My love index is at its maximum.

"Don't touch my ears..."

Tsukasa Tazaki ignored her, pinned her hands behind her back, and continued to gently touch her earlobes with her teeth.

Hoshino Hanami closed her eyes tightly, her whole body trembling slightly as if an electric current had passed through her, and she lost all strength to resist.

After being teased for a while, she opened her eyes and pleaded in a soft voice, "I was wrong..."

"Will you dare to do it again?"

"Don't dare..."

"You should call him Tazaki-nii-chan."

Hoshino Hanami felt weak all over, with fine beads of sweat appearing on her nose and forehead. Her eyes were misty, and even her long eyelashes were slightly damp.

"Brother Tazaki..." She buried her face in Tsukasa Tazaki's chest, nuzzling him as she said, "Little sister Hanami knows she was wrong, please forgive me this time, okay?"

A woman in her twenties acting so innocent and naive, I really don't know what to say about her.

In short, it's incredibly cute!

Tazaki Tsukasa released her with satisfaction.

The two got up and straightened their disheveled clothes.

Hoshino Hanami pinched the soft flesh on Tazaki Tsukasa's waist and complained, "My ears are still itchy, can you help me clean them?"

Where can I get an ear pick?

"There's a lounge."

"I'd be happy to serve Hanami-neechan."

Tazaki Tsukasa smiled smugly, helping Hoshino Hanami, whose legs were still a little weak, and the two walked into the gym's lounge together.

……

"Sister, where are you?"

Hoshino Shika, who had just finished walking her dog, appeared at the gym entrance, looked around, and didn't see anyone.

"Sister, are you inside?"

She called out again, then stepped inside, looking around as she murmured, "Strange, that person just said they saw my sister go to the gym."

As they passed the lounge, Hoshino Shikami's eyes froze for a moment.

Through the frosted glass wall, you can vaguely see the shadows of two people.

Could it be...? The younger sister shuddered and quickly pressed her ear against the glass in fright.

"I'm a little scared..."

This is my dear sister's voice.

"What are you afraid of?"

That's the voice of that bastard, Tsukasa Tazaki.

“I’ve always done this by myself before; I’ve never asked anyone for help.”

"Oh, I've never tried helping others before, but it's okay, I'll just be gentle."

What are these two people doing?

Something doesn't feel right... Hoshino Shikami bit her hand in confusion.

"Alright, I'll leave it all to you."

"Relax, don't look, close your eyes. Yes, that's it, I'm going to start."

"Hiss... Be careful."

"Don't be so jumpy..."

"We've never tried this before."

"I'll keep things in check, so don't worry."

clam?

Hoshino Shika was completely dumbfounded.

"Are you done yet...?"

"almost."

"Hmm...unexpectedly comfortable."

Young Hoshino Shikami temporarily stopped thinking.

Her lips were taut, and her body swayed slightly. After a moment of stunned silence, she turned around with difficulty, like a gear without lubrication, and walked dejectedly out of the gym.

The sounds could still be heard coming from the gym behind me.

"Turn your head and switch to the other ear."

"Tazaki-nii-san is amazing!"

However, the younger sister didn't hear any of these words.

It was already evening when I left the gym.

A thin mist shrouded the world, obscuring the sky. There was no wind, and a hint of rain was about to fall. The lush oak branches drooped listlessly, motionless as if deep in thought.

The conversation from earlier kept replaying in Hoshino Shikami's mind.

The more I thought about it, the tighter my heart felt, as if it were being gripped tightly by someone.

Light and sound were both present, but the whole world turned gray in her eyes, losing all meaning of existence.

I ran into my dad while walking on the path leading to the backyard.

"What's wrong with Shikami?" Hoshino Takeo looked at his youngest daughter, whose eyes were lifeless, with concern. He stepped forward and asked, "Did someone bully you? Tell Daddy, and Daddy will go and kill their whole family right now!"

"Dad, you're going to be a grandfather!"

The little girl pouted, and tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.

?

To be a grandfather?

So fast?

The elderly Hoshino Takeo stood there dumbfounded.

The sun was setting without wind, and the middle-aged man's figure stood alone.

A flock of birds landed on an oak branch, then quickly flew away again. The branch swayed gently a few times, then quickly returned to stillness, as if nothing had happened.

Chapter 109 The sense of security a widow craves.

Around 6 p.m., it started to drizzle in Tokyo.

After taking a shower and changing into a suit, Tsukasa Tazaki went to the convenience store at the alley entrance with an umbrella, waiting for the proprietress to come and take him to the banquet.

It was still early, so he bought a carton of milk and a bag of sweet potato cakes, and stood at the door eating them while waiting.

The sky was completely obscured by dark clouds, as if wrapped in several layers of gray film, from which rain poured down incessantly. The bustling Higashi-Shinjuku was soaked, and the flashing neon lights appeared even more hazy.

Before long, the fine, needle-like drizzle turned into a blurry, transparent curtain of rain, soaking the paving stones, the base of the walls, and the vehicles. Nothing could stop it, nothing could avoid it; Heaven was quite fair.

After finishing his food, Tsukasa Tazaki raised his hand to check the time; the blue dial showed 7:20.

Still putting on makeup...?

Thinking this, he heard the sound of high heels and turned to look. Sachiko Tono smiled gently at him. It was a smile with a lingering warmth, one that could put the viewer at ease.

"Sorry, I'm going to have drinks today, so I didn't drive."

The proprietress folded her umbrella, came to his side, and asked apologetically, "Is Tazaki-kun getting a little impatient?"

"I just arrived not long ago myself," Tazaki Tsukasa said with a smile, seemingly in a good mood.

"I can rest assured that."

Sachiko Tono seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, gently patting her chest. Her tight lemon-yellow bodycon skirt bounced a few times, and the sounds of passersby bumping into lampposts echoed around her.

"How do we get there?" Tsukasa Tazaki asked, observing the widows present for the day.

The lemon-yellow bodycon skirt reached mid-thigh, and she wore pristine white stockings, highlighting her alluring leg shape. On her feet were spotless white high heels with very high heels.

Her makeup was just right, and she wore a pair of sparkling metal earrings. She looked very capable and elegant, exuding a mature and charming aura.

She is definitely a beautiful older sister who would make any man fantasize.

"Let's go, let's take a taxi."

Sachiko Tono smiled and took his arm, and the two got into a Crown taxi and drove towards Aoyama.

Sinking comfortably into the soft embrace of Sachiko and the plush chair, Tsukasa Tazaki let out a sigh of relief. Rainwater dampened the glass, blurring the view outside.

Streetlights spaced at equal intervals form a continuous strip of light, chasing each other with the taillights of passing cars, creating a dynamic interplay of light and shadow.

Sachiko Tono turned her head, watching the dim light greedily brush against his profile. His increasingly strong body was encased in a perfectly pressed, lightweight blue-gray suit, paired with a light gray shirt and a dark gray tie.

Flawless attire, flawless youth.

As she looked at him, Sachiko Tono tightened her grip slightly and chuckled, saying, "In just two months, Tazaki-kun seems to have grown up a lot."

“I think so too.” Tsukasa Tazaki’s gaze shifted to her, where the hem of her tight dress clung tightly to her thighs, and the edges of her stockings occasionally shimmered with light—that was the metal rings of the stockings.

There is a gap between the edge of the stockings and the hem of the skirt that exposes some skin. It is usually not noticeable when standing, but it can be clearly seen when sitting down and the buttocks are taut.

A small section of fair and plump thigh reminded Tazaki Tsukasa of the phrase "smooth as pearls and jade".

The banquet was held at an Italian restaurant on the top floor of a hotel in Qingshan. The restaurant was nicely decorated and filled with the dazzling light of crystal chandeliers.

Upon entering the hall, it felt somewhat empty with only a few guests present. The head waiter, dressed in uniform, was carefully checking the arrangement of napkins, cutlery, and plates on each table.

As the light streamed down, you could see that the brown wooden floor underfoot was spotless, the flowers in the vases were fresh, and there were many abstract oil paintings hanging on the inner wall.

The air conditioner keeps the air fresh, creating an impeccable environment perfect for a date.

Tsukasa Tazaki found a table closest to the window and sat down, with Sachiko Tono sitting down opposite him right after.
