Chapter 19 The Woman Who Doesn't Look Like an Aunt

The Woman Who Doesn’t Look Like an Aunt

Yesterday, remembering that Ichika would be home from school soon, Hana-san promised to come the next morning.

However, since she said she had some things to do before she left, Hana-san spent the whole morning cleaning the house today.

“Thank you. Thanks to you, it’s very clean.”

Before Hana-san came, the house was quite a mess. I’m not good at cleaning, and this house was originally lived in with my grandparents, so it was a little too big for me to handle by myself.

But now, thanks to Hana-san, it was a comfortable place.

“I’ll be careful, I might make a mess again when I’m alone.”

“I’ll keep coming to clean regularly…so don’t worry.”

I really appreciate her.

Thanks to Hana-san’s housework, I feel like my house has become so much more comfortable, so I’d really like to keep asking her to do it.

“But starting tomorrow, I can only come at night…sorry?”

Yesterday and today, Hana-san took some time off.

It seems that she was partly in shock about Takeshi, and asked for a favor from the office where she worked part-time.

As a substitute, she said she would work six days in a row starting tomorrow.

She’ll definitely be tired from work, but it looks like she’ll still drop by this house.

“No, no. It’s all right…In fact, I’m very happy just to see your face.”

“Oh my. I’m so happy…hehehe~ If Takumi-kun says so, even if it’s just a compliment, I’ll be happy to come over.”

I didn’t mean it as a compliment.

But Hana-san doesn’t seem to take my words too seriously.

“If you don’t mind with this Auntie, I’ll come over any time.”

I wonder if it’s something like Hana-san’s favorite phrase.

She calls herself Auntie…Actually, I always felt uncomfortable with that, so I decided to say it outright this time.

“I never thought of Hana-san as an aunt.”

“Again. Takumi-kun, you’re so good at this.”

“I’m not lying. Hana-san is very beautiful. You’re in your 30s, right? I think you’re still young.”

If I were to describe her appearance alone, I would say that she looks so young that it would never feel out of place even if she were said to be in her 20s, so I think her appearance can never be called an aunt. Her long wavy black hair suits her well, and her calm face is very soothing just to look at.

In addition, I think her…style is quite attractive. Although she is small in height, she has a wavy body. Her stomach and arms are very thin, but her br🬀🬀sts, hips, and thighs are very fleshy, so she seems to be quite popular with men.

…Come to think of it, I think Takeshi liked older, curvaceous women.

I think the reason for that is definitely Hana-san.

“Ta, Takumi-kun? Stop teasing Auntie…Even if you say I’m in my 30s, I’ll be 35 this year, you know.”

“No, no, I’m not teasing you.”

“…This is the end of it. It’s embarrassing to be teased by a man my son’s age.”

When I told her I meant what I said, Hana-san’s cheeks turned red and she looked away. I’ve been thinking for a while that…Hana-san might not be used to being praised. She gets embarrassed easily, and I thought she was kinda cute, even though she’s older than me.

I still think she’s a very kind person.

“If someone like Hana-san were my mother, I would be very happy.”

That’s why my true feelings leaked out.

It seems that my heartfelt thoughts had reached Hana-san’s ears as well.

“Oh my~…Thank you very much…I think it would be wonderful to have an honest son like Takumi-kun as my son, don’t you?”

Maybe Hana-san is happier with my words now than when I complimented her on her appearance.

With a big smile on her face, she hugged me tightly again.

“Huh, Hana-san?”

The soft touch enveloped me and I felt a little uncomfortable.

But since Hana-san hugged me so tightly, I couldn’t pull away.

“…Takumi-kun was better than Takeshi. If my son had been a son like you, who could recognize the kindness of others…I wouldn’t have regretted raising him.”

And at the whispered words——I felt such sweet pleasure that I thought my brain had melted.

Maybe I shouldn’t think about these things.

But the realization that I was better than Takeshi gave me so much pleasure that it was enough to close all the wounds I had——
