenly stroked the back of my head. I turned my face toward Teine. She narrowed her eyes and put on a glossy smile like I was precious. Being looked at with those eyes was embarrassing so I hid my face in Teine’s chest.
"Ahn... fufu, geez... morning, Raide-sama. Your sleeping face was cute."
"...Morning. You were awake?"
"A little while ago. When Raide-sama is about to wake you try to roll over. Fufufu. You didn’t know, right?"
"Ah. So that’s why you woke. It’s embarrassing being known completely."
"I’m in the middle of getting to know you now. Teach me more, Raide-sama?"
She said that with a mischievous-child smile so I put force in the right arm wrapped around her waist and hugged a bit harder. Teine let out a muffled alluring "Nn, uun..." When I looked up from her cleavage she kissed my forehead. Then she hid her wings, I guessed. My view got bright. I sat up, raised both hands, and stretched.
I stood from the bed, bent my waist, stretched my legs, moved my body, and felt the fatigue had left. I turned my face to thank Teine. She was sitting on the edge of the bed. Noticing my gaze she tilted her head a little and smiled gently. I took one of Teine’s hands, stood her up, wrapped one arm around her back and pulled her close, gave a kiss that only touched her lips, then pulled my face away. Teine was surprised at the suddenness but did not dislike it. If anything she hugged me back, dyed her cheeks red, and smiled with a troubled face.
"Geez... you handful."
"I was thinking of words of thanks, but looking at Teine’s face I wanted to do this."
"That’s the part. Being called unfair is... nnh, nfuuun... nn, nn nnh..."
I kissed as if cutting off Teine’s words and tangled tongues. Inside her mouth tasted of Teine’s sweet scent. After a kiss that only touched I pulled my face away. "Unfair person..." she said with wet eyes and a melted face. Teine pulled her body away from me. She apparently had work today. "From here on, another time," she said with a glossy smile. ...Isn’t Teine the unfair one in various ways? I sent that look while smiling wryly. She gently stroked one cheek and gave me a kiss that only touched from her side.
When I left the bedroom with Teine, Lucian was sitting on the sofa and Hiero was hugging her from the side. I was surprised. Lucian wrapped in her usual town-girl brown casual clothes saw me and smiled happily. Hiero made an awkward face and said,
"S-sorry! Did I wake you?"
"No. I just woke. Don’t worry. Lucian... afternoon, I guess?"
"Yes. Good afternoon, Raide-san."
Hiero let out a breath of relief at my words and started rubbing her cheek against Lucian’s large chest with a full smile. Out of the corner of my eye I saw the chest sway flump flump every time she rubbed. I headed to the bath and fixed my appearance. When I came back to the living room Hiero and Teine were standing talking about something. Teine noticed I had come back, smiled, and left the living space. Hiero also looked at my face, laughed happily nishishi, headed for the door, suddenly turned to Lucian, smiled, and said,
"Lucian, it’s ’all right,’ okay?"
"Yes. Thank you, Hiero-san."
"Nnn~~~~~!! Raide, ’properly,’ okay?"
"...??? Yeah..."
I did not get the meaning but answered and nodded. Hiero narrowed her eyes, laughed happily, and left the living space. ...What was that? When Hiero looks happy I get extremely curious for some reason... I tilted my head looking at the door Hiero left through when something soft jumped in from the front with a posu. I dropped my gaze.
Lucian was touching my chest with both hands, pressing her large breasts so hard they changed shape. A softly drifting fruity sweet scent and a moderately soft feel stimulated my lower half. Lucian looking up smiling happily was cute. I wrapped both arms around her back, hugged her gently, and said,
"Lucian’s feel is good."
"I’m your Lucian."
"...Yeah. My Lucian."
"Yes, Raide-san... nn, hah, nha, nn, nnah hah... aaaah, more... nnnmuu, fmuuunn..."
I brought my face close, gave a kiss that only touched her lips, licked her trembling lips, and got my tongue sucked. She tangled tongues as if attacking. I tangled back so I would not lose. Lucian’s waist almost gave out. I hurried to tighten the hug and support her. I pulled my face away and checked Lucian. Her eyes were wet, her face melted, her cheeks red. I scooped Lucian into a princess carry, walked toward the sofa while smiling with a troubled face.
"Sorry. I couldn’t hold back."
"Haah... me too. Me too... just being called by name by Raide-san... I... nmun, chua hah"
"That reaction is unfair, Lucian."
Folding both hands in front of her chest as if praying, trembling, sending a look like she was begging for something, was unfair. I ended up kissing her without being able to take it... when it goes this far I don’t want to let go. Still princess-carrying Lucian I sat on the sofa and sank Lucian’s ass between my legs. Good thing my unarmed combat Mastery was high. Otherwise I normally could not do a rough move like this.
I stroked Lucian’s back with my left hand as if telling her she could let her strength out. I felt weight on my left hand as if she let a little out. She still had both hands folded in front of her chest and was trembling, so her breasts a little larger than watermelons shook alluringly with her body’s tremble. I held down hard the feeling of wanting to knead them, pulled her close, pressed our bodies together, smiled, and asked,
"What’s today?"
"I came... to have Raide-san do his best."
"Me...?"
Lucian let go of the folded hands, brought them to her lower abdomen, and stroked with precious, gentle hands. From that action alone I understood and pulled Lucian’s body even tighter, feeling the right breast and the softness of her body. I wanted to do it with Lucian too, but the shop... while I was thinking that both arms wrapped around my neck from behind the sofa and someone hugged me. I was surprised. A shadow fell suddenly on the right of my face. Looking sideways there was Nimi’s gently smiling profile.
"The shop is fine. I left it to the two helpers. So please do your best for ’us,’ all right?"
"A-ah... hn? ’Us’??"
Nimi laughed kusu at my words, dropped her gaze, pointed at the embarrassed Lucian with her hand and said "Lucian-san," then pointed at herself and continued "me." I thought that was the end, then she held out a fist in front of me and raised fingers one by one. "Elysia-san, Eima-san... Rinelle-san." Four including Nimi I understood and I was very happy too, but... Rinelle too? I turned my troubled face sideways and looked at Nimi’s profile. She smiled as if it was nothing and kissed my lips.
"Chuu, fufufu. Women’s growth is fast. Please accept her, all right?"
"I’ve never rejected and the truth is I’m happy. But, um..."
"Ask the person herself after this. There are feelings that cannot be fully told secondhand."
"...I can’t win against you all, Nimi."
I said that smiling wryly. Nimi and Lucian smiled happily and kissed me. Lucian seemed to have settled. She stood on her own and pulled one of my hands. Nimi also left me, opened the annex door, put on an alluring smile, and beckoned. ...I think, maybe I’m going to get the tonic used on me?
[Hiero]
Imagining Raide’s face being taken away by Nimi and Lucian about now, I ended up laughing. I laughed while handing food to a customer so of course I got worried about. When I went back to the kitchen my eyes met Pafa’s on break. Pafa started laughing happily too.
What I was taught by Nimi today was the words "Today we will have Raide-san do his best." Nimi and the others might have kids, the family might increase. Of course I’d be happy! For that I had the shop’s flow taught to me to a degree in a few hours. Of course the reliable ones were the two helpers. I was getting fired up that I would work hard helping the shop today too when I noticed Pafa staring at me. I sat in the chair across, tilted my head, and asked,
"What’s wrong?"
"Hiero, our bodies... can we make children?"
"Eeh... I wonder? There’s no precedent so maybe I don’t know..."
"...I see."
Pafa put on a smile with implication, tilted her head a little, and kept looking at me. I noticed the meaning and shook my head hard. I get what you want to say. That, right? If there’s no precedent we should try it!? You really never change! Pafa’s line is always like that! I looked at Pafa with dead eyes. Pafa smiled softly and happily and said,
"When ’that time’ comes, I’m with you too."
"I’m still... not won over by Raide yet..."
"Ahah. Still?"
"Uuu... geez, geez!"
I tapped Pafa’s knees with both hands. She laughed even more. I could tell without a mirror. My face was probably red. Aah, geez! It’s Raide’s fault, you know!? He really is a handful!!
