I just hope to live a leisurely life in the world of anime.

"Heh, it's no use!" An Shu didn't see her expression, shook her head, and reached out to wipe the sweat from her forehead. "Besides, if we're talking about heat, I'm hotter than you! After all, you don't have a Tong-chan hanging on you."

"Huh?" The little girl paused for a moment, intending to leave, but then suddenly remembered that her little girl had been acting a bit strange lately!

"Hey! You can't count Hitomi-chan by the number of individuals!"

Before the little girl could speak, the little girl interrupted, lifting her chin from An Shu's shoulder and snapping at him.

However, her cute expression, which didn't have any intimidating power, was immediately pinched by An Shu.

"If not, could you please get off me for a moment, Hitomi-chan? I'm so hot..."

"No!" Imitating the little girl, the little girl puffed out her cheeks, shook her head, shook off An Shu's hand, and continued to lean back on An Shu's shoulder, holding his right hand, which he was holding in his arms, even tighter.

“Brother Anshu…” Seeing the two arguing, the little girl stroked her chin and assumed a thoughtful posture, “Have you noticed that Tong-chan seems a little different lately…”

"Hmm, is that so?" An Shu poked the little girl's cheek playfully, not forgetting to reply to her.

"Yes!" The little girl nodded firmly, looking at the squinting loli. "These past few days, Hitomi-chan seems to be very clingy to you! She's been quite clingy before, but it feels a bit excessive lately."

“So, when you put it that way…” An Shu looked at the ceiling, thought for a moment, and nodded along with the little girl, “That’s true! Even on such a hot day, she’s still clinging to me…”

As he spoke, he swung his right arm, making the little girl sway.

"Is Hitomi-chan going through a clingy phase?" the little girl asked curiously, looking at the loli.

The little girl repeated the phrase "clingy phase" with some confusion, then shook her head again, indicating that she knew what it meant.

"It's just that kids go through a certain phase where they become really clingy! That's how Tong-chan is right now." The little girl stood up, walked around the glass table, went to An Shu's other arm, and hugged his left hand. "An Shu-gege knows that, right?"

"Hmm...that's true. Children can be very clingy at certain times...they want to know everything their parents are doing and where they're going, and they don't want to be apart from them for even a moment..."

"Tong-chan isn't a little kid!" the little girl muttered discontentedly, rubbing the fine sweat from her forehead onto An Shu in retaliation.

"Yes, Hitomi-chan is a big girl now! So, Hitomi-chan can..."

"Do not!"

"Well..." Unable to do anything with the little girl, An Shu turned her head and looked at the one hanging on her other hand.

"Tch, what are you looking at me for! I don't want to hug Brother Anshu! I'm hot too! Ugh!" The little girl glared at her, saying this, but hugged him even tighter.

An Shu rolled her eyes, knowing that she was trying to tease her again.

"This doesn't count as being tsundere, since tsundere is about enjoying the physical pleasure while complaining verbally. But to me, you look like you're about to die from the heat."

"Eh, really?" The little girl tilted her head in confusion. "But how did Brother Anshu know that I don't enjoy it? I like Brother Anshu so much!"

So you're enjoying it right now?

"No! Hehehe~" The little girl stood up, and seeing An Shu's hand trying to grab her from behind, she quickly dodged to the side and made a face, "Silly girl~"

"Hmph~" Having gained the upper hand, she turned and ran away without waiting for An Shu's response.

"What is this..." An Shu sighed. He suddenly realized that his girls always gave him endless sighs. Like this one who was still clinging to him.

He raised his hand again and shook it... well, it still wouldn't come off.

"call……"

###Chapter 579 Summer Night###

night.

"Even when we sleep, do we have to hold each other?" An Shu lay on the big bed, enjoying the cool summer breeze unique to the night, and helped the little girl lying on top of him to lift her long hair.

Hmm... perhaps "climbing" isn't the right word; it's more like she's sandwiching me between her legs right now...

Honestly, Anshu would really enjoy it in winter.

After all, in cold weather, having a warm "pet" lying on you would feel comfortable, right?

If it were summer... well, especially in the summer when there's a power outage.

She clings to me while I eat, while I walk, and even while I wash up. I finally manage to get her off me for a moment by using the excuse of going to the bathroom, but as soon as I come out, she pounces on me again...

"Awoo~ Hmph~" The little girl lowered her throat and tried to let out a soft "threatening roar," then rubbed against An Shu's shoulder and closed her eyes contentedly, knowing what she was trying to express.

But that didn't stop An Shu from playing with her. He patted the little girl's head, feigning displeasure, and said, "Meow!"

"Ugh!~"

"Meow!"

"Awoo!"

"Meow! Meow!"

"Aww...mmm, meow~"

"Mmm, Hitomi-chan is such a good girl~"

Hearing her change to a different "roaring style," An Shu, as if rewarding her, reached out and gently touched her head where she had just been hit, praising her. This made the little girl even happier.

I must find a way to solve this weather problem tomorrow, or I might die.

My back is sticky with sweat... even though I just took a bath before bed last night!

An Shu tilted her head and looked at the other sleeping girls.

That's why they always seem to have endless things to sigh about. It's not that he can't handle things like a power outage, but as they've said, if everything were solved immediately, life wouldn't feel like life anymore!

It's like if they have a minor illness like a cold, even though I know it hurts me to see them coughing, I won't let him cure them.

However, An Shu strongly agrees with this statement. That kind of life is indeed meaningless.

Hmm, okay...

As a result, the heat caused my thoughts to wander.

An Shu was thinking about how to trick the little girl into coming down so she could get some sleep when she suddenly noticed out of the corner of her eye that the blue-haired girl next to her had opened her eyes.

"Is Remlin also too hot to sleep?" An Shu asked softly, trying hard to keep her eyes from wandering. A thin sheet was covering her navel, but her only short vest was showing.

"Um..."

An Shu received a gentle response from the little maid. He stroked her head and looked at the other two who were really fast asleep. He felt a little envious, envious that they could sleep so soundly.

Well, besides the little maid, there were only two other people with them. The other one went to the next room.

And speaking of this, the topic seems to have returned to the beginning: it's too hot to sleep, how to get the little girl on top of me to get off me obediently?

"..."

Hmm, it seems unlikely.

Come to think of it, my little girl seems to have really entered a clingy phase, but she's already legally married and not a child anymore! Why is she still going through this clingy phase?

Well, you don't even need to think about it to know the answer to this kind of question, since mental age never changes.

The reason I'm thinking about this is because it's so hot that I can't sleep at all, so that's why I'm thinking about it. Hmm.

I've started to overthink things.

Do I have heatstroke? I don't think so, right?

Unable to sleep, and with the sweltering heat making him restless, the sticky dampness on his back made An Shu want to turn over, but he couldn't because of the little girl. This made An Shu start to get bored, and strange thoughts began to pop into his head.

Lost in thought for a moment, An Shu sighed again... Ugh, no, sighing makes me age faster, I need to control it! Even though I won't age...

An Shu shook his head. It seemed that unless the little girl on top of him was asleep, he wouldn't have a chance to get her off.

"Hmm, why is Remlin staring at me?"

An Shu's hand, which had been stroking her head, gradually slid down and instead pinched her cute cheek.

“Master…cute…uhhh! Eh, oh dear, did Rem just say something rude? Uh…please don’t be angry with Rem, Master!” The little maid, who had been subconsciously muttering a reply to Anshu, immediately woke up and hurriedly explained.

An Shu found it quite amusing. She often teased the little maid like this, trying to coax her into speaking so that she could have a legitimate reason to "bully" her.

Yes, even seeing her blush and bewildered makes me happy!

Just like... right now!

"...Ooh!" the little maid exclaimed in surprise. She felt a blur before her eyes and then found herself on top of the little girl, sandwiched between An Shu and the little girl.

"Since Hitomi doesn't want to come down, I'll just make her faint from the heat and then let her down! Hmm, Remlin will help me, right?"

"Hmm..." The little maid bit her lower lip and made a nasal sound to indicate that there was no problem. Then she buried her face next to the little girl's head to prevent the little girl from seeing her expression.

Making the little girl faint from the heat is just an excuse, of course. As for what her master's purpose is... it's probably something like this.

The little maid lowered her eyes, not daring to make a sound. The little girl also remained silent, whether she was sulking with An Shu or had truly fallen asleep, it was unclear.

Summer nights are always unexpectedly harmonious and peaceful.

At times like these, one usually has a good dream sooner.

An Shu held them both firmly with her free hand and closed her eyes.

###Chapter 580 Morning###

We have to think of a solution!

Although the power will be restored today, there is still no notification about the exact time.

5:30.

Yes, it's early morning.

An Shu, forced to get up early because of the heat, glanced at the wall clock, rubbed her sore eyes, and slowly lifted the little girl off her. Without disturbing her, she carefully climbed out of bed.

I'd better take a shower first.

Sitting on the edge of the bed, An Shu hooked her toes, casually picked up a pair of slippers, and swayed to the wardrobe, where she picked out a change of clothes.

"Speaking of which, where did little Rem go?" An Shu suddenly turned her head to look at the big bed behind her, but the little maid was not on it.

At this hour, it's far too early to get up and cook.

"Huh?" While pondering, An Shu suddenly paused, because she heard a faint sound of running water coming from the bathroom.

"Emmm... Hmph~"

With a slight upturn of her lips, An Shu quickened her pace with ill intent, thinking about how to trick her into opening the door. But when she reached the back door, she paused for a moment and realized that the bathroom door was not closed properly.
