As the night continued, they returned to their room one by one.
While the others returned to their room to rest, Rita glanced at the living room before she made a change in her direction.
When everyone left, only Chihiro and Shishio were left in the living room.
They were resting, and it was at night, so their current appearance and clothes weren't at their best.
Even so, Shishio was still handsome since he wore a long-sleeve t-shirt and a pair of shorts.
As of now, he was on his laptop, writing something.
Meanwhile, Chihiro was holding a can of alcohol. As for her clothes, she was just wearing lazy pajamas. She leaned on the sofa with half-opened eyes as if she was sleeping while staring at his side profile in silence. While she didn't realize it, she had been staring at him for so long.
When he stretched his hands high and finished his work, she said, "Good work."
"Thanks." He smiled at Chihiro since having someone saying something like that to him was a good thing.
"...."
However, she looked away and sipped her beer, trying to hide her blush.
Wait?
Why should I blush?
She grumbled and felt that it was unfair since she felt she was the only one that had been losing her calm whenever they were together. She wanted to say something, but he beat her first.
"So, what's wrong?"
"...what do you mean?"
"Do you have something to talk with me about?" He looked at her curiously.
"Why do you think so?" She looked at him with a piercing gaze.
"...."
He wondered whether she was in menstruation, but he didn't lose her calm and said, "It's because it is unusual for you to wait for me here."
"Unusual?"
"After all, you usually stay in your room while drinking a beer, right?"
"...is that how you see me?"
"Did you not notice?"
"....."
She was speechless when he saw her looking at her with a surprised expression. She clenched the can of beer in her hand and wanted to slap his head with a slipper somehow since he was so annoying!
However, she held herself and let out a long sigh. She looked at him and thought that he really had grown up.
When he was a child, they had taken a bath together. She remembered that his p.e.n.i.s was still cute back then, but now, it was already monstrous, making her blush. More importantly, it was kind of sad since this nephew of hers, who often clamored that he would marry her when he grew up, had forgotten that promise and made one woman after another.
In other words, he had become a sc.u.mbag.
However, she didn't care about any of that since there was something that she had always wanted to do, even if their relationship was with an aunt and a nephew.
"Do you want to come to my room?"
Shishio was about to ask, "now?" but he shut his mouth and said, "Okay, wait for me there. I am going to get something."
"What are you going to bring?"
"A melon and a brandy."
"A melon and a brandy?"
This combination... she wasn't sure what to say.
"Still, it is courageous for you to drink alcohol in front of me." Chihiro sighed, thinking that her education of him was quite lax. However, what could she say? She couldn't even take care of herself. How could she even take care of others?
Taking care of others?
If she could do that, it would be better for her to think about how to erase the taboo feeling she kept in her heart.
She was no longer hiding her feelings.
Even if she had tried to give up several times, she felt it was rather hard, so at this moment, she was going to test him since if he thought of her as a bother, it would be easier for her to forget everything.
Meanwhile, he didn't know what she was thinking. Instead, he cut down a whole melon into half and took a bottle of brandy. He also took a tray and a spoon before he looked at Chihiro.
"Let's go?"
"Okay."
She nodded and led him to her room.
It wasn't his first time entering her room, but he had to say he could see a big difference between then and now.
"Wh-What's with that eyes?"
"No, it's just surprising."
Unlike before, her room was tidy now. He could tell that she had cleaned up her room. The only problem was that this large kotatsu table was still in the middle of the room.
While he had to say the weather in autumn was rather cool, it definitely wasn't freezing.
He wondered whether she was weak against the cold.
"Your room is cleaner than before."
"What do you mean? Do you mean I am a lazy woman?"
He didn't say anything and just stared at her in silence.
"...."
She could only lower her head at this moment, and her prestige as an aunt had already fallen. However, this was okay since she had never wanted him to see her as an aunt.
"Anyway, come in!"
She entered the kotatsu and patted the s.p.a.ce beside her. "Sit down."
He nodded and sat beside her naturally.
However, she was stunned since even if she told him to sit down while patting the free s.p.a.ce beside her, she didn't tell him to sit on his side like this!
'Still, this is weird...'
This wasn't her first time with a man, yet why was she blushing and her heart was hardly calm?
"It's a bit hot?"
"We-Well... that's true. It's rather hot. I will lower the temperature."
She inserted her hand skilfully under the kotatsu table and set it up at the right temperature.
"While it is good to use a kotatsu, why don't you use an air conditioner instead?"
This had always confused him since the people in this country were somewhat used to pain.
While it might not be related to their current situation, he often talked with his girlfriends about whether they would use an air conditioner during the summer or a heater during the winter when they slept. Unexpectedly, their answer surprised him.
No.
They didn't use any of that. Instead, they were just using a blanket to warm themselves during the cold and just wearing something loose when they were hot.
"I am not spoiled like you."
"....."
What could he say at this moment?"
He sighed and used the spoon to take out the seed from the melon before he poured a brandy into the bowl of melon.
*Gulp!*
Chihiro, who was on the side, gulped and could tell it was delicious!
This ultimate luxurious dish of a combination of half melon and brandy was something she had never thought of. To be honest, she thought it was a weird combination, but when she saw it with her own eyes, it felt incredible somehow.
He spooned the sweet, ripe melon along with the brandy.
The aroma of melon mixed with the brandy created an unexpectedly delicious aroma.
He could tell that Chihiro was looking at the spoon with a clear desire to eat it, but he cruelly destroyed her hope and ate it by himself.
"Hmm~!"
"..."
Chihiro was speechless, then she asked, "Is... Is it good?"
"Of course."
"...can I try it?"
"Well, I want to eat it by myself, but it is too pitiful for you if I do that."
"...." Chihiro.
He spooned another melon, then said, "Open your mouth." He looked at Chihiro and was about to feed her by himself.
"..."
Chihiro was lost for words at his sudden action.
Was this done deliberately?
Was he teasing her?
Yet, she had to say; it was effective. She blushed and opened her lips lightly. "Ahh~!" She closed her eyes and let him feed her. When the spoon entered her mouth, she closed her lips and enjoyed the bite.
"Hmm~!"
Her eyes brightened, and she looked at him in amazement.
"It's good, right?"
She nodded as she chewed the melon, then asked, "Give me another."
"...you're too greedy. I just ate a bite, but you want another bite?"
"Geez, don't be too stingy." She hugged his arms, pressing her ample b.r.e.a.s.t.s against him, and asked spoiled. "Come on, feed me again." She opened her lips and moved her tongue, waiting for him to feed her.
"..."
He looked at her for a while, wondering whether this was something that should be done by an aunt.
Did she not realize their status?
However, he had to say she was seductive.
Even if she appeared quite sloppy, it couldn't hide her beautiful appearance.
Somehow, he had the urge to kiss her lips like before, like how when she kissed his lips when she was drunk and half-asleep.
However, unlike before, she wasn't drunk or half-asleep, so the moment he took her lips, she noticed his feeling.
This taboo feeling...
He took a deep breath and controlled himself since something which was done by impulse definitely wasn't good. He wasn't sure why this woman wanted to bring him to her room, but he knew for certain she wanted to do something or talk something with him.
However, it definitely wasn't something perverted.
How could he be so sure?
After all, even before, he just seduced and f.u.c.ked the person who wanted to vandalize the clubroom of the literature club.
He took a deep breath and suddenly realized he had hesitated again. He had been hesitating so many times since he knew how wrong their relationship would be if they were together.
His parents definitely weren't happy.
As for his girlfriends, they would see him strangely for a while, but he knew that they would accept it.
Yet, he couldn't stop it anymore.
'Sorry, Chihiro-nee.'
He ate the melon and brandy by himself.
"Eh?! Why did you eat it by yourself?! I want more!" She was startled and grabbed his t-shirt, looking at him annoyedly, yet who would have thought when he would suddenly kiss her at this moment?
"....."
The world, s.p.a.ce, and time seemed to still be for the two of them.
The two were pressing their lips against each other.
She widened her eyes when Shishio suddenly kissed her lips. Her hands were still on his chest as she stared into his eyes before she could feel him starting to feed her the melon brandy in his mouth.
Why?
Why was he so skillful?
Yet, more importantly, why?
Why couldn't she reject him?
She closed her eyes and moved closer, enjoying the melon brandy through his lips.
