Chapter 33
When Kenshin awoke, he stretched relaxedly and saw two young beauties pressing their firm tits against him on either side of him. He stroked their silky backs, and Natsumi and Aya purred softly through their sleep.
After a few minutes, the girls woke up too, and raised their pretty faces, staring at Kenshin.
- Morning, girls. How did you sleep? - He said, and kissed each of them in turn.
- Mmm, that's great! - Natsumi replied while stretching.
- Yeah, I got a good night's sleep. - Aya meowed, and stretched, too.
Kenshin watched the natural grace of both girls mesmerised. They were real beauties, and even their morning sipping looked incredibly sexy.
After a few minutes, all three of them put on their dressing gowns, and went to take a shower. Kenshin thought about the idea of remodelling their place a little. He had planned to make a separate bathroom, with the entrance from their bedroom. But he was distracted from his thoughts by the incredible beauty of Aya and Natsumi's naked bodies.
Before starting to prepare breakfast, Kenshin took both of his wives and his eldest son out the door of the shelter, and activated the skill "Sanctuary Creation" and decided to rearrange his humble abode a bit.
He didn't change much, but only changed the layout of the flat, creating a small bathroom and toilet, with a door leading directly from the master bedroom. This bathroom was a little smaller than the previous one, and there was no shower cubicle, but the bathtub itself was a little bigger and could easily accommodate three people.
The room for "guests" was next to the master bedroom, but he moved the "barracks" room to the gymnasium, and there he created a simple shower room, in the manner of sports showers, with four small stalls, shower heads on top, and a drain under the feet.
The kitchen and living room remained unchanged, and twenty minutes later Kenshin let everyone back in, and the members of the Nakayama family, for the first time, had breakfast in the living room. There wasn't enough room for four people in the kitchen, so to avoid disturbing the girls, Kenshin and Ichiro waited for breakfast at the living room table.
After breakfast, Natsumi began teaching Ichiro the hand seals. In the two weeks since the sharingan had awakened, he had finally learned how to activate it, so he watched the hand seals being folded in slow motion, and memorised them all in five minutes, and spent the rest of the day practising his fine motor skills and learning how to fold them quickly.
The next two weeks flew by. Natsumi spent the first few days sparring with Ichiro to improve his taijutsu skills, and although she wasn't an expert in hand-to-hand combat, she knew a lot of techniques that Ichiro memorised with his sharingan and could practise on a punching bag or makiwara, which were sensibly reinforced with Kenshin formations so that Ichiro wouldn't break them inadvertently.
In addition to taijutsu, Natsumi taught him the basic principles of chakra circulation and chakra control, and after a week of "training" Ichiro finally learnt to walk on walls and water. His "chakra control" score went from 42 to 48. Ichiro still couldn't masterfully jump and run on walls while sparring, but he was learning quickly.
Natsumi used "Katon: Gokakyu no Jutsu" a few times, causing a very large, metre-long fireball that even Kenshin and Aya came to see. Ichiro carefully watched the barely visible chakra circulation while the technique was being used, and vaguely grasped the main points. Then, a few days later, he asked Natsumi to repeat the technique, and noticed more and more points, getting closer to mastering this fire technique.
Kenshin was a little surprised that the Uchiki's sharingan wasn't as powerful as he remembered it being. It looked different on screen, and a sharingan user could memorise and repeat the technique in an instant. Kenshin wasn't sure exactly what the issue was, perhaps Ichiro's one sharingan tomoe, or his weak foundation of chakra handling, but Kenshin was keeping a close eye on all of Ichiro's progress, and taking notes for himself.
Kenshin himself had been "farming" all those fortnight, after the accident, he decided not to use his wine earnings anymore, and focused his attention on farming.
After visiting the brothel, Kenshin had 16,000 ryo left, but Natsumi brought her earnings and he had a total of 31,000 ryo, which was enough for the first time, but not enough for all his grand plans.
During the fortnight, Kenshin made several visits to the nearest village and bought a cart, tools, and potato and onion seeds. He went into town once, accompanied by Ichiro, and bought some spice seeds, some expensive flowers, and a few books on agriculture.
It took him 12,000 ryo to make all these purchases. Ichiro helped him plough some plots for future crops, spending only one day of his time.
Kenshin set up formations to speed up the ripening of crops in a few days of hard work, and by the time Natsumi was due to give birth, he had already harvested his first crop of potatoes and onions. The potatoes came out to 74kg and the onions 18kg. He put them all in a special cave-cellar, which had a homemade door, and formations to keep the temperature down, along with formations to repel rodents and insects.
To his great regret, the crop of flowers and spices died. The best flowers and spices were very finicky about their habitat and care, but Kenshin did not despair, and planned to refine the formations and create ideal conditions for their growth.
