For Aozaki Reiji, what surprised him more than Hikifune Kirio's forceful kiss was her unexpected initiative.
After all, although they had similar experiences before, this was the first time she didn't act shy after their lips met; she was able to actively continue the actions, even more passionately than Aozaki Reiji.
Even when driven by desire, Hikifune Kirio had never displayed such strong aggression.
And at this moment, Hikifune Kirio was not just content with simple kisses; she was trying to make Aozaki Reiji feel pleasure in various ways.
Her fragrant lips continuously landed on Aozaki Reiji's lips, cheeks, and neck.
"Ha… ha… Mmm~"
It wasn't until Hikifune Kirio began to pant slightly that Aozaki Reiji gently wrapped his arms around her waist, finding a comfortable position for her to sit on his lap.
Hikifune Kirio's body nestled softly in his embrace, her whole body hot, as if burning.
It was rare for Hikifune Kirio to be so passionate.
Aozaki Reiji gently tidied her disheveled hair, asking softly, "What's wrong? Is there something you want to tell me?"
"…"
Hikifune Kirio looked up, staring directly at the man in front of her, her eyes revealing unwillingness.
Her lips were slightly pursed, as if she was trying hard to control her inner emotions.
However, Reiji always treated her with an accommodating and indulgent attitude, like a child, which infuriated Hikifune Kirio.
She felt that she had grown as a lover and was no longer a little girl who needed to be pampered, but Reiji seemed unaware of this.
Hikifune Kirio's heart was filled with longing; she hoped Reiji could see her as a mature woman, a qualified lover!
And not just a spoiled child.
So, she mustered her courage, leaned close to Reiji's ear, and whispered, with a hint of shyness and determination:
"…Just give me one more day, only one day, and I will definitely be able to…"
This sentence was as faint as a mosquito's hum; if Aozaki Reiji didn't have exceptional hearing, it would have been difficult to make out what she said.
This almost pleading tone, if heard by others, would surely leave them wide-eyed with astonishment.
The usually carefree and straightforward Hikifune Kirio now displayed such a gentle and vulnerable side.
She clenched her teeth, suppressing the surging emotions within her and the sense of shame that threatened to evaporate her rationality.
It took immense courage for her to say these words, but she couldn't control her emotions.
How much Hikifune Kirio wished Reiji could understand her feelings, and comprehend the deep longing and yearning in her heart for him.
He definitely didn't understand how much her heart yearned for Aozaki Reiji, how much she missed him over these seventy or eighty years, and how much she wanted to take their relationship further.
But, Hikifune Kirio was not Apprentice at romantic relationships; she didn't have the ability to fully express her love in words.
Therefore, Hikifune Kirio could only express her feelings through actions.
She offered her lips again and again, demonstrating her love for Aozaki Reiji with unreserved devotion.
This was the only thing she could do.
At this moment, Hikifune Kirio mustered all her courage.
Everything she did for Aozaki Reiji was her deepest confession of love.
After a brief moment of surprise, Aozaki Reiji calmly and gently returned Hikifune Kirio's kiss.
This tender kiss made Hikifune Kirio feel incredibly comfortable and secure.
Aozaki Reiji gently accepted her passion, making Hikifune Kirio sigh in intoxication.
Then, their lips slowly parted, and Aozaki Reiji gazed into Hikifune Kirio's eyes, saying softly:
"Tomorrow, I am yours."
This man, who was usually so flippant, now showed such a serious expression.
… … … …
The next day, the sun had already risen for some time, and the sunlight cast down made people feel warm and comfortable.
Hikifune Kirio woke up later than usual, reluctantly opening her beautiful eyes under the strong sunlight.
Even when she arrived in the living room, she still looked languid.
Of course, there was no need to say, given how she expressed her desires last night, with her impatient nature, she naturally wouldn't wait until today to release them.
It must be said, sometimes an overly keen sense of smell is not a good thing.
Smelling the scent Aozaki Reiji left behind, she had made a mess of the bathroom last night.
Even Hikifune Kirio herself felt it was a bit much, thinking that Aozaki Reiji must never see that scene.
Moreover, as her actions became more proficient.
She began to worry if she would become addicted to this behavior; it would be troublesome if she couldn't quit it even after Reiji left.
"…This is all Reiji's fault."
The passionate older sister pouted her cute lips in annoyance.
This was the most she could express negative emotions towards Aozaki Reiji.
However, surprisingly, today there was only the embarrassing senior in the living room.
Sunlight streamed through the windows into the room, reminding people that it was already late.
A faint aroma of food permeated the kitchen, indicating that a culinary feast had just taken place here.
A carefully prepared breakfast was neatly placed at her seat, clearly intended for a specific person.
This breakfast included a steaming bowl of rice, alongside crispy golden egg rolls and tender, juicy fried steak.
In addition, there was a large plate of tempting charcoal-grilled seafood, emitting a rich aroma.
It was a relatively modern style Japanese breakfast, a result of that small Human World country having accepted multiple cultures.
But, on this beautiful morning, Reiji… where was her favorite Reiji-kun?
Hikifune Kirio blinked her bright, large eyes, looking around, trying to find Aozaki Reiji's figure.
"Ah! Good morning, Hikifune Kirio."
A voice suddenly came, interrupting Hikifune Kirio's thoughts.
Senjumaru, whom she had been ignoring, was smiling warmly as she greeted her.
Hikifune Kirio nodded slightly, responding to Senjumaru's overly enthusiastic greeting.
Then, she naturally walked to the dining table and sat down, ready to enjoy this delicious breakfast.
Hikifune Kirio unhesitatingly picked up her chopsticks, quickly grabbed a piece of steak and put it into her mouth, savoring its deliciousness.
Her eyes still scanned around, trying to find traces of Aozaki Reiji.
Where did he go?
Was it because my performance last night was too passionate, so I scared him away, and he doesn't want to see me today?
Hmm… I should have endured a bit longer…
Just as she was thinking.
She noticed movement in the room next to the living room and glanced in that direction.
Immediately after, Hikifune Kirio's face instantly turned crimson, like a ripe apple.
She coughed, her voice clear and loud.
She accidentally choked on her food, a situation that was a rare occurrence for her.
"…Are you alright, Kirio!? Here, quickly drink some soup!"
Seeing this, Senjumaru immediately panicked, pulling out a handkerchief and handing it to her, and also placed her own half-drunk miso soup with a slap in front of her.
Hikifune Kirio, however, didn't mind, picking it up and gulping it down.
Senjumaru looked at her, wanting to speak but hesitating.
She really wanted to tell Hikifune Kirio that it was her miso soup.
Could she leave a little for her? The miso soup made by Reiji-kun was really delicious, even just one mouthful would be fine.
Senjumaru pursed her lips, watching Hikifune Kirio enjoy it, and shamelessly swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
But considering her magnanimity as a senior, she ultimately couldn't bring herself to say it.
