After Nanaya left home, Sayuri finally relaxed her tense body, feeling as if she had just fought a brutal battle.
Her right hand was nearly crippled - though Nanaya's help had blocked most of the release, it had still been splashed too many times, leaking white fluid.
Afterwards, she could only endure the sticky sensation and pretend everything was normal as she saw her "little brother" off.
Strangely enough, it was Sayuri who actively asked Nanaya to visit her more often.
Now, when she tried to clean the fluid from her hand, she found it had already begun to coagulate.
An unfamiliar scent permeated the air, one that inexplicably made her heartbeat accelerate and hormones surge.
"..."
Sayuri examined the fluid on her hand, then gently raised it to her nose for a sniff.
An intense yet not unpleasant aroma flooded her nostrils.
"!!!"
Her legs gave way the moment she tried to stand, sending her collapsing back onto the sofa.
Maybe I should just take a bath!
And... there's something else that needs handling...
Entering the bathroom, since the situation had already developed this far and she was home alone, Sayuri no longer needed to maintain pretenses.
She casually slipped out of her kimono and tossed it into the laundry basket - the garment was already stained beyond saving with white fluid.
The usually fastidious Sayuri couldn't be bothered now.
The mirror reflected her flawless body. Under normal circumstances, she might have taken time to admire her figure, but now she had no such leisure.
Because...
Her breasts had already begun their volcanic eruption.
The lively peaks swayed with her movements while reacting to the cool air, intermittently spraying white magma in arcs across the mirror, as if dressing her reflection in an elegant white veil.
"..."
So swollen...
Why is this happening now when it's usually fine?
Sayuri didn't understand the reason, but the distended feeling demanded release. This swelling made her think of Nanaya earlier.
Perhaps when little brother gets swollen and can't find relief, he feels this same discomfort?
As this thought crossed her mind, Sayuri placed both hands on her breasts.
The white fluid on her right hand had congealed into a gel-like substance, creating a striking contrast against her snowy peaks while mixing with the white magma flowing down their slopes.
"Mmm... my hands are so sore..."
With her naturally weak strength compounded by her injured hand, Sayuri found it impossible to relieve herself. She could only give up halfway.
Soaking in the bathtub, letting hot water wash away her physical exhaustion, a sudden thought occurred when she remembered the satisfied expression on Nanaya's face before he left.
Since I helped little brother find relief, why can't I ask him to return the favor?
——————————
Nanaya lay on the bed beside Machida Sonoko, who was dehydrated to the point of soaking the sheets, her mouth dry yet abdomen distended. Watching Sonoko with her eyes closed savoring the afterglow, Nanaya didn't disturb her.
When Sonoko finally regained enough strength to move, she mustered her energy to nestle against Nanaya's chest.
"Anything major happening at the publishing house recently?"
"Nothing, everything's normal... huff... we've attracted many new authors under your policy reforms..."
Sonoko panted lightly as she basked in Nanaya's warmth.
"That's good. What about those series we discussed canceling?"
"One seems to be making a miraculous recovery!"
Sonoko's voice brightened when mentioning Shiina. Not having to deliver cancellation news was quite a relief.
"Oh? How'd that happen?"
"Some very influential online account in that circle voiced support. I never expected Shiina to know someone like that."
Nanaya didn't respond.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing. Let me get you some water."
Getting up and heading to the living room, Nanaya pondered while pouring water.
So it must be Aki Tomoya who helped Utaha Kasumigaoka revive her work, probably in exchange for joining his game development circle?
With this, Aki Tomoya's game team is successfully assembled under my indirect help.
How interesting.
Utaha Kasumigaoka!

"Mmmph... cough gulp... glug glug"
Once again generously providing post-meal beverages to little Megumi who'd had too much salty lunch.
Nanaya watched as more and more of an intoxicated expression appeared on Megumi's face, feeling the satisfaction of cultivation.
"Your period should be over by now?"
Nanaya slightly bent down, lifting Megumi's chin with a finger as he watched her pink tongue dart out to catch escaping drops at the corners of her lips, her throat undulating.
She habitually opened her mouth before Nanaya like begging for reward - clean and pink again inside.
"Yes, it's gone..."
"Come to the villa tonight."
"Okay, I understand~"
Megumi's voice remained as flat as ever, though she no longer felt any shame saying such things.
She even considered her period ending as fortunate - now Nanaya wouldn't have to restrain himself.
As Megumi stood up, Nanaya suddenly decided to perform an inspection.
The "single-line sky" remained in perfect condition, as if its tight defenses had never been breached. However, her pink striped panties had grown damp - seems there's been localized rainfall.
Megumi stood before Nanaya, small hands trembling as she lifted her skirt hem.
Shame battled with the desire to let Nanaya see better, with the latter eventually winning.
Blushing with closed eyes, Megumi endured Nanaya's probing fingers while keeping her skirt firmly raised to not obstruct his view.
Pat pat
After sufficient examination, Nanaya gave two encouraging taps on Megumi's bottom.
She hurriedly lowered her skirt, relieved.
With lunch break over, Megumi followed Nanaya toward the stairwell, already skillfully unwrapping a piece of gum.
Not rushing to eat it, she swallowed several times first until the taste faded before popping the gum in her mouth.
The old Megumi had disappeared.
This Megumi had, under Nanaya's conditioning, learned much more knowledge, touched and tasted far more information.
No longer did she feel the initial resistance or the mindset of sacrificing herself to protect her sister.
This Megumi...
was willing.
