"Hikari-kun, Auntie feels really awful right now. Can you comfort Auntie a little?", Miyuri lightly pressed a hand against Hikari's chest, her voice pitiful as she begged.
"Okay," Hikari nodded.
He also knew that Miyuri was in a really foul mood right now and badly needed an outlet for all the emotions bottled up inside her.
After all, not only had the familiar Natsuki Akito and her fiance Natsuki Kazuto both died, dying in their own home with their bodies seen by her own eyes, she was also under constant pressure from Yoshizawa Eigen.
On top of that, today she had finally gathered the courage to go to the hospital, only to come back empty handed again.
Miyuri's heart had to be full of frustration. If that stifling feeling was not let out, it really could make her sick.
And after getting Hikari's agreement, Miyuri, who was still wearing her nurse uniform dress, suddenly threw herself into his arms.
Maybe because it was her familiar workplace and she was still in her work uniform, Miyuri's emotions were clearly a bit more excited.
And seeing Miyuri wrapped in white stockings and dressed in a pure white nurse outfit like this, Hikari was also pretty excited.
But when he saw Miyuri lying flat with a red face, Hikari still could not help teasing her.
"Other nurses give injections to patients. Aunt Miyuri wants me to give you one instead. That's really unprofessional, you know?"
"Mmm…"
Miyuri gently bit her lip and looked at him with watery eyes, saying nothing.
———
At Yoshizawa Hospital—
Miyuri, dressed in a white stocking nurse uniform set, lay quietly on the hospital bed.
After Hikari's thorough and responsible comfort, the sadness Miyuri had felt earlier was finally eased, and the gloom in her heart had lifted a lot.
"Aunt Miyuri, let me take you home," Hikari said as he helped the weak limbed Miyuri up.
"Okay," Miyuri nodded gratefully.
After buying Aunt Miyuri a few boxes of cream pies on the way, Hikari took her soft and limp all over and sent her back home.
Because she was so exhausted, Miyuri said she wanted to rest as soon as she got home.
Hikari understood. Even though his all out and responsible counseling had steadied Miyuri's mood a lot, she still needed time to recover, and after that kind of emotional release she really did need rest.
So after helping her cover herself with the blanket and taking the dirty nurse uniform and white stockings to throw into the washing machine, Hikari left Miyuri's place.

After leaving Miyuri's home, Hikari went to the izakaya run by Sayako.
"Aunt Sayako," As soon as Hikari walked into the izakaya, he saw Sayako sweeping the floor alone.
Because it was not yet business hours, she was the only one there, so she was dressed very lightly, wearing only a light purple spaghetti strap short dress.
Because she was bending over to sweep, the back hem of her dress was pushed high up, her perky and full peach like hips tempting to the eye, and the long legs under the skirt were so fair they almost dazzled.
"Hikari-kun is here!", Hearing the door, Sayako had already guessed who it was. She turned around and gave him a mature and charming smile.
"Aunt Sayako, why are you cleaning by yourself?", Hikari asked casually.
"The staff has something to do and will come later, so I just did it myself," Sayako replied with a smile.
"Then let me help you, Auntie," Hikari smiled and walked over to her.
"Is this how you help Auntie?", Feeling the hand pressing on her thigh and hip, Sayako shot him a reproachful look.
"Don't you like it, Auntie?", Hikari said with a grin, not the least bit embarrassed.
"I love it," Sayako nodded honestly.
Hikari's arrival threw Sayako's focused cleaning into chaos.
After hastily sweeping the floor in a perfunctory mess, the slightly impatient Sayako directly pulled Hikari upstairs into her bedroom.
As soon as the door closed, an eager smile appeared on Sayako's gorgeous face.
Seeing Sayako's bare and smooth shoulders and how the straps slipped as she rushed toward him to kiss him, Hikari raised his hand to stop her.
"Aunt Sayako, wait a moment. I have something I want to tell you."
"Huh? What is it? Auntie can't wait anymore," the mature and beautiful widow leaned into his arms, looking at him with sultry eyes.
Seeing Sayako like this, Hikari could not help kissing her red lips first before speaking.
"It's not a big deal. After Sakai Yutaka died, his bar was left with no one to run it. Today I went through the Jinno family and can help you take over that bar at a super low price. They will also handle all the paperwork for you. In short, Auntie, your izakaya can expand now."
"I see, that's really nice. Thank you, Hikari-kun," Sayako said happily, giving him a kiss on the cheek.
After taking over Sakai Yutaka's bar and adding it to her own izakaya, Sayako's income would definitely multiply several times over.
But she was not actually that excited about expanding her business, since she did not have much interest in making it big. As long as she had enough money to spend, it was fine.
What really made her happy was Hikari's thoughtfulness.
Being taken care of by a man like this made her, who had been lonely for many years, feel warm and comfortable.
"Hikari-kun, you are so good to Auntie. Let Auntie repay you," Sayako raised her pretty face in his arms, her beautiful eyes looking at him with such affection they seemed ready to drip.
Just like Miyuri, after receiving Hikari's help, Sayako also wanted to offer herself to thank him.
Hikari naturally could not refuse, so as not to embarrass his elder, and could only say that he would take responsibility all the way..

Several Hours Later—
Sayako lay on the damp bedsheets, obediently snuggled in Hikari's arms.
She did not look like the independent and mature widow izakaya owner she usually was, but more like a girl in love, making it impossible not to feel fond of her.
"Hikari-kun, how did you get the Jinno family to help me take over Sakai Yutaka's bar?", Sayako asked curiously, her body soft and fully satisfied, as she drew circles on his chest with her finger.
Sayako knew that Hikari was childhood friends with Jinno Ai, the Jinno family's young lady, but Ai should not be able to help him with something like this.
Hikari, returning her teasing in kind, played with her while answering.
"It was simple. I helped the Jinno family with something, so I asked them to help me with a small favor."
Hearing that, Sayako nodded in understanding and did not ask more.
After thinking about it a bit, she suddenly said, "Hikari-kun, since you have connections with the Jinno family, did you help Miyuri too? Her fiance Natsuki Kazuto died, and the Natsuki Akito who kept sticking to her also died. Living alone like that must be hard for her."
Hearing Sayako's words, Hikari looked down at her in surprise and said oddly to Sayako, whose cheeks were still flushed, "Didn't Aunt Sayako and Aunt Miyuri never get along? You are actually so concerned about her."
Sayako rolled her eyes at him, "You say it like Miyuri isn't your aunt too. Don't you care about her?"
Hikari nodded, "I do. I also had the Jinno family arrange for her to change her work environment. She is going to be head nurse at another hospital."
"Pfft!", Hearing that, Sayako suddenly covered her mouth and laughed.
"Aunt Sayako, what are you laughing at?", Hikari looked at her strangely.
Sayako laughed so hard she could not stop, "I knew it."
Hearing this riddle like answer, Hikari pinched her perky peach like butt and asked helplessly, "What did you know? Say it."
"Ah!", She cried out with a red face, shot him a reproachful look, then smiled as she explained, "I knew you were also getting benefits for that Miyuri."
"Hikari-kun, tell Auntie honestly. Your relationship with Miyuri has changed too, right?"
"Changed? What does that mean, Aunt Sayako?", Hikari lay back with a smile, letting things happen.
Sayako rolled her eyes and propped herself up, saying, "Still pretending? By changed I mean your relationship with Miyuri is now the same as Auntie's with you."
Hikari looked up at Sayako, who was working hard, squatting up and down, already panting from exhaustion.
He wiped the sweat from her face with concern and nodded honestly, "Yes, my relationship with Aunt Miyuri has gone further too. Aunt Sayako, how did you know?"
Hearing Hikari admit it so readily, Sayako was a little surprised, but when she thought about how bold he was being with her right now, it made sense.
Facing his gaze, Sayako said, "Just the way you two were exchanging looks before, Auntie could already see something was going on. After all, I'm older than you, I have lots of experience."
"Really? I feel like Aunt Sayako's experience is not that great either," Hikari said with a grin as he pulled her slender waist closer.
"Mmm… that's because Hikari-kun is too much, always pushing Auntie so hard," Sayako said with a coquettish eye roll, then continued.
"But that Miyuri being with you is also her good fortune. Hikari-kun is a good man you only see once in a thousand years."
Even though she was always being pushed around by this junior, Sayako still could not bring herself to speak badly of him.
"That's true. Aunt Sayako knows that best," Hikari said with a smile, lifting his head to kiss her soft lips.
"Aunt Sayako, you are so considerate and lovable."
Hearing that, Sayako laughed, "Hehe! You think that already counts as lovable? I still have one more question for you."
Hikari asked curiously, "What is it?"
Sayako smiled slightly, "When are you going to take me and Miyuri and have us both accompany you to a party together?"
Seeing Sayako, who was already exhausted and lying down with her legs cramping, Hikari froze, "Huh?"
Panting, Sayako looked at him with sultry eyes and said teasingly, "Still pretending? Even though Miyuri and I do not get along and usually can't stand each other."
"But you men actually like it when women like us, who are rivals, make peace in bed under your training, right?"
"Getting two sworn enemies to make up under your hands must feel so satisfying."
"Hikari-kun, don't tell me you have never thought about it."
Seeing the drool at the corner of Sayako's mouth and her smug sideways glance, Hikari laughed helplessly, "An older woman really does see through everything. Nothing gets past Aunt Sayako."
"I really have thought about getting you and Aunt Miyuri to get along better. After all, I have such a good relationship with both of you. Being stuck in the middle is really hard on me."
"If you two don't fix your relationship and keep it so stiff, there are many things that become hard for me to do."
Hearing that, Sayako snorted, "Is that so? What exactly is hard for you to do, Hikari-kun. This hard?"
"Ah! It hurts. Aunt Sayako, don't do that!", When his weak spot was grabbed, Hikari grimaced.
Hearing his cry, Sayako laughed and let go.
"Aunt Sayako, are you really unwilling to make peace with Aunt Miyuri?", Hikari spread Sayako out and massaged the places that cramped from overexertion, like her thighs and waist.
Enjoying his massage, Sayako closed her eyes in comfort and smiled as she replied, "Oh my, that Miyuri's fiance is dead and all. That's so miserable. I won't really hold anything against her anymore."
"And don't worry, Hikari-kun. Auntie will not refuse any of your requests. Even if it is becoming good sisters who share the same pole with that Miyuri woman."
"As long as Hikari-kun wants it, Auntie will satisfy you."
"But it's not enough for me to agree. That Miyuri has a bit of a bad temper. You will have to persuade her yourself."
Seeing the sweet smile on Sayako's beautiful face, Hikari pulled her into his arms, feeling her mature and tempting charm as he smiled.
"With Auntie's promise, I'm satisfied."
"Is that so. I'm actually really looking forward to meeting that Miyuri in bed. I wonder who will be better," Sayako said with a smile.
Hikari knew that she, who had always compared herself with Miyuri, was starting to compete again.
"Compared to that, Aunt Sayako should worry about yourself first," Hikari said with a grin, suddenly tightening his arms around her.
"Eh… Hikari-kun, you-you are going to… again?"
"Mmm."
———
Several hours later.
Sayako lay on the mattress with unfocused eyes, like a puddle of mud.
And Hikari left the izakaya feeling refreshed.
