Chapter 399: Weekend Lie-in
Eriri's drawing of Utaha in a swimsuit was not posted on Twitter in the end, but a scanned digital copy was made and sent to Utaha, who had just arrived home.
Looking at the photo sent to her phone, Utaha's expression was a bit conflicted, but she still saved it.
"Although she drew me a size smaller, other parts are still good."
Utaha herself naturally wouldn't post it. A drawing in regular clothes would be fine, but a swimsuit drawing, no matter what, she couldn't bring herself to post it online for so many people to see, even if it was just a drawing.
"But... for swimsuits, how should I choose for the summer?"
Lying on her bed, Utaha looked at the drawing on her phone and began to ponder.
She herself really wanted to choose a similar bikini, after all, when going to the beach, she naturally wanted to show off her good figure, but Utaha also didn't want too many people to see it, so she was very conflicted.
"Forget it, I'll see what others choose then. We agreed to go shopping for clothes together."
Shaking her head, Utaha sat up and went to her open computer, starting her work for the day... Sunday morning.
Kaede woke up from his sleep and didn't find Eriri beside him, so he rubbed his eyes, sat up, and looked around.
In the room, a catgirl cosplay outfit and stockings, changed out of last night, were scattered on the bedroom carpet, indicating the intensity of last night's battle.
Picking up his pajamas from the chair and putting them on, Kaede stretched and said with a smile, "Although the Cat at home won't change, Eriri will, so there's no difference."
Stretching his body and tidying up the clothes on the floor, Kaede walked out of the room.
Once outside, he found out where Eriri had gone—she was in the bathroom.
However, it was not yet 8 o'clock, and Eriri had already gotten up to shower in the bathroom. It seemed she had indeed sweated a lot and felt uncomfortable.
Gently pushing aside Golza, who had run to his feet, Kaede walked straight to the bathroom.
Hmm, the door wasn't locked. Kaede directly twisted the bathroom door open and walked in.
Eriri, who was comfortably soaking in the bath, was startled by the sound of the door opening. Then, seeing that it was Kaede, she breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Kaede-kun, why are you up?"
"You're asking me? Why are you up so early?"
"Hehe, I sweated a bit too much, and my body felt a little sticky, so I got up to take a bath, thinking of changing clothes and then going back to catch up on some sleep."
Cupping a handful of foam and blowing it, Eriri was about to say that she still wanted to wash for a while, when she saw Kaede starting to undress.
"Eh? Kaede-kun, are you...?"
Unbuttoning his pajamas, Kaede said with a smile, "Perfect, since you're washing, Eriri, I'll wash too. Don't worry, I'll shower first and then soak."
Then, under Eriri's gaze, Kaede turned on the shower in the bathroom and started washing himself.
Eriri, huddled in the bathtub, knew after seeing this that she wouldn't be able to enjoy a quiet bath alone, and silently sank further down.
The efficiency of one person showering and two people showering naturally couldn't be compared. Hot water was added once in the middle, which ensured that no one caught a cold during today's morning bath.
After washing and drying her hair, Eriri hung grumpily on Kaede's back, letting him carry her back to the bedroom.
In the bedroom, Kaede also changed the duvet, and only then did the two of them get back into bed.
With only her head showing, Eriri exhaled and said, "It's all Kaede-kun's fault, even taking a bath can be so tiring."
"Such things can't be done with just one hand, Eriri."
Kaede smiled and pulled Eriri into his arms, placing one hand on her slender waist and saying, "If you're tired, then sleep a little longer. It's only a little past eight, and weekends are meant for proper relaxation."
"Mm-hmm."
Nodding, Eriri yawned and said, "But Kaede-kun, won't this be a bit too lazy? I feel guilty."
"What's wrong with that? When it's time to rest, you should rest. Nothing else is as important."
Smelling Eriri's freshly washed, fragrant hair, Kaede's mood was also exceptionally relaxed: "But if you get hungry, you still have to get up."
Eriri rubbed her stomach and shook her head, "I'm not hungry. I ate a lot of the snacks Utaha brought last night, so I can last a bit longer. Let's just have lunch directly."
Although skipping breakfast isn't ideal, for just one day occasionally, it's not a big problem.
The two of them lay lazily in bed, chatting intermittently, and fell asleep after a short while.
And not long after the two fell asleep, because the bedroom door was not closed, three little ones snuck in.
Camearra, with her two cubs, swaggered in, then one by one jumped onto the big bed, chose a comfortable spot, and lay down.
It wasn't until 11 AM that, accompanied by the rumbling of stomachs, Kaede and Eriri woke up one after another.
Looking at Kaede in front of her, Eriri laughed, "Hehehe, Kaede-kun, your stomach rumbled."
"Yeah, I'm hungry."
Kaede didn't deny it, smiling and nodding, then leaned over and kissed Eriri before saying, "Alright, it's already noon, it's really time to get up. We need to work hard this afternoon."
"Got it~~~ Heave-ho!"
Sitting up abruptly, Eriri then noticed three little ones on the bed, and immediately became troubled, "Oh, I forgot to close the door and let them in. Kaede-kun, the freshly changed duvet!"
Kaede also saw the three little ones who had opened their eyes, and smilingly picked up Golza, who had run over: "Alright, they've already run in, what can we do? Later, I'll use a tool to remove the Cat hair from the duvet, it won't take long."
"That's the only way."
Nodding, Eriri also got out of bed, picking up Camearra and Melba, one in each arm: "Let's go, go back to your Cat tree to sleep. It'll be a disaster if you pee here!"
After putting the Cats outside, Eriri returned to the bedroom, tidied up the cosplay outfit from last night, and went to the bathroom to wash it. Kaede, meanwhile, rolled up the freshly changed bedsheet and duvet cover; these also needed to be washed together.
Although they said they would prepare lunch, there were still many other things to do.
