Chapter 186: Study Sessions
Like waking from a dream, Kyouka blinked quickly, a blush like peach petals spreading across her soft and beautiful cheeks.
Looking at the boy's confused eyes, she explained her earlier stunned reaction in a nonchalant tone.
"Huh? Oh, it's nothing, I just remembered something."
She really did remember something.
Looking at Sasaki's calm demeanor, showing no sign of feeling he had done anything wrong.
Suddenly, she recalled the promise she made to him last time they met at the entrance.
At that time, due to some emotions in her heart, although she felt something was off, she didn't exactly recall what was wrong.
She thought that as a grown woman, being kissed by him was no big deal.
But now, with various feelings flooding her heart, Tachibana Kyoka realized she found it hard to see him as just a normal junior anymore.
If there was really something between them, it could be seen as a kind gesture from a senior to a junior.
But the key point was that there was nothing between them.
They called each other family, but that was just lip service...
Feeling that things couldn't continue this way, Kyouka maintained the composure of an elder and gently patted the boy's arms, which were tightly wrapped around her waist:
"Fuyumi, don't be so childish, Auntie can't breathe."
Childish?
I hope you really think that way~
Knowing that the older sister was flustered, Sasaki didn't press his advantage and obediently released his grip.
Although he could act spoiled to gain more favor, that would be purely childish behavior, only increasing her view of him as a child, with no other benefits.
He acted like a good student in front of her to avoid her lecturing him, not with the genuine intention of interacting as a student or junior.
This identity could be used but not relied upon forever.
Otherwise, she would never develop romantic feelings for him.
Just like normal adults don't view preschool children in a romantic light.
So, he had to gradually erase her perception of him as a 'child.'
Therefore, he needed to avoid truly childish actions as much as possible.
"Sorry... I got carried away and used a bit too much strength."
Knowing that he hadn't used much force, but wanting to give her an excuse, Sasaki sheepishly admitted his mistake.
At the same time, he smiled and complimented her:
"Aunt Kyouka smells so nice, just like Sister Yuuka."
Even though it was a compliment, his words compared her to his daughter...
Despite being her daughter, Kyouka felt a bit... irritated by the comparison.
Feigning nonchalance, she tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and, using the movement to cover her forced smile, asked:
"By the way, did you have fun with Yuuka at the party tonight?"
Noticing Auntie Kyouka's unease, Sasaki, who was intentionally teasing her, smiled and nodded:
"Yes, I did. I got along well with Sister Yuuka's classmates."
"Oh, I see."
"Yeah, but Sister Yuuka drank too much. It was a bit troublesome taking her back to school."
Without giving her a chance to respond, Sasaki continued:
"That's why I said Aunti Kyouka and
Sister Yuuka smell the same."
"But..."
As he spoke, Sasaki propped his hands on the sofa, leaned forward slightly, and, from a distance of less than three centimeters, gently sniffed the hair she had just tucked behind her ear:
"Auntie Kyouka does smell a bit nicer~ hmm!"
Trying to maintain her dignity and composure as the older one, Kyouka resisted the urge to react to his warm breath on her ear, which made her heart race.
After slightly turning her body, she responded with a less forced smile:
"I'm already an old lady, what's this talk about smelling nice?"
However, Sasaki, overstepping a bit, pinched her still firm and tender cheek.
Then, looking into her eyes, which were as dark and shiny as fresh grapes, he sincerely said:
"It's the truth~"
Before Kyouka could react, he let go and picked up the test paper on the coffee table:
"Aunt Kyouka, should we start tutoring now?"
Lightly touching her slightly numb cheek, Kyouka opened her mouth to say something, but seeing him holding the test paper with a look devoid of any other emotions, she hesitated and decided not to pursue the previous matter.
"If we start tutoring now, it might affect your rest..."
"It's okay, as long as Aunt Kyouka has time... I don't want to disappoint you..."
Looking down at the test paper covered in red marks, Sasaki said something Kyouka couldn't refuse.
"Then... let's start."
Truly unable to refuse, Kyouka stood up and walked to her bedroom.
Watching her graceful figure sway in her casual clothes, Sasaki, holding the test paper, followed her with light steps.
Upon entering her room, he pulled up a chair and sat at the desk, starting their head-to-head tutoring session.
...
22:30.
After more than half an hour of tutoring, Kyouka confirmed that Fuyumi's poor test performance was really due to his long absence from school and his inability to keep up with the learning pace.
From the past half-hour of guidance, she had already discerned that Fuyumi was much smarter than her two daughters.
As long as he had seen the type of problem once, he had no trouble with similar ones.
To say he could draw inferences from one instance would be an understatement.
However, he still struggled with some concepts he hadn't encountered before.
But as long as they took it slowly, Kyouka believed that he could easily rise to the top of his class.
In short, my Fuyumi has the makings of a top student.
Glancing at the time on the notebook beside her, Kyouka smiled at Sasaki, who was still eager to continue:
"That's enough for today. You have class tomorrow."
"If you get up too late, you'll be late~"
Saying this, she straightened her back a bit and, with a small fist that looked like white jade under the warm light, pounded her shoulders.
This was a subconscious action she did after work.
After all, with two heavy watermelons hanging on her chest, anyone would feel sore after sitting for a long time.
Noticing Kyouka's fatigue, Sasaki pulled out his chair, stood up, and walked behind her.
Placing his hands on her soft shoulders through her clothes, he gently said:
"Relax~ don't tense up, just relax~"
Although Kyouka's shoulders twitched a bit due to Sasaki's sudden action, hearing his soft words and feeling the comfort on her stiff shoulders, she gradually relaxed.
"Aunt Kyouka must be very tired every day..."
Looking down at her soft, large chest even from behind, Sasaki used increasingly skillful techniques to massage her smooth, jade-like shoulders.
Knowing that Fuyumi was concerned for her, Kyouka, as the elder, couldn't easily admit her difficulties.
So she shook her head and said:
"Not that tired..."
Seeing her still being stubborn, Sasaki applied a bit more pressure with his hands eliciting a soft and alluring moan from her as he said:
"You say you're not tired, but look at how stiff your shoulders are."
"Is your waist also sore?"
"Do you want me to massage it too?"
Not waiting for her to reply, knowing she would likely refuse, he continued:
"If you refuse, I'll be heartbroken~"
"Ugh..."
She did want to refuse, but with what he said, it would seem a bit unkind to do so.
So, not being overly wary of him, Kyouka nodded somewhat shyly:
"Then, I'll trouble you, Fuyumi."
"Aunt Kyouka takes such good care of me, this is no trouble at all."
As he poke, he followed Aunt Kyouka to the bed.
Seeing her kick off her slippers and lie down, revealing her beautiful curves from top to bottom, Sasaki also kicked off his slippers and knelt on the bed.
He lifted her clothes slightly at the waist and back, revealing a slender waist that, under the warm light, looked as delicate as white jade.
Since this was his first time massaging Aunt Kyoka's waist, Sasaki tried not to look at the abrupt outward curve below her lower back.
Kneeling on the bed, he rubbed his hands together to warm them up and asked:
"Aunt Kyouka, are you ready?"
With her arms resting on the pillow, her pointed chin resting on her arms, her cheeks flushed, and her eyes slightly closed, Kyouka responded softly.
"Mm~"
Hearing her response, Sasaki leaned forward, spreading his hands and grasping her soft yet slightly stiff waist.
He had touched girls' waists before.
Like Otome, Rinka, and Yukiha, Sasaki knew how slender their waists were.
Among them, Rinka, due to her natural physical advantages, had the slimmest waist.
Next was Otome, whose well-proportioned figure made her waist feel the best to the touch.
Yukiha's waist was a bit chubby, so it was the softest.
Since his relationship with Serizawa Yukiha hadn't reached that point yet, Sasaki didn't know the flexibility of her waist.
But given the vitality of a young girl, he assumed it wouldn't be too bad.
Even though Aunt Kyouka was an adult, her waist's slenderness was almost on par with Yukiha's, not at all like....
However, her waist, because of its slimness, bore more pressure from above.
Therefore, in terms of flexibility, Aunt Kyoka's waist was not as good as those young girls'.
But the mature woman's unique plumpness endowed her waist with a softness far exceeding that of the girls.
Seeing her delicate waist, softer than fine silk, gradually turning a seductive pink under his hands, Sasaki felt his throat dry and swallowed hard.
He seemed to have overestimated his self-control.
Although Aunt Kyouka's waist was a bit stiff, the tactile sensation transmitted to his brain through his palms was unaltered.
Moreover, under his massaging, that stiff waist became increasingly supple, as if... he was kneading dough...
Exhaling a breath, Sasaki looked up and asked:
"Aunt Kyouka, has Sister Hisato contacted you recently?"
"Mm~"
Under his massage, Kyouka, who had been curling her toes, afraid of making any embarrassing sounds,
Heard his question and sighed in relief, lazily replying while lying on the pillow:
"She has. Hisato didn't contact you directly to avoid disturbing your studies."
"When you have time, you should give her a call to reassure her."
Nodding, Sasaki softly replied:
"I will."
After his parents passed away, Sister Hisato indeed took good care of him.
From what he knew, she had quarreled several times with some neighborhood ladies because she frequently visited him.
The quarrels were mainly about the relationship between a beautiful young woman and a handsome young man.
Although Hisato didn't care about others' opinions, she didn't want her husband to misunderstand.
After that, she reduced the frequency of her visits.
