My daily life with the Shiina sisters

Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden is quite large, and the two spent quite a bit of time there. During this time, Shiina Mahiru called and asked about something.

"Did you enjoy your lunch?" Mahiru's voice came from the phone, but Imagawa Kaede felt that there should be someone around her.

"Yes, the editor invited us. You guys can have dinner first. I have some things to do here."

"Okay...Okay, then you go ahead and do your work. I'll hang up now."

"Wait a moment."

"What's wrong?"

"I'm a little tired. I want to replenish my Mahiru energy. Hehehe."

Hearing the smirk on the other end of the phone, Shiina Mahiru and the quintuplets didn't know what to say for a moment, but fortunately Mahiru replied quickly.

"I don't understand what you're talking about, energy or anything like that, I have no idea, I'm going to hang up now."

"No, I haven't kissed you yet. I'm so tired. I feel like I have no energy at all. If I could get a kiss from Mahiru, I'd definitely work harder, right?"

"Okay then, Muah~" Mahiru hesitated, but finally gave him a soft kiss.

"..."

"Okay, I'm going to hang up." Seeing that there was no response from Imagawa Kaede, Mahiru said.

"No, you can't hang up. I just kissed you on the left cheek, not on the mouth."

"Mua~, mua~ Okay, I'm hanging up now."

"Sure enough, there was still something missing on the phone. I kissed you three times, so you should do it yourself when I get back."

After hearing this, Mahiru suddenly fell silent. Her ears turned red for a moment. She picked up the speakerphone on the table and walked to a position relatively far away from the quintuplets and spoke.

"Then come back earlier. If you come back too late, I won't remember how many kisses we had just received."

After saying that, Mahiru quickly hung up the phone, leaving Imagawa Kaede alone there. When he came back, he looked very happy.

In the evening, Machida Yuanko did buy a lot of ingredients, and she seemed to be really determined to show off her cooking skills, so Imagawa Kaede let her do as she pleased.

When they arrived at her rented apartment, Machida Sonoko first put the beer she bought into the refrigerator, and then went to the kitchen to busy herself. As for Imagawa Kaede, he naturally lay on the sofa and watched TV out of boredom.

It is worth mentioning that the house was kept in good order, which was probably the reason why Imagawa Kaede was brought back.

The dishes were completed very quickly. They were simple side dishes, many of which were fresh food from convenience stores that you could just heat up before eating. You could even ask the store clerk to heat it up for you in the convenience store.

The taste is actually quite good. Imagawa Kaede is not some "God of Tongue" and is not that picky about food. In fact, most people are like that. People who are so picky about food are actually a minority. After finishing work, the chefs in the hotel will still choose to eat in some so-called small restaurants.

The peanuts that go with alcohol are just simple and rare peanuts. Even if they are cooked in a complicated way, they may not taste much better than those that cost several hundred yen a bag.

The two chatted about some interesting things that happened recently. Most of the time, it was Machida Sonoko who did the talking, and Imagawa Kaede would respond from time to time while listening.

It is understandable that adults are under greater pressure at work, because they have to deal with not only work, but also relationships between colleagues and between superiors and subordinates.

Machida Sonoko misses her student days very much, and Imagawa Kaede can understand this, as student days also have their own troubles. However, the relationships between classmates and the relationships between teachers as superiors and students are actually easier to handle.

Because this kind of relationship is relatively far away from directly generating benefits, unlike after work, if you fail to complete your task, it will cause direct losses to the company and your superiors.

If your work ability is better than that of your colleagues, you will directly snatch away their projects, etc. These are directly related to economic interests, so the conflicts will naturally be more serious.

Imagawa Kaede listened silently to her talk about her first half of life, watching her pour bottle after bottle of wine into her mouth. Gradually, she probably got drunk and leaned on Imagawa Kaede.

Imagawa Kaede looked at the defenseless beautiful editor in his arms, with short hair, a professional suit and a rosy face from being drunk.

Imagawa Kaede admitted that he had some thoughts at the moment, thoughts in various senses. In fact, he also understood that the reason why Machida Sonoko was drinking one can after another was not because she was in the mood to drink.

She just wanted to give herself a reason, a reason to accept reality. Most girls should have also imagined their future.

But in that beautiful blueprint called "the future", there must be no heavy work day after day, no worries of blind dates, and no Imagawa Kaede who wants to support her.

For various reasons, she showed herself defenselessly in front of Imagawa Kaede, including the story she just told about her first half of life, which was probably for this purpose.

I wonder if this woman will regret making this decision. Imagawa Kaede thinks it’s probably because of the Japanese TV series called “Tokyo Girls’ Guide”.

She also needs to go to that kind of place for a date before she turns thirty, and she also looks forward to someone taking her to experience that so-called high-end life.

But Imagawa Kaede knew that it was more about the emptiness in her heart and the fact that she had no one she could reject.

He subconsciously thought the best of the person in his arms. He didn't know when this bad habit started. People like him have always been sorry to good girls, but at the same time, they also hope to meet good girls.

Imagawa Kaede picked her up and put her on her slightly messy bed. Actually it wasn't very messy, probably because she left in a hurry that morning, so the sheets were a little messy and the quilt was not folded.

However, not folding the quilt is probably the standard for these single workers. At least Imagawa Kaede never folded it in his previous life.

Probably due to continuous exercise, Imagawa Kaede's physical strength has improved a lot. Machida Sonoko is obviously heavier than Mahiru, but he finds it much easier to hold her than when he held Mahiru before.

Looking at the woman lying on the bed, Imagawa Kaede thought for a moment and helped her take off some clothes. Then he helped to clean up the dining table, locked the door and left.

As for that kind of thing, Imagawa Kaede did not do it. Although he was interested in it in all aspects, he subconsciously wanted to leave here.

He didn't understand why he did something so obviously out of character, so he sent a message to Tanaka, and within five minutes he was on the bus back to the harbor.

Looking at the constantly changing scenery outside the car, he thought that maybe because he came back too late, Mahiru would forget how many times to be kissed. Of course, it could also be because Machida Sonoko didn't take a shower.

Just as Imagawa Kaede kept making excuses for his abnormal behavior, Machida Sonoko sat up from the bed with a slightly bitter smile on her face.

She didn't quite understand why her farewell to her first life was so tortuous, but in order to sleep more comfortably, she still took a bath.
