Paradise of Infinity: 289
🕑 Added 2023-08-16 18:34:03 +0000 UTCTitle: Next Week
Kyouko wakes with a tired grunt, her legs unwilling to unwrap the blanket as she feels her sleep unfulfilled.
‘If it isn’t Souma Family, then it’s his Fiancees. Doesn’t Mitsuko already know he is about to marry others? Why does she keep visiting him, sometimes with her daughters?’ Kyouko almost cries in frustration. It’s been a week since Nik moved in, and Kyouko familiarized herself with his large Family. Not all of them stay here. And Nik dodged her question about where the rest stayed. After all, the black-haired girl with milky green eyes picking her nose left quite the impression on the widow. There was also Ursa’s daughter, the golden-eyed woman with dignified features that was nowhere to be seen.
Kyouko groans, unclenching her thighs around the blanket as her cheeks turn a fair bit red once she notices the stain on her sheets and mattress. ‘Again! How many times does the excuse of me accidentally spilling a glass of water on my mattress work?’
In fact, Kyouko feels amazed that the excuse worked in the first place! It’s probably because of the language barrier or something else—she reasons. But what will she do if Nik and others suspect the accurate cause of the stains on her mattress? How will she face them?
‘It’s not like I can ask them to do it more quietly,’ Kyouko exhales as she starts changing while throwing her soiled nighty and undergarments into the washing machine. ‘It’s a little annoying. And I always get yelled at the nursery for not doing my job adequately! What can I do? I’m so sleepy!’
She changes into a long blue skirt before wondering about the top she should wear as her gaze falls on a cyan turtleneck sweater. A talisman pendant hangs from the article—both of them were Nik’s gift as a neighbor. Kyouko reciprocated with a basket of exotic fruits once she realized Nik’s a glutton.
‘Should I wear this?’ Kyouko muses. She soaked and washed the sweater once already to make it wearable, and it would be a waste not to wear something new. ‘But what about the talisman? It would be rude to wear one thing and not the other. I saw similar talismans hanging from the cloth store near Hiro’s Tailor.’
She finally scoffs in her mind. ‘It’s okay to be rude, right?! They are doing it nonstop, inconsiderate of their volume on the floor right above mine! I can be rude, too!’
Kyouko slips into the sweater after wearing her bra before awkwardly rolling the mattress and picking it over her shoulders. Her face heats further despite the morning draft as she sees Michi tending to the flowers with her daughter, Mai. The pair installed many potted flowers around the apartment’s perimeter, making Kyouko’s slightly dull building pop out without any new paint job.
“Hello,” Michi greets fluently, clearly studying one of the many translation books with heart daily. The mother of two is getting more fluent by the day by only speaking Japanese except for her time in her store in Nik’s personal space.
“Hello, Michi,” Kyouko smiles as Mai nods quietly, not the one to express herself with words as much as her sharp gaze that falls over the mattress slung on Kyouko’s shoulder.
“Ah, this?” Kyouko gulps, straining a smile. “I spilled water again.” Kyouko doesn’t even have to perform hand gestures to explain the situation since it’s not the first time!
Michi nods in understanding as Kyouko hurriedly steps the stairs to hang the mattress from the grill lining the balcony.
“Does she think we’re stupid?” Mai questions her mother quietly, clearly more adept in the second language than she lets others on. She doesn’t want the Ty Sisters to strong-arm her into a day of exploration the second they learn about her adequate speaking skills.
“Mai,” Michi pouts quite childishly, watering the plant while grumbling. “Who told you to use your skill on everyone else alongside Nik’s strange scent?”
Mai flinches and lowers her head while quietly watering her share of flowers. The tips of her ears turn slightly red as she questions softly, “Do you want me to stop, Mother?”
It’s Michi’s turn to fall silent.
And in this silence, the mother-daughter duo enter an accord. Meanwhile, Michi and Mai hear Kyouko explaining the same thing to Kya, Ursa, and Poppy as Nik simply nods and smiles in understanding before leaving with the rest. Others depart the apartment complex with Nik before discreetly entering his personal world—spending their time studying, training, working, or building things as Nik worked like a fine hugging machine under Yuuko’s impeccable leadership.
But his ‘add-ons’ are quirkier than Yuuko could ever imagine.

“Hmm~! Hmm~! Hmm~!” Ty Lee softly hums as she dusts the shelves with a wide, infectious smile. A grand bronze, plated battle armor graces her shapely yet slender body. Very little of her skin peaks out from the knight’s armor as her brown, fluffy locks bounce to the beats of her bobbing head as she performs the duty as the second salesperson of Yuuko’s bookstore. She giggles at times as Nik gives special preferences to old women or cute children by playing and chatting with them to make them smile before hugging them.
But Ty Lee is happy with the arrangements Nik made for her and her sisters. While they like practicing with Suki as the Kyoshi Warriors, their trainer has to admit Ty Sisters boast peak physical conditioning due to their heritage of chi-blocking practices and sheer physical flexibility. And when not training, the girls like to play and distract others during training. Not even Suki prevails against the seven sisters when they unite against a common cause—hijacking training sessions for fun activities like dancing or even some circus stunts. It’s even worse when one realizes how much the mothers adore the seven sisters, constantly spoiling them more than they ever pampered their own kids!
It’s a losing battle the more it goes on. Realizing this, Suki lets Nik employ the seven sisters in different stores on the shopping street. Not that others' minded. Nik collected Ty Sisters’ relevant ID and talked with Yuuko before introducing Ty Sisters to various store owners. Starting from the eldest, Ty Lin works as a waitress in Shindou’s Restaurant beside Yuuko’s bookstore. Her presence boosted their sales, so Manabu’s mom is more than happy with Nik, much to her husband’s annoyance.
Ty Lat wanted to find a store dealing with Musical Instruments, but none was found near the Shopping Street and didn’t want to separate from her sisters, so she tried to get a part-time job at an Old Couple’s, whose wife currently squeezes the heck out of Nik during her hug, Sweet’s Shop. All she had to do was smile and show she could count numbers, and lo and behold—she landed a job!
Ty Lao chose the adjacent stationary store, attracting customers by decorating the storefront using origami. A colorful paper dragon hanging from the store’s bold-printed board draws many school children and teens.
Ty Liu and Ty Lum work in Hori’s Tailor—the ground zero for all the cosplay purchased by Yuuko. Lum and Liu may not be adequate tailors, but Hori likes to take inspiration from real life. The middle-aged cosplay fanatic she is, Hori claims she can ‘cook the world’ with the twin’s support. To be fair, Hori wanted to employ all seven but could only afford to pay for two sisters.
And Ty Woo—
“Look at him,” Ty Woo sulks. “His hugs ain’t that great.”
—is the new face of voluntary unemployment.
Ty Lee looks at her sister before scoffing, “The least you can do is practice your speaking skills. Yuuko doesn’t mind if you spend your day in her living room, you know.”
“Don’t act like you love learning a new language,” Ty Woo snarks before picking a book from one of the questionable sections under the surprised gazes of many bespectacled men with a generous body shape. The thing about weekdays is most men are either at their learning institutions or their job and are only free to visit other places well-beyond evening. But some, like Ty Woo, pride themselves in their lack of work. Or, in Kurumi’s words, some men’s job IS to move around, recording their day-to-day life!
Crazy!
Now how can Nik put it modestly?
Wait, does he need modesty?
No!
Ty Sisters can attract a healthy serving of perverts, and living a questionable lifestyle himself, Nik doesn’t know whether to laugh or feel annoyed by it.
“What are you doing?” Ty Lee snatches the book from Woo’s hand before depositing it in its rightful place, angrily glaring at the rest of the men—“Ehm!”
The men gulp before evading her gaze as Woo snickers, “What? I was learning the names of body parts in the new language, bitch~!”
“Why don’t you pester Liu and Lum instead of me?” Lee scoffs as she discreetly glances at different ‘attractive’ magazines, wondering if she can purchase all the ‘fun’ outfits.
“You cry when we ignore you, and now you cry when we attend to you? Geez, Lee.”
“I didn’t cry!”
Woo smirks before pulling out her smartphone and pressing herself to her dearest youngest’s body as she snaps a selfie. They don’t have a lot of issues with understanding their smartphones since the device of wonders can even change its entire language! All Seven Sisters and the rest in Nik’s personal space boasts a Smartphone. But the thing about his personal space is they cannot access the ‘network’—the lifeline of a smartphone.
“There we go,” Woo pecks Lee’s cheek before grinning, “I’m off to check on the rest of my bitches! Take care. Will see you at lunch.”
Lee blushes, slightly shy, and a foolish smile threatens to grace her lips as Woo snickers, “And your aura turned pink!”
“So was yours when you slept with Nik last night!” Lee shoots back.
Woo fights back a blush before showing Lee the finger and scampering away under the dreamy gazes of many men.
Ty Woo chose unemployment to drift between her sisters, spending time with each of them daily since she figured some might get bored without a similar face to talk to.
Narcissism?
Damn, right, bitch!
‘God, they can become models,’ Yuuko groans before shaking her head wryly, preparing herself for another hectic lunch.
There is a reason for their hectic lunch.

Kurumi and Megumi stop at the first stair of the flight of stairs leading to the shopping street under Manabu’s gaze. Their expressions turn complicated as Manabu questions, “Are you going to move?”
“Shut up,” sounds Kurumi. “Let me prepare my heart.”
“Don’t tell him to shut up!” Megumi frowns as a stray wind blows, somehow only getting Megumi’s skirt to flutter as a vessel threatened to pop within Manabu’s nostril—
“Your panties are exposed again,” Kurumi, already a master at knowing how things work around Megumi, scoffs as the busty girl brightens like a ripe tomato, quickly pushing her skirt down before glaring back at the flustered Manabu—“You move in the front!” She snaps with a shy expression.
Megumi questions Kurumi after a second, “Why are you still tagging along? It’s not like he lives with you—or you with him.”
Manabu’s ears twitch as Kurumi grumbles with a note of shamelessness.
“I spend like three nights a week there, ’kay? And we planned to go to Karaoke together today.”
Megumi gulps, unwilling to question what Kurumi did with Nik three nights a week—cause they damn well didn’t study for the former’s exams! But it’s hard to curb her curiosity for so long!
Megumi and Manabu think simultaneously—
‘How can a man have so many fiancees?!’
It might be illegal to have multiple wives, so Nik and others aren’t at the cross with the law, but the two teens wonder what Nik and his fiancees share for them to accept polygamy to such an extent!
“Why the face if you have plans?” Megumi frustratingly mutters as Kurumi works her jaw.
“Because someone hijacked my plans,” Kurumi’s grip around her bag’s latch tightens as her honeyed hues flare indignantly.
Megumi shakes her head before clearing her throat, “But Karaoke sounds nice, right? Manabu-kun, how about we rent a room, too?”
“Sorry, I have my cram school,” Manabu shakes his head quickly. ‘That’s bad! I can barely concentrate around Megumi! I need to study every second with finals only months away, or my dream of Tokyo University can kiss me goodbye!’
Case in point: a damnable draft blows near the trio, leaving Kurumi’s skirt untouched as Megumi’s skirt flips up again right under Manabu’s gaze.
“Megumi, your skirt—” Kurumi mentions the obvious in a bored tone as Megumi snaps, “I can see that!”
She hurriedly pushes the fabric of her skirt down and glares at Manabu, “You pervert!”
“If anyone’s the pervert, it’s you,” Kurumi scoffs, walking ahead. “Flashing others without considering if they want to see you in the first place. Your panties looked dirty.”
“Stop talking!” Megumi flushes even more, covering Kurumi’s mouth while glaring at Manabu with a tearful look. “They weren’t dirty!”
“I’m going to go ahead,” Manabu mutters with a look of utter blankness. His soul left his body.
“You’re seriously annoying!” Megumi finally bears down on Kurumi by bending her hands beside her breasts as she scowls.
“I’m not the one showing my panties.”
“It was an accident!”
“Hard to believe since my skirt didn’t move an inch.”
Megumi deals a lethal blow, saying, “Well, it’s not like there’s anything great to see!”
“Khuk!”
---
“Oh, welcome,” Ty Lee and Nik greet the two girls simultaneously with pleasant smiles on their faces, smears of cream visible near the corner of the duo’s lips as Megumi and Kurumi see other Ty Sisters demolishing another cake ordered through Kaya’s Bakery. It’s clear the pair sidelined their share of cake to welcome the two girls.
“Hi, Ty Lee,” Megumi’s mood brightens at the presence of her new sparring partner. Ty Lee offered herself as a sparring partner the second she saw Megumi practice with her bokken in the backyard. And while Megumi didn’t take the contortionist seriously at first, it took Ty Lee exactly 17 minutes to master the basics and play by the traditional rules of Kendo!
It almost hurt Megumi’s pride when her sisters wanted to take shots at sparring after ending their jobs in the evening since it’s less straining than Suki’s training—their words!
Now Megumi craves to watch Suki in action. But the amber-haired girl didn't show herself, like many other women around Nik, after their initial introductions. Megumi was relatively curious about the green-eyed petite girl called Toph, who moved so well despite a blindfold around her eyes most of the time—it looked straight out of some anime!
‘And Ty Lee says Nik is an expert, too. Not in swords but staff,’ Megumi glances at Nik before nodding at him as they hear a soft and familiar giggle.
“What’s Aunty Kaya doing here for?” Kurumi instantly frowns as she enters the store. “I thought I taught you how to order food online from other stores using the app.”
Nik lets out a curious noise before explaining, “Oh, her. She said she baked a special cake which wasn’t on the menu. So, I ordered her.”
“Her?” Megumi and Kurumi question with an uncanny sync.
“Yeah, it’s called the Kaya Special.” Nik chuckles, more than happy with his horrible pun, as the two girls thin their lips. Ty Lee speaks something in her mother tongue as Nik nods and lets Ty Lee get back to the cake on the counter alongside her sisters.
“What did she say?” Kurumi inquires curiously.
“She said to behave during our date,” Nik smirks as he nods at Megumi, “And that she’ll be waiting here for me to pick her up. But if it gets late, the sister can return to the apartment on their own. They have their keys with them.”
“It’s alright,” Megumi pouts. “They are easier to feed than you.”
“No doubt about that,” Kurumi scoffs. “And it WILL be late,” she promises, making Megumi slightly blush as she dodges Nik’s gaze and enters the hallway.
“So? Shouldn’t you be getting ready?” Nik looks at Kurumi as the girl suddenly feels the stares of the seven sisters converge upon her. They know that Kurumi knows more about Nik’s situation!
The girl gulps, excited and yet nervous about the things she will come to see.
Kurumi nods as Nik stretches his left arm out with a gentle smile. “Come on, then.”
The girl slowly extends her hand, her fingers barely meeting his—
“Oh, am I interrupting?” an amused voice musters as Kurumi almost jumps out of her skin before obnoxiously 1glaring at the brown-haired Kaya.
“Nothing!” Kurumi barks as the seven Ty Sisters break into giggles, some of them talking in Japanese about a crimson-red color around the former. Kurumi drags Nik out as he turns to smile at the group in the storefront. “I’ll meet you girls later. Oh, and Kaya! The Cake was delicious.”
“You can order me anytime,” Kaya chuckles, aware of Nik’s pun, as he grins, accepting the forthright woman’s word.
“Definitely!”
“Stop chatting with that devil!” Kurumi pulls him away faster, fearing her chances amidst the baker and the seven sisters all huddled in one spot!
