When Sakuna heard that Hayato and her daughters were going out, she felt pure bliss and a little bit of jealousy. Despite the fact that she’s able to express her feelings for her daughters as a mother, alas, she also felt an ugly jealousy because of her feelings for Hayato as a woman. However, the jealousy was not that great, and the feeling of bliss was still greater in Sakuna.

But more than that, she was so happy with the change that it blew away all such jealousy.

“Yes, I do feel at ease.”

Sakuna felt happy when she heard Hayato’s honest words in her heart, when he too embraced her with his arm around her back. She was just happy that he no longer held back from receiving her love and he accepted Arisa and Aina, and that he wanted her warmth of a mother.

“… Ahh… Hayato-kun.”

While washing the dishes, Sakuna kept glancing at Hayato, who was chatting with her daughters. Contrary to his adorable looking way of embracing, the strength of his arm around her back was that of a man.

“…”

Sakuna reminisces that moment every time she sees him.

She longed for him to depend on her, imagining him embracing her as he did back then. 

Ever since her husband passed away, Sakuna had been keeping part of her femininity sealed away in the depths of her heart, and yet when she is alone with Hayato, as she was just now, she can’t resist the temptation to reveal her feminine side.

“Aside from Arisa and Aina…”

Hayato, who was talking happily with them, noticed Sakuna. He then smiled at her, and that was enough to make Sakuna’s heart flutter noisily. Sakuna smiled as well and shifted her attention to the dishes at hand.

“I really want to…”

-I want to serve him, to receive everything from him, to pamper him!

All sorts of desires flashed through her mind and then disappeared. 

Since Hayato knows how Sakuna feels, Sakuna herself had no intention of hiding her feelings from him in the future. Like Arisa and Aina, Sakuna has decided to love Hayato with everything she has.

“Sakuna-san? Let me help you.”

“Eh? It’s okay, it’ll be over soon.”

“No, no, it’s not good for me to just watch.”

With that said, Hayato stood next to her to help.

Hayato had a point, and even if this was normal, it made Sakuna happy to hear his care and concern… But more than that, her heart was flooded with joy just because it was Hayato who was helping her.

“Hayato-kun, would you like to take a bath with me today?”

“… Eh?

The way he was startled out of his wits was so cute that it made her chuckle. 

It wasn’t enough to just watch him over the futon, it wasn’t enough to just embrace him in her arms… her heart was crying to feel him with her whole body!

Sakuna, who had given birth to two children, was currently a single woman, so there was no way she would let Hayato, who made her remember the woman that she had long forgotten, go away. Sakuna’s desire may be stronger than that of Arisa and Aina. And, in common with these women, Sakuna never did anything to hurt Hayato, and consistently wanted to embrace him with a love that was too big even for her to bear.

“Hayato-kun. I want to support you and in every way possible, to spoil you.”

She hummed the same words she had told him in the morning.

“I’m looking forward to the night… ♪”

The expression on Sakuna’s face as she did so had the power to charm any man.

Sakuna was unaware of it, but she was always exuding an abundance of charm.

In fact, she was so attractive to men that many of them can’t stop staring at her when she walks around the streets. It does not matter whether they are single, have a wife, or children, she can attract every man’s attention like a succubus in a fairy tale.

“Um… please?”

“Yes!”

She gave him an endearing smile like Arisa’s and Aina’s, but we must not forget, she is the one who gave birth to Arisa and Aina, and she is also the one who has all the characteristics inherited by them! And the fact that Sakuna can express her love for him is proof that Hayato has already fallen for her overwhelming love… Now, it’s too late for him to escape.

[Hayato’s POV]

After speaking to Arisa and Aina, who were cooking dinner for us, I then came to the bath.

“Now Hayato-kun. Let’s take off our clothes♪”

“… Ai.”

Huh, that’s strange.

I promised Sakuna-san that I would take a bath with her. But what is this atmosphere of “I will take care of everything for you”?

I took off my clothes as she told me to do, and right in front of my eyes, Sakuna-san started taking off her clothes too.

“And that’s done… Fufu, You don’t have to look at me that hard, I won’t run away.”

“…”

I couldn’t help but admire her.

By undoing the buttons on her top, her oversized b*****s, which had been tucked away inside, swayed as she breathed. The black lace underwear, worn by a person like Sakuna-san, had a tremendous destructive power.(E/N: Told ya she’s the number one waifu in this novel, too bad I already claimed her, MUWAHAHAHA.)

“That… I’m going in first!”

Not being able to resist anymore, I ran into the bathroom first… No, that’s not what I meant.

I wonder if I made a mistake of being driven into a corner instead of running away. Arisa and Aina even told me to have fun instead of stopping me. 

Ukaaaahhh!

“But even so…”

Sakuna-san’s body was so full of adult charms that it made me wonder if she really is a person with two high school daughters. Her style is even better than her two daughters, not to mention she has a firm waist and no unnecessary fat on her body.

“…Will I be okay?”

Sakuna-san is indeed a mother of two, but the atmosphere she wears is a perfect blend of A motherly and youthful feminine. If I let my guard down, I could be spoiled instantly, and above all, I’m afraid of my instinct to seek out Sakuna-san.

“Sorry to keep you waiting…?”

“Please come in.”

“Oh, so that’s it… Hayato-kun, please look this way.”

It was still hard for me to turn over even though I was told to do so…

Sakuna-san just chuckled at me without getting angry when I didn’t move my body.

I

felt like a kid afraid to turn around.

“Then let’s do it this way?”

“!!”

Saying so, her arms reached out from the side of my head and crossed over to hold my body. She then hugged me tightly from behind, and I felt an out-of-this-world elasticity against my back.

Sakuna-san’s breath in my ear and the sweet scent filling the bathroom seemed to numb my brain. I wanted to escape from here right away, but for some reason I stayed… she then whispered in ear with her sweet breath,

“Hayato-kun, I will accept everything from you.I certainly have the desire to do many things with you, but today I just want to spoil you. I want to be your mother first.”

“Like a mother…?”

“Yes. But of course, I can’t be your real mother… because Hayato-kun’s only mother, no matter how much I try, will always be Kasumi-san.”

Saying so, Sakuna-san continued her words.

“But I am here now. Beside you so you can touch me.”

I turned my face a little to the side and saw Sakuna-san’s beautiful eyes staring at me from a very close distance. Sakuna-san’s smile is as reassuring as always.

“I’ll say it again. Hayato-kun, you should let yourself be more pampered. Arisa, Aina, and I will be by your side from now on, so there should be many opportunities for you to do so… Please don’t hesitate, okay? I love you, Hayato-kun.”(E/N: H**l yeah!)

“… Ah~”

After getting out of the bath, I was zoning out in the living room.

Sakuna-san was still in the bath, and I was the first one out of the tub. Apart from Arisa who was making hamburgers, Aina, who had brewed a cup of barley tea and brought it to me, and giggled beside me.

“How was it? Mom is amazing, isn’t she?”

“… Yeah.”

That was all I could say in response to Aina’s words.

Time passed, and at dinner time, when the four of us were sitting around the table, Aina then made a suggestion.

“Hey, everyone, don’t you want to go on a trip with the four of us? Maybe to a hot spring?”

“That sounds nice… Four of us in a mixed bath?”

“How about you, Hayato-kun?”

“Eeh?”

I couldn’t give them a reply, I mean, there’s been so much going on since yesterday that my brain capacity was a little too full.

But I do know one thing— Arisa, Aina, and Sakuna-san seem to be trying to drag me into the swamp to no end. Or it’s as if they are trying to entangle me with a thin yet strong thread…

I don’t think I can escape even if I try, though I have no intention of running away.

Thus I felt myself giving in to the kindness of the girls.

[Postscript]

At first I was going to leave out all this familiarity from the beginning, and write while explaining that this is how it happened, but now I think that it was the right decision to write it from the start.
