My love index is at its maximum.

"That would be perfect."

"why?"

"His drunken state is even more charming."

"That's utter nonsense."

Kana Shimamoto pouted, looking reproachful.

Tsukasa Tazaki pulled her into his arms.

"Wait a minute..." Shimamoto Kana kept shaking her head, "I'll take a shower first. The waiter has already prepared hot water so I can wash off the sweat."

"Okay." Tsukasa Tazaki had no choice but to let go of her first and unbutton his shirt himself.

Kana Shimamoto walked into the bathroom, where the large bathtub was still filled with water, only halfway full.

She tested the water temperature with her hand; it was just right.

"Tazaki?"

"what's up?"

"You go first."

As Shimamoto Kana came out of the bathroom, she picked up the clothes that Tazaki Tsukasa had thrown on the floor. Just as she hung the suit on the closet hanger, Tazaki Tsukasa suddenly hugged her tightly from behind.

"ah……"

She shrank her neck as if ticklish and pulled Tsukasa Tazaki's hands from under her armpits to her waist.

"Together?" Tsukasa Tazaki asked, kissing her cheek.

Kana Shimamoto said shyly, "Ugh, you're always trying to bully me."

"Aren't you enjoying it too?" Tsukasa Tazaki moved in front of her, and the two embraced face to face.

"enjoy……"

Kana Shimamoto murmured, her lips pressed against his, but it was just a gurgling sound in her throat, without making a sound.

"The water's ready, let's go together..."

"it is good."

The bathtub was now full of water, and the overflowing hot water dripped onto the non-slip floor tiles, making a gurgling sound.

Kana Shimamoto removed Tsukasa Tazaki's hand, broke free from his embrace, and tiptoed towards the bath.

The bathroom was filled with steam, making it impossible to see even through the high windows; everything was murky and unclear.

She turned off the tap, adjusted the water temperature, took off all her clothes and put them in the laundry basket, then turned around and opened her arms to Tsukasa Tazaki: "Hold me."

Tsukasa Tazaki waded through the puddles and embraced him as they entered the bathtub.

The overflowing hot water surged out as their bodies sank, creating a splashing sound. The two of them, one in front of the other, were deeply immersed in the water, with only their heads above the surface. They stretched out their arms and legs, and when looked down through the water, their limbs appeared very short due to the refraction of light.

Kana Shimamoto leaned against his chest, her eyes half-closed in contentment: "I've been eating a lot lately, have I gained weight?"

"No." Tsukasa Tazaki gently shook his head and slowly rubbed her body with his hands.

Mrs. Tazaki is the kind of woman with a very small frame.

She is about 1 meters tall and weighs a little over 62 kilograms. When she is dressed, she has a very good figure and looks slender but not thin. However, when she takes off her clothes, because of her small frame, she looks very plump, but plump in just the right way and not bloated at all.

This is the best thing that Tsukasa Tazaki likes.

Although he also likes the tall and slender Hanami-nee, his wife, who is a little smaller and more voluptuous, is slightly better in this respect.

"You just like my body, don't you?" Shimamoto Kana scooped up hot water with both hands and splashed it back at her. "I remember the first time I gave myself to you, in that little rented room in Nishi-Shinjuku, you said that too."

Tsukasa Tazaki smiled but didn't reply.

That night, he held Shimamoto Kana's warm body tightly, murmuring repeatedly how charming Shimamoto-sensei was.

Kana Shimamoto finds the memory of that time amusing.

She really wanted to ask him if he would let her go if she were an ugly, fat woman, but then she thought that she was so beautiful and charming, why should she worry about things that didn't exist, so she stopped thinking about it.

After thinking it through, I felt a sense of relief.

Although she still gets a little sentimental sometimes, hoping he would treat her better, things are fine as they are now. The two of them are living together, and gradually, they are truly merging together.

Perhaps it's because of her age and experience, but compared to the nominal title of wife, she is more satisfied with the real feeling of being together every day and night.

Thinking about these things, Shimamoto Kana leaned against his strong chest, a happy smile on her lips.

"Have you rested well?" Tsukasa Tazaki asked.

Kana Shimamoto gave a soft "hmm," a lazy sound coming from her nose.

The skin, soaked in hot water, became even more rosy.

They soaked in the bath for almost an hour, and only got out of the bathtub when the water had cooled down.

In the changing room connected to the bathtub, there was a large mirror reflecting the upper body, with lotion and a hairbrush in front of it. Shimamoto Kana put on a lace-trimmed bodysuit and a long white slip in front of the mirror.

This was Tazaki Tsukasa's preference, and she had prepared for it long ago.

I should bring pajamas when I'm going out for the night, but pajamas are only for sleeping. The white long slip dress I brought tonight is perfect for my petite frame, and Tsukasa Tazaki likes it very much.

She put on her long slip, combed her hair in front of the mirror, and wiped the beads of sweat from her forehead with a towel. Her face in the mirror was rosy from just having showered; although she was twenty-eight, her face looked very young even without makeup.

Tsukasa Tazaki was behind her, scrutinizing her closely.

The lady's face was particularly pleasing; she had a straight, delicate nose and full, rosy lips. Because of her nearsightedness, her eyes always had a slightly dreamy look. This might be a flaw on others, but her own pupils were naturally deep and complex, and this dreamy look made her even more attractive.

Feeling uncomfortable under his scrutiny, as if he were examining a machine, Shimamoto Kana couldn't help but retort, "What's so attractive about a face like that? Go find someone prettier."

When she complained like that, Tsukasa Tazaki laughed and put his arm around her shoulder: "What are you talking about? There are certainly prettier women, but how can they compare to your wife?"

"wack!"

"You know, my wife has a face that men find very attractive? In short, she has an approachable face."

"So that's why you took the opportunity to do something reckless, right?"

"Yes."

"cheeky!"

"How could I bring you home without being shameless?" Tsukasa Tazaki grabbed her and carried her to the double bed.

Kana Shimamoto wrapped her arms around his neck and said reproachfully, "Can't you just lie and praise me as the most beautiful woman in the world?"

His wife felt a slight sadness when he explicitly stated that other women were prettier. But when he said he was pleasing to men, it felt somewhat unsettling.

"Don't get hung up on something as superficial as being pretty," Tsukasa Tazaki said seriously. "You have qualities that are far more captivating than mere beauty. Do I need to tell you?"

"What is it?" Shimamoto Kana became agitated.

"sweet."

"sweet?"

"Yes, Mrs. Tazaki is the sweetest woman in the world."

Kana Shimamoto shook her head slightly, indicating her confusion.

They couldn't grasp the meaning at all.

"Sweetness" is a taste, yet it's used in physical expression, which she finds hard to understand.

“For example, right now,” Tazaki Tsukasa said, inhaling her fragrance, “the lady was already in a drunken state, and after this bath, she appears even more charming and alluring, with a sweet quality.”

"anything else?"

"Whether it's her face or her body, my wife is petite and graceful, and she's gained a little weight, which gives her a sweet and charming appearance."

"..." Shimamoto Kana blinked in confusion.

She suspected that Tsukasa Tazaki was indirectly implying that she was overweight.

Are you listening?

"Oh, yes, you said..."

"If you still don't understand, look at your own skin."

Following his instructions, Shimamoto Kana raised an arm, trying to figure out what "sweet" meant, looking at her fair and rosy skin after her bath.

It felt like I could understand what he was saying...

Kana Shimamoto got out of bed again, went to the mirror, and looked at herself in the mirror.

Her body and face give off a very pleasant feeling. From the collarbone peeking out from the shoulder buttons of her long petticoat to the pink ears revealed by her hair tied up at the back of her head, her curves are very beautiful, exuding a "sweet" charm everywhere.

She didn't know if it was because she had just taken a bath, but her face was rosy, and she felt that her body was more supple, comfortable, and joyful than before, with a light and airy feeling.

"Do you understand?" Tsukasa Tazaki walked up behind her again and hugged her from behind.

Kana Shimamoto nodded: "As expected, you really know how to please women. I'm so sweet and dizzy right now, I'd probably be willing to do anything you ask tonight, no matter how outrageous it is."

"Then I won't be polite."

Tazaki Tsukasa carried her into the inner room, and Shimamoto Kana's eyes revealed the most captivating charm and passion of a woman.

The double bed was covered with blankets, and under the pale red light, the white embossed star patterned sheets and two pillows were visible.

Chapter 284 School Trip (14)

The last day of the school trip.

Today is a day for everyone to go their own way. All students are not restricted by class or group and are free to choose to be with their club partners or boyfriends/girlfriends. The scope of activities is not limited to Kyoto City. If you want to take the opportunity, you can also go to places like Osaka and Nara.

And Tsukasa Tazaki is going to her grandmother's house today.

I haven't seen the old man for half a year, and I miss him quite a bit.

After getting up, washing his face and brushing his teeth, carefully tidying his appearance, and putting on the clothes he had carelessly tossed on the floor the night before, Tsukasa Tazaki returned to the bedside and reached out to pinch Kana Shimamoto's nose.

"Don't move..."

Shimamoto Kana grumbled in dissatisfaction, turned over, and continued sleeping.

"I'm going back to the hotel first..." Tsukasa Tazaki snuggled into the covers and wrapped his arms around her waist from behind. The faint morning light streaming through the high-rise glass windows illuminated her delicate skin, making it appear translucent.
