Reiki opened the front door while holding onto a large grocery bag while Shiro who was holding onto a packet of co*lish with her mouth hurriedly walked in, and took her shoes off. Reiki said. "We're back." Shiro slid open the shoe compartment and took the packet of co*olish off her mouth and held it with her hand, she said. "We're back." She placed the co*lish back into her mouth as she took out a pair of white indoor slippers and placed her black leather shoes inside. Reiki made his way inside and undid his shoelaces while Ketsueki made her way to the front, she said. "Welcome back-." Her gaze focused on the grocery bag near Reiki as he threw something at her. Ketsueki caught it mid-air and looked at it, she said. "Ice cream?..." Reiki placed his sports shoes in the shoe compartment and took out a pair of indoor slippers for himself.

He picked up the grocery bag and said. "Shiro and I stopped by a convenience store." Ketsueki twisted the plastic cap off and started taking sips, her gaze wandered onto her little sister who couldn't move her gaze away from the plastic bag in Reiki's hands. Ketsueki pointed at the grocery bag in his hands using the ice cream in her hand, while the two of them made their way closer to her. Ketsueki said. "What's in the bag?" Reiki took out another co*lish that already had the cap off, he said. "About ¥3,000 worth of ice cream." Reiki took a big gulp from the ice cream in his mouth while Ketsueki's gaze narrowed, she said. "Where did you get that money?" Reiki placed one of his hands inside the plastic bag, he said. "Just some leftover money the old man gave me." He tossed two more co*lish at Ketsueki who caught it with her other hand and gave his little sister two more which made her eyes sparkle.

Reiki pocketed the empty packet of ice cream, he said. "I'll be in my room. I won't be able to finish all of this and place the rest of it in the fridge." Shiro stared at the ice cream in each hand as she quickly walked in the house heading toward her room, she said. "Thank you, Onii-chan!" Ketsueki had already finished one of them and crumpled it as she pocketed it. Reiki was about to walk past her when she suddenly placed a hand in front of him. Ketsueki glanced at him from the corner of her eye, she said. "You didn't answer my question." Reiki took another ice cream from the plastic bag, he said. "Leftover from the old man." Ketsueki's gaze narrowed, she said. "... Fine, I'll leave it at that." She rolled her eyes at him and was about to move her arm away while Reiki was about to take a step forward.

Ketsueki suddenly straightened her arm again which stopped him from walking, she said. "In the early morning, where were you?" Reiki made sure to maintain eye contact and said. "I was at a friend's house." Ketsueki's eyes were filled with doubt, she said. "A friend's house?" Reiki nodded, which made Ketsueki cross her arms, she said. "Funny enough you barely even traveled." Reiki nodded as a moment of silence passed. Ketsueki's gaze narrowed, she said. "When am I going to meet your friends?" Reiki tilted his head sideways, he said. "That depends, are you going to threaten them again or give them a fair chance?" Ketsueki's eyes had a hint of coldness in them, she took one big step toward him making Reiki look completely up.

With an indifferent tone, Ketsueki said. "If they step one foot in my house again, I'll-..." Ketsueki stopped herself before she could finish her sentence, she faked a cough and said. "Those new friends of yours aren't allowed in. I won't stop you from dropping by from time to time but that's where I draw the line." Reiki thought. At least she didn't prevent me from visiting. He gave his older sister a nod, Reiki said. "Understood, Onee-chan. One more thing though." Ketsueki's lips formed into a small frown, she said. "What?" Reiki continued. "Can you take a step back? My neck is starting to hurt." Ketsueki's eyes slightly widened as she realized her little brother's head was facing up the entire time. She took a step back and placed a hand on top of his head ruffling his unkempt and scraggly hair.

Ketsueki forced out a chuckle and said. "Sorry about that, Reiki." Reiki placed a hand behind his neck, he said. "Don't worry about it, Onee-chan." Ketsueki moved the hand from his head onto his cheek, she said. "So, are you still going to your room? Or are you going to the multi-complex apartment next to our house?" Reiki took out another co*lish from the plastic bag, he said. "My room, it's closer and all I have to do is climb up. I'll be back to make dinner." Reiki walked past his older sister as he saw something move from the corner of his eye. He stopped and looked inside the plastic bag, Reiki thought. Let me guess… He turned his head sideways and saw Ketsueki holding on to another packet of ice cream with a smile on her lips, she said. "Penalty for lying to me."

Reiki nodded and said. "Fairtrade." As he made his way up the stairs while Ketsueki made her way toward the couch her eyes suddenly widened. She turned her upper body sideways, she said. "Reiki, wait! What did you mean by climbing-?" She looked around and saw he was already long gone, Ketsueki let out a scoff as she made her way to the couch and said. "This boy of mine… I need to discipline him more."

Arashi's Apartment

Reiki suddenly appeared by the window and looked around and saw the tv on with Asami still sitting in the middle of the couch with Kiru on her right who had her head on Asami's shoulder. Reiki took out two ice creams from the plastic bag and threw them at them like a baseball. The two of them easily caught it mid-air, Kiru said. "Little brother, welcome back." She sat straight up and looked at what's in her hand, Kiru continued. "Co*lish?" Asami stared at it and looked at it with a hint of confusion on her face, she said. "I've never heard of this." Reiki made his way toward them, he took out another one and took off the cap. He said. "Where's our spoiled princess?" Asami turned the ice cream in her hand and started reading the back while Kiru was thinking about something.

Both of them ignored him while Asami said. "How much was this?" Reiki was on the left side of the couch as he threw the plastic bag on the coffee table, he said. "¥100." As he emptied the co*lish in one go and took out the empty one from his pocket. Reiki placed them on the coffee table and placed five of them on the table. He took out his tattered pouch while Kiru shrugged and twisted the cap off and tasted it, with a hint of surprise on her face she said. "Not bad." Asami stared at it with an odd expression and glanced at Kiru from the corner of her eyes as she saw her enjoying it. Reiki heard the sound of footsteps behind him and turned his head sideways as he saw Arashi open a door with damped hair and a white towel around her neck.

Arashi was wearing a dark green tank top that hugged her skin paired along with grey shorts. While drying her hair, Arashi said. "Okay, so maybe those one hundred laps were a bit of a challenge-..." Her eyes wandered to Reiki who was eating ice cream, he gave her a wave and picked up one of the co*lish on the coffee table and threw it at her. Reiki said. "What's up? How were the laps?" Arashi turned her head away from him and took the cap off, she said. "But me losing doesn't mean anything!" She glanced at him from the corner of her eye while Kiru ignored her and Asami was still focusing on the co*lish in her hand. Asami turned her head to face Kiru, she said. "Is this even edible?" Kiru nodded and moved the cap away from her mouth, she said. "It's edible, not everything under the price of a silver coin is inedible."

Kiru moved the cap back to her mouth and emptied it in one go, she threw the empty packet onto the coffee table and grabbed another one. Asami's lips turned into a straight line, she slowly took the cap off and took a small sip. Asami said. "... It's surprisingly good…" Reiki was staring at them and thought. Not everything under the price of a silver coin is inedible?... How rich are these two?... The two of them moved their gaze back on the tv watching a man walking through a farm while being followed by a crew of people asking him questions. Reiki shook his head sideways and moved his gaze back onto Arashi, he said. "Are you still salty about losing to me?" Arashi was taking a sip of co*lish, she pointed at him and swallowed. Arashi said. "I didn't lose! You were just lucky!" Reiki let out a chuckle and said. "I tagged you-."

Arashi placed her hand a few inches away from his face, she said. "Let's not talk about the past." Reiki took one big sip of the ice cream in his hands and downed it in one go, he pocketed it and said. "Where's Cherry? I left her here." Kiru said. "I have her." She took out a talisman from her pocket as it faintly glowed. Cherry suddenly appeared flapping her wings mid-air as she looked around the room, she made her way onto Reiki's right shoulder and rubbed her face against his cheek. Kiru pocketed the talisman and said. "I've already fed her." Reiki patted the top of Cherry's head with his index finger, he said. "Appreciated."

Arashi emptied the ice cream packet in her hands and threw it at his face. Cherry quickly flew into the air while the packet hit him square in the face, Reiki said. "I still owe you a massage." Cherry flew toward the window and sat on the ledge as she closed her eyes. Arashi's eyes immediately brightened up as she faked a cough to hide her excitement, she said. "I-." Asami threw an empty packet of ice cream onto the coffee table, she turned her head to face Kiru and said. "Massage?" Kiru glanced at her from the corner of her eye, she said. "You should ask for one, I know I will." Reiki continued. "So, where are you going to lay down? In your room-?" Arashi smiled as she was about to say something while Asami suddenly appeared beside Reiki. Asami placed a hand on his shoulder, she said. "On the couch."

Asami moved her gaze back onto Arashi. Asami continued. "Isn't that right, Tora?" Arashi had a lewd smile on her lips for a split second as it disappeared as she felt the flare from Asami. Arashi faked a cough and said. "I mean… My room has privacy, a big bed, and-." Asami indifferently said. "And when was the last time you cleaned your room?" Reiki glanced at the hand on his shoulder, he said. "I don't mind if she laid down on the couch, but what about-." He heard something land on the ground with a thud which made him turn his head sideways. Kiru was pocketing her pouch as she took out a metal chair with a large cushion along with a round metal table complete with a tea set. Kiru sat down and flashed him a smile, she said. "I'll be fine."

Reiki pocketed the packet of ice cream Arashi threw onto his face, he said. "On the couch with your back facing the ceiling." He made his way to the couch while Arashi walked beside him, she glanced at him from the corner of her eye and said. "You better make use of this opportunity to make it up to me, Lil bro." Arashi laid down on the couch stomach-side down. Reiki lazily waves his hand at her, he said. "Yes, yes. Whatever you say, princess." He stood near Arashi's back and placed both his hands near her spin. Arashi had a sweet smile on her lips, she said. "Say that again-." Before she could finish, Reiki slowly added some pressure which made her let out a long groan oozing with pleasure. Asami moved to the other chair Kiru took out while she poured some tea into an empty teacup. He moved his hands near her neck and moved his thumb in a circular motion while slowly applying pressure.

Asami sat down while her gaze was fixated on Reiki's hands, she thought. Is that… An acupuncture massage?… Reiki continued to apply pressure while Arashi's eyes turned hazy as she let out long groans of pleasure. Asami picked up her cup of tea, she said. "Seems normal to me." Kiru slightly turned her head toward her, she said. "Oh, it's just getting started." A small smirk formed on her lips as she took a sip of tea. Asami raised a brow in interest as she moved her gaze back to them. Reiki moved his hands onto her lower back and slowly added pressure. Arashi's eyes suddenly widened as she tried to say something but let out a soft moan instead. The smirk on Kiru's lips grew bigger while Asami raised a brow in interest. Arashi started to pant, she took a deep breath and said. "L-Lil bro I-I think-." Before she could finish, Reiki placed his knuckles a few inches below her shoulder and slowly added pressure. He said. "What was that? I didn't hear you."

Arashi let out another sharp moan as she placed a hand to cover her mouth to keep herself quiet. A hint of blush started to form on her cheeks as she tried to take deep breaths to compose herself. Asami placed a hand on her chin while Kiru glanced at the wall from the corner of her eye. Arashi's panting started to turn more erratic, her breathing started to turn heavy as she gripped the armrest of the couch with both her hands. Reiki continued with his massage while Arashi's moans were slowly getting louder each second. After a few more acupuncture points Reiki moved his hands away from her back and walked toward her feet. The blush on Arashi's cheeks turned even more prominent as her eyes had a thin layer of tears in them enhancing her beauty. Kiru looked to her right and noticed Asami was gone from her seat.

Kiru looked around and saw Asami was standing behind Reiki watching him. Reiki looked at Arashi's delicate foot and noticed the lack of calluses, he thought. Body refining, huh... He placed his thumb on the soles of her feet and continued the massage. Arashi let out a sharp moan as she pushed her upper body up from the couch and turned her head sideways to look at Reiki. Her eyes had a hint of lust in them as she tried her best to control her panting as her upper body heaved from her breathing making her large chest jiggle. He casted. Flash.

『Flash Has Been Activated. Mana Cost: 500.』

Reiki appeared beside Arashi who was on the verge of being in a frenzy, she was about to move her face closer to him. He raised his hand and placed it on Arashi's lips which caught her off guard. She looked up to him with his unkempt and scraggly hair covering his eyes that was paired along with a smile on his face. Reiki said. "Are you still mad at me?" With his hand covering her lips Arashi lightly shook her head sideways as the hint of lust in her eyes slowly dissipated. Asami was watching the two of them with her arms crossed, she thought. This boy becomes even stranger the longer I know about him… Kiru took a sip from her cup of tea while quietly keeping to herself. Reiki moved his hand away from her lips, he moved his unkempt and scraggly hair that was blocking his view. He said. "Now, let's continue."

Arashi slightly reeled back, she said. "I-Is it going to be-?" Reiki waved his hand and said. "It won't, I'm just not used to massaging other people yet." Reiki glanced at the corner of his eye and suddenly turned around. He noticed around and noticed no one was behind him, with a slightly narrowed gaze he moved his gaze back onto Kiru and Asami sitting down enjoying a cup of tea. Reiki said. "I'm guessing both of you would like a massage?" Kiru nodded, she said. "I'm interested, but…" She glanced at Arashi who was in a slight daze as she stared at a wall. Kiru continued. "Not what she's having." Asami smelled the fragrance in her cup, she said. "Same." She took a sip and glanced at Arashi who was struggling to pull herself together.

Reiki nodded, he said. "It'll have to be short then, cause I still have to make dinner." He turned around to face Arashi and placed a hand on her shoulder. Reiki said. "Lay back down." Arashi nodded with a hint of hesitation as she laid back down on the couch with her back facing the ceiling. Reiki made his way to her back and started the massage.

~One Hour And Fifteen Minutes Later~

Asami was sitting in the middle of the couch with Kiru on her right while she hugged her arm. Arashi sat on her left with Reiki on her lap as she wrapped her arms around him and played with his hair while in a daze. Kiru and Asami had relaxed expressions on their faces as they let out a long satisfied sigh. Reiki moved his gaze on the tv that wasn't even on, he thought. I need to get back home. The moment he tried to move Arashi's arms around him suddenly tightened which constricted his movements. Reiki let out a sigh and turned his head to face to look at Asami, he said. "A little help would be appreciated." Asami didn't even bother glancing at him and said. "She'll let go eventually." Kiru stared at the tv with a hint of haze in her eyes.

Reiki tried to move his upper body which only led to Arashi's hold on him becoming even tighter. The veins in his arms started to become prominent as he couldn't even get her to move a single millimeter, Reiki said. "Arashi, I need to go." Arashi placed her chin on top of his head, she said. "Five more minutes." Reiki eventually gave up as he felt his muscle starting to weaken, he thought. Your five minutes turned into thirty. He said. "If you don't let me go, then who's going to make you dinner?" Arashi's eyes widened in realization while Asami and Kiru enjoyed the lingering touch on their backs. Arashi reluctantly let him go as he stood up, Reiki said. "Make sure to do a hundred laps again tomorrow." Arashi gave him a small nod while Reiki moved his gaze onto Asami and Kiru, he continued. "Can one of you two do me a small favor?"

Asami and Kiru's eyes suddenly had a hint of seriousness in them. Kiru sat up straight while Asami glanced at him. Reiki continued. "I need a deep ocean blue-colored pouch." Arashi had a small frown on her lips, she said. "And how come I'm not being asked for help?" Reiki glanced at her and said. "I don't want you asking for an eternity of slavery in exchange.' Arashi's eyes widened in disbelief while Kiru placed a hand on her chin, she said. "Blue? Didn't take you as the type to like soothing colors." Asami nodded and said. "Same, I half-expected you to prefer dark shades of grey." Reiki rolled his eyes at them, she said. "It's for my little sister." Arashi frowned at him, she said. "Why would I do that?" Kiru was about to lay down her head on Asami's shoulder, Kiru said. "A gift for your little sister? Consider it done, I'll have kanzei pick up something-."

Asami raised her hand which made Kiru stop, Asami said. "I'll have someone buy a decent one from the mainland and have it delivered here." Kiru placed down her head on Asami's shoulder, she sat up straight as the two of them glanced at each other from the corner of their eye. Kiru said. "A person of your stature shouldn't waste precious time and resources on something as small as this." Asami let out a chuckle, with a sweet smile she said. "Darling, I think you keep forgetting what I do every day." The two of them smiled at each other as he felt the pressure in the room increase. Reiki faked a cough as he moved his gaze onto the wall to his left, he said. "I need it by today." He made a beeline toward the window and placed Cherry on his shoulder, Reiki said. "Cherry, wake up. We're going home."
