When my parents returned a few weeks ago, Haruko was one of my girls who opted not to meet them right away. Though she mentioned that she was going to do it at a time of convenience or rather, when she slept over with Edel again, that had yet to happen. Unfortunately, their timing to stay the night never coincided with my parents visits. Because of that, the eventual meeting has remained to be kept on hold.

Nevertheless, despite the current status of not meeting in person, I already heard from Haruko that my mother contacted her, much like the other girls. Mostly to get to know her and partly to check on the third girl that I personally deemed especially in the early days of this complex relationship.

Through that over-the-phone or internet interaction, Haruko began admiring her as well.

Yeah. Shes just that good when it comes to her future daughters-in-law. Like Miwa-nee said, she might be scary due to the secrets shes keeping but theres no doubt that shes my number one ally. Shes never going to hurt me or any of my girls.

Thats why when I brought that up, Harukos reaction was one of excitement rather than dread. Recommending Miyako and Edel didnt even pass through her mind.

And so, during breakfast, I informed the three about my plan for the morning.

Since Ive decided to ask for my parents' help to keep the Ichihara or Kujou family in check in case they start meddling in our issue, doing it today was a lot better than waiting for another opportune moment.

Was it too early? Maybe. However, with how things progressed, I couldnt afford to sit back and not do anything regarding that ringlet girls situation. Alone, she wouldnt be able to stand the heat from those two families and Ichihara Jun who would definitely ask for an adults help to smoothen out the mess he made regarding his arranged marriage.

Marika would be coming to the gym later and since I have an agreement with Ichihara-san to coach her daughter privately, Id be getting another chance to talk to the ringlet girl and scout out information in that family compound.

Alright. Well be back by lunch. Eimi is going to eat with us so I hope you all get along with her too.

Absolutely, husband. Shes one of us. Im actually surprised you didnt come to pick her up first.

Ah. I planned to come to the supermarket with her again today but she said her parents already went to get groceries yesterday. Shes coming over now so well leave after I see her.

Youre not going to pick her up?

Well, shes turning more like you, girls. She doesnt want to trouble me when I have other plans. And she insisted on coming over rather than having me pick her up at their house. Maybe Ill scold her for a bit.

I could imagine that girl raising both of her fists as she gathered her courage. I guess thats also a development for her. After getting the courage to confess and court me, its now her time to properly develop. For sure, her parents and Anzu-nee have started seeing the change in Eimi ever since I came into her life. Thats also why I easily gained their approval.

Scold, huh? I bet youre going to spoil her as well. Ruki, we all know your modus by now. Miyako cheekily grinned.

Shes not wrong though.

Oh? Im glad my dear Miyako started paying more attention to how I act. You dont hate me anymore, do you?

I still do, idiot. But I love you even more now.

At the end of her sentence, Miyakos grin disappeared and her face flared in crimson color. That made me jump on my feet to go to her side and tease her. In the end, the girl melted in my arms once more as she asked me for a kiss.

Ive given it right away, obviously. Cant say no to spoiling her again. Even if weve already done all that earlier, I wouldnt get tired of their reaction.

Sheesh. Go get a room, you two. Oh, no. Lets all go back to our room, looks like we failed to squeeze him dry. Ruki is being cheeky.

And upon seeing that, Haruko couldnt help but facepalm at the sight. Nonetheless, rather than annoyed, shes more amused at how I could instantly flip my switch on jumping at them to be affectionate.

Uhm... Haru, Ruki is cute when hes this cheeky.

Then, Edel also put in words as she slowly made her way to us.

Being called cute by Edel is more than a compliment. Come here, Ill spoil you too. I answered while stretching my arm out to her which she immediately took.

Akane and Haruko, who were left at the side, could only smile at each other as they watched us. Well, it didnt take long for them to join as well.

And this continued until the doorbell rang which indicated Eimis arrival.

After welcoming her and carrying the bag that she brought containing food ingredients that she personally packed for the lunch she was going to cook for us, I stayed true to my word.

I brought her upstairs where I spoiled her a lot. Enough that when we went back downstairs, the other girls mistakenly thought that we did it.

While that didnt happen, the progress we made could be said to be a preparation for it...

Am I stalling again? Maybe, but I dont know... When it comes to Eimi, the two of us agreed that instead of rushing to it, guiding her bit by bit on the necessary knowledge was preferable. If last time we almost passed the first hurdle, she was more or less expecting me to finally touch her directly as well as feel my body heat through skin-to-skin contact.

Yep. We lay down next to each other naked from bottom to top. And my hands explored every part of her, saving her most sacred place for the finale. With the stimulation she received, just a simple touch was enough for her to climax.

Anyway, shell still be here when we return later so... Ill spoil her for a second time before escorting her back home.

Mom, were coming over. Haruko is with me.

Thats the message I sent to my mother as soon as we stepped out of our house. Although her response wasnt swift like most of my girls, it was still quick enough that we didnt need to wait at the train platform for the general direction to where they were staying.

I know the address since theyre also expecting me to visit Minoru while Miwa-nee was away but I havent been to that area before. We could cut down travel time this way.

Okay, baby boy. Your father will be waiting for you at the station. Go and tease him for me by showing him how close you are to Haruko-chan.

Wait. Did he upset you again? What did he do this time?

While shes all smiles most of the time, the only reason she would want my father tormented was because of what he did...

Nothing much. I only caught him answering Mikakos queries.

Ah. No wonder. While shes accepting of my complex relationship, shes the type whos extremely possessive when it comes to my father. Perhaps, if need be, she could put a collar on him or plaster a sign saying that my father is her property. Thats scary in a way.

But why is Hayashi-sensei contacting my father again after deciding to move on?

Wait. Shes not asking him about me, right? Did she tattle about how I acted around her a few days ago?
