Chapter Title: 9.3 The Third Time This Morning: With Sana...?
-----------------------------------------------------------------
"Phew, late again."
After being seduced by Akane in the kitchen and having my mana drained from me.
By the time I finished washing up quickly, it was already too late—I was definitely running behind.
Akane's temptations rendered even my iron will useless.
To seduce me like this... Is Akane secretly a succubus?
Hmm. Speaking of which, this is a real problem.
Having a succubus at home. At this rate, I might be late every single day.
Being late every day would get me in trouble no matter who I am.
I wouldn't get expelled just for tardiness, but getting called in here and there would be a hassle. Maybe I need some kind of countermeasure?
...Huh? As long as I don't get expelled, does it really matter?
Getting scolded for being late every day because I'm injecting mana into Akane vs. just living freely.
No need to ask which one I'd pick.
-Ding-dong.
Or maybe there's a way to be late every day without getting in trouble?
I rang the doorbell at Yuuki's house while seriously pondering that foolish idea.
It was already quite late, so Yuu might have left already, but there was still a slim chance she was waiting.
Well, even if Yuu wasn't there, I could at least see Sana's face. Heh heh.
'Coming~! I'll be right out~!'
Sana's voice echoed from inside the house.
As expected, Yuu probably headed out first?
'Eek!'
-Thud.
I was leisurely waiting for the door to open when a loud noise came from inside.
Did Sana trip while rushing out in a hurry?
『Ouch, ouch. It hurts.』
...Looks like she really did fall.
I pulled out the spare key hidden under the flowerpot by the front door.
Not sure if it's just Rune Town, but around here, there's this odd trend that analog locks with keys are safer than electronic ones with passcodes.
Yet people hide the keys in such obvious spots. It's a culture I can't comprehend as a modern person.
I unlocked the front door with the key from under the flowerpot and stepped inside.
"Sana, are you okay?"
...Just to be clear, I didn't enter the house with any funny intentions.
I was simply being considerate, not wanting her to rush out and hurt herself more while she was already in pain from the fall.
"Oh my!"
If I'd known Sana was naked, I wouldn't have come in. Seriously.
Indeed, Sana must have just come out of the shower or something—she wasn't wearing a stitch of clothing.
She probably heard the bell and hurried out, only to trip. She was struggling to get up, rubbing one hip with her hand, when I walked in.
So please understand—it was absolutely not on purpose.
"Sorry, Sana!"
Damn. It's been a while. This accursed lucky pervert moment.
I quickly turned my back, but in that instant, my eyes burned the image of Sana's naked body into my retinas at 1/100th of a second intervals.
Her plump hips and thighs, the neat patch of hair glimpsed between her legs, her maternally full breasts.
Sana's body truly is beautiful. Even setting aside my own desires and looking at her objectively, she doesn't look like the mother of two grown daughters.
"H-Haha, sorry about that, Naibusu. I was just getting out of the shower."
Sana laughed awkwardly, flustered.
I could picture her scrambling to cover herself.
"No, it's my fault for barging in without a word. Sorry. Yuu already left, right? I'll head out too."
Sana and I have a pretty deep relationship, but there's a difference between her showing herself willingly and me walking in unexpectedly.
Sweet Sana would surely say it's fine, but I couldn't bear to face her. So I planned to escape the awkwardness as quickly as possible.
"No, wait a sec! I'll get dressed and come out right away. There's something I need to talk to you about, Naibusu."
"Something to talk about?"
"Yeah. Have a seat on the sofa and wait. I'll be quick."
"Ah, okay."
I wanted to bolt, but she specifically said she had something to discuss—I couldn't just run off.
Guess I'll sit quietly and wait.
Sitting on the sofa in Yuuki's living room, I first tried probing with my Mind Rune to see what Sana wanted to talk about, but...
『Darn, where are those panties? They must be somewhere in this drawer. No helping it. I can't keep Naibusu waiting too long.』
...All I heard from Sana were such embarrassing thoughts.
"Naibusu, sorry to keep you waiting."
"N-No..."
A little later.
Facing Sana as she emerged into the living room dressed, I couldn't help but tense up.
Sana wore a maxi dress that clung to her body, accentuating her figure.
It was a style she often wore, but today its effect was especially potent.
The outline of her nipples poked prominently through the fabric, and there was no sign of panty lines where they should be.
That meant the crucial piece protecting a woman's weak spot was missing.
In simple terms, Sana was going braless and panty-less right now.
『I rushed out so fast I couldn't even put on underwear. But it probably doesn't show, right?』
...No. It shows. A lot.
"You could've... taken your time..."
I mumbled stiffly, tense as a board.
Junior. Don't get all tense and hard.
You already went twice right after waking up. So behave. Good boy.
"Sorry, Naibusu. I had something important to tell you."
I figured Sana would sit right in front of me, but she sat beside me instead.
Her hand naturally overlapped mine, which had been resting on my knee.
Her gentle warmth enveloped the back of my hand.
If it were anyone else, it could easily be seen as seduction.
But I knew Sana had no such intentions. It just meant she was comfortable with me.
"S-So, what did you want to talk about, Sana?"
I asked, swallowing hard from the tension.
If it was advice she needed, I'd listen to anything. If there was something I could help with, I'd roll up my sleeves without hesitation.
Sana always felt bad asking for favors without offering anything in return and tried to compensate with naughty stuff, but honestly, I didn't need any compensation.
To me, Sana, Yuu, and Hina were all like family—precious people.
Sana opened her mouth in a somewhat subdued tone.
"Yesterday, Yuu seemed like she had something bothering her again. She wouldn't talk, looked all gloomy, and barely ate. Even when I asked what was wrong, she wouldn't tell me anything."
"Ah~."
I understood Sana's worry. Yuu had been bullied not long ago.
Even if I assured her it was all resolved cleanly, as her mother, Sana would still fret.
Especially since Yuu had become a girl out of nowhere—any little change in behavior would naturally concern her.
"Do you know anything, Naibusu? This morning, she was fidgety from the start and left late. I thought she'd wait for you and go together, but here you are coming to our house separately..."
"Aah."
Yuu had come to my house.
Then it must've been right in the middle of things with Akane. She probably heard voices too? Akane was pretty loud. Maybe she left first to avoid interrupting?
Hmm. If that's the case, it's a bit embarrassing.
Still, what's got Yuu down? What happened yesterday?
"Ah!"
I remembered.
What happened with Yuu yesterday.
Noticing my reaction like I'd recalled something, Sana leaned in close.
"Naibusu, do you have any idea?"
"Uh... well..."
Of course I had an idea.
We'd done naughty stuff in the pool changing room just yesterday. And afterward, I'd turned down Yuu's invitation to go home together.
After that, I'd been caught up with Teacher Akatsuki, Akane, and Sis one after another, so I'd completely forgotten about what happened with Yuuki. It had bugged me right after, but the intense time since had pushed it to the back of my mind.
"Naibusu. Please. Tell me anything you can think of."
As I hesitated, unable to speak, Sana pressed even closer.
Squish. Her breasts pressed against my arm.
She gripped both my hands tightly with hers.
"Th-That is, um..."
But how could I tell Sana this?
That after doing naughty things with your daughter, I acted a bit cold, and that's probably why.
But my body paid no mind to my awkward feelings. It focused only on the soft sensation against my arm, drawing my gaze there.
Sana's breasts squished against my arm, her cleavage peeking slightly above. Even trying not to look, my eyes went there automatically.
『Naibusu is looking at my chest. Seeing my chest at a time like this must mean... Plus, coming over this early means that's what it's about. It has to be connected to Yuu. Oh... dear, here I go again...』
"—Naibusu. I'm not asking for it for free."
"W-Wait, Sana."
Sana pulled my hand she'd been holding and pressed it to her breast.
Squish. Through the thin fabric of the dress, the meltingly soft feel of her breast transmitted to my palm. At the peak of that lofty mound, I could vividly sense her slightly hardened nipple.
"Naibusu, you like Aunty's breasts, right? Feel them as much as you want. Or do you want to feel them bare? Or maybe..."
Sana looked up at me with a desperate expression.
Having just showered, a sweet shampoo scent wafted from her.
"A-Aunty can do even better things for you..."
"Ugh..."
Before I knew it, one of Sana's hands had reached my lower abdomen.
My member, which had been behaving quietly, started to raise its head slyly.
"Yeah? Naibusu, please help me and Yuu a little. I'm begging you."
One hand pressing mine to her breast, the other stroking my groin.
Her moist eyes stirred my protective instincts.
This was a situation where I'd get swept up in Sana's temptation again.
—But I couldn't let that happen.
"Sana!"
"Eek!"
I summoned every ounce of willpower and grabbed both her wrists.
If I hadn't released twice early this morning, I probably couldn't have resisted.
But this time, I absolutely couldn't give in.
Sana's worry was about her daughter Yuu, and Yuu's worry was about me.
Using that to demand Sana's body in exchange for helping? That'd be no different from a self-staged drama! It was something no pure love fan—or even a decent human—would do.
"Sana. I understand you're worried about Yuu. But please don't worry too much. I'll make sure she smiles again within a few days, at least."
I gripped her hands firmly and promised.
"So, trust me and wait."
"Naibusu..."
Sana stared at me blankly.
Did I manage to look reliable to her?
Sana had been my object of admiration since childhood, so I couldn't help but try to act cool in front of her.
I stood up and bowed politely to Sana.
"Then I'll be off. I'm late for the academy."
"N-Naibusu?"
I heard Sana's voice from behind, but I didn't look back as I left the house.
Whew. I ended up worrying Sana unnecessarily too.
At the academy, I need to get along better with Yuu.
Yesterday, after doing that with her, my head was a mess, but thinking back now, it felt insignificant compared to what I did with Sis.
I'm doing it with dead people and my own blood sister—what's a gender swap? In this day and age, gender stuff isn't even a big deal.
Yeah. I'll meet Yuu properly and make up. For Sana's peace of mind too.
With that light resolve, I headed to the academy.
Meanwhile.
Left alone in the living room, Kurosaki Sana stared blankly at the front door where Naibusu had left.
Despite her rather bold actions, her daughter's friend hadn't wavered.
Naibusu's words of helping without compensation were a relief, but they also left her feeling a bit lonely.
"...Maybe I'm just not enough."
Feeling wistful, she placed a hand on her breast where his warmth lingered.
She was aware that her looks had faded with age.
To a still-young Naibusu, she must seem far less appealing than the girls around him.
She knew that, but...
Still... she'd hoped a little.
"Haa..."
She probably wouldn't feel like a 'woman' again anytime soon.
Sana let out that lonely feeling with a deep sigh.
