Chapter 757 - A Little Secret
It was around 9 PM when Suzuki’s car arrived at our house carrying Akane and the others. I asked if they wanted to stay the night. There were enough rooms for us anyway.
They did leave the car and entered the house, however, they only planned to talk about the request I asked them about earlier this morning.
Aika and Hiyori weren’t permitted to spend overnight in their ‘friend’s’ house. Or rather, it was too late for them to ask.
As for Mizuki, she took up the responsibility to send them home properly and with prepared justification why they were out until this late into the night.
Anyway, my request was simple. I asked them to observe Otoha’s surroundings, whether they were strictly guarding her or if her mother kept on hounding her.
Apparently, even though they only stayed for a few hours there, her mother bugged them with questions concerning Otoha’s ‘significant other’.
As her classmate, Aika took most of the barrage of questions. Furthermore, that was done outside of Otoha’s room which somehow got the girl a little tense.
Due to that, the girl closed in on me as soon as we entered the room asking me to comfort her.
Well, that sounded like an excuse but I welcomed it wholeheartedly. So by the time we sat down in the living room, not just Aika but also Hiyori snuggled to my side while I listened to them.
Fortunately, when they were invited to the dinner table where they were served a luxurious meal, Otoha’s dad controlled the atmosphere and prevented it from becoming heavy, saving them from further ordeal. Whenever his wife would veer in that direction, he would fake a cough and shake his head.
And at that table, one of Otoha’s older brothers was also present and was surprised by Akane and the others’ visit.
When they told me the name of her brother, I recalled that he was someone I already met before. As always, his face in my memory was obviously blurred… I would most likely remember what he looked like if I ever meet him again.
Ah. There’s one thing I remembered about him. It was his total dislike towards that idiotic former fiancée of Otoha. He also couldn’t stand his arrogance and the way he always acted as if everything was supposed to revolve around him. That guy’s a spoiled jerk. Nonetheless, he’s bowing and subservient towards those in higher standing in him. And just because he thought that Otoha would be his wife, that didn’t extend to her.
If I ever see that guy somewhere, I will definitely give him a punch of a lifetime. He’s at their school so… if by chance I run into him when I sneak inside there again, he won’t know what hit him…
Back to the topic.
Otoha’s brother, who I recalled to be named Hidekazu, was around four years older than Otoha. He should be in his third year in college if he’s still studying. But with Otoha having advanced education, there’s no doubt that he’s also had it. Perhaps he already graduated, who knows?
On the other hand, her eldest brother was living overseas, in that famous country in the west that always screams freedom and hamburgers. He’s already married and he’s managing an overseas branch of the company under the Kaneko House in that country while also representing them on the international stage.
I hadn’t met him and I doubt I would be anytime soon. Besides, he’s not the focus here.
A while later, after they finished telling me what they found out, I got approached by Mizuki.
Apparently, that brother of Otoha kept on eyeing her, even initiating a conversation about her line of expertise. Whether that was a show of his interest over her or just because she was proven successful at her age, she had no idea.
Nonetheless, Mizuki confessed that she didn’t like the way he stared at her. She detailed how it felt. The words she used were sticky and rather lascivious.
If he was any other guy and not Otoha’s brother, I would probably fly into a rage after hearing that.
Instead, I pulled Mizuki in my embrace and brought her to my previous room and pampered her a lot. Enough to make her forget that sensation she felt from how that guy stared at her.
Well, Mizuki had no idea and I couldn’t tell her straight.
It’s a secret that I vowed not to divulge, after all.
That brother of Otoha is actually a closet bisexual. He can’t show it openly in fear that he will be disowned. Most likely, he’s stared at Mizuki and initiated a conversation with her because of her reputation and beauty that he’s envious of.
Akane and the other two also whispered to me about that rather sticky gaze coming from him. Although he didn’t talk to them after the introduction, that’s what they observed. Moreover, since it’s Otoha’s brother, they didn’t want to offend him while they’re guests in their place.
If I recall correctly, Otoha told me that he planned to come out of his closet after proving himself successful as well as a great asset for their business enterprise.
In their family, only Otoha was aware of it. That’s another reason why they’re close. As to how she found out about his secret, I forgot.
Well, the only reason I knew about it was that she spilled that secret to me.
Ugh… Now I remember…
I remember why Otoha told me about that… It’s still giving me chills.
It’s that one instance where we met when he dropped by the school to check on his sister. Upon seeing my closeness to Otoha, he asked her for my name, saying I look better than her idiotic fiancée. And if she claimed that I was just a close junior to her, he coveted getting to know me better.
Now, I have nothing against those like him, with their kind of preference.
Still, I was the type who’d rather not get involved with them. I was straightforward and frank most of the time. I might hurt them with words I would blurt out.
Anyway, that’s that.
He’s not a threat or even a problem. Mizuki must’ve misinterpreted his intention. Otoha confessed to him that she wouldn’t hand me over to him so we’re actually cool. Given that it’s a secret, it would also be bad if I tell it to my girls without Otoha’s consent.
Now that I think of it, that guy probably already guessed who her boyfriend is. He’s just keeping silent because their mother was once again pushing for that idiot.
But if ever his preference changed and he got truly taken in by my Mizuki beauty. Then… brother-in-law or not, I would definitely deal with him.
Turn his back to his previous ways, maybe? Introduce Ogawa to him?
“Mhm… How are you feeling? Does it still bother you?” After the ‘comforting’ session, I asked the girl who’s using my naked chest as her pillow.
Well, it’s wrong to call it a comforting session. I admit that I also got influenced by my desire for her. The simple comforting evolved to more than that. And now, we’re both naked while snuggling with each other. The temperature of the room was still high, in the aftermath of our intense lovemaking…
Looking down, my length that’s still half-erect was still coated by her love juice. Likewise, Mizuki’s sacred place was dripping wet and spilling what I filled her with.
“That perverted expression. You’re unbelievable.” Mizuki exasperatingly pushed her hand on my face, trying to cover my eyes. “… Anyway, not anymore… I get it. Being stared at like that isn’t new. Be it in school or when I am accompanying them on negotiating terms for our business, I get them a lot. Say, Ruki, am I really beautiful?”
Look at this girl dropping a question like that… But she’s right though. Not only her, but most of my girls were just too beautiful not to catch other boys’ and men’s attention. Even the slightly gloomy ones like Miyako, Rae or even Aya could turn heads once they got a proper look of them. I mean, I will be biased here to say that all of them are beauties that most of those in the same gender as me will only dream of having as their girlfriend.
“Are you seriously asking me that?” Trying to liven up our current situation, I asked jokingly.
And that earned me a pinch of my nose. Not just her way to express her slight annoyance but also revenge of sorts for when I always went for her nose. “Just answer my question, you numbskull… After making me moan like that, are you still reluctant to share your opinion with me?”
This girl… She had to point out how I made her moan, huh? She’s already beautiful but how adorable can she further become?
