Chapter 180 The Enemy Must Be Defeat
Shimizu was forced to be between two wives, and was hugged by them from the front and back.

The scene was like a battlefield filled with smoke, and war was about to break out.

How could Amamiya Iori bear to watch the two of them fighting for Shimizumi one after the other?

"The old man stench from you two will get on my dear!!"

At that moment, time stopped.

The two mothers froze as if they were being judged by God, and then spoke weakly.

"Yes, we are all old..."

“…That’s true.”

Looking at the two people laughing like a broken clock, Amamiya Iori snorted.

"Iori, what did you just do--"

"Some sacrifices had to be made to get my dear back."

Perhaps, Amamiya Iori is the most devilish person.

……

The hot pot banquet that was suddenly held ended just like that.

After saying goodbye to Amemiya Midori, Hoshino Akiko drove the drunk her back home.

Also, although I'm sorry that this happened so suddenly, Amamiya Iori plans to stay overnight at Shimizumi's house tonight.

"I really want to take a bath with my dear..."

Amemiya Iori was washing the dinner dishes in the kitchen while looking towards the bathroom - Shimizu Mi was taking a bath inside.

Since I was going to stay at Shimizumi's house, of course I wanted to stay with him as much as possible, and even hoped to do so in any place except the bathroom.

This is common, right?

Amamiya Iori thought so.

As if telling herself, Amemiya Iori convinced herself and began to look forward to the happiness of sleeping next to Shimizu Mi at night.

Although she was aware of her sudden burst of girlishness, she continued to wash the dishes.

"I say, Iori, what are you thinking about?"

"Ah ah!"

At some point, after sending Amemiya Midori home, Hoshino Akiko hugged the dazed Amemiya Iori from behind.

"Qiu, Aunt Qiuzi! I'm washing the dishes now!"

"Then why don't you stop what you are doing for a while and accompany me for a while."

"If you stop moving your hands, you'll never finish washing."

After Amamiya Iori said this, Hoshino Akiko paused for a moment, then continued:
"Iori, you really don't have to do this for me."

"It's okay. Auntie Akiko made dinner for me, so please let me do this little thing."

"Ah... I feel like I'll become a useless person if Iori is around. Shouldn't I remind Jian to be more careful?"

If my dear becomes a disabled person, I would totally welcome it... Amamiya Iori took it for granted.

If that's the case, then my dear will become inseparable from me, and I have to take care of her, right? Isn't that the happiest future?

"But I think Jian would never want to rely on others."

Hoshino Akiko said this with a big laugh.

Amamiya Iori also holds the same opinion.

She also knew that Shimizu would never continue to rely on her.

Rather, whenever she felt hard-working, Shimizu would come to share her burden, and if she had any troubles, Shimizu would worry, listen and discuss with her.

However, recently Amamiya Iori felt that Shimizu seemed to have something on his mind.

"……Honey."

"Iori, what's wrong with you?"

"Ah... no, it's okay."

Hoshino Akiko noticed the subtle changes in expression on Amemiya Iori's face.

Amemiya Iori tried hard to put on a smile and get away with it, but Hoshino Akiko took a can of beer from the refrigerator and opened it while looking at her.

"Is it about seeing?"

"..."

Amemiya Iori was slightly startled, then nodded.

"If you don't mind, you can talk to me. After all, I am also the mother of the meeting."

After a period of silence, Amamiya Iori said "Okay" and then spoke.

"Aunt Qiuzi, I always feel like my dear is hiding something from me... No, I should say he is carrying something on his own."

Unconsciously, Amamiya Iori stopped washing the dishes.

She had no idea what Shimizu was carrying, because it felt like no matter what she said, Shimizu would probably not tell her.

This made Amamiya Iori gradually feel uneasy.

"Yeah……"

Hoshino Akiko listened while chugging beer and nodding from time to time.

Although Amemiya Iori was a little worried about Amemiya Mido's ugly drunken appearance, Hoshino Akiko's alcohol tolerance was not that bad.

Then she continued:

"Aunt Qiuzi, what do you think I should do?"

Amemiya Iori looked at him for help. It was because Hoshino Akiko was Shimizu's mother that she understood him better than anyone else.

"what you mean?"

"Well... it's just that besides me, my dear's eyes seem to drift to other women inadvertently. Of course, I also know that my dear cares about me from the bottom of his heart, and I will always be with him, but..."

Amamiya Iori stopped because she couldn't express the pain in her heart. Just imagining that Shimizu might still care about other girls, her body began to ache.

Just like today after school, Shimizu Mi went a long way to the hospital to visit Sakurai Haruka.

Although Amamiya Iori didn't say anything, a faint shadow was actually looming over her in her heart.

"Obviously... leave everything to me, just look after me."

Although it was only a little bit, there was a hint of darkness in the eyes of Amamiya Iori as he lowered his head.

"Little Iori~"

“Eh…huh!?”

Hoshino Akiko put down the beer, walked around behind Amemiya Iori, and grabbed her plump breasts from both sides under her arms.

And she didn't just hug her, Hoshino Akiko also started to rub her unceremoniously.

"Yeah, our little Iori really isn't little at all. I'm so envious."

"Qiu, Aunt Qiuzi?"

Although Amamiya Iori was surprised because it was so sudden, she didn't feel disgusted because she was Shimizu Mi's mother.

"But just like this pair of breasts, it would be better if Iori-chan's brain became a little softer."

"Softer, a little softer?"

Hoshino Akiko sighed, took her hands off Amamiya Iori's body, and said with a smile:

"Little Iori, I remember I told you the story of my father before."

"...Yes, that's right." Amamiya Iori nodded.

"At the beginning, the father I met was very popular."

Hoshino Akiko looked like she was reminiscing about the past.

"Same as dear?"

Amemiya Iori tilted her head. Although she didn't know much about Hoshino Akiko's past, she had learned from her mother before that her mother also once liked Shimizu Mi's father.

"Haha, that's true. Jian is indeed very charming."

Amemiya Iori still didn't quite understand what Hoshino Akiko meant.

"Iori-chan, do you like to meet us?" "Of course!"

Amamiya Iori puffed out his chest and answered in a slightly louder voice.

"Yeah, that's a very good momentum."

"So, Iori-chan, how do you view your feelings for Jian?"

"I……"

Amamiya Iori opened his mouth but said nothing.

Personally, she didn't want Hoshino Akiko to know about this.

Because she didn't want Hoshino Akiko to think that her feelings for Shimizu Mi were pathological or too deep, and she didn't want Hoshino Akiko to have a bad impression of her because of it.

Because that kind of thing might affect their future.

"Iori-chan, isn't it nice to hope to get more love from Jian? Although I don't know what you are thinking exactly, since you like Jian, then it would be nice to be a little greedy."

"Aunt Qiuzi, is this really okay..."

Is it okay to want more of his love? Is it really okay to want more from him?
Amamiya Iori looked at Hoshino Akiko as if seeking an answer.

"Iori-chan, you have to know that enemies need to be defeated, but the most important thing is to hold onto Jian's heart. Otherwise, defeating as many enemies as possible will be meaningless, right?"

Hoshino Akiko took a big sip of beer and made these remarks like a veteran.

Her words made Amamiya Iori think.

In fact, Akiko Hoshino is more qualified than anyone else to say this.

After all, this was how she defeated Amemiya Mido, captured the heart of Shimizu Michi's father, and gave birth to Shimizu Michi with him.

You know, even now, Amemiya Mito is still a woman of stunning beauty, and her charm is truly beyond reproach.

Therefore, Hoshino Akiko's past is simply a path for Amamiya Iori.

Although it was a bit impolite, Amamiya Iori didn't want to be like her mother, who ended up as a loser and lost the one she loved.

"Grab...the heart..."

With blushing cheeks, Amamiya Iori placed her hands on her chest, feeling the beating heart and began to imagine.

Give him everything you have, and then get more love from him. Just thinking this way will make you extremely happy.

As expected, I can't live without my dear. I will never be able to live like that...

There is no doubt that Shimizu Mi is carrying something very heavy on his shoulders, so Amamiya Iori has to fill the void in his heart.

"But I also think that maybe you don't need to worry too much."

"……what?"

Amemiya Iori looked up and found Hoshino Akiko staring at her with gentle eyes.

From that look, Amamiya Iori could intuitively feel that Hoshino Akiko, who was staring at her, was truly a gentle mother.

"Because Jian still has little Iori by his side. Of course, there's me too, as well as the pink-haired little sister who used to live in our house, and many other people. But I think that in the end, everyone will definitely gather around Jian."

"And as for that child, no matter what happens, he will never leave you... I can be sure of that."

"My dear...you will never leave me..."

"Yes, of course it's not just Jian. I'm also always ready to lend a helping hand to Iori-chan. So you have to remember that no matter you or Jian, you are definitely not alone. You and he both have people you can rely on, so always keep this in mind."

"……OK."

Hoshino Akiko's words seemed to have saved Amemiya Iori's heart.

Well, I will definitely keep it in mind, Amamiya Iori said to himself.

"Okay Iori, time out."

"……what."

Hoshino Akiko tightly held Amemiya Iori's hand holding the bowl and plate.

Hoshino Akiko, who had been happily drinking beer just now, now stood beside Amamiya Iori and said in an undeniable tone:
"Although I asked you to help at the beginning, I'll do the rest. Iori, go and take a rest."

"But……"

"you go for rest."

"……Yes."

Although Amamiya Iori felt that Hoshino Akiko probably didn't mean that, the feeling of occasionally getting serious was still quite scary.

So, Amemiya Iori handed the remaining bowls and plates to Hoshino Akiko and stood aside.

"Grab... your heart..."

Amemiya Iori repeatedly pondered over what Hoshino Akiko had just said.

Maybe, unexpectedly it makes sense.

Looking at Amamiya Iori who was lowering his head in thought beside her, Hoshino Akiko smiled bitterly.

At this time, Hoshino Akiko had just finished washing the dishes. After drying her hands thoroughly, she took Amamiya Iori's hand.

"Let's go to the sofa. That's where I can hug Iori-chan."

"Uh……"

Amemiya Iori suddenly felt that something was wrong... Hoshino Akiko also seemed to be drunk.

Dear, please come back soon!

Although Amamiya Iori prayed like this, the scene of Shimizu enjoying a bath in the perfect temperature hot water appeared before her eyes.

The moment she sat down on the sofa, Hoshino Akiko suddenly hugged her shoulders tightly, and a strong smell of alcohol hit her nose.

"I stink of alcohol. I'm sorry."

"No, it's a little bit worrying, but it's okay. It's Auntie Akiko after all."

“…When I see you with that expression that says ‘I can’t help you’, I feel like I have to leave right away.”

"Just say it's okay."

Although there was nothing I could do about the smell of alcohol, it was also mixed with the scent of Hoshino Akiko.

And Hoshino Akiko is also Amamiya Iori's favorite person, so she also hugged Hoshino Akiko tightly.

"...Iori-chan, you're so cute."

Akiko Hoshino said "good boy, good boy" while touching Iori Amamiya's head, which reminded her of her childhood.

"I'm done. What are you guys...doing?"

Qing Shuijian, who had just come out of the bathroom after taking a shower, happened to see this scene.

"Welcome back, dear..."

Seeing that she had just come out of the bath, Amamiya Iori's face turned slightly red, like a ripe peach.

That... I'm sorry that I might say something perverted, but the way my dear's lower body is wrapped in a bath towel, her upper body is naked, showing her muscular lines, and she's wiping her hair with a towel is really sexy, and it makes my lower abdomen restless...

Looking at Shimizu who had just finished taking a bath, Amamiya Iori said secretly in his heart.

"Stop playing around, you two. Iori, it's time for you to take a shower."

"I see……"

Amemiya Iori nodded in response to Shimizumi and immediately stood up.

"By the way, Iori-chan, I'm going to get you a change of pajamas and underwear. I almost forgot."

"Well, thank you Aunt Qiuzi, then I'll go take a shower."

Just before Amemiya Iori left the living room, the sound of Shimizu Mi and Hoshino Akiko interacting was heard.

Shimizu Mitsuki sat on the sofa and turned on the TV. Hoshino Akiko leaned over and smelled her own body odor.

"what happened?"

"See, am I really that smelly?"

"You still care... there's nothing like that. You smell so good."

Although it was a bit strange to say this to her own mother, after hearing it, Akiko Hoshino smiled and felt much better.

"Dear and Auntie Qiuzi, it's really interesting."

Amamiya Iori smiled softly and walked towards the dressing room, took off her clothes, and entered the bathroom...
