After my divorce, I became a Tokyo literary giant

Chapter 68: Ryoko is outside the door, and the eldest sister and ex-husband are in the bathtub.

The bathroom was filled with hot steam and the sound of water was very tempting.

The soft light fell on Maki Saionji's exposed skin, casting a sparkling glow.

Tazaki Saku leaned against her with his back, his eyes half closed, and he looked very comfortable.

This can be said to be the ultimate enjoyment.

Ryoko had washed so many times before, but none of them were as pleasant as this time. It turns out that bigness is justice.

"Tsk!"

Maki Saionji's breathing was disordered and her cheeks were red.

At this moment, she was feeling very embarrassed and annoyed, thinking, aren’t you going out to attend the salon? Why are you still soaking in the bath?
"The technique is a bit lacking." Tazaki Saku commented slowly.

"Bah~!"

Saionji Maki spat softly, biting her lower lip as she reluctantly scrubbed his body, which resembled a majestic ancient Greek sculpture. In her mind, she couldn't help but compare him with himself eight years ago, thinking that the biggest advantage a mature man has over a young boy is indeed his muscles...

Speaking of...

Thinking of this, she moved the water as if possessed by a ghost.

The foam floating on the water surface rolled up waves, making the water even more turbid.

Well, I can't see it at all.

For a moment, Maki Saionji didn't know whether to be happy or regretful.

"How long do you plan to stop washing?" Tazaki Saku suddenly asked.

Saionji Maki's face was dripping with blood.

It's red and hot, and feels like it's on fire.

"As a maid, you must understand your master's thoughts and not let your master dictate everything." Tazaki Saku said lightly.

Hearing this, Saionji Maki twitched the corners of her mouth, raised her little fist and waved it twice above his head.

"Hurry up." Tazaki Saku urged.

"Let me wash your hair first..." Maki Saionji couldn't refuse and could only delay as much as possible.

I wet his hair with water, squeezed out shampoo, and gently combed his head with two small hands. My fingertips gently scratched his scalp, which felt both itchy and comfortable.

It feels really good...

After washing his hair, Maki Saionji turned on the shower to help him rinse off the foam, then wrapped his head with a large towel and dried it.

She did all these very slowly, as if trying to delay as much time as possible.

It’s best to just drag it to the salon and start.

"Do you think I don't know your little thoughts?" Tazaki Saku asked with a smile.

"No, I didn't." Saionji Maki quickly denied it and continued to delay, "Let me help you clean your ears."

As she said this, without waiting for Taki's answer, she pulled out a strand of hair, folded it in half, and slowly put it into his ear hole.

At this moment, Tazaki Saku's body tensed slightly. As her hair spun in her ears, the itchy feeling made him feel indescribably comfortable, and even his tailbone felt a little numb.

"Gently, gently..." he shouted subconsciously.

The sound was a little panicky, as if the person was afraid of hurting his ears.

Maki Saionji was stunned for a moment and thought that he was actually a little cute when he begged for mercy.

Then I came to my senses and cursed myself in my heart for being possessed by the devil, for actually thinking this bastard was cute.

"Don't move." With a sense of revenge, Maki Saionji held the back of his head with one hand and kept picking his ears with her hair.

Tazaki Saku's body tensed even more.

The feeling of foreign objects invading the ear hole will make people instinctively feel nervous and scared, after all, this is the place closest to the brain.

The feeling of having my ears cleaned was like a small insect had burrowed into my brain and was now slowly crawling along the lines and grooves on the surface of my brain...

But it feels very comfortable once you get used to it.

As his hair was stroked, Tazaki Saku felt as if his head was melting. His tense body completely relaxed. He lay lazily against Saionji Maki, allowing her to do whatever she wanted with his ears.

Maki Saionji, who was hugging him from behind, could clearly feel him relaxing.

And feeling a bit sleepy.

This made her feel thankful from the bottom of her heart.

Sleep, sleep, so she can escape from the clutches of the devil...

In order to make Tazaki Saku fall asleep quickly, Saionji Maki even lowered her head, put her lips to his ear hole and blew gently, her voice soft and gentle: "Go to sleep, little baby, mommy will help you clean your ears..."

Warm breath penetrated into my ears.

Double the comfort!
Tazaki Saku couldn't help but yawn, and his head felt a little dizzy.

"Go to sleep."

Maki Saionji continued to coax him to sleep in his ear.

She has a little experience in this area, although she hasn't used it for a long time...

"You are the cutest when you are asleep. Mommy loves you the most..."

This tone of voice filled with deep maternal love made Tazaki Saku's ears soft, his body too lazy to move, and his mind too lazy to think. He just wanted to sleep well in this soft embrace.

At this moment, he suddenly heard Ryoko's voice, as if she was calling "sister".

My eyes, which had been closed, opened blearily, and I saw the oak tree outside the ventilation window.

The oak leaves were sparse and the light could not reach the place, but there seemed to be a faint voice of a woman talking.

But the sound is out of tune, undoubtedly an auditory hallucination.

Just as he was about to close his eyes again, the sound became a little louder.

"Sister, why did you lock the door? You never locked it before when you took a shower..."

This time, the sound brought Tazaki Saku back to his senses and he sat up suddenly.

Saionji Maki: “……?”

The current situation makes her want to commit suicide.

Ryoko, who was outside the door, didn't get a response for a long time. She felt a little confused and asked again: "Sister, aren't you in there? Is it Tadaki? Hello, is anyone there? Say something, or I'll call the police..."

In the bathtub, Maki Saionji patted Tazaki Saku, signaling him to answer quickly.

Tazaki Saku said nothing and pinched it with his backhand.

"what!"

Caught off guard, Saionji Maki screamed.

The next second, she quickly covered her mouth, her eyes filled with horror.

But it's too late.

Ryoko, who was outside the door, heard her sister's voice, frowned slightly, and said with some displeasure: "Sister, why don't you answer me in there!"

"I, I... I was washing my hair just now, so I didn't hear clearly." Maki Saionji tried her best to suppress her panic.

She had to stay calm and not show any signs of abnormality, otherwise if Ryoko saw her bathing with her husband, her face would be completely ruined...

"Be quiet, don't let her find out."

Tazaki Saku whispered something in her ear, then picked her up and placed her on his lap.

Now, the two of them were naked, facing each other, and talking to each other honestly.

Saionji Maki covered her face in despair. Then, the next second, the chill on her chest made her react suddenly, and she quickly lowered her hands and crossed them over her chest.

But it's no use.

How can I resist it with just one arm!

Not only can it not be blocked, this half-covered look actually makes her look even more charming.

"Sister, please open the door. I have something to discuss with you." Ryoko said at the door.

"No, just talk about it at the door." Saionji Maki tried to keep her tone calm, but her face was as red as a ripe peach.

Ryoko felt a little strange, but didn't think much about it.

There's no way Tadaki is in there too.

The eldest sister has a bad temper and has always looked down on Taki, so she would never allow such a thing to happen.

"Taki and I have been in a cold war for a long time, and we have no intention of reconciling. Do you think we should divorce him at this time..." Ryoko spoke carefully.

"No, no divorce!"

The eldest sister's tone seemed a little excited.

"Didn't you always want me to get a divorce?" Ryoko asked curiously.

“…The past is the past!”

"Why can't we leave now?"

"I didn't understand him before and thought he was useless. Now I realize that he actually has quite a few advantages." The eldest sister said calmly.

Ryoko, who was standing outside the door, had a very strange look on her face.

If she hadn't heard this voice since she was a child, she would have suspected that the person inside was not her eldest sister.

Of course, she was sure that the person inside was her eldest sister.

But she would never have imagined that her elder sister was sitting naked on the lap of her ex-husband who was also naked and talking to her.

"What are his advantages?" Ryoko asked curiously.

"Of course there are, and there are many, many more." Saionji Maki suppressed her uneasiness, her heart beating faster than ever. "Handsome and healthy, gentle and considerate, serious about his work, and very smart..."

She praised Tazaki Saku as if it were free.

This made Tazaki Saku laugh.

In the past, she had tried to separate him and Ryoko whenever she had the chance.

Now that the opportunity has come to her, she turns around and defends him.

Being rude at first but respectful later makes people laugh.

"Besides, he's also very business-savvy." Saionji Maki definitely didn't want to lose Tazaki Saku, so she immediately praised him to her sister. "Aobasha's sales skyrocketed last month, and he's the biggest contributor. Everyone in the company praises him..."

Listening to her talking, Tazaki Saku had nothing to do, so he splashed water on her body with his hands.

Handful after handful of hot water poured over my body.

The feeling of hot water sliding down her skin was like a caress, making Saionji Maki tremble.

At this moment, she was honest with Tazaki Saku, and the sight of her sister still outside the door made her feel ashamed and tormented like never before.

Outside the bathroom door, Ryoko heard her elder sister praising Tsukuru Tadaki. Her doubts grew and she couldn't help asking, "Even if Tsukuru and I divorce, it won't affect his continued work for the publishing house."

"...That's different. As long as they're not divorced, they're family!" Saionji Maki said firmly.

"It's you who wants to leave, and it's you who doesn't want to leave. Sister, I'm a living person, and I have my own ideas, okay?"

"...I was wrong before, okay?"

When Ryoko heard this, she looked surprised.

As far as she could remember, she had almost never seen her sister admit her mistakes, and this seemed to be the first time she had encountered such a thing.

What's going on?
Could it be that the rumors in Aoba Society about my sister having an affair with her ex-husband are completely unfounded...

Ryoko pondered for a moment and said tentatively, "Actually, I want to divorce him and give the opportunity to another woman."

"...How can I let my husband give in!" Maki Saionji immediately shouted loudly.

Panic, Tazaki Saku felt that this woman was a little panicked.

Of course, Maki Saionji had reason to panic.

The second sister, Ryoko, is extremely intelligent and has always been known as a talented woman since she was a child. She must have noticed something when she said this.

"Ryoko, listen to me!" Saizonoji Maki's voice was full of majesty and the style of a head of the family. "There are only three women in our Saizonoji family now, and there is not even a man who can stand on his own. I am old and have no men I like. I have no plans to get married in this life. I am still young and cannot bear the responsibility of continuing the offspring. I am also planning to let Tadaki change his surname and marry into our family, so that you can quickly give birth to descendants of the Saizonoji family..."

Hearing her say these words, Tazaki Saku found it a little funny.

Before, he was not even willing to let him enter the family, but now he actually wants him to marry into the family. This is what it means to be rude at first and respectful later.

When Ryoko, who was outside the door, heard her elder sister say that Tazaki should marry into the family, her eyes couldn't help but flash a bit of sadness... It would have been great if Tazaki had been allowed to marry into the family from the beginning, but now the divorce has lasted for several months, what's the point of saying these things?
She couldn't possibly beg her ex-husband to get back together, could she?
Impossible, her personality is not much different from that of her elder sister, how could she possibly ask her ex-husband for help?

"Oh, it would be great if you had thought so from the beginning." The second sister sighed, her voice a little low.

"It's not too late now..." Maki Saionji breathed slightly.

"It's too late. I think Tazaki has fallen in love with someone else." Ryoko said in a gloomy tone.

"……How can it be!"

"Really? Listen to me, he seems to have fallen in love with strong women recently. I heard from his best friend Watanabe Nagasawa that he and that woman have been going out together lately."

Saionji Maki didn't dare to speak.

The ex-wife's voice continued to be heard outside the door. Tazaki Saku continued to explore Saionji Maki's back and accidentally touched the waist.

I wonder if this is the same for Maki and Ryoko...

With the idea of giving it a try, Tazaki Saku's fingertips rested on the edge of Saionji Maki's waist, and he raised his fingertips and poked them in the middle.

"ah!"

Maki Saionji tensed up.

"He seems to have always liked mature women..." Ryoko continued.

"Okay, stop imagining that." Saionji Maki raised her voice, almost scolding, "Taki can't be cheating!"

Hearing this, Ryoko's heart suddenly darkened.

Yes, it's impossible for Duoqi to cheat. Even if there is something, she and he are divorced, so she can't do anything about it...

"Sister~"

The voice suddenly sounded a little lost.

"What's wrong?" Saionji Maki frowned.

"I really liked him before. From the moment he stepped into the activity room, I had a good impression of him..." Ryoko recalled the past and talked about her experience with her ex-husband from the time they met to the time they fell in love.

That tone always makes me feel like I'm about to cry.

After hearing this, Saionji Maki felt both distressed and guilty...

When her sister said in a nostalgic voice, "We officially confirmed our relationship on the first Christmas we knew each other," she finally couldn't help it, she let out a long breath, tried her best to suppress the trembling of her body, and then suddenly clenched her fists and hit Tazaki Saku's head.

"You're so bad, so bad! Where did you learn such a dirty trick..."

"Of course I learned it from Ryoko."

Just one simple sentence made Saionji Maki feel ashamed and embarrassed.

…An extremely strange feeling continued to grow, multiplying in her heart as quickly as mold, making her feel increasingly uneasy.
