Time passed and the date with Nana had officially ended. Now it was time for the date with Kari.
After what Nana said at the end of the previous chapter, Akira tried to get her to spill what Kari had planned, but he failed miserably. Nana said Kari didn't want him to know—she wanted it to be a surprise for him. All she told him was that the date would be quite exciting but calm at the same time, something that left Akira completely puzzled. Exciting and calm? What did that even mean? How could something be both exciting and calm at the same time? Weren't those two opposite things? Anyway, there was no point overthinking it since it wouldn't be long before he found out.
…
Several minutes later…
"Uh… are you sure you want a date like this? And right here of all places?" I asked, curious.
Yes, I was currently on my date with Kari, but it was a rather peculiar date. Not because it was weird, but because the location might not have been the most appropriate. What am I talking about? It's simple. When Nana told me that Kari already had a date planned and wouldn't tell me because she wanted it to be a surprise, I never imagined it would be something like this.
"Why are you asking? Don't you like it?" Kari asked in a coquettish tone.
"It's not that I don't like it, but…" I said, feeling a bit helpless.
I think it's time to reveal where we were right now and in what position. Kari's date couldn't have been simpler. She wanted, just like Nana, to have a date at home—which wouldn't have been unusual… except that this was Kari's house, not mine! That's right. We were now at Kari's house, sitting on the sofa with Kari sitting between my legs. The TV was on, but the program didn't matter at all because Kari kept leaning back against me or moving her ass against my pelvis, as if she was deliberately teasing me. And she wasn't even wearing a bra! Yes, Kari's breasts were so small that wearing a bra would have been a complete waste, but according to her, she didn't like her chest being completely exposed, so she usually wore a sports bra—which, by the way, she wasn't wearing right now.
Actually, before Kari met Akira, she never used any kind of bra. But after having sex with Akira and awakening her sexuality, for some reason the friction of her nipples against her shirt started bothering her. Or rather, the friction gave her a bit of pleasure, and she didn't want to feel that all the time, so she decided to start wearing a bra. The excuse she gave her parents was that her breasts were growing and she wanted one. Her father didn't find anything strange about it and didn't object, thinking Kari was at the age where her breasts were starting to develop. On the other hand, Tai suspected something, but he didn't want to believe it was true. Deep down he didn't want to accept that the reason his sister suddenly wanted a bra was the more obvious one. Meanwhile, her mother Yuuko had already figured out exactly why her daughter wanted a bra so suddenly. After all, she had also been a teenager once, so she didn't object and bought her the bra without hesitation.
A supportive mother, a brother who suspected but didn't dare do anything, and a father living in blissful ignorance—that was the current situation in Kari's family. Note that unlike Mikan's parents, Kari's parents weren't irresponsible people who left their children alone almost all year. On the contrary, even though they had a lot of work, they always made time to spend with their children and shower them with love and affection.
With that in mind, Yuuko would never have let her little girl date someone she didn't approve of. But since Akira met her standards, she approved of the relationship without much fuss. However, many might wonder: Did just meeting him once really give her enough information to let her daughter date him? If Yuuko had done only that, she couldn't be considered an extremely protective mother. That's why she hired a detective to spy on Akira for a while.
Kari's family—unlike the original one—was quite wealthy, so hiring a detective wasn't a problem for them.
The detective followed Akira for several days and discovered various things about his life. At first, Yuuko didn't like what she heard. His personality was exactly as he had shown when they met—he hadn't been faking anything, which was a point in his favor. The problem was that the detective discovered he was… a womanizer, a playboy of sorts. He was surrounded by girls all day and was even intimate with many of them, which made Yuuko frown. Of course the detective respected people's privacy and conducted his investigation without committing any crimes, but Akira didn't seem to hide when flirting or getting intimate with other girls, so it wasn't hard for him to find out.
Anyway, this aspect of Akira bothered Yuuko, but before making any decision about her daughter, she decided to observe for a few more days to see if she was wrong about something. What she discovered in the following days surprised her. Her daughter sometimes went out with Akira's group, and surprisingly she didn't seem to mind when other girls flirted with her boyfriend right in front of her. Yuuko was also shocked to see that even her best friend Mikan was flirting with Akira, and instead of getting angry, her daughter simply snuggled into the spot Mikan had left free.
All these interactions left Yuuko extremely surprised, but according to the detective's reports, Akira never treated any of the girls badly. In fact, it seemed he wasn't even the one taking the initiative—most of the time the other girls were the ones flirting with him without him having to lift a finger.
This left Yuuko defenseless, and in the end she decided not to interfere in her daughter's romantic relationship. It seemed Akira had a harem full of beautiful girls—something that would normally infuriate any normal girl. After all, what girl would want to see her boyfriend in the arms of other women? But it didn't seem to bother Kari. Her harem didn't fight over his affection and they all got along quite well. Even knowing all this, her daughter didn't seem to mind that her boyfriend had multiple women, so as her mother, Yuuko chose not to interfere. Besides, Kari was still young and generally girls didn't marry their first boyfriend—except in rare cases. As for forbidding her from dating Akira… that would only have the opposite effect and she'd do it behind their backs anyway. Yuuko had done the same when she was young and understood perfectly. Given the situation and the consequences of forbidding it, Yuuko decided to stay on the sidelines. Akira treated Kari well, and even though he was quite promiscuous, Kari didn't mind and was happier than ever. And that wasn't all— for some strange reason, Kari's health had improved since she started dating Akira. Yuuko didn't know if it was a coincidence or not, but since Kari was happy, she decided not to bring it up anymore. Obviously she didn't ignore it completely and always asked Kari about her relationship and gave her useful advice, which only made their mother-daughter bond stronger than ever.
They chatted about relationships, Yuuko gave Kari advice and even warnings. In short, thanks to Akira they had become closer than ever.
As for the improvement in Kari's health… that was also due to the Omnitrix and the physical enhancement it was giving Akira. But that's a topic for the future.
"But…?" Kari asked with an innocent look.
"But we're at your house. Your family could come home suddenly and catch us in the act," I said.
It was quite risky considering her brother Tai and her father didn't know we had this kind of relationship, and I didn't want to push my luck with her mother either. Even though she knew about us… I didn't want her to think I was leading Kari down the wrong path or anything like that.
"I already talked to my mom about it, so there's no problem. Besides, my mom took my dad and brother to visit my grandma in the countryside, taking advantage of the holiday. They won't be back until tomorrow afternoon, so there's no danger of anyone catching us," Kari said.
In reality, the only reason Kari could have this date at her house was thanks to her mother, who had taken her father and brother to visit her grandmother in the village.
"But won't your grandma be surprised that you didn't go see her? And what excuse did you give your dad so he'd agree to go without you?" I asked curiously.
Kari smiled mischievously and turned around, ending up face-to-face with me. Her face was only a few centimeters from mine.
"My mom told them I'd be staying with Mikan to study for an exam we have next week. I don't need to study, but she said I had to give private lessons to Mikan, Mami, and Sachie. It was actually pretty easy to convince him," Kari replied.
