"...Big Brother Mirai." Her voice was very small. "You just... touched my belly for a long time."
"That was to untie the seal, not touching." Mirai withdrew his hand, his tone serious.
"...Oh." Yugito gave a soft response, pulling the hem of her pajamas down to cover her belly, though the blush on her face did not completely fade.
Mirai casually added a few reinforcement techniques to the seal—
To prevent Matatabi from acting up later when experiencing "emotional instability"—
Then stood up and rubbed her hair. "Alright, get some good sleep, Konan will be back to keep you company in a moment."
"Mn..." Yugito burrowed under the covers, leaving only half her face exposed. "Good night, Big Brother Mirai."
"Good night."
Mirai gently pulled the door shut and returned to his own room.
When he pushed the door open, he saw Kushina already lying under the covers, with Konan leaning over the bedside talking to her.
Seeing Mirai enter, Konan climbed down from the bedside with some reluctance, shuffling outward in her slippers. As she reached the door, she looked back at Mirai.
"Big Brother Mirai... I want to sleep with you..."
"Not tonight, Yugito needs someone to keep her company over there." Mirai squatted down and rubbed her hair. "Go sleep with her, I'll play with you tomorrow."
"...Okay then." Konan nodded, waved at Kushina, and said, "Good night, Big Sister Kushina!"
Then she walked out, looking back once more when she reached the door. She seemed about to speak, but in the end, she gently closed the door.
The room grew quiet.
Mirai crawled under the covers, and Kushina turned over, facing away from him.
"...Hmph."
"What's wrong?"
"You said you were going to take care of business, but you were gone for over half an hour."
