Megumai put a lot of thought into designing the house, seriously referencing the interior design styles of various countries in the Shinobi world.
The twelve bedrooms were all unique inside.
Karin looked around, dazzled, amazed by the abundance and superiority of Kumogakure's material life, which Kusagakure could not even begin to compare with.
She had never even seen such elegantly decorated rooms, filled with expensive furniture, before. She felt a kind of floating unreality as her feet touched the polished floor.
Finally, after much deliberation, she chose the bedroom in the four o'clock direction.
This room was the closest to Tojo-kun's, which would make visiting easier in the future.
After selecting the bedroom, Seiya took Karin upstairs for a tour, allowing her to get a general understanding of the house.
The third floor was the library, full of neatly arranged bookshelves stocked with medical books and various miscellaneous books.
The fourth floor was the same as the second, with twelve bedrooms arranged along the circumference.
The fifth floor...
The sixth floor...
After a quick tour, Seiya led Karin to carry brand-new bedding from the storage room on the top floor down to the second floor.
"This is your home now, too. Don't be shy. If you have any questions or concerns, you can always bring them up," Seiya smiled at Karin, who was helping him organize Mikoto's bedroom.
"Mm! I will!"
Karin pursed her lips and answered earnestly.
Seiya nodded slightly, "You should bathe and rest now. I'm going downstairs to check on Mom and Mikoto-neesan. It's been over half an hour, and they still haven't come upstairs."
"Mm, bye-bye, Tojo-kun!"
Karin waved, watching Seiya's figure disappear around the staircase corner.
Then, she stood quietly for a moment, slowly looked around the entire spacious second floor, took a deep breath, held it for a while, then raised her head and slowly exhaled.
After that, she walked lightly towards her own room.
Starting today, this is home.
Seiya went downstairs to the living room, only to find the dining table empty.
Where are they?
Seiya frowned.
He scanned the living room and then checked the kitchen, finding nothing.
Then, he searched the entire first floor, still without finding anyone.
If they're not in the house, they must be in the courtyard.
In this situation, Mom could only have taken Mikoto-neesan to one place.
Seiya mused, pushed open the door, and walked into the courtyard, heading straight for the hot spring bath in the backyard.
Before taking a few steps, he saw a light in the distance.
The shoji (sliding paper screens) surrounding the bath had been pulled open just enough for one person.
"Mom."
"Mom?"
"Mom!"
Seiya called out a few times from a distance but received no reply.
Could they have gotten drunk and passed out in the bath!
Seiya was shocked and quickly rushed over.
However, before he could run a few steps, a blurred silhouette appeared on the shoji.
Immediately after, Uchiha Mikoto, simply wrapped in a pure white bath towel, walked out unsteadily, swaying back and forth.
A few stray drops of hot spring water on the ends of her light blue hair trembled slightly, slowly dripping down, splashing onto the wooden floor, wetting her snowy white feet.
Seiya was startled.
He kept calling "Mom" while continuing to rush toward the bath.
"Mom is here!"
Megumai responded, appearing behind Uchiha Mikoto.
"Why are you calling for Mom so anxiously?"
"I was worried you and Mikoto-neesan drank too much and drowned in the bath."
"Good boy."
Megumai smiled sweetly. She then opened the shoji a bit more and said gently, "Son, you've had a long day. Come in and soak for a while to relax, then go upstairs and get a good night's sleep."
"Got it, Mom!" Feeling as if he had been granted amnesty, Seiya quickly agreed. He lowered his head and swiftly leaped into the bath.
The plop of water splashing sounded behind him.
Megumai couldn't help but shake her head and laugh, gently supporting Uchiha Mikoto as they slowly walked away.
After a few steps, she suddenly stopped and asked loudly, "Son, which room on the second floor is your Mikoto-neesan staying in?"
"The one at the five o'clock direction!"
...
The next day, the sun rose as usual.
Uchiha Mikoto opened her blurry eyes, staring at the ceiling. It took her a while to remember where she was.
It's been so long since I've had such a peaceful sleep!
Uchiha Mikoto stretched happily.
She rubbed her slightly aching head and slowly sat up.
The white silk quilt slid smoothly off her body, bringing a cool, slick sensation.
Uchiha Mikoto's delicate body trembled. She quickly looked down at herself-she was naked!
I slept in the nude last night!
Who took off my clothes?
Uchiha Mikoto jumped off the bed with a hiss, tossing the quilt aside.
She carefully checked the sheets and then checked her body, ultimately finding that she was clean and completely normal.
It was a false alarm. Uchiha Mikoto breathed a sigh of relief.
She then laughed ruefully, wondering why she was so worried.
This house only had one male, Seiya.
Setting aside whether he was capable of such an act right now, even if he was and did violate her, so what?
Uchiha Mikoto, after the initial shock, realized she didn't feel much resistance.
My life belongs to Tojo-kun already. Do I need to care what he does to me?
Whatever he does is only appropriate.
Uchiha Mikoto sorted out her thoughts.
After washing up, she put on the brand-new clothes laid out on the bedside table and walked out of the room.
The twelve rooms arranged in a circle immediately came into view.
Uchiha Mikoto stared blankly for a moment, then slowly walked down the stairs.
In the living room, Karin was sitting on the sofa, intently watching television.
There was no one else.
Hearing the footsteps, Karin turned her head and smiled, "Mikoto-neesan, you're awake. Breakfast is on the table. You should eat quickly."
"Mm."
Uchiha Mikoto lightly nodded her chin and asked, "Where are Tojo-kun and his mother?"
Karin replied, "Tojo-kun and Aunt Megumai went upstairs after eating breakfast."
Uchiha Mikoto nodded thoughtfully. She then sat down at the dining table, picked up the glass, and took a shallow sip of warm milk.
Outside the French windows, the sun was shining brightly.
