Chapter 913 A Morning Visitor

Chapter 913 A Morning Visitor

When Friday morning arrived, we got an early visitor. And right inside our room.

Upon opening my eyes, I saw a girl that shouldn’t be in our bed comfortably resting at my side. Her flowing dark blue hair neatly sprawled beneath her as she tightly clung to my body. The girl was already wearing her school uniform but she took off her thick blazer and laid down on my side with only her white blouse.

Reaching my hand on her cheeks, the girl hummed quietly as she slowly raised her gaze, “Uhm… Is it already morning?”

This girl… My eyebrows slightly twitched from her words but I decided to let it go and humor her.

“Yes, it is. More importantly, when have you arrived, Mizuki?”

“When? Didn’t we sleep together?”

She cutely blinked her eyes, something she seldom did and acted obliviously.

If she’s going to play like this then…

“I see. Did you sleep in your uniform?”

“Uhm. Yes, I forgot to change into my sleepwear.”

She cutely stuck her tongue out and acted like those cliched klutz anime girls. She’s just missing the ‘Teehee, pero~’ sound effect.

Did the fever from yesterday get into her head? Well, knowing this girl, she’s surely here as a way to compensate for yesterday… Looking at my other side, Akane already got up and most likely accompanied Miwa-nee and Suzuki downstairs.

“That’s bad, Mizuki. Let me remove it from you.”

“Oh? I like this turn of events, Ruki…” The girl playfully smiled as she watched me climb on top of her. With her arms opened wide, she’s expecting us to get naughty.

But instead of doing what I said, I pinched her cheeks and stretched them wide… “Weird, I thought someone wore my Mizuki’s face and invaded my room. Am I wrong?”

Upon hearing that, Mizuki’s eyes narrowed as she stared at me in disappointment. “Who will dare to wear my face? Well, enough playing. I want my good morning kiss, Ruki.”

“Oh? My Mizuki isn’t this demanding, are you really my Mizuki?”

“Ugh… I am. And I’m not demanding. I’m just asking for my rights as your woman.”

“I see. Is that so?” My lips curled up to a smirk.

Seeing that and noticing how I am deliberately teasing her, Mizuki appeared abandoned. Her round eyes glittered as tears began to form from its corners. It’s not everyday I get to see her like this, being the most headstrong girl among them.

“Ruki… I know you love teasing me but…”

With a pleading expression, Mizuki grabbed my shoulder and slid her arms to my back. This was her way to appeal to me but at the same time, it was only her way of giving up.

“You started it, didn't you?”

“Uhh. That I did. However, I only thought of surprising you… Are you not… happy?”

Well, I better stop teasing her. I’m also losing at my own game… I don’t want to see them being sad because of my actions.

I relaxed my lips and turned them into a normal smile instead. And after giving her the good morning kiss that she’s asking for, I replied, “Will I smile like this if I’m not?”

“No… You won’t. You’re that honest.”

“Mhm… My Mizuki knows me alright.” And another kiss. This time, I prolonged it enough for us to roll on the bed a few times before settling down with the girl on top of me.

“Anyway. Are you sure you’re fine now? Your fever didn’t return?”

“No… You can touch me…” She shook her head.

“Well, we’re this close now. You feel hotter than average.”

“And you know the reason why…”

“Naughty girl.”

“You left me alone in our bed yesterday, I need some compensation today.”

There she goes being demanding again. But I guess I’ll give it to her. She got me worried yesterday so… this is a good chance to scold her a bit for pushing herself like that.

“Yes, yes… Let me first check the time.”

“It’s still early. I made sure to come here before six.”

Mizuki grabbed my hand and prevented me from grabbing my phone. And trusting her words, I simply smiled and wrapped my arms around her once more.

And without wasting any second, I pushed the girl down on the bed, scolding and compensating her at the same time…

“Mizuki, did husband treat you well?” Akane asked.

We’ve finished preparing for the day and to extend our time, just like how Hitomi was picking us up two weeks ago, Mizuki offered us a ride to school.

Well, it’s weird that Akane was asking that after fully knowing what we did inside our bedroom.

“Yes. Thank you for giving me the chance, Akane. I appreciate it.”

“What are you talking about? Between us, there’s no need for words of gratitude.”

Being sandwiched between the two while they’re talking like this, I couldn’t be more uncomfortable.

I understand Akane rejecting the gratitude but I also understand why Mizuki felt the need to do so. In a way, they’re of similar minds in this… They see themselves as equal so to not get ahead of one another, they fall into this kind of awkward conversation.

“You two… You’re just going back and forth… Should I seal your lips instead?” I interjected after hearing the same words from the two for a good three minutes.

Even Suzuki, who was at the wheel, couldn't help but slightly shake her head. For her to have a reaction despite her almost indifferent attitude, went to show how absurd the two girls became.

But as soon as they heard my suggestion, their eyes lit up before staring at one another.

“That’s the most radical solution, don’t you think so, Akane?”

“I agree. Any moment now, husband.”

“Really, you agreed that quickly.” I also shook my head as I enacted my suggestion.

First with Akane followed by Mizuki. Then soon after that, I alternated between them, taking another few minutes for us before the two became satisfied with it.

Once they’re done, like a twin thinking of the same thing, they raise my arms before squeezing themselves to my side, leaning their heads on my chest.

“Right. Before I forget, Ruki… I heard you got quite a position in your school. Are you going to be fine? Our lessons have been stagnant and now you have taken up a new responsibility.”

“It’ll be fine, I guess? The office will only start to function next week. So I have a lot of time to prepare… As for our lessons, aren’t you the one who stalled it?”

“Uhm… I’m trying to find an opportunity to bring you with me. But I guess we’ll have to start even without a practical problem in front of us… I do believe in your ability but… I just realized that we should be careful.”

This girl… So that’s what she planned before? If I messed that up, it’s her reputation that would be soiled.

Good thing she retracted that plan.

“You girls always remind me not to be reckless but you…” I sighed lightly which made Mizuki panic a little.

“I… I just thought… Ugh… I don’t want to make excuses. Scold me if you want.”

“Not gonna happen. Why will I scold you when you already corrected yourself? Are you a masochist?”

“N-no!” A quick yet stuttering denial. This girl is really too lovely to tease.

“It’s… It’s so I won’t make the same mistake again.” Mizuki continued.

“I see. Then can I ask you to consult me if you’re uncertain?”

“Yes, I will…” Although her enthusiasm went down a little, Mizuki was still looking optimistic.

“Husband can be harsh sometimes, huh? But am I allowed to hear this, Mizuki?” And perhaps she felt like she was intruding, Akane broke her silence.

“It’s fine. It’s not like you’re going to become a business magnate after hearing our conversation or lesson. And we’re riding the same boat. If you can also pick up something from this then all the better.”

“Oh… I’ll diligently listen, Mizuki-sensei.”

‘Not you too, Akane.” Mizuki facepalmed and asked me to pamper her a little.

On the other hand, Akane gleefully laughed before offering comforting words to Mizuki.

And with this… our ride to their school somehow became a little eventful. Or rather, stressful…

“Understand, Ruki? Even with your glib tongue, you need to play with your words. Don’t just give them the honest estimate right at the start. For example, a unit that can be sold for a million. You have to start at least double the price while listing benefits that will entice them to think like they’re winning instead of losing.”

Complete with a portfolio and a strict-looking pair of glasses, Mizuki started lecturing us. Once in a while, I could hear Suzuki stifling a laugh at the wheel.

I guess even for her, this situation was amusing.
