After the dinner buffet ended, we returned to our room.
The hotel food was really good.
Just thinking that we could eat it again tomorrow morning made me look forward to it.
As we were getting ready for bed, there was a knock on the door.
I quickly opened it to find Yuuka and Kaori standing there.
“What’s up? What are you doing here so late at night?” (Yuuto)
It was 9 PM. Lights-out was at 9:30 PM, so I wondered if something had happened.
“Sorry, I was trying to get Yuuka-chan to brush her teeth, but she brought her toothbrush all the way here.” (Kaori)
I see. So Yuuka came all this way because she wanted me to help her brush her teeth.
“Got it. Yuuka, come on in. I’ll help you brush your teeth.” (Yuuto)
As I said that, Yuuka cheerfully walked into the room.
Kaori came in looking apologetic and sat on the bed where Kouhei was sitting, watching the scene unfold.
“Alright, let’s get started. Lie down.” (Yuuto)
As I sat on my knees waiting for Yuuka, she immediately placed her head on my lap.
Yuuka opened her mouth and waited.
I started brushing her teeth just like that.
“Seeing it like this, you really do look like a dad.” (Kouhei)
“Totally. A dad who spoils his daughter way too much.” (Kaori)
I felt like Kouhei and Kaori were saying all kinds of things, but I decided to ignore them.
A few minutes later, I finished brushing Yuuka’s teeth and was catching my breath when Yuuka tugged on my sleeve.
“Now it’s my turn to brush Yuuto’s teeth.” (Yuuka)
That was sudden…
“I’ve already brushed mine, so I’m fine.” (Yuuto)
The moment I said that to Yuuka, she looked terribly disappointed.
Kaori quickly stepped in.
“Yuuka-chan, I haven’t brushed my teeth yet, so I’d like you to do it for me too.” (Kaori)
Yuuka made a face like “I guess I have no choice,” and gave Kaori a lap pillow.
“Yuuka-chan’s lap pillow is super soft and feels amazing.” (Kaori)
Kaori let that slip, and Yuuka smacked her on the head.
“Hey, Yuuka-chan, that hurts—sorry, okay? So stop hitting me!” (Kaori)
After that exchange, Yuuka finished brushing Kaori’s teeth.
Then she walked over to where I was relaxing on the bed.
“Yuuka, what is it? It’s about time you went back to your room to sleep, right?” (Yuuto)
I asked, but Yuuka crawled into my bed and immediately fell asleep.
“Ahh, Yuuka-chan’s already asleep… Should I give her a piggyback ride back?” (Kaori)
The moment Kaori said that, Yuuka hugged me tightly, wrapped her legs around me, and clung on so tightly there was no way to peel her off.
“Yuuka-chan, time to go back. You’re definitely still awake, right? You’re holding on way too strong!” (Kaori)
Kaori kept pulling at her.
“Sorry, it’s hurting me too—just give me a second.” (Yuuto)
Then I got up, and together with Kaori, we headed to the room where Yuuka was staying.
With Kaori and Kanemoto-san working together, they managed to pry Yuuka off, and the situation was safely resolved.
