A few days after the day I almost left Famille'...
"I'm back, Mina!"
"H-hey, Rei..."
Like she said, Reimako had gone to see her stepmom.
After talking things over, it seemed they were getting on better now.
"We can take it slow, and gradually get to know each other as mother and daughter."
"That's what dad said."
"That's great!"
(That really is great new. Rei!)
One day, a while later...
"See...If you do it like this, it's easy to make good fried eggs!"
"Woah! You're right! It's not runny at all..."
Rei and I are making breakfast together.
Recently, she's been teaching me how to cook, and I'm getting a little better.
(I'm still nowhere near as good as her, though...)
(She's really enjoys cooking, and she's really is fast with a kitchen knife.)
"What's wrong, Mina?"
"Huh? Oh, uhh..."
"Oh, how to chop vegetables, right?"
"If you rest your hand like this..."
She casually takes my hand in hers showing me how to use the kitchen knife properly.
"Like this, see?"
(S-she really have soft hands...)
My heart is racing at this moment.
(W-wait, I need to concentrate or else...)
"Ehehehehe..."
The next thing I know, Rei is peering around my face.
"Your face is red, Mina."
"Huh?! Oh..."
"Sorry, I did I startle you by touching your hand?"
Rei sticks her tongue out mischievously.
(Aha..sh-she got me...)
"You say that Rei, but you're blushing too, you know." (of course I'm bluffing.)
"Huh?!"
Now that she's aware that herself she started to blush
(Ahahaha...same old Rei.)
As we make breakfast, teasing each other playfully...
"Look at you two lovebirds, first thing in the morning!"
"Huh?!"
"Eek! Miyoko!!"
Miyoko suddenly appears, and startled us both as we quickly move apart.
Then...
"Hmm? Why are you moving away from each other like that?" asked Raika.
"Hehehe...Don't mind us."
"Yeah, don't since we've been standing here since you two started cooking." Exclaimed Kasumi.
"Awkward..." said Yomiko.
(Wh-what? I didn't even notice them there!)
Then, we all eat breakfast together cheerfully.
The others teasing us as we do.
Later...
"Mina!"
"What do you want?"
I'm relaxing in the living room, when Miyoko suddenly appears.
"I heard Rei went to her stepmoms'?"
"Oh, yeah...it seems they were able to talk thing over, too."
"I think they'll be able to get on better with each other now."
"Really? That's great."
"Yeah."
She tilts her head to the side in puzzlement.
"Hmn? Is that OK, thought?"
"Hmn? What do you mean?"
"Rei, living away from home because of things with her dad, right?"
"but if she patches things up with him.."
"Won't she end up going back home?"
"W-What?!"
I slid to the side of the sofa and fall on my butt.
"Is that true!?"
"You're a freaking genius you figure it out." And she left without saying another word.
"What's with her being, asinine about things," (but if Rei goes back home...)
"I'm gonna leave here again?"
"Huh?! Wh-why would you do that?!"
"B-because I don't want to be apart from her again! And she's the one who brought me back here..."
"Besides from that flawed logic of yours, what? Are you saying you're going with Rei when she goes back home?"
"I'll move to somewhere near her house!"
"Right...as if you had the money for it, and you dimwit the Famille' is near Ikagami resident, and there's no, boarding house near their home except this one, what? Are you saying you're going to evict someone's home so you can leave near her?"
"Well...i..."
"Anyway you really are head over heels, aren't you..."
Miyoko says this tiredly, but to me this is a serious problem.
(I-i need to ask her.)
Just then...
"Mina!?"
"Huh? Oh..."
I turn around, and Rei is standing there, trembling.
"H-huh?"
She suddenly throws her arms around me, her eyes teary.
"Y-y-you can't! Why are you going to leave here again!!?"
"Huh? N-no, I'm not going to..."
It seems Rei only overheard part of what I said.
"I-I...I'll cook for you every day, Mina!"
"I'll do your washing, give you massages...I'll do anything!"
(Anything..? W-wait, no!)
"So please don't go!!!"
It seems she got the wrong idea.
"M-Miyoko! Help me explain!"
"M-Miyoko?" (Where did she go!?)
Then I heard a whisper behind my ear.
"This looks like it might get interesting, so I'm outta here, goodluck~"
"W-wait ya bitch!"
"Hey! Mina!"
"Huh?! Y-yes?"
"I-I'm even willing to do echi stuff..."
"Echi stuff?"
{ After that, we go to my room and this is not what you're thinking this novel don't have lemon in it so you can take all the salt you have coz I'm not serving tequila shots, lol }
After that, we go to my room, and I frantically explain to her. In the end, I manage to clear up the misunderstanding.
{The echi stuff though...}
"Oh, Mina..."
"O-of course I'm not going to leave..."
Apparently, Rei's parents said that is was Ok for her to live here until she graduated from high school.
"Ah-ahahaha...sorry looks like I jumped to conclusions..."
"Hehehe...oh, you..."
"But what does echi stuff mean?"
"Huh?!" she blushed intensely.
"F-forget I said that!"
"B-but...you said..."
"I said forget it!!"
"Okay, okay please put down my bed..."
Rei gives a little smile and sat down on my bed.
"Mina...?"
"Hm?"
As she says this, I turn around...
Rei sitting on my bed blushing.
{That look she gives when she wants the "D"}
(Holy shit, she's so hot right now...)
"We're alone right now, right?"
"Y-yeah..."
I sit down next to her in silence.
Right in front of my eyes is Rei's flush cheeks, rosy lips and those alluring eyes are pulling me in.
(G-gulp...)
"Mina?"
"H-huh?"
"It's ok, you know..."
My heart is beating like Travis Barker beats his stick I mean drum.
Her sweet smile is drawing me in...
I move closer, being careful not to startle her...
"Echi stuff, it's okay you know..." she said within a sweet alluring voice...
I move closer to her lips as if drawn to mine she moves closer.
I gently kiss her soft tiny lips...
A moment that seems to have lasted a lifetime...
She moves away slowly.
"I kiss is nice as well..."
As I draw my lips away, Rei smiles happily.
"But if it's you and only you I don't mind echi stuff as well..."
"Eheheheh."
"Mina...?"
"It's okay we'll always be together."
"Yeah we will..."
I state at my beloved Rei's smiling face, as we gently promise this to each other.
But there is one thing that's been bothering me, though...what does echi stuff means....
