096 Daily Life After Marriage

On the seventh day after the marriage

In the afternoon sun warmly bathed everything. Lynch lay on a lounge chair in the study while Robin, from behind, gently massaged his shoulders with her soft hands, making him feel very relaxed.

On the desk nearby, Hina looked at the pile of documents on the desk with a sad face, lost in thought.

"Lynch, Robin, Hina, it's tea time. Let's take a break," Gion announced as she entered with a dining cart.

It might have been an illusion, but Gion seemed to have a more refined presence, and her whole demeanor exuded a mature charm.

Not just Gion, but also Hina and Robin had lost their youthful looks. Their faces now radiated maturity and attractiveness.

Standing together, they resembled ripe peaches—pink and tender beneath their fair skin. Just looking at them was appetizing.

Perhaps this was the difference between being a girl and being a wife.

"Long live Gion-nee!"

Hina jumped up from her chair, cheering and hugging Gion like a koala. 

She was so happy to finally be free from the pile of documents that had been stressing her out!

"Pfft~ Sister Hina, I'll handle the files from now on," Robin said, amused by Hina's reaction.

"I don't know who it is, but I'll give it a try this morning."

"Robin, you're so kind~" Hina responded gratefully.

"Alright, let's see what's for lunch this afternoon. Aren't you two tired of being together?"

Even though they had been married for a week, Lynch still couldn't get enough of his three lovely wives, who had beauty, grace, and great figures. 

Maybe it was just the honeymoon period.

"Coming!" 

Hina grabbed Gion and gave her a passionate kiss before jumping off, eagerly opening the lid of the afternoon tea.

"It smells so good. Sister Gion, your cooking skills are getting better and better."

Hina said, as the rich buttery aroma mixed with the fresh scent of octopus wafted through the hot steam.

"Octopus balls! And lemonade too. Can Hina really eat all this?"

Looking at the steaming takoyaki, Hina's mouth began to drool.

"Hina has such a sweet mouth. Eat up, this was made just for you."

"Thank you, Gion-san, ah~"

Hina used a skewer to pick up a small octopus ball and took a bite. The rich flavor filled her mouth instantly, with the taste of octopus and bonito flakes dancing on her tongue.

"It's delicious~" 

Hina's eyes narrowed with delight, turning into crescent shapes as she enjoyed the taste.

After eating a few octopus balls and sipping lemonade to cut the greasiness, Hina's cheeks puffed out like a little hamster.

Gion chuckled, finding Hina as cute as ever. She then opened the other two lids one by one.

"Strawberry pudding, pumpkin Mont Blanc, and calendula blueberry fruit tea—these are for you, Robin."

"Thank you, Momousagi-san."

Robin picked up the dessert spoon and ate gracefully.

"Meat-grilled venison, spicy burger, and ice-cold Coke—these are for you, husband."

Lynch, who ate a lot even without exercising, had a different afternoon tea from most people. 

He picked up the knife and fork and said, "Sister Gion, let's eat together."

"No, I already ate in the kitchen."

Gion, with gentle eyes, sat quietly, watching Lynch enjoy the meal she had prepared. 

The meat was perfectly grilled, golden brown on both sides, with the rich aroma of fine charcoal lingering.

As Lynch enjoyed the meal, Gion added lemon juice to balance the rosemary seasoning. 

Suddenly, Lynch remembered something and called the attendant, "Prepare afternoon tea and send it to Garrett."

"Yes, Your Majesty," the attendant replied.

The attendant bowed respectfully and left.

"How's Garrett doing these days?" Gion asked.

"It's about the same as before. She eats, drinks, and tries not to take things too seriously," Lynch shrugged. 

"But she does seem to be in a better mood lately."

"That's good. We're not in a hurry, as long as she doesn't cause trouble for us."

"That's what I think too. Let's keep her for now. I'll have Sasuke monitor her discreetly—he's very reliable."

As they talked about Garrett, Lynch couldn't help but think about her strikingly beautiful figure.

"I miss Tom a little bit, and I don't know how long it will be before he comes back."

Since meeting Tom, Gion, a cat lover, has never looked at other kittens.

Speaking of which, she and Lynch were brought together thanks to Tom's help. 

"This silly cat should be back soon."

In Alabasta:

"Aqiu~"

Tom, who was fighting Crocodile, suddenly sneezed and looked around suspiciously.

Who's talking behind his back?

Tom was confused about his location and didn't know who Crocodile was. 

He had simply gotten lost on his way to find Hawkeye and ended up here by accident.

Tom didn't understand why the man with the scarred face and broad back was so worked up. 

"Cat, if you don't want to join my crew, then go to hell! Ground Secco!" 

Crocodile's voice snapped Tom back to reality.

The desert beneath Tom's feet suddenly shifted, like a whirlpool in the sea, burying him deeply.

Crocodile stood on the still desert ground. Seeing that Tom hadn't moved, he turned and walked away.

This strange cat clearly isn't strong, but it refuses to die no matter how much it's hit or how much water its body loses.

After much consideration, Crocodile decided to bury it underground. 

He swore he had never seen such a strange creature before.

Half an hour later, Tom crawled out from several kilometers deep beneath the desert, emerging like a caterpillar.

Lying flat on the sand, he felt a wave of loneliness. 

Tom suddenly lost his desire to find Hawkeye and just wanted to go home and see his master.

Poor cat~
