After a while, Hajime arrived, and Rihito then introduced him and the other girls.
"I see, thank you as well, for saving my daughter," Remia thanked Hajime.
Hajime shook his head, "No need, even before I did anything, Rihito had already secured Myu."
"Still, I am grateful," Remia bowed.
Hajime, feeling awkward, changed the topic, "Rihito, we should get going, it's getting late. We need to find an inn as well."
"Right," agreeing with him, I stood up, ready to say goodbye.
Right then, Remia suggested, "Excuse me, if you don't mind, you all can just stay here. My house has plenty of rooms, enough for all of you."
Hearing that, I paused and looked at others for their opinion. They just looked at me and shrugged, leaving the choice to me.
I looked back at Remia and tried to decline politely. "It's fine, we don't want to trouble you, and also, you just reunited with Myu. I don't want to be a hindrance to that."
Hearing that, Remia responded smiling, "Hinderance? What are you talking about? You are my benefactor. You have done me a great favour, which I will never be able to repay you in a lifetime. Using my house as a resting place for my benefactor is the least I can do. If you wish, I would do anything to repay you."
"..."
Rihito paused, ignored the last part, and tried to think of a way to deny her.
Remia, anticipating Rihito's thought, spoke, "I am sure Myu would like you to stay with us."
"Isn't that right, Myu?" Remia said to her half-sleepy daughter.
Myu woke up still half asleep, rubbing her eyes. "Papa, are you going somewhere?"
"..."
Myu slowly walked and stretched her arms. A gesture to pick her up.
I took her in my arms, as she rubbed her cheeks on my shoulder, finding a comfortable sleeping position.
Remia, seeing Myu clinging to Rihito, smiled wryly.
"Oh dear, it seems Myu doesn't want you to leave. But if you still insist, I can't stop you."
Remia gets closer to Rihito, tries to take Myu in her arms, "come here, Myu, Papa has to leave. He can't stay much longer."
"I don't wannaaa…" Myu clung to Rihito with her dear life, resisted and refused to let go.
"Papa, don't go," Myu, now awake, started to bawl her eyes.
"Sniff, sniff"
Seeing Myu cry, Rihito instantly gave up, "It's ok, Myu. I am not going anywhere. I will stay by your side."
Myu, sniffling, asked, "Promise?"
"Ah, well, maybe I might have to leave for a few days, but I promise, I will be back. It's a promise." Rihito gently said, trying not to make her cry even more.
"Mmmhh…" With a sob, she wrapped her hands around my neck and again went to sleep.
[Guess that was a yes.] Rihito thought.
"Ufufu… it seems you have made your decision," Remia said with an innocent smile.
Rihito looked at her with an annoyed glare. Which said, 'I know what you did.'
"Oh my, if you stare at me like that, you will make me blush," Remia brushed off the glare with a flirty tone.
At that moment, Rihito wanted to leave. His gut told him staying would be troubling, but then again, he remembered the promise he had just made.
Rihito slumped his head and looked at Hajime, "Guess we are staying here."
Hajime looked at Rihito with an emotionless expression. "Not we, it's you."
Rihito looked at hajime with confusion, "huh?"
Hajime looked away and spoke, "Before I came here, I had already booked an inn for us with the guild master's help, and it was easy."
"So," I said.
"So, I guess this is goodbye. I will see you tomorrow," Hajime said and turned around, leaving me, followed by Yue, Tio and Kaori with a sorry smile.
"See you tomorrow," said Kaori before leaving the door."
"..."
Rihito, with Myu in his arms, couldn't even slouch, afraid of awakening Myu.
He then looked at the girls who had left the decision to him.
"Guess we are staying here."
Hearing him, the girls didn't respond, just staring at him.
Rihito, mentally exhausted, looked at Remia. "So, where are we staying?"
Before that, let's have dinner.
The whole dinner happened in an awkward atmosphere. Shea, Shizuku, and Tohru did not say anything, while Remia constantly attempted to flirt, mentally exhausting him.
After dinner was done, Remia guided us to our rooms.
On the way there, Remia sees him so defeated, giggling, "Yes, please, this way."
"I will guide Papa," Myu ran ahead.
Stopping in front of a particular room, Myu excitedly said, "Papa, let's sleep together. I want to sleep with both Mama and Papa."
"Oh my, I don't mind. It's only natural for Mama and Papa to sleep together, right?" Remia agrees, her flirtatious smile on display.
"Yeah, let's sleep together," Myu cheered.
"Let sleep, let sleep, let sleep"
[This is getting out of hand now.] Rihito, at this point, is tired and doesn't want to deal with this shit. Lucky for him, he was not the only one.
Shea, Shizuku and Tohru had enough standing; all three grabbed Rihito in a protective hug.
"Rihito, I think we should join Hajime and find an inn," Shea said, warily looking at Remia. She has been observing Remia and came to the conclusion she is dangerous.
Shizuku, hugging from the other side, rebuked, "Miss Remia, what are you saying? That's an inappropriate thing to say to a man. Especially in front of his fiancés." Shizuku, also observing, came to a similar conclusion.
"Yeah, that's right. If he is sleeping with someone, it's me," Tohru added her two sense.
Rihito, seeing all this drama had enough. Right now, his patience was running thin. He can't take any more of this.
"Enough!" With a roar, Rihito used
All the girls were caught off guard, their eyes glazed over, and they fell unconscious.
Rihito, with a completely exasperated face, rubbed his forehead.
"Sigh."
Rihito first took Myu and put her in Remia's room. Then, one by one, he took Shea, Shizuku and Tohru into one of the rooms prepared.
And then finally, Remia's turn came, like everyone else, Rihito picked her up and headed to her room. While heading there, he spoke, "You know, I was fine till you flirted, but anything more than that, where I draw the line."
I then placed her next to Myu and draped a duvet over them.
I was about to leave, but suddenly the hem of my T-shirt was grabbed, and a sobbing voice came, "Please don't leave me…"
I looked back, noticing the tears streaks flowing, "Come back, please." She murmured in her sleep.
"A nightmare?" I grabbed her hand from my hem, placed it back and then wiped her tears.
"Sigh, I don't know who you think of when looking at me. Whoever it is, I am not him," Rihito got up and left for his separate room.
…
Next Day Morning…
Remia, waking up from her sleep, saw the familiar roof of her room. She was confused. Did she sleep? When did she sleep? She can't remember. She tried to recall. After she teased Rihito, she guided them to the room and then, then… but can't remember anything after that, it's a blank. She then looked around the room and saw that no one was there.
Remia, with a twist in her stomach, got up and searched around the house and found none of them here. Everything was pristine and clean.
Seeing her house empty, Remia had a bad feeling, it was as if all that had happened the previous day was a dream.
"Please no, please don't be a dream," she desperately wished and ran outside and came across a scene that calmed her desperate heart.
"You can do this, Myu, a little bit more, he ho.. He ho," Rihito said, jogging beside her.
"Yeah, he ho.. he ho," Myu determinedly continued the jog and reached the end.
Rihito, seeing her complete the run, praised her, "Good job, Myu. Take a 10-minute break, and after that, we will continue with the exercises."
"Huff, huff, O-okay," Myu said tiredly.
Remia, seeing them all sweaty and tired, wondered, What are they doing?
"You are finally awake," Shea said, garbed in workout clothes. It was not just her; Shizuku and Tohru also wore similar outfits while exercising.
Remia, seeing them, asked, "Umm… what are they doing?"
"Exercising?" Shea looked at the confused woman.
"Ah, I don't mean that. I mean, why is Myu exercising so early in the morning?" Remia asked.
"Yeah, about that…" Shea tried to explain. But before she could, Rihito spoke.
"It's because a while back, Myu asked me to train her," responded Rihito.
"Eh? Myu did!?" Remia said in a shocked tone.
"Yes, I guess after being captured by slavers. She found how helpless she was. After that, anyone would seek strength, so she asked me to train her," I explained.
"But will she be alright? She is just a little girl; will it not be too strenuous for Myu?" Remia asked worriedly.
"You don't need to worry about that. For now, her training consists of basics like running and normal stretching exercises, which are nothing that a child can't handle. Also, I've been keeping an eye on her health," I said, with a serious look.
Whenever Rihito begins Myu's training, he constantly scans her health for any anomaly. Until now, he hadn't found any, but still, he had to keep his eyes out.
Remia stared at Rihito and smiled, "I see, I don't have to worry about anything. Rihito-papa had already taken care of everything."
Rihito sees her trying to tease him again, rolls his eyes and ignores her, "Myu, let's start with the exercises."
"Ok," Myu gets up.
"Alright 1, 2, 3…"
Remia sees them busy, smiles and decides to prepare breakfast. She is sure they will be hungry after they are done.
