Chapter 78: The Massage Works Wonders
“Alright then, Arisa and I will take a walk nearby.”
“We’ll be back soon.”
“Take care.”
On the second day of our stay at the inn, Arisa and Aina went outside together.
It seems there’s a famous tourist spot nearby, and so they planned to go there to take some photos.
Originally, I intended to come with them, but ever since I woke up this morning, my back has been hurting and so I couldn’t come.
“Ah
”
“Are you alright?”
“I’m managing
 Ah, right there, it feels good.”
The reason why my back hurts is probably due to the accumulated strain from what we did. (E/N: Yes, the you know what.)
Thankfully, Sakuna san helped me a bit by massaging my back, which filled me with a bit more energy to want to come with them, but I realized once again that I should consider my limits.
“Sakuna-san, you can go with them if you want.”
“Fufu, I also plan to look around later, so it’s fine. I didn’t want to leave Hayato-kun alone, and with this I can also spend time together with you.”
Sakuna-san said with a chuckle.
Well, indeed, it will be a bit lonely for me if they leave, and so I was happy that Sakuna-san thought about it that way.
If Sakuna-san hadn’t stayed, one of those two might have insisted on staying behind though.
“Would you like some tea?”
“Oh, yes.”
As I nodded, Sakuna-san dropped the tea leaves into the teacup, poured hot water, and slowly stirred it.
Steam rose as if to say it was piping hot, but I accepted it and let it slide down my throat.
“Mmm, delicious.”
“The tea here is delicious, isn’t it? I also like it.”
Sakuna-san also drank the tea with a look of delight.
I glanced sideways and couldn’t help but notice how elegant and refined Sakuna-san’s gestures were.
(
It’s hard to believe she has two daughters.)
I murmured that in my mind.
I’ve thought about Sakuna-san many times before, and I find myself repeatedly contemplating her youthful appearance.
“What’s the matter?”
Naturally, if I kept staring at her, Sakuna-san would notice my gaze.
It might seem like I’m overly self-conscious by saying this, but I think both Sakuna-san and Arisa and Aina are too sensitive to my gaze.
They notice even if I steal just a quick glance, and sometimes it feels like they can even sense the moment I move my eyes.
“I always think you’re beautiful, Sakuna-san.”
“Oh myâ™Ș”
When I conveyed that she was beautiful, Sakuna-san smiled happily.
But for some reason, at this moment, I felt like I should continue speaking, wondering if that was even enough.
“Not only are you beautiful, but you’re also incredibly kind and have a nurturing presence. You exude the charm of a mature woman. And of course, it’s not just that. The adorable expressions you show from time to time and your determination to keep up with Aina and Arisa are also wonderful.”
“Oh, um, Hayato-kun?”
In the face of my torrent of words, Sakuna-san lowered her gaze.
Indeed, she is significantly more mature than me, but I wonder if she realizes that even her slightly shy demeanor captivates me with its cuteness.
“Hahaha, I’m sorry. Calling someone beautiful is a bit abstract, so I ended up saying whatever came to mind.”
“Oh, uh
”
Blushing, Sakuna-san slightly moistened her eyes and looked at me.
In those eyes, along with happiness, I caught a glimpse of adorable anger in response to the sudden attack.
“Hahaha, I guess that was a bit sudden.”
“It really was!”
“But, well, I already conveyed quite a lot last night.”
“Huh?”
Sakuna-san tilted her head, wondering what I meant.
Last night, we engaged in intimate activities together, but Sakuna-san’s memory seems vague, perhaps due to the alcohol.
“Hayato-kun~ feel free to squeeze my b*****s as much as you like, okay?”
We had such an exchange, and she seemed conscious at the time, but the power of alcohol is truly formidable.
Although her expression at that time seemed to wring out everything from me, the Sakuna-san in front of me now truly resembled a close-in-age older sister instead.
“Excuse me for a moment, Sakuna-san.”
Saying that, I hugged Sakuna-san tightly.
She didn’t try to pull away from me and wrapped her arms around my back, holding on tightly.
“When we’re like this, it feels like you’re my older sister.”
“Is that so?”
“Yes. But
”
After briefly letting go, I hugged Sakuna-san again, pressing my cheek against her ample bosom.
“
In this position, it feels like I’m relying on my mother.”
When I embrace Sakuna-san against my chest, I feel like she’s an older sister. And when I bury my face in Sakuna-san’s bosom like this, it feels like I’m seeking comfort from a mother—a strange hybrid sensation.
Being enveloped by these two bulges, larger than my face, I might just want to stay like this for the rest of the day.
“There, there, Hayato-kun, you’re so adorable.”
I almost called her “Mom” when she stroked my head.
I indulged in Sakuna-san’s affection for a while, and we only separated when Arisa and Aina returned.
Although they didn’t witness us being all clingy, it seems that Arisa and Aina immediately noticed something was off.
“As expected, when Hayato-kun is alone with mom, he becomes all lovey-dovey
”
“Well, we can’t really say anything either, right, Nee-san?”
“
Yeah, that’s true.”
Well, even when we’re all together, we naturally end up being affectionate, but it’s inevitable to become even more clingy when we’re alone.
The pain in my waist, which I had forgotten during my indulgence with Sakuna-san, resurfaced, and I groaned as I lay down again.
“Sorry, can you give me a little massage?”
“Leave it to us.”
“We’ve got you~â™Ș”
I placed a pillow under my chin and laid down, and Arisa and Aina settled around my waist area.
I had thought they would massage me with their hands, but as if they had coordinated it, an incredibly soft and squishy sensation spread through my lower back.
“
”
Even without thinking about what this sensation is, it can be easily understood what it was.
The fact that my front side is facing the ground is helpful in various ways, and I accepted the sensations of the two without letting my composure falter.
“
?”
As I indulged in this luxurious moment, I received a message on my phone from Kanade.
She asked if I was enjoying myself, and I simply moved my arm and took a picture of the two pressed against my back, sending it to Kanade.
“
As expected.”
The appearance of the two in the photo, it was exactly as I had imagined.
“Does it feel good?”
“How is it?”
“
It’s amazing.”
Just as I said, it feels incredibly good, and I couldn’t bring myself to lie.
In the end, even during this long-awaited trip, it seems that nothing has changed; I continue to engage in affectionate moments with them, and despite my waist feeling better and going outside, things remain the same.
Thus, this trip, the last before advancing to the next grade, was filled with delightful memories.
Although I didn’t particularly anticipate it, the end of my second year marks the arrival of my final year as a senior.
It is expected that things will become even busier than before, but for now, I can only pray that each day passes without any major incidents.
