Volume 13 Chapter 277 Shirogane Aqua, I Won’t Let You Look Down On Me!
Edited by: Kanaa-senpai
After the Cultural Festival ended, what awaited me next was the nationwide tour live. During dinner, I informed everyone present that I’d be away from home for about three days starting tomorrow.
”So, since I’ll be gone for a little while, please indulge me today.”
””””””””””Here!!””””””””””
I spread my arms wide, welcoming everyone’s hugs. Ouch! Kaede’s strength was so overwhelming it felt like my ribs might crack. Has she been a bit out of control lately!?
”I’m, I’m sorry, Aqua-kun. Lately, I just can’t seem to control myself. I mean, with my due date coming up, I feel my power growing stronger. I think this must be what they call maternal instinct.”
I nodded with a smile. “No, that’s not maternal instinct!” I held back a dull retort like Inko-san, who was fussing behind me.
”It’s okay, Kaede. I’ll be fine.”
”Aqua-kun! You’re the only one who can handle my love!!”
Kaede jumped at me, and I caught her with all my strength. Phew, glad I’ve been training regularly. After all, you need muscles to love a girl properly. In RPGs, you level up and hit hard; it’s the same in dating games. Build muscle, and you can catch the love of the other person with strength. My theory: muscles let you handle any heavy love.
”What, going somewhere again? I don’t know where, but make sure to bring back souvenirs for everyone.”
”Guh!”
Suddenly, Kohina-senpai jumped on me from behind. W-wait, Kohina-senpai—the drawstring of my hoodie is tightening around my neck… Hah, hah, I’m glad I managed to loosen it. I was almost about to die…
Indeed, Kohina-senpai is one you can’t handle with brute strength—she requires caution.
”Oh, I want to eat little lady Dango!!”
”Hehe. You’ve loved Dango forever. Remember when we went to eat Dango together… Mmmph!”
Kanon’s face flushed red as she covered Emily’s mouth. The sight of the beautiful Kanon and the gorgeous Emily playing together is, to put it mildly, the best.
I gazed at them with a lovestruck expression.
”Hey, Emily-senpai, don’t say unnecessary things!”
”I know. I won’t tell Aqua-sama that you were quietly eating Dango while all the boys passing by were watching.”
”You’re saying everything! Geez!!”
Watching Kanon always calms my heart. Everyone listening to their conversation wore warm, contented expressions. I truly believe there’s something special you can only get from Kanon.
”Aqua-kun, please get some jikoten (dried fish cake) as a snack.”
”Ah, Hakuryuu-sensei, that’s a good choice.”
”As expected of Hakuryuu-sensei, you really know what’s good.”
”Hehe, this will make the alcohol even better.”
Ai, Mother, Grandma Mary, and Shitori-onee-chan, already a bit tipsy, were excitedly discussing the next snack. Normally, I don’t drink in front of minors, but today’s special since I’ll be out of the house for a while. Luckily, none of the women in our group have bad drinking habits, so as long as they don’t get drunk, I allow drinking at dinner on special occasions.
If I had to pick a troublemaker, it’d be Maron-san, who’s a kiss addict, but don’t worry, I’ll handle it all.
”Ehehe, Aqua-kun’s lips are so different from a girl’s… mmmhmm.”
”Maron-senpai, please wake up already! Fran is not your body pillow, and Aqua-sama is not here!”
I watched Fran-chan being tightly hugged by Maron-san with a jealous expression.
Everyone, it’s fine to enjoy your drinks, but be careful not to drink too much.
See, not just Maron-san—Agewa-san in the corner has passed out from drinking too much.
”Mmm… I can’t anymore…”
”Ughh, my fingers are sinking in. Is this what they mean by ‘magical breasts’…?”
Prime Minister Habu, it’s fine to poke Agewa-san’s sleeping breasts, but if a secretly filmed video leaks online later, you’ll have to apologize again. Besides, didn’t you just lose an argument with Agewa-san the other day?
”I have my pride as Prime Minister. Whenever I debate Congressman Kokucho, I face her with the feeling, ‘I won’t be looked down on!’”
Saying that, Prime Minister Habu entered the Diet building, looking cool with a determined expression.
Summer King, sitting next to me watching TV, whispered with admiration, “Mom, so cool…”
Then, after finishing the heated debate with Agewa-san, Prime Minister Habu spoke into the camera:
”I must say, please someone help me from Congressman Kokucho’s pursuit…”
At that moment, Summer King, sitting beside me, whispered with a disappointed face, “Mom, that’s uncool…”
I glanced over at Summer King and Kukuri-chan, watching from a distance. They stared at Prime Minister Habu, who was harassing Agewa-san, with eyes so cold they might as well have been absolute zero.
That gaze made me shrink back. “Prime Minister, let’s call it a day.” I gently tapped her shoulder, subtly urging her to look toward the two.
”I was pushing back against being treated like a fool earlier, but now I want to say this: please help me…”
I turned my face away from the tearful, pleading gaze of Prime Minister Habu and whistled, pretending not to notice.
”Prime Minister, I’ll at least pick up the pieces for you. Make sure to get properly scolded by those two.”
Meanwhile, Emily—secretly poking Agewa-san’s breasts from the other side—was being looked at with the same kind of icy glare by Kanon.
”I must say this: please help me, Aqua-sama!!”
I shook off the two clinging to my arms and quickly escaped the scene.
”Really, such fools.”
”Hehe, well, it’s not boring, though.”
Kohina-senpai, munching on a squid skewer from a snack shop, looked over here with a sulky expression.
”Hey, Kohina-senpai! It’s dinner time, so please don’t eat snacks. Honestly. You’re older than me, yet you still have such childish habits!!”
”What? I’m just having a little, so I’m not hungry, right? But snacks are a no-go.”
”And Ako-san, please don’t fill your stomach with alcohol!!”
”Come on, both of you, just wait a moment while I make some onigiri for you.”
”I like fancy dishes, but this kind of food is just fine. Yum yum.”
”I know, right? Oh, can I have a plum onigiri?”
Kohina-senpai and Ako-san happily ate the onigiri I made, along with salted tamagoyaki and octopus-shaped sausages.
Speaking of which, I noticed Ayana hadn’t been eating much when I glanced over earlier. I should check on her since I’m worried.
”Ayana. You haven’t been eating much. Are you okay?”
”Oh, yeah. Sorry, my stomach isn’t feeling too good…”
In times like that, porridge is the way to go. As I stood in the kitchen, Iria-san, who had been following me, quietly stood next to me.
”Huh? I’m not good at cooking, but do you want me to help with something for Ayana-chan?”
”If that’s the case!”
I put two fresh eggs and some sugar into a bowl and handed it to Iria-san.
”Iria-san. Please mix it well!”
”Got it! Leave it to me, Aqua-kun!”
As expected from someone trained in the same power sect. Unlike Kaede, who struggles to control her strength, Iria-san wields hers with delicate precision. Even when a tiny meteor—small enough to fit on a fingertip—fell, Iria-san caught it effortlessly. If Kaede had tried, she probably would’ve crushed it in her grip.
”Phew, is this good enough?”
”It’s perfect, Iria-san.”
I carefully place the meringue-like eggs atop the katsuo dashi porridge I’d made in the clay pot. Covering it, I let it simmer a little longer. Soon, it’ll be ready.
”Wow, it’s so fluffy!”
”Right?”
I sprinkle some mitsuba on top, then carry the pot, spoon, and bowl over to Ayana.
”I-It’s amazing. This…”
”It’s the world’s oldest egg dish, tamago fuwafuwa, reinvented as tamago fuwafuwa porridge! Please enjoy!”
Everyone crowds around the porridge I made. Honestly, if a girl loves soufflés or pancakes, she’d probably adore how this looks.
All eyes are on me, full of eager anticipation.
Alright, alright, I get it. You want me to make more, right?
I round up the stirring team. This task demands nothing but pure muscle power. After all, muscle—muscle solves everything! Wait, Pegonia-san? What’s wrong?
”Master wouldn’t it be faster to use the mixer? We have the benefits of civilization’s tools; let’s make use of them!”
”Ah, you’re right…”
The girls nearby giggle and start mixing the eggs with the mixer.
Ah, this is nice. I don’t mind making my own food, and it’s fine if the girls can’t cook, but there’s something special about watching a girl cook for me. Plus, they’re all wearing aprons—it’s adorable. Wait, Kukuri-chan’s wearing a kappogi!? No, actually, this works. Yeah. I nod several times, arms crossed.
Did Kukuri-chan notice my warm gaze? She shyly looks away.
”Um… I was thinking of feeding Agewa-oneechan instead. Eggs protect the liver, you know.”
Kukuri-chan, you’re so kind~.
Sorry, I was worried for nothing—wondering if you might not have enough dinner since you’re growing…
”Ah! Fi-chan, you’ve got some fluffy egg on your nose!”
”Really~nano?”
”Yeah.”
Haa-chan gently wipes the tip of Fi-chan’s nose with a tissue.
Those two are still inseparable.
By the way, is it just me, or does Haa-chan—the elementary schooler—seem more mature than Fi-chan, who’s in middle school?
”Nii-sama, good luck with your work!”
”Yeah, Lapis, look forward to the souvenirs, alright?”
I gently pat Lapis’s head, smiling up at me.
Now that I think about it, the face towel Lapis uses is worn out. Maybe I should buy a new one in Imabari and give it to her as a present.
I glance over at Rin-chan and Ruuna-senpai nearby.
”Rin-chan, Ruuna-senpai, is there anything you’d like as a souvenir?”
”I—I’d like some mandarin oranges, please. It’s about time to bring out the kotatsu, and when it comes to a kotatsu, mandarins are a must~ de gozaru.”
”Me too. Kotatsu mandarins are the best. They’re essential for lazy winter days.”
I see. Mandarins and a kotatsu really are the perfect pair.
Mikoto-chan, who had been quietly listening, suddenly raises her hand enthusiastically.
”Yes, yes! I want some oil made from mandarin oranges!!”
Oil, huh? Got it.
I turn toward Mikoto-chan’s side and then glance at Rinon-san.
”How about you, Rinon-san?”
”Ah, then I’d like a bath towel… Since I’m tall, I need a large one—otherwise, the fabric won’t be enough. Sorry.”
I see. Rinon-san really is taller than me. Even standing next to Tenga-senpai, she’s almost the same height, and when she wears heels, she easily surpasses two meters.
If only once, I’d like to be hugged by a woman taller than me.
”Aqua-kun, Aqua-kun.”
”Hmm? What’s up, Kokona?”
I walk over to Kokona, who called me over to the table where Kokona, Uruha, and Lisa are sitting.
”We were talking earlier, and we’d be really happy if you could buy some long-lasting sweets for everyone at school, right?”
”Yeah, I’m sure everyone will be thrilled to get a gift from you, Aqua-kun.”
”Of course, please also get something for Sugita-sensei and the other teachers.”
”Got it. Leave it to me.”
Right, since I’m at it, I should get something for everyone at school too.
I remember Kanon telling me that when we visit a local area for a live or shoot, it’s important to spend money to help boost the local economy. Otherwise, money just piles up here and doesn’t circulate.
While I’m thinking this, Yui approaches me with stiff movements, her face flushed and serious.
”Aa-sama, may I have a word?”
”What’s the matter, Yui?”
Yui stares at me with a flushed face.
Ah, she must have had quite a bit to drink.
”Please hug me tightly, Aa-sama.”
She spreads her arms, urging me with a quiet “hnn.”
How cute…
I hug Yui firmly, almost squishing her large chest.
”Thank you. I’ve replenished three days’ worth of Aa-sama. With this, I think I can last about three days even if Aa-sama leaves the house.”
I hug her tightly once more because she’s just too adorable.
Yui’s face usually goes expressionless when she drinks, but all her feelings come spilling out in words, making her even more endearing.
Feeling reassured, she breathes softly in her sleep while still in my arms.
Seeing this, Kotono approaches and gently creates space for Yui to lie down beside her.
”Aqua-san, I can’t keep up, so please be careful of injuries, accidents, and incidents.”
”Yeah, I know. Thanks for always worrying, Kotono.”
I spread my arms, inviting Kotono to hug me.
”Come on, you don’t have to be shy.”
Besides, I noticed you glancing at Yui earlier, so trying to play it cool is pointless.
”After all, I can’t win against Aqua-san.”
”Kotono, you might feel uneasy while I’m away, but if anything happens, rely on everyone. If something comes up, I’ll come back right away.”
Kotono makes a slightly dissatisfied face.
Huh? Did I say something wrong?
”That’s not acceptable. Aqua-san, even if something happens to me, please finish the national tour before coming back. I’ll do my best until then.”
”Got it.”
Kotono really is strong.
No wonder Kanon, Emily, and Kaede want to rely on her.
I gently embrace Kotono.
In that flow, I try to hug Kohina-senpai beside me, but she just looks at me coldly and doesn’t return the embrace.
Damn, I thought I could go with the flow, but my thinking was naive.
”Aqua-kun. If it’s okay with me…”
Natalia-san, seeing me frozen with arms outstretched, kindly hugs me instead.
I return the hug tightly, full of gratitude.
”Natalia-san, please take care of Kanon.”
”Yes. I will protect Kanon properly from Emily-san.”
Well, I don’t think she needs protecting from Emily…
Huh? Is Emily an enemy of Kanon!?
”Hehe, you still have that silly look on your face. Your intuition really swings between good and bad.”
”That’s absolutely true.”
Kohina-senpai nods in agreement with Victoria-sama’s words.
Just to be safe, I open and close my arms, silently appealing to Victoria-sama, but all I get is a cold stare.
Yeah… Victoria-sama’s shy. She wouldn’t hug me in front of everyone.
Hey! You there! Just because you’ve sobered up a bit doesn’t mean you can start drinking again!
”Wait, I’ve only had one drink!?”
”Kohina-senpai, one drink is enough!”
Honestly. Who do you think is going to carry you to bed?
”Hey, hey, didn’t I tell everyone not to drink too much?”
As I gather drinks from everyone’s tables, Claire-san approaches me.
”Aqua-kun, everyone’s getting a bit tipsy. Maybe it’s time to wrap things up?”
”Ah… yeah, you’re right.”
I take a light breath in front of Claire-san.
That’s strange. Was that scene at the Cultural Festival really just my misunderstanding?
There’s no way such a kind, pure-looking girl has been using a vibrator for the past three days.
Yeah, yeah, I must have been tired. It has to be a mistake!
”Everyone, you can’t sleep here! And make sure to take a proper bath before bed. Also, don’t fall asleep in the bath!!”
I saw everyone off from the living room to the large bath.
Now then, is anyone left?
”Hey.”
”Whoa!?”
Victoria-sama, you’re still here? Is something the matter?
Feigning ignorance, I barely managed to ask. But then Victoria-sama hugged me.
”Honestly, you should understand. Why do you think I stayed until the end?”
So cute!
I hadn’t forgotten, but as expected of Kanon’s older sister.
I hugged Victoria-sama back.
”All right, that’s enough. Well then, see you in three days… Oh, and about those kotatsu mikan? I’m interested too, so please bring some as a souvenir.”
So cute!!
I watched Victoria-sama’s satisfied expression as she followed everyone to the large bath.
Now then… should I go to the bath too?
I actually thought about joining the others in the large bath, but I decided to refrain—those who drank might get overheated.
”Phew, that was refreshing.”
On my way back from the bath, I heard someone calling me.
”Aqua-sama, Aqua-sama…”
Huh? Isn’t that Emily? What are you doing hiding behind that pillar?
Ah, I see. You’ve come up with some new scheme again.
Let’s hear all about it.
I glanced around to confirm Kohina-senpai wasn’t nearby, then crept up to Emily.
”Hehe, come over here for a second.”
”O-Okay.”
That mischievous grin… no doubt about it! This is definitely going to lead to something erotic!!
My heart raced with anticipation as I followed Emily, who was sneaking away like a thief.
Huh? Is this… Kanon’s room!?
My excitement peaked instantly.
Emily leaned close to my ear and whispered quietly,
”Aqua-sama, please take a peek inside.”
Curious, I peeked through the slightly ajar door.
”Mmm…”
Kanon, wrapped in a sheer baby doll, twisted her body while letting out sultry sounds.
Whoa. Kanon-san, what on earth are you doing!?
With eyesight sharper than 2.0, I strained to see Kanon in the dim light.
”Ah…nn. Aqua…nn.”
Wooooooahhhhhhh!
The fabric of her panties shifted restlessly.
There’s no doubt about it—she’s pleasuring herself with her own fingers!!
I pulled my face away from the crack in the door and looked back at Emily.
”Aqua-sama, are you going to just stand there?”
No way!!
I stiffened at Emily’s words.
For Kanon to be alone in her room, dressed like that, when she usually sleeps with the kids at this hour—this means… she’s waiting to be invited by me!!
If I don’t respond to her feelings, to her wish—what kind of man would I be?
I patted Emily’s shoulder.
Thanks, Emily. I was about to make a big mistake. Now, I’m going.
”Aqua-sama, please take care of Kanon before you leave!”
Leave it to me, Emily.
Slowly, I opened the door and switched on the light. Kanon, lost in self-indulgence and dressed provocatively, noticed me and flushed bright red.
”Ah, Aqua!? Wait, this—this isn’t what it looks like…”
W-What a shameless outfit.
Noticing my gaze, Kanon’s face burned crimson as she used her arms to hide the sweet pink baby doll and sheer panties.
At that moment, the words of Prime Minister Habu, vague yet clear, flashed through my mind:
I won’t be underestimated!
Now the battle was joined—Shirogane Aqua, as husband and protector of his wife’s love and honor, was ready to fight.
After teasing readers for over a month, the long-awaited night war between Shirogane Aqua and Shirogane Kanon had finally begun.
”This is the body of a mother who’s given birth!?”
”My Kanon really is the cutest in the world.”
”So this is the maternal instinct of a woman who’s had children!”
”The milk pressure of mother Kanon’s breasts is increasing… what!?”
Though the situation was clearly against me, Shirogane Aqua—the man who had brought happiness to many women before—would never give up.
The new battle for male pride had begun!!
