Chapter 24 – The Reassuring Feeling of My Family’s Home
Recently, Wataru had been very busy and had taken a break from his main job as a writer, but he had always been an indoor type.
When he was at his family’s home, a place that made him feel comfortable, he could tell that his body, tired from being on the move for some time, wanted to take a break.
He lay down on the bed in his old room upstairs and checked the news on his smartphone.
Lately, he has been spending more time with people, so he watches a lot of sports news.
It seems that baseball players still have work to do, even during the Obon holiday.
He found out that Ryota Endo had hit a home run.
“Ryo-chan is working hard, isn’t he?”
“Are you okay, Master?”
“Yes, thank you. I’m going to take it easy for a while. You know, that Ryo-chan I met the other day, he’s doing well.”
“Really? You look so happy; that’s great.”
Maybe because I was lying limp on the bed, Aire lay down next to me and worried about me.
When we lay side by side, it felt good to be wrapped in a woman’s soft body.
Aire’s body temperature was a bit high.
If the air conditioner wasn’t working well, it would be hot, but right now, the warmth added to the comfort.
“Oh, by the way, if you want, I can give you a massage.”
“Is that okay? Or can you do it?”
“Yes, leave it to me. When we were too young to fight, we used to give massages to the warriors.”
“Really? Then I’ll leave it to you.”
Wataru wondered what it would be like.
He lay face down on the bed with a pillow under his chest and folded hands.
When Aire straddled his thighs, she put her small hands on his waist.
Her skin was so delicate and soft that it was hard to believe it belonged to a warrior who held a sword and fought bravely.
Aire’s lips pouted.
“First, your waist. Your waist is so tight. …Don’t you work too hard at sex every night?”
“Ugh… That’s because you’re too attractive.”
“Nishishi, are you mad at me because I am cute?”
“No… I’m glad that Aire and Mariel are both beautiful.”
“I’m glad to hear you say that. Hey, do you want to do it again tonight?”
The expression on Aire’s face as she closed her eyes and smiled seductively unintentionally stimulated Wataru’s sexual desire.
But after thinking about it for a moment, he rejected the idea.
His grandparents were at home.
If he normally lived with them, it might be inevitable that he would have to create some kind of opportunity, but there’s no need to deliberately let them hear the sound of an affair after only one day.
Still, it feels a little wasteful to turn down an invitation.
“I won’t.”
“Darn it. Then let’s do it again when we get home.”
“Hey, didn’t you want to take care of my waist?”
“Oh, that’s right. How is the strength?”
“Yeah, it feels good. Sorry for doubting you. It really feels good.”
She rhythmically puts her weight on Wataru and massages his muscles with her palms.
Wataru can feel the stiffness in his muscles slowly melting away.
Her movements are not clumsy, but precise and practiced, and she has obviously done this many times before.
“Nishishi. From now on, I’ll take care of your body. Your waist, thighs, calves, and shoulders are all so tight.”
“Ah, I’ve been lacking in exercise. I think my body hasn’t gotten used to moving all of a sudden.”
It felt good to be touched anywhere on his body.
While being touched in this way, he realized that he was much more tired than he had thought.
The trip he had just taken and the nightly appointments he had been having had both taken a huge toll on his energy.
He had developed muscle aches, and although he probably had more strength and endurance than before, he was definitely feeling the effects of fatigue.
However, when Wataru tried new things or went on trips, he felt a sense of exhilaration.
He had even stopped noticing his own fatigue.
The massage continued slowly and rhythmically, with a strength that was neither too strong nor too weak but just right.
A voice came out of his mouth naturally, and the tension in his body began to relax.
“You look so happy to be home.”
“Yeah, it’s so relaxing. How’s Aire’s hometown?”
“Me? My hometown?”
Wataru hears a worried voice behind him and wonders what’s going on.
From what he’s heard so far, Aire is proud of her clan, and as the greatest warrior of the clan, her pride is especially high.
“My family is in the western countries, but it’s a place where there are a lot of skirmishes. There’s always one country or territory fighting another.”
“That sounds like a dangerous place.”
“Because they’re always fighting, there are a lot of warriors and mercenary families like us, and we move around with the battles. So we never stay in the same place for long.”
“Oh, I see. Do you live in tents or something like that?”
“That’s how it is in the field. But when we get calls to defend urban areas, we live in houses.”
It’s hard to imagine what it’s like to live as a mercenary, fighting all the time, but Wataru imagined it must be pretty bleak.
He wondered how difficult it would be to maintain such a carefree attitude in such an environment.
“Yes, it’s a pretty empty place, but I think everyone will welcome anyone who comes.”
There’s a lot to do, but there will be a time when you can relax a little.
At that time, the three of them – Aire, Mariel, and Wataru – will go out together.
While he was thinking about these things, he started to feel sleepy.
“Mmm, mmm, heave-ho, ah, this part is so stiff…”
“Aaaaaa… This place… looks nice…”
“Master looks sleepy. You can sleep here if you like.”
“Yes, thank you…”
Aire’s soft voice and touch brought Wataru’s body and mind to a state of peace.
Soon, Wataru was fast asleep.
○○○
Wataru had slept so soundly that he was surprised.
Aire’s massage technique was the real thing, and he must have been really tired.
Wataru shook his head to wake up and looked at the clock.
It was almost time for dinner.
In the Sakai family, dinner was usually at 7 pm.
Aire slept next to him.
Her expression was relaxed, and she seemed to be sleeping deeply, even more than Wataru.
As usual, she slept next to him, and she still slept with her body snuggled against Wataru’s.
“Hey, Aire, wake up!”
“Unya, muni muni…”
“Aire, wake up!”
“Naa, I’m hungry~”
“Aire, wake up. It’s time for dinner.”
“Dinner? Where’s the food?”
“It will be ready soon, so let’s get up and get ready.”
“Aye!”
As soon as she heard the word “food,” she immediately woke up and sat up.
Wataru smiled ironically at her quick reaction and went downstairs with Aire.
As they walked down the stairs, they could smell the delicious aroma of meat and miso soup.
The familiar smells brought back fond memories of Wataru’s childhood.
As the two looked into the kitchen, they saw Wataru’s grandmother, Mieko, and Mariel in the middle of cooking.
They were chatting happily, and the atmosphere was one of harmony and friendliness.
Mieko was the main cook, and Mariel seemed to be helping out.
“That boy really loves Hamburg steak. Even when he was in a bad mood about something, he would happily eat it if I made it for him.”
“I wish I could cook something he would like even more.”
“That’s right. Shall I teach you the recipe next time?”
“I would be very grateful. I don’t understand anything from the cooking utensils to the recipes, so it would be a great help!”
“It’s okay, I’m so grateful that Wataru-chan has such a good girl. Please don’t give up on him even if he turns out to be a bad boy.”
“No, I’m very grateful for all the help I’ve received.”
“That boy…”
The hamburger steak, carrots, and broccoli were fried in butter, and the miso soup had tofu, fried tofu, and lots of spring onions.
Both were Wataru’s favorites.
Since he left home, he hasn’t had a chance to eat them, and although he thinks they are delicious when he eats them in restaurants, he can’t help but feel that something is missing.
It’s called the taste of home.
His grandparents are still healthy, but they are not immortal.
He thought that if his grandmother died, he would no longer be able to eat it.
It made him happy that Mariel could remember it.
