[FMMISM] Chapter 87: Aoi's Strange Behavior
🕑 Added 2024-08-10 01:08:13 +0000 UTCThe next morning.
After the scorching midday sun had poured into every corner of the Zenjou residence, Ragna, who had been lying on top of Aoi, finally opened his eyes.
At this moment, his head was tightly held in her embrace, and his cheek enjoyed a softness and comfort even better than a latex pillow.
Needless to say, the reason for sleeping in until noon was that Ragna and Aoi had been doing the deed all night long. It wasn't until dawn that they finally collapsed into blissful sleep, utterly exhausted.
Just after waking up, Ragna was still a bit groggy.
As he looked up at the head resting on his own, he saw that the eldest daughter of the Zenjou family appeared sweet and serene in her sleep.
Perhaps because she had been cared for by him, her previously dignified and reserved face seemed to have become even more charming.
"...Mmm."
On the soft mattress, Aoi, still asleep, rubbed her face against his hair.
Watching her, Ragna's thoughts drifted back to the latter half of the night before.
Aoi, who had been pampered and had no athletic ability, struggled cutely to keep up with his pace.
"Sleep a little longer, Aoi."
Ragna carefully pulled his head from Aoi's embrace, but he still managed to wake her from her light slumber.
"Mmh... Hahh..."
Aoi yawned and woke up.
After opening her eyes, she initially felt a momentary confusion about the situation, but soon her memory of the previous night came flooding back.
In an instant, her face flushed red.
Just last night, she had betrayed her husband, vigorously seducing a boy who was about the same age as her daughter.
As she sorted through the current situation, a deep sense of guilt arose in Aoi's heart.
Of course, the guilt wasn't from the act of betraying Tokiomi. What truly made her feel morally condemned was the fact that she had seduced Ragna last night.
However, Aoi knew very well that even if she were to apologize to the boy, he would certainly forgive her with a smile.
In her eyes, Ragna was just that kind of considerate and kind-hearted child.
With such a thought, Aoi felt her heart filled with gratitude and affection.
Truthfully, she had no regrets at all about betraying Tokiomi.
It wasn't until she met Ragna that she realized that only he could fill the void in her heart.
It wasn't until Ragna held her that she understood what true happiness for a woman really was.
Immersed in unprecedented happiness, Aoi even felt some regret that she hadn't met Ragna sooner.
No matter how many times, she was determined to be this child's woman.
"...Aoi?"
Hearing Ragna's voice, Aoi squinted her eyes and placed a kiss on his forehead, then gently stroked his hair.
"Ahh, Aoi is treating me like a kid again!" Ragna said, puffing out his cheeks.
"Fufu... How could that be? Ragna is not a child. I experienced it myself last night, after all... It was really amazing..."
Aoi, with a face as flushed as a peach blossom, said something ambiguous.
"How amazing?" Ragna asked with a smile.
"If you continue to tease me, I'll get upset, you know..."
With her face even redder, Aoi turned her head and scolded him.
"Such things... how can I say them..."
She knew exactly what the boy wanted to hear.
However, for a conservative and traditional woman like her, saying such things was impossible.
"I want to hear it."
As he spoke adamantly, Ragna pressed closer to Aoi, as if to assert his presence as her man.
"?!"
Aoi felt as if a switch had been forcibly turned on, and her body started to uncontrollably recall the details of the previous night. Her breathing became erratic, and she kept swallowing the saliva in her mouth.
"Aoi."
Ragna lifted the beautiful woman's chin with his finger, causing her to nod and her gaze to become hazy.
"Yes, I... I'm listening..." Aoi replied in a daze.
Soon, Ragna asked the classic question.
"Between me and your husband, which one is better? Say it out loud and you'll get your morning reward."
"You obviously knew the answer..."
"I want to hear you say it yourself."
"..."
After a brief silence, Aoi, with her face flushed red, murmured softly.
"It's impossible to compare... of course, you're better... You're far better than that man... I don't think I'll ever be able to forget the time I spent with you... It's already etched into my body..."
Holding onto Ragna's arms tightly, Aoi's moist eyes looked at him with a pleading gaze.
"I never knew being a woman could be so wonderful... So... So..."
"Alright, alright, I get it."
Ragna, satisfied, kissed Aoi's lovely lips, interrupting her.
"Mmph..."
Aoi immediately opened her mouth and let out a sound of pleasure.
In the next moment, Ragna's hand, which was resting on her waist, slowly began to slide down.
Ring-Ring-Ring!
A sudden series of melodious chimes interrupted their increasingly intimate actions.
Ragna and Aoi both looked at the telephone on the table beside the bed.
"Who could be calling at this hour? Let's call them back later."
Just as Aoi was about to ignore the phone call and continue seeking affection from Ragna, he spoke.
"It must be your husband calling... Aoi, answer the phone."
===
It was a refreshing and pleasant morning.
Tokiomi, after working for over 48 hours, finally had a good night's sleep last night. With his nerves finally at ease, the head of the Tohsaka family returned to his elegant mode.
Sitting in the luxurious sunroom, he sipped the tea he had brewed himself while organizing his thoughts.
Although the Holy Grail War had taken some unexpected turns, it was by no means a deadlock.
Yes, Gilgamesh had indeed lost Ea, but as the saying goes—every cloud has a silver lining.
Gilgamesh seemed like a completely different person now, having replaced his previous lax attitude with one of full commitment and fierce battle spirit. Clearly, that black-haired boy had awakened the serious and strongest King of Heroes.
Moreover, Tokiomi still had a powerful Servant whose identity had not yet been revealed, the Servant of his apprentice, Berserker Jack the Ripper.
In summary, Tokiomi believed that his group was still the closest to obtaining the Holy Grail.
However, before fully dedicating himself to the upcoming fierce battle, he had one more thing to do—to apologize to his wife, with whom he had strained relations last night, and to mend their relationship.
After calming down, Tokiomi began to regret his words from last night.
Before long, Tokiomi dialed Aoi's phone number.
After quite a long wait, the call was finally answered.
"Good morning, Aoi."
After offering a composed greeting, his wife's voice soon came through the receiver.
"Tokiomi… Hahh... What is it? Mmm..."
Upon hearing his wife's voice, Tokiomi felt a bit surprised.
In his memory, her voice was always very calm and elegant, but now the voice on the other end was somewhat unclear and mixed with breathing sounds.
Was it just his imagination?
Even so, he couldn't help but feel like his wife's voice seemed even more seductive than usual.
"It's about last night. Aoi, I think there might have been a small misunderstanding between us."
"Well, I… Hahh... I don't have anything to say to you…"
"Wait, Aoi, let me explain. What I said last night wasn't really my true intention. I definitely didn't mean to make Rin and Sakura fight with each other, so please believe me on this."
Before Aoi could say anything more, Tokiomi continued.
"As for Sakura, I deeply regret it as well. My feelings are the same as yours. Aoi, I promise you, after the Holy Grail War ends, I will use all the resources of the Tohsaka family and spare no effort to find Sakura. I will bring her back to the Tohsaka family."
"Hmph!" Aoi suddenly snorted.
Upon hearing this, Tokiomi was stunned.
After all, his wife made a rude sound he had never heard from her in all these years. Moreover, he knew that this was not the kind of sound one would expect from a lady of the Zenjou family.
However, Tokiomi suddenly had a different thought.
Aoi must be happy because he said he would find Sakura? In other words, had his wife already forgiven him?
With such a thought, Tokiomi finally felt his heart at ease.
"Aoi, what's wrong?" Tokiomi chuckled lightly. "Is there someone else next to you? Is Rin with you?"
"No, there isn't... I'm… hahh... running on a treadmill right now... Rin… she won't be back until the afternoon..."
"I see... so you're running..."
No wonder his wife on the other end of the phone seemed to be panting heavily. It turned out she was running.
"Yes, I'm running… Huff!"
"Haha, you used to dislike exercise so much. What's gotten into you today?" Tokiomi asked, then elegantly sipped his tea.
"I like it, I like it a lot… I love it!"
'Women really are fickle creatures...' Tokiomi thought to himself as he heard his wife's strong response.
In the past, his wife hated exercise so much, but now she was so passionate about it that she didn't even want to stop while on the phone.
Plak Plak Plak
"Hmm? I can faintly hear some noise on my end… It sounds quite rhythmic..." Tokiomi muttered in confusion.
He felt that it sounded somewhat like clapping or slapping sounds.
"Aahh!" Aoi suddenly let out a surprised sound.
"Aoi? What's wrong?!" Tokiomi asked in a panic.
"No, it's not… I think I twisted my waist while running..."
Upon hearing this, a worried look appeared on Tokiomi's face.
"What? Are you okay? Aoi, you don't usually exercise, so it's better not to do such intense activities all at once."
He knew well that his wife had been a pampered young lady who had been sheltered all her life.
Because of this, not to mention sports, she had never even done housework.
Whether at the Zenjou family or the Tohsaka family, Aoi had always been treated like a princess, carefully pampered by everyone around her.
"Ugh, I'm fine! Even if it's rougher, it's okay..."
Aoi seemed to be mumbling something in a frantic and dazed voice.
Since she wasn't speaking directly into the telephone handstand, Tokiomi couldn't make out what she was saying clearly.
"Aoi?"
"A spider suddenly appeared, and I got startled!" Aoi said hastily.
"Ohh... I'm glad you're okay..." Tokiomi sighed in relief. "After this Holy Grail War ends smoothly, let's live together with Rin and Sakura."
"Live together at the Tohsaka residence? No, I… I can't go back there..."
"Wait, what do you mean you can't go back?"
Tokiomi was surprised by his wife's sudden change. Especially the cold yet excited tone she had when speaking, which left him confused.
"Hahh, hahh... I'll explain next time… Anyway, I'll hang up now!"
"Huh? Okay.... take care of yourself over there. And be sure to stay safe—"
Toot Toot Toot
Before Tokiomi could finish his sentence, the phone was abruptly hung up.
"...?"
Tokiomi frowned as he set down the telephone handstand.
From his understanding of her, Aoi's behavior today was indeed strange.
"By the way, why did she suddenly start exercising?"
Tokiomi picked up the kettle and refilled his cup with tea when, suddenly, his eyes widened as if he had just thought of something.
"Could it be… Aoi is exercising because she wants to prepare for a younger sibling for Rin and Sakura?!"
