After rinsing for a while, Katsura Manami turned off the water, squeezed some shower gel onto her hands, and then applied it to her body.
When she applied the ointment to her chest, Katsura Manami couldn't help but rub it in a little more.
It would have been better if she hadn't done that; a tingling sensation came from her chest, reminding Katsura Manami of what happened in the bathroom last night.
Katsura Manami's breathing suddenly became heavy, and her hand moved downwards uncontrollably.
Although reason told Katsura Manami that this was not the time to do such a thing, Katsura Manami simply couldn't resist.
After all, she was a beautiful widow who managed the household alone. When she was tired, Katsura Manami couldn't help but want to do something to vent her desires.
So once she starts, it's hard for Katsura Manami to stop.
As her fingers began to gently stir, Katsura Manami became even more unable to stop.
Her hands were busy moving up and down, but Katsura Manami always felt like something was missing, and she was inexplicably not quite satisfied with what she was doing.
Suddenly, Yuga Ritsu's small face flashed through Katsura Manami's mind, and she finally realized that something was missing.
Chapter 28
What.
It turned out to be Ritsu Haga. Although Manami Katsura's own technique was more skilled than Ritsu Haga's, Ritsu Haga's small hands seemed to have magic, providing a better feel for chopsticks than her own.
Moreover, the feeling of doing this with someone you like is different.
Without realizing it, Katsura Manami couldn't help but murmur the name of Haga Ritsu.
"Lawyer... Lawyer..."
Anyone who didn't know better would think that Ritsu Haga is right next to Manami Katsura.
But that's not actually the case; it's just that Katsura Manami used Haga Ritsu as a side dish.
This was a last resort. Yuga Ritsu was already asleep and had taken a shower long ago, so Katsura Manami couldn't very well go to Yuga Ritsu's room and wake him up.
So this was the only thing Katsura Manami could do.
"what……"
A soft, melodious gasp echoed in the bathroom as Katsura Manami braced herself against the wall to keep from collapsing to her knees.
Although it was supposed to be over, there was no satisfaction on Katsura Manami's face; instead, she looked quite tired.
Using Haga Ritsu as a side dish did not make Katsura Manami feel better; instead, it left her feeling empty inside afterward.
She didn't want this empty, unfulfilling sense of satisfaction.
"Ugh."
Katsura Manami regained her balance, then turned on the shower and rinsed off the shower gel.
After showering, Katsura Manami, wrapped in a bath towel, staggered back to her room. As soon as she touched the bed, a wave of exhaustion washed over her.
Katsura Manami turned her head and glanced at her side, but there was no sign of Haga Ritsu, who was currently sleeping with her daughter in his arms.
She wants to sleep with him too!
After closing her eyes, Katsura Manami immediately fell asleep.
At four o'clock in the morning, a few rustling sounds came from Yuga Ritsu's room.
Yuga Ritsu, who was sleeping soundly, was also awakened by the commotion, because the one who made the noise was none other than Katsura Kotonoha in his arms.
"What's wrong, Kotoha?" Ritsu Haga asked Kotoha Katsura, forcing himself to stay awake.
"I...I need to pee," Katsura Kotonoha said somewhat awkwardly.
"Then go to the toilet."
Yuga Ritsu thought it was something serious, but it turned out he just needed to pee.
"But I'm afraid of the dark."
After speaking, Katsura Kotonoha turned her head away, not daring to meet Haga Ritsu's gaze. She probably knew that being afraid of the dark at her age would make her a laughingstock.
"Okay, I'll go with you."
What could Haga Ritsu do? Hearing that Katsura Kotonoha was afraid of the dark, he didn't accompany her. Was he supposed to wait for her to wet the bed, or was he supposed to catch it with his mouth?
"Thank you, Ritsu-kun." Katsura Kotonoha's small face showed gratitude.
The two then got up, but Yuga Ritsu was still very sleepy and walked unsteadily.
Seeing this, Katsura Kotonoha took the initiative to hold Haga Ritsu's hand for the first time.
After taking Yuga Ritsu's hand and feeling the warmth of his body, the darkness that was originally terrifying no longer seemed so frightening to Katsura Kotonoha.
Chapter 24 Reward
The two walked hand in hand out of the room toward the bathroom.
When the two were still a short distance from the toilet, a sudden noise rang out.
In the stillness of the night, the sound was so clear that it startled both Haga Ritsu and Katsura Kotonoha, causing them to stop immediately.
Even Yuga Ritsu, who was still in a daze, was instantly awakened by this shout.
Before Haga Ritsu and Katsura Kotonoha could even speak, a bright light appeared, and Katsura Manami's room door opened.
Manami Katsura was seen putting on her clothes with one hand and making a phone call with the other.
"I know, I'll go there now."
"Okay, you guys hold on..."
Seeing this, Katsura Kotonoha subconsciously wanted to go forward and greet her mother, but before she could go forward, Haga Ritsu pulled her back.
Katsura Kotonoha turned around and looked at Haga Ritsu in confusion, only to see that Haga Ritsu just shook his head at her, clearly indicating that she should not speak.
Despite her confusion, Katsura Kotonoha chose to believe Haga Ritsu and did not speak further.
Meanwhile, Katsura Manami didn't notice that there were two other people standing in the darkness. After putting down her phone, the exhaustion on her face was impossible to hide.
Although Katsura Manami didn't want to work at this time, she had no choice but to accept that she had initiated the project, and if it was completed, she would gain most of the control over the group.
But conversely, if problems arise, she will also hold them accountable.
So despite her reluctance, Katsura Manami still decided to deal with the matter.
After fastening her buttons, Katsura Manami quickly walked towards the stairs, not noticing Haga Ritsu and Katsura Kotonoha until she left.
"Is Mom going to work again?" Katsura Kotonoha turned to look at Haga Ritsu.
"Yes."
This was the first time Haga Ritsu had realized that Katsura Manami was so busy, having to go to the company to handle things in the middle of the night.
However, what he didn't know was that Katsura Manami didn't have complete control of the company yet, so he had to personally supervise many things.
"Okay, go to the bathroom, then go back to sleep."
As he spoke, Yuhe Ritsu couldn't help but yawn. He hadn't had enough sleep yet. His body had shrunk, which made his sleep time longer.
After Haga Ritsu pulled Katsura Kotonoha forward a couple of steps, he realized that Katsura Kotonoha was still standing in the same spot.
"what happened?"
"My mother looks very tired."
“Yeah, after all, she has to work in the middle of the night.” Yuga Ritsu was able to empathize with Katsura Manami.
"I want to do something to help my mother?" Katsura Kotonoha suddenly mustered up her courage and said to Haga Ritsu.
Upon hearing this, Yuga Ritsu looked at Katsura Kotonoha with some surprise. He saw that Katsura Kotonoha looked very serious and did not seem to be joking.
"After seeing the exhausted Katsura Manami, Katsura Kotonoha suddenly wanted to do something to help her mother, and the only person she could turn to was you."
"Route 1: In your opinion, what can Katsura Kotonoha do? She might as well just wash up and go to bed early, and not cause trouble for Katsura Manami. Refuse to help Katsura Kotonoha. (Reward: 10000 yen)"
Route Two: Since Katsura Kotonoha has asked you for help, you, being a righteous person, will naturally not stand idly by. Do your best to help Katsura Kotonoha. (Reward: 10000 yen)
"It's all money, isn't there any substantial reward?" Yuga Ritsu said helplessly.
Since he was already there, Yuga Ritsu didn't think twice and directly chose Route Two. He was going to take Katsura Kotonoha for granted, so wasn't it only natural for him to do something for his girl?
Yuga Ritsu is not a cold-hearted person; he has a heart of flesh and blood.
"So, Kotoha, what do you want to do?"
"I don't know..." When asked this, Katsura Kotonoha lowered her head in disappointment.
Seeing this, Yuga Ritsu shook his head and said, "Kotoha, there are many ways you want to help your mother, such as cleaning, but since we have maids at home, you don't need to do that kind of work."
Katsura Kotonoha nodded immediately upon hearing this.
Yuga Ritsu continued unhurriedly, "Then the above methods are eliminated. However, when your mother comes back, you can bring her a basin of hot water to wash her feet, and also make her breakfast."
"Breakfast?" Katsura Kotonoha noticed that Haga Ritsu had mentioned this.
"Yes, breakfast. Your mother would be very happy to have breakfast made by you."
Upon hearing what Ritsu Haga said, Kotonoha Katsura immediately pictured Manami Katsura's smile after eating the breakfast she had made.
Thinking of this, Katsura Kotonoha's heart started beating faster.
"This one will do!" Katsura Kotonoha said, sounding slightly excited.
Katsura Kotonoha's joy didn't last long before she realized a problem, which was...
Chapter 29
She has no idea how to make breakfast.
The only thing Katsura Kotonoha can do in the kitchen is probably make lemonade, which she's very proud of, but she can't very well make a glass of lemonade for Katsura Manami for breakfast.
It's worth noting that Katsura Kotonoha's technique was taught to her by Katsura Manami.
After realizing the problem, Katsura Kotonoha's mood immediately became depressed.
"But I don't know how to do it."
"I know how," Ritsu Haga reminded Kotonoha Katsura at just the right moment.
Katsura Kotonoha's eyes lit up immediately, and she looked at Haga Ritsu with anticipation.
"Kotoha, you know what to do, right?"
Of course, Yuga Ritsu wouldn't agree immediately. Instead, he raised his hand and gently touched his lips.
The implication is self-evident: usually, it's Ritsu Haga who initiates the kiss with Kotonoha Katsura, but this time, Ritsu Haga wants Kotonoha Katsura to initiate the kiss with him.
When Katsura Kotonoha saw Haga Ritsu touch her lips, she already knew what to do, after all, she and Haga Ritsu had kissed quite a few times.
However, she has never kissed Yuga Ritsu on her own initiative.
The thought of taking the initiative to kiss Ritsu Haga made Kotonoha Katsura a little uneasy, but she did not resist at all.
Gently pursing her thin, delicate lips, Katsura Kotonoha leaned in and pressed her lips to Haga Ritsu's. The touch between their lips caused Katsura Kotonoha's lips to tremble slightly.
Katsura Kotonoha did not look away, but shyly looked into Haga Ritsu's eyes, and she could see what Haga Ritsu meant from his eyes.
That's not enough!
If it's just lips touching lips, it can't be called a kiss.
Katsura Kotonoha has kissed Haga Ritsu several times, so of course she understands this principle.
So Katsura Kotonoha awkwardly used the tip of her tongue to pry open Haga Ritsu's teeth, and then inserted her small tongue inside.
Once inside Yuga Ritsu's mouth, Yuga Ritsu didn't move at all, so Katsura Kotonoha had no choice but to curl up on top of him. Under Katsura Kotonoha's clumsy tongue skills, Yuga Ritsu finally started to move.
Soon, the initiative was seized by Haga Ritsu, and the battle line was quickly pushed back into Katsura Kotonoha's mouth.
As the kiss continued, Katsura Kotonoha seemed to have forgotten why she was kissing Haga Ritsu in the first place; she was already immersed in the sensation the kiss brought her.
Meanwhile, Haga Ritsu's little hand was not idle either; it had already silently slipped into Katsura Kotonoha's pajama bottoms.
Katsura Kotonoha not only did not resist Haga Ritsu's actions, but she didn't even try to stop him, probably because she had gotten used to Haga Ritsu's sometimes dishonest behavior.
However, Ritsu Haga's movements did not last long before he stopped.
Because he felt a sensation coming from his hand, Yuga Ritsu almost forgot why he and Katsura Kotonoha had come out in the first place.
