With me sitting on the same sofa as yesterday while Auntie Yayoi was at the side, slightly leaning towards me with her hands grasping my shoulders. Although my face probably still sported a frozen smile, I had my back resting on the couch. Normally, our position shouldn’t imply anything improper. That''s why Auntie Yayoi tried passing it off as if she’s reminding me to treasure her only daughter, Mina. The grip of her hands loosened and she began tapping me instead whileughing awkwardly.


    I had the urge to say, ‘If youugh like that, it will be more suspicious, you know?’ but there’s not enough time to do so. Mina’s eyes already alternated between us as she approached us. Dropping her bag to one empty sofa, the slit of her beautiful eyes narrowed to a slit as her focus graduallynded on me. Most likely, she’s waiting for my version of the story.


    Should I tell her how we’ve been discussing her cuteness and that it ended up with her mother trying to prove that she’s also an adorable creature back in the day? Then it got to the point that her mother was regretting telling me those what she deemed embarrassing stories?


    I vowed to be honest to my girls so… that’s the correct choice for me.


    However, since her back was turned to Mina, Auntie Yayoi’s eyes also narrowed to a slit, almost the same as her daughter’s. The cold glint that’s inexplicably shining through it, had it been an invisible de, would already cut me to pieces just to silence me.


    To think that I would be torn between mother and daughter like this… there’s no one to me but that dangerous urge to tease.


    Ignoring Auntie Yayoi’s killing intent, I faced Mina’s inquiring eyes, wryly smiled, shook my head and shrugged my shoulders. In a way, that’s my silent answer which could be tranted into partly giving up and telling her that it was as Auntie Yayoi said.


    I might be teasing her but I could confidently say that I wasn’t flirting with Auntie Yayoi. Besides, I’ve only met her mother yesterday, there’s no reason for me to flirt with her. In the first ce, Mina’s the one I came here for.


    Alright, I was kinda lying about that part of Mina being the only reason. Nheless, I still stood on the fact that I wasn’t flirting with her mother. She only found us in a rather questionable position.


    Either way, if she didn’t appear at that moment, it might turn for the worse because that urge would continue topel me to tease this… adorable middle-aged woman. That’s why it’s still fortunate.


    As seconds passed wherein Mina weighed in our answers, the girl eventually epted it. However, she moved over and grabbed my wrist, pulling me up from my seat and away from her mother.


    Although faint, I sensed a hint of jealousy at that sudden action of Mina. Looking at her side frame, her lips were pursed and as she probably felt conflicted at her mother.


    And at the same time, Auntie Yayoi made a guilty gesture by lowering her head.


    Auntie, please don’t do that!


    Wait… Isn’t this devolving to a worse situation? This was my fault. If I didn’t clear this up, it might create a rift between this mother and daughter pair.


    Ah no. Considering she’s just worried about her mother’s well-being earlier, that was an unlikely scenario.


    Looking at how tight she held my wrist, Mina probably heard parts of our conversation, specifically thest bits.


    If taken out of context… it would sound like I’m trying to flirt with her mother, right?


    But then, I found out that I was overthinking again. When I nced at Mina again, she’s now facing me and on her lips was a rather devilish smile.


    As she tightened her grip on my wrist, Mina dered to her mother. “Mom, don’t worry. I’m going to punish this idiot for teasing you. No one’s allowed to tease my mom, even if it’s you, shameless guy.”


    When I heard that, I immediately let out a sigh of relief… Right, it’s better this way. I’ll take the fall rather than create a rift between the two.


    “Eh? Mii-chan?”


    Auntie Yayoi was naturally surprised. The way she guiltily lowered her head meant she also came to the same conclusion as me earlier.


    But with Mina’s words, that was instantly dispelled.


    “Uhm… I was watching. This guy has that habit of teasing someone. You fell right into his palm, mom. I’ll take responsibility in giving him a lesson not to mess with you” Mina exined to her mother.


    “I-is that so?”


    “Yes, mom. What do you think? Do you have something to say in your defense, you shameless guy?”


    “None. I’m at your mercy…” I answered, raising the white g for Auntie Yayoi to see.


    Auntie Yayoi looked on worriedly when she saw me being dragged by Mina towards the curtained area to deliver my ‘punishment’.


    As we left her mother in the living room, Mina brought me to her room, locked the door and pushed me down on her bed. She then climbed up and settled herself on top of me, inside my embrace.


    Although she’s still ring at me, no matter how one look at this, no one would call this a punishment.


    Unlike the previous times, Mina stared into my eyes, cupped my cheeks to hold my head into ce and locked her lips with mine. For the second time ever since I started courting her, Mina took the initiative.


    Her lips moved expertly as we started contending on who would take the lead. While she’s sucking my upper lip, her lower lip was at my mercy. We’re like two thirsty vampires trying to take a sip of each other. But instead of blood, we just wanted to suck onto each other’s lips. And when that’s eventually proven not enough, I invaded her mouth with my tongue and I was weed by hers.


    At times we would pause to catch our breath. But while doing so, we’d alternately go down each other’s neck, giving it the same love that we’re exchanging through our lips.


    Apart from that, our hands also didn’t remain idle. Mine was ced on her nape while the other was tightly locked around her slender figure.


    As for Mina, one of her hands remained at my cheek, lovingly caressing it while the other one was holding tightly onto my scalp.


    I would surely need to fix my hair once we’re done here.


    Just like this, we spent at least five minutes just exchanging our affection for each other. And while we’re at it, Mina managed to convey that slight hint of jealousy that she showed earlier.


    It’s not just my imagination. She really did feel a little jealous over her mother but she reeled it in.


    Only now that we’re alone did she release it.


    By the time we finished with our kisses, our positions were reversed.


    I was now on top of Mina, pressing her on her own bed.. Nheless, Mina’s hand remained on my cheeks while her eyes affectionately looked at my face as if she’s trying to carve my image in her mind.
