Although work is something he really doesn't want to do.
But sometimes you have to admit one thing: after finishing work, life really does feel noticeably better.
Especially when a tired body has gone through a warm bath…
That soothing pleasure after exhaustion is eased…
Really, it feels so incredibly comfortable…
The middle-aged uncle, who had just climbed out of the Kamisato Estate's bathtub, used Anemo to blow his hair dry.
Anemo is only suitable for drying hair—and it's best done indoors while there's still residual heat in the room.
It's not recommended to use Anemo to remove moisture from the body, as it can easily cause a cold.
After changing into fresh clothes, the middle-aged uncle could finally lie down peacefully on the tatami mats in the Kamisato Estate's living room.
The night breeze is so refreshing…
Who knows what kind of scorching heat the middle-aged uncle had endured in broad daylight today…
Lying there, the middle-aged uncle took small sips of the cool water the Kamisato Estate had already prepared.
At times like this, don't talk about drinking more hot water.
Sometimes, drinking a cup of cooled plain boiled water without worrying about health is also one of life's little pleasures!
Speaking of which, the middle-aged uncle found it a bit strange about himself.
He actually doesn't drink beverages very often.
But drinking water gives him the same feeling as drinking a beverage.
The taste of water is actually different in every place.
Mm… suddenly he felt like he could probably have a lot to talk about with that Iudex Neuvillette from Fontaine.
The middle-aged uncle was lying in a very relaxed and contented manner, completely turning into a flat, salted fish.
He closed his eyes, feeling the coolness of the floor and the sea breeze that carried a faint salty taste…
Oh, and also the little "mew mew mew" fox-like sounds coming from Kirara beside him…
Seriously, Kirara, you need to learn to say "nya nya"…
At this moment, little Ayaka had just come out of her parents' room.
Mmm…
Father had sent her out again as usual…
Little Ayaka wasn't too bothered by it, though she did feel a tiny bit disappointed that she couldn't sleep together with her parents.
Mm… let's go find the middle-aged uncle to play!
Little Ayaka arrived at the entrance to the living room and quickly spotted the middle-aged uncle sprawled out on the tatami mats in a big "大" shape.
Oh, and Kirara lying curled up beside his waist.
"Old uncle, I heard you met Her Excellency the Raiden Shogun today…"
Little Ayaka noticed that the middle-aged uncle didn't respond at this moment. She then lay down and crawled over to his side.
Mm… there was a very faint snoring sound…
It seemed the middle-aged uncle was truly exhausted today. He had fallen asleep right on the tatami mats without even covering himself with a blanket.
Little Ayaka felt a little bored, but as a good child of the Kamisato Clan, she couldn't wake the middle-aged uncle up.
"But come to think of it… Mother does it like this, right?"
Little Ayaka stood up, then ran out of the living room on her short little legs. When she came back, she was holding a picture book of fairy tales.
She then knelt beside the middle-aged uncle, reached out to gently lift the head of the soundly sleeping middle-aged uncle, and slowly slid her own thighs underneath as a pillow.
After that, she opened the fairy tale book, made a selection, and began little Ayaka's bedtime fairy tale session.
"On a clear and sunny day, there was a monkey walking along the road. As it walked, it suddenly felt very, very hungry, so while walking, it thought to itself…"
Halfway through the story, little Eula had finished taking care of her hair and headed toward the living room.
Hm? Is someone telling a story?
Little Eula peeked in from the doorway and watched the scene.
At this moment, little Ayaka was still completely immersed in the atmosphere of storytelling.
