Chapter 118: The Intuition and Stirring Feelings of a Sports Girl
Companionship is the best proof, and after clearing things up, Renako became even more natural with Hitori and the others.
After all, they were now not just friends but close sisters, far surpassing the typical senior-junior relationship.
Meanwhile, Ren remained the same as always—playing games together in the evenings, spending lunch breaks together, and going on dates after school whenever they felt like it.
Everyone had their own things to do, and their schedules aligned perfectly, so life continued as usual.
"I never thought there would be no impact at all..."
A week had passed since the confession. Seeing Hitori and the others head off for band activities after school, Renako once again secured Ren's private time after class.
"Right? Anywhere you want to go today?"
It was a shame Renako had little interest in musical instruments; otherwise, Ren could have formed an all-pink-haired girls' band.
Karen was already a qualified lead vocalist, and Yuno and Satou were no exception—they had pushed themselves to a professional level just to help him record songs. Their daily time was either spent with him or in training.
This meant that even if Ren didn't accompany them after school, they wouldn't be idle.
"Yes, Senpai, how about going to the internet cafe again?"
Renako smiled cheerfully and proactively wrapped her arm around Ren's. She had no particular interest in fashion or dressing up, nor did she crave a glamorous social life. After gaining friends and a lover, what she loved most was still doing the things she enjoyed.
Like gaming—her passion for it hadn't changed even after starting a relationship.
"Sure."
And so, Ren and Renako returned to the internet cafe and booked a private room.
"What do you want to play today?"
Once seated, Ren turned to Renako beside him. Since she had suggested coming to the internet cafe this time, she must already have something in mind.
"Senpai, wait a moment."
Instead of revealing her plans, Renako stood up and inspected the room. After confirming there were no cameras and pressing her ear against the wall to ensure no sounds from other rooms, she returned to Ren's side, her cheeks slightly flushed.
Today, she intended to try out some things she had learned. With Ren having so many partners, although he likely wouldn't play favorites, some things had to be earned through initiative.
Whether it was novelty or excitement, Renako had Ren pick a game to play while she watched from the side. Then, she quietly sat on the floor, giving him a playful glare before burying her head in her task.
The harem dynamics, while not overly stressful, weren't entirely absent either. This was something Renako had considered, especially since she was the only one who brought Ren to internet cafes.
It was a public space with a private atmosphere—a unique dating spot. Though they couldn't freely express their affection, they could still whisper sweet nothings and enjoy each other's closeness.
Yuno had done this kind of thing long ago, but there was one area where she couldn't compare to Renako: her figure.
Despite being a delicate high school girl, Renako's body defied expectations, resembling that of a woman in her thirties—a sensation that was entirely different.
"Ahem~!"
Much later, Renako sat up covering her mouth, struggled to pick up a drink to rinse her mouth, and after swallowing it all, tugged at Ren's sleeve with a soft, charming expression:
"Senpai, I want to go home~"
"Aren't you going to take responsibility? The game has only just begun."
Ren watched as Renako willingly rinsed her mouth with the drink and swallowed it all—this was no less intimate than opening her mouth for him to inspect afterward. He had intended to continue the game, but Renako said she wanted to go home.
"I asked Haruna to come home later, and Mom and Dad won't be back until ten tonight~"
Renako explained with a flushed face. Though they could have rented a room at a love hotel, she thought bringing Ren home would be better, as the atmosphere could evoke an extraordinary feeling.
Even though she had instructed Haruna to return late and knew her parents wouldn't be home until ten, there was no guarantee something unexpected wouldn't happen.
Besides, she felt more at ease and could let loose more at home. Also, Haruna had recommended a few new sets of lingerie to her—embarrassing, but she claimed Ren would absolutely love them. She only dared to wear such things at home.
Having said all this, Ren understood Renako's intentions. If the conditions were right, going to her house wasn't out of the question.
They left the internet cafe and got back into the car. Renako, cheeks flushed, tugged at her school skirt and asked Ren for tissues, worried the seat would get wet. Her plump legs were glistening with sweat and flushed pink, as if she had just finished exercising.
Ren dismissed the concern about the seat getting wet and drove to Renako's house as quickly as possible. In her small room, they admired the new lingerie, adorned with lace trims that perfectly complemented her fair skin.
No one would disturb them before ten, and Yuno's distinctive ringtone didn't break the silence. Ren and Renako enjoyed themselves to the fullest.
At nine in the evening, Ren glanced at the time and stopped. He carried the limp Renako, helped her bathe, changed the bedsheets, and waited until she was sound asleep before taking a shower himself.
This took nearly an hour.
The Amaori couple would finish work at ten and return home around ten-thirty. Ren still had time, so he wasn't in a hurry and leisurely enjoyed his shower.
However, while he was bathing, the faint sound of the front door opening reached the bathroom, followed by light footsteps. Only one person approached the bathroom door and knocked.
"Sis, are you showering? Remember to save some hot water for me."
It was Haruna, who had been sent away by Renako and had politely stayed out until almost ten before returning home.
"It's me. Renako is resting."
Ren had no choice but to explain.
"Huh? Brother-in-law?!"
Haruna seemed surprised that Ren was still there, her tone clearly taken aback.
When Ren finished his shower and stepped out of the bathroom wrapped in a towel, Haruna, as one of the household members, sat somewhat awkwardly on the sofa. She glanced at him, fresh from the bath and exuding a certain aura.
Ren, exuding a refreshing aura, blushed slightly and lowered his head. Ekds
Ren only had a towel wrapped around him—likely belonging to Renako—but that wasn't the important part. What mattered was that Haruna couldn't help but let her imagination run wild.
Her sister had mentioned coming home later and bringing Ren along to hang out. Running into him fresh out of the bath upon returning home, Haruna was convinced a fierce "battle" must have taken place while she was away.
Influenced by these thoughts, Haruna found herself staring at Ren's exposed legs, unable to suppress further associations.
Haruna, being a naturally athletic girl, could estimate Ren's explosive power just by observing the visible muscle definition on his body.
Seems like my sister's going to be really happy, she mused.
Ren didn't intend to take advantage of his sister-in-law. After returning to Renako's room to get dressed, he came back downstairs, exchanged a few more words with Haruna, and then left.
It wasn't that he didn't want to chat longer with Haruna—she was just too flustered to keep the conversation going.
After Ren left, Haruna quietly went upstairs and entered Renako's room. Ren had already opened the window to air out the room, so Haruna didn't notice any unusual odors.
However, physical evidence wasn't so easily erased. Faint bite marks were still visible on Renako's shoulders, uncovered by her pajamas, proof of the recent intensity.
Noticing the freshly laundered clothes drying on the balcony, Haruna—who had taken a shower after checking on Renako—realized with mixed feelings that the outfit she had picked out for her sister had indeed been put to use. Blushing with embarrassment, she retreated to her own room, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. Every time she closed her eyes, the image of Ren fresh from the bath, wrapped only in a towel, resurfaced in her mind…
