“Hiyori, are you cold?”

“Y-yes. Just a little.”

“Here, then.”

“Uwaa~ …Your jacket. …, it’s warm.”

“Glad to hear.”

“U-um, Hidetsugu-san.”

“Hmm?”

“I-I want you to warm me up more…”

“Hi-Hiyori….”

And then, the two of us stared at each other, bringing our faces close―

“Ukiyaaa~!”

You could hear her excited voice…

“Koshiba, shut up.”

I said.

“Even though you said that, Tsugtsugu~! Your face is bright red~?”

Koshiba said, grinning.

“… Damn it, I shouldn’t have called you home.”

Koshiba had just come to visit us at our apartment, and we were admiring the Film club’s work at the school festival.

“Hiyori~n is really cute too~”

“T-thank you, Natsume-chan.”

Hiyori said shyly.

“Man, I should’ve visited your college festival~”

“Why didn’t you come?”

“I’m afraid of that yuri woman~.”

“Ebina is well… but she’s a good girl, you know?”

“Mumu~, Tsugutsugu? By any chance, are you having an affair?”

“What?”

“Certainly that yuri woman is tall and has big t**s. I’d say she’s a ……F…… or maybe a G cup.?”

“Ahh…”

I covered my mouth in a panic,,

“Fufu, looks like a hit. As expected of Natsume-chan.” Koshiba said, licking her tongue.

“Hiyorin~! Tsugutsugu usually acts like a nice young man, but actually he’s a boob lover~!”

“Kya!”

Koshiba hugged Hiyori while pretending to cry.

“Muh?”

Then, for some reason, Koshiba raised her eyebrow.

“Hiyori-n, perhaps … your b***s have grown a bit?”

“Heh?”

Hiyori’s eyes fluttered. Koshiba touched Hiyori’s chest.

“Ah, ….”

“Yeah, I knew it. Before, you were about the same A cup as me. Now you’re a B… no, you’re about C, aren’t you?”

Saying this, Koshiba groped Hiyori’s b*****s.

“Nn…, Natsume-chan.”

“Look, they’re a little flabby.”

“S-stop it~…. it’s embarrassing.”

“Just a little more …… fusu~, fusu~!”

Koshiba excitedly sniffed.

“Enough!”

I gave her a chop on the head.

“Ouch~!”

Koshiba held her head.

“Mou~~, Tsugutsugu, you devil~!”

“Shut up. Or rather, you can’t talk about Ebina either.”

“Ugh,…, because Hiyori-n is guilty of being too cute.”

Koshiba’s mouth twitched

“What’s with you, you wife-lover~”

“Koshiba~?”

I made a fist with both hands and locked Koshiba’s temples.

“Hya……, ouch, ouch, ouch~! Don’t grind on me~! You devil~!”

“Shut up. It’s punishment. You are the sinner. You’re always making fun of us older guys.”

“B-because I enjoy teasing you two.”

“All right, let’s make it harder.”

Guriguri

“AHHHHHHHHHH!”

Koshiba’s scream echoed. I was startled

“I’m sorry, I put too much pressure on it.”

When I hurriedly removed my hand, Koshiba stared at me with teary eyes, out of breath.

“…Tsugutsugu no ecchi”

“W-Why?”

“I was violated by Tsugutsugu…”

“H-Hey! Don’t say weird things in front of Hiyori. …”

“Well, in return…let me poke you on the forehead?”

“What?…Alright”

“Then, let’s go~?”

Koshiba smiled and poked me on the forehead

“…. Are you satisfied with this?”

“Yes.”

Koshiba smiled at me.

“Ah, I’m sorry, Hiyori-n. I flirted with your husband.”

“I’m not flirting with you.”

“Again~, Tsugutsugu, you’re so shy~”

“I’m not!”

As Koshiba and I were arguing with each other, Hiyori was smiling at us.

“It’s kind of fun”

“Hiyori?”

“Oh, I’ve got Hiyorin’s approval. So, shall we flirt some more? Tsugtsugu?”

“I’m sorry, noisy women like you are not my type.”

“Gah! … Alright. I’ll make a copy of this movie and distribute it to everyone.”

“Hey, don’t ever do that!”

Koshiba and I were glaring at each other again.

Pirri, an electronic beep.

“Oh, it’s mine.”

Hiyori held the phone in her hand. Then, as soon as she looked down at the screen, her eyes instantly became intense.

“Hiyori? What’s wrong?

I asked, but Hiyori didn’t reply immediately. I was curious, and although I felt bad, I looked at the screen of Hiyori’s phone.

“…..”

What was displayed there was Marina Ando’s name.

“Hiyori….”

Hiyori looked up in surprise as I gently touched her back. She smiled at me and pressed the accept button.

“Hello …….”

Hiyori weakly but properly answered the phone. She then exchanged a few words with the other party in a quiet voice.

“…… Eh? Hidetsugu-san?”

When my name was mentioned, Hiyori turned towards me.

“Hidetsugu-san, Marina-chan wants to talk to you.”

“With me?”

I raised my eyebrows slightly.

“Got it.”

I received the phone from Hiyori.

“Hello?”

–That voice, Hidetsugu?

“That’s right… but I don’t remember allowing you to use my name.”

—Hey, .., you’re so annoying

“So, what’s this all about? Are you going to harass Hiyori again? If you persist too much, I’ll get really angry.”

–D-Don’t get so serious.

“So, what is it?”

—Urghh, you’re really pissing me off. You know, my dad wants to meet you.

“Dad … Hiyori’s uncle… right?”

“Well, yeah.”

“Is that …… related to me bringing Hiyori to my place on my own without permission?”

–I think he wants to talk to you about this and that. Bring Hiyori with you on your next day off.

“Wait a minute.”

I took my phone away from my ear and looked at Hiyori.

“Hiyori, your uncle wants to see me.”

“Uncle Toru…?”

Hiyori widened her eyes.

“What do you want to do? He wants you to come with me.”

When I asked, Hiyori lowered her head.

She clenched her hands tightly that were placed on her knees.

“…I will go”

Hiyori said.

“Okay.”

I nodded.

“Okay, Hiyori and I will come there on our next day off.”

–Oh yeah. At least, bring one nice souvenir.

“You’re saying that for yourself, right? You’ve got a really bad character, on a level that’s a little off-putting.”

–No…th-this, just now…

Even over the phone, I could feel Marina Ando shaking slightly in anger. Then my shoulder was tapped.

“Hey, Tsugutsugu. The guy on the other end of the phone is the one who bullied Hiyori-n, right?”

“What? Yeah”

“Give me that for a minute.”

I was a little lost, but handed the phone to Koshiba. Koshiba pressed the speaker button before answering the phone.

“Uh, hello? Is this Ms. Wicked Ugly Woman?”

—Huh!? I mean, who the h**l are you!?

“I’ll tell you what, your fashion doesn’t resonate with us JKs at all! Your bad personality is showing through, you b***h!”

–Huh…! ?Hey, you f*****g kid! Who are you!

“My name is Natsume Koshiba. I’m a super cute gal JK and I work at a convenience store. And I’m …. best friends with Hiyorin and Tsugutsugu ….”

—Huh? What the h**l are you JK kid mumbling!

“You’re the kid. I heard all the stories from Tsugutsugu. I wouldn’t be surprised if you got sued, you know?”

–Ughh…I don’t get why I would be sued. I was just treating Hiyori as a normal member of the family~, you know?

“But Hiyori was crying the whole time, right?”

Marina Ando fell silent at Koshiba’s words.

“Well, I don’t feel sorry for Hiyorin. After all, Tsugutsugu is here and so am I.”

Then Koshiba looked at me and Hiyori and winked. Hiyori gave a small smile. I also smiled.

“That’s why, you ugly woman. Stop Bullying her, okay? Got it?”

Koshiba said.

—… …, you’re annoying.

Marina Ando let out a small complaint.

“Anyway, we’ll be there on our next day off.”

I told her simply.

–Really? Come if you want, okay!?

“No, you told me to come.”

–Shut up! You idiot! Die!

Finally, she shouted as if she was going to throw up, and the call was cut off.

“Oh dear, ….”

“… pff, kukuku”

“Koshiba?”

When I looked, Koshiba was holding her stomach.

“Oh, I’m sorry. I feel a little refreshed… I’ve always wanted to say it to the guy who bullied Hiyorin.”

Koshiba raised her body, smiled and said,

“Natsume-chan,…, thank you.”

Hiyori shed little tears.

“Ah, don’t cry, Hiyori~n.”

Koshiba, who said so, also had tears in the corner of her eyes. The two hugged each other.

“Koshiba.”

“What?”

She turned around and said,

“Thanks”

I thanked her.

“Whaa….T-Tsugutsugu, you….devil”

“Why?”

“A devil is a devil~!”

Koshiba said and nuzzled her face into Hiyori’s chest.

“Kyaaa!”

“Ah~, Hiyorin’s growing b***s~! I love it!”

“Hey, Natsume-chan!”

“Hey, Koshiba. Do it in moderation.”

“Yes!”

Koshiba replied cheerfully. Hiyori continued to pamper her.

And I was looking at them with a smile.
