"Yui."
"..."
"You don't need to get embarrassed."
"....."
"It's okay. Your mother will only think of you as a lewd girl. Nothing has changed."
"I am not a lewd girl!"
Yui, who was hiding on her blanket, poked out her head and roared with a blush.
Yet she knew that his words were right.
Her mother would definitely think that she was a lewd girl.
"It's your fault!"
While she knew she was the one who fell into his trap, she also wanted to do it, yet fate was funny since she didn't expect an accident to happen.
"If you're worried, do you want to lock your door?"
"....."
While she felt she should get angry by how nonchalant he was, she had to say it was a good idea.
"...can you lock the door for me?"
"Is that okay?"
"Un."
"What if your mother comes again?"
"...."
Yui seemed to be struggling for a while before she made up her mind.
"I-I think it is okay!"
He looked at her, but she looked away. Still, he would be stupid if he hesitated. Instead, he shouldn't give this girl time to think or prepare for the change, so he stood up and locked the door as she told him.
Hana, who didn't leave, and stood at the entrance of the door, was startled when she heard a locking sound.
'In this situation, what should I do?'
Should she pretend that she didn't hear anything?
Or should she knock on the door again?
If the one who took the initiative was Shishio, she might do the latter since even if she knew Shishio and Yui were dating each other, she was still her mother, and how could she let her daughter be eaten by this beast, who also wanted to try to eat her?
If possible, she wanted them to wait until they were married.
That was the case with her since she also lost her first time when she married.
As for how she married her current husband, everything was because of her parents. Her family's condition wasn't good, and she also wasn't that talented, smart, or had a certain specialty. If there was something she could take confidence in, it would be her ability to take care of the house.
In other words, a house chore.
Also, while it might be narcissistic of her to say this, beauty was also part she was confidence, but when she was with her husband, she lacked this confidence, especially when he didn't have an interest in her after she gave birth.
Even in the beginning, their lovemaking also wasn't that good either since he only treated this process as a way to make children.
After she got pregnant, there was nothing.
If it was other women, they might have cheated already, but she was different. Back then, she was pregnant, her family's situation wasn't good, and it was just the beginning of the lost decade. The confidence that everyone had in the past disappeared, and everyone could only fall into despair.
There were many people that committed suicide, and everyone felt it was normal since living in this world was so painful.
Leaving her husband was never an option.
Even if there was no love, or she was treated as a maid, she had never thought of doing something else, especially when her parents also told her to be a good wife and shouldn't do anything strange.
At that time, it was like the world was about to fall apart.
She also lacked independence, and she could only lean on someone to live.
Was she dissatisfied with this way of life?
Probably, yes, probably, no.
However, it didn't matter since everything changed when Yui grew older and older.
Before Yui was there, she felt that she was alone. However, with Yui, she was no longer alone.
Still, Yui would grow, and sooner or later, she would marry someone, leaving her.
By then, what should she do?
Should she just be a good grandmother?
This was probably how it should be, yet everything changed when he came.
He was like a storm, and he just swept away all of her resistance, morale, or even sanity. She had done something one shouldn't do, yet strangely enough, she didn't regret it since she felt she might have been waiting for him.
She stood at the entrance for a while before she sighed and walked away since she thought it was better to make dinner.
As for what they were going to do, it was their decision, and all she could do was support them.
Naturally, when Hana left, Shishio also noticed it, yet Yui, this stupid girl, didn't seem to realize it. She only poked out from her blanket while looking at him shyly. Still, even if this girl was a bit silly, he had to say she was charming.
While he usually should sit on the edge of her bed, he decided to be bolder.
"He-Hey, what are you doing?" Yui was startled.
"If you don't go out, I will be the one who enters."
He slipped into her blanket and lay together on her bed.
"........"
While Yui was speechless, she didn't push him away. Instead, she felt that it was kind of interesting since the two of them were inside a secret base where they shared together.
The sun was still bright, and there was at least an hour or more before the sun went down, turning the day into the night.
Yet even so, the two of them stayed in bed together, staring into each other's eyes under a blanket.
"Why are you laughing?"
"It's so fun like this."
"Really?"
"Yes, it's like we're going back to our childhood and playing on our secret base."
Shishio somehow also chuckled when he heard her words since he also remembered that he also made something like a secret base in his room during his childhood time. He used his blanket and various things, creating a fortress where he could play around.
It was so much fun during childhood, yet when he became an adult, money was more interesting somehow.
"By the way, can I ask you something?"
"Hmm?"
"Have you done it with Yukinon?" Yui stared at Shishio curiously.
He blinked his eyes and shook his head. "Not yet."
"Huh? Why?" She was confused.
"It's just not the time."
"Oh."
"Not every girl is perverted like you, Senpai." He tapped her forehead lightly with a teasing smile.
"I-I am not a pervert!" She covered her head shyly while looking at him furiously. Yet could she deny him again this time, especially when what she wanted from him was obvious?
"By the way, did Yukinon say something about our relationship?"
"No."
"Really?"
"Yes. She only looked at me with dead eyes."
"...." Yui.
"I was kidding, but even if I did something to you, she wouldn't say anything."
"Why?"
"Because she has given up."
"......" Yui was speechless, then asked, "Why can't you say that because she loves you?"
"If I say that, it makes it like I am using her love."
"You're not?"
"I can't deny it." He gently tucked her bang behind her ear and said, "It's similar to what I have done to you, right?"
"Well, that's true."
"...can you deny it?"
"I can't deny it." She smiled cheekily before rubbing her cheek against his palm. "Well, if I have to say, she might be shy."
"Shy?"
"Yes." She nodded. "If you always say I am like a dog, then she is like a cat. Even if she loves you, she is too embarrassed to convey it."
"It's strange when you say that."
"Hehe... but wait! I am not your dog!"
"......."
Shishio had to say he was a bit worried that this girl was deceived by a scumbag.
'Oh, wait! She's been deceived by one!'
"Still, I don't regret it. On the contrary, I am happy that I can be with you."
"Me too."
"By the way..."
"Hmm?"
"What do you think of my mother?"
"...what do you want to say?" He was speechless by Yui's question.
What did he think about her mother?
She was attractive, and he loved her so much.
Yet, he wasn't so stupid to say all of that.
"I mean... do you think she is lonely?"
"Lonely?"
"Un." Yui nodded. "My father has always been working, and my mother has always been alone. It is also why I have always stayed at home most of the time."
"You don't want to make her lonely?"
"Un."
"You're such a good girl, Yui. Your mother is happy to have you."
"Really?"
"Yes, it is even better if you're not so loud."
"Shishiron!" She puffed her cheeks, showing her annoyance. She was talking so seriously, yet why did the guy keep teasing her?
"But you know, you shouldn't worry too much about her. After all, if you're worried about her, she will also be worried about you. Instead of worrying, you should smile more since I am sure she will be happy."
"Really?"
"Yes, after all, the happiness of the children is the happiness of the parents. If you're happy, your mother will also be happy."
"I-I see..." While she was relieved, she wondered whether it was okay. Still, she could see the mood of her mother was better than before. If her mother was happy, she was also happy. By now, she didn't think too much and looked at him in his profile carefully.
It might be her first time doing this.
However, it was normal since it was their first time to be so close to this.
While kissing might be the closest, how could she observe his profile when they kiss each other?
Yet she had to say, the more she looked at him, the more the atmosphere between them became more delicate.
They stared at each other for a while before they moved closer and closer.
"You're really a perverted girl."
Yui blushed, but she looked at him boldly. "Bu-But I am only doing it with you. With you, so it is okay, right?"
"...."
He had to say that this girl was so cute. He didn't hesitate and pushed her onto the bed.
She also didn't stop him. Instead, she asked, "Di-Did you bring the condom?"
"I brought it."
She sighed in relief and hugged him from now on; she was ready to become his woman.
