CH 35

[Akari PoV]

It was two days after Okarin took a day off.

It was the beginning of August.

I was working at a diner in front of the station.

” A-lunch!”

“B lunch is ready!　Take it!”

I’m working part-time as a member of the cooking staff at this so-called “public cafeteria”.

Even though it’s summer vacation, businessmen are still working as usual.

I’m a high school student, and I’m pretty freaked out.

Eh, once you become a working adult, you only have a few days of summer vacation!?　I thought.

Because for us, summer vacation is as much as 40 days, but …….

In a few years, it will be cut down to about a tenth of the summer vacation, which is scary …….

“Akari-chan!　Don’t just sit around, move your hands!”

The woman at the cafeteria noticed me slumping over.

As expected of a woman, she’s very astute.

“Here you go!　Lunch is ready!　Take it!”

…… The devilish busyness subsided after a few hours.

At 2:00 a.m. we all had tea or a snack.

We hang a CLOSE sign outside, and gather together in the seating area.

Today we had leftover beef stew.

“Mmm~♡♡ Delicious~♡”

All of the dishes my auntie makes are excellent.

But there’s more to it than just savoring it.

“I see. …… You don’t have to use the best meat. …… I’m learning a lot.”

“You are very studious, Akari-chan.”

The woman is giggling and offers me a cup of barley tea.

She is the wife of the owner of this place, and she is very kind.

I’m really grateful to her.

Look, I’m a bit flashy looking, right?

I don’t dye my hair, and I don’t wear colored contacts.

But the people in the world are very strict.

They wouldn’t let me get a part-time job just because I had a flashy appearance.

But auntie was different.

“I’m sorry that you’ve been working here almost every day since the start of summer vacation.”

“Hmm, don’t worry about it, Auntie. I like doing this, you know. This is uhm, bridal training?　Typical.”

“Hahaha!　I see. Akari-chan will make a good bride. You’ re cute, a good cook, and you’re serious.”

“Nii-♡♡, Thank you Auntie!”

After I finished my meal, I cleaned the hall.

“I’ll be back in a few days.　Are you traveling with your boyfriend?”

She asks me while wiping the table.

“Yes, ……!　We’re going to a place called Karuizawa tomorrow.”

“Ah, yeah!　That’s nice!　I’m jealous that you’re traveling with your boyfriend!”

“Heh?　Right!”

Well, he’s not my boyfriend.

But here, I’m pretending that I have a boyfriend.

The reason?

Well, …… look, …… right?

Because, you know, …… right?

Ah, no. I can’t get the words out!

Anyway, I want to pretend that I’m Okarin’s girlfriend!

“Your boyfriend is older than you, correct?”

“Yes!　He’s kind, good-looking and handsome.”

“How nice, Akari, you should bring him to here sometime, your boyfriend.”

“Eh, ……?　That’s a little ……. ……”

“This Auntie would like to see the boyfriend of my precious sign girl~”

“Eh, ……Hmmm……, I don’t like it.”

“Oya, why not?”

“Hmmm……Okarin……I don’t want my boyfriend to see me working, you know”

I work at a diner for my future.

It’s not only to save money, but also to learn how to cook so that Okarin and my sister can eat a lot of delicious food.

In other words, I don’t want them to see that I’m working hard.

It’s kind of embarrassing,…….

“I see. …… As a bride in training, you want your boyfriend to eat only good food without worrying about anything else.”

“That’s right. I knew you would understand it, auntie.”

Auntie smiles and forgives me for my carefree attitude.

And …….

“I’m sorry I’ll be absent tomorrow for an extended period of time.”

“Don’t worry about it. Akari-chan is still a child, so you should have lots of fun and make lots of happy memories.”

She really respects me.

That’s why I feel comfortable here, second only to Okarin’s house.

The best is that house with Okarin and my sister.

There is a huge difference between the time I was there and now.

I’m grateful to Okarin for saving me from that “hell”.

“It’s almost time for me to go home. 20 minutes ago, but that’s fine, just cut my time card.”

I turned off my time card and bowed firmly in front of the lady.

“Thank you for your hard work!　I’m going to have a lot of fun!”

Pop, Auntie tapped me on the shoulder and said,

“Yeah, go on, play hard!”

[Nanako PoV]

I’m alone at Sensei’s house with my dog, Chobi.

“…… Chobi, we are in trouble. We’re all going on a trip soon.”

I’m lying on the couch with my miniature dachshund, Chobi, on my stomach.

Chobi and I are best friends.

We are Giants at heart. …… What’s different?

“…… This is amazing. Has it been years since I’ve traveled ……?”

Our family was poor. Therefore, we could not afford to travel.

Besides, ……[that person] didn’t let us have the luxury of traveling. …….

Those days were hard and painful. ……

So I’m very happy now.

“I’m home, sister.”

“Welcome back, Akari.”

I took Chobi and went to greet my sister.

“It’s cool in here~. You’re having a great time.”

Akari came home from her part-time job.

My sister is doing great. She’s working part-time with an eye on the future.

She said it was bride training and saving money.

……Amazing.

” Sister is staying indoors again today?　Why don’t you go out and play somewhere?　Or get a part-time job…”

Akari sits on the sofa and says so.

Part-time job……Mumu, it’s difficult…..

Outside … Mumu, it’s hot …

“…I’d rather work as a security guard at home.”

” You’ve always been an indoor person.”

I feel more comfortable reading and studying at home than going outside to play.

“…… There’s too much stimulation outside.”

“Stimulation.……”

Akari smirked and made a mean face.

I know what Akari is capable of when she does something like this.

I know, because she’s my sister!

“Ta-da!　Look at this, sister!　I bought it for you.”

“?　What’s…… that?”

What Akari is holding is a small box that fits in the palm of her hand.

It says “Meirusu” on it.

So ,what is this?

“You know it when you see it, it’s a birth control device, hiningu.”

“……WHA!?”

Dear God, birth control, that it is!

I can’t believe my sister bought me such a shameful thing!

“…… No, you can’t buy that!　Return it!”

“Eh, we need it, don’t we?”

For a change, Akari says in a serious tone.

“If you have a baby before you’re ready and prepared to welcome it, it’ll be unfortunate for the child, and more importantly, it’ll make Okarin very uncomfortable.”

Akari is a very strong woman.

She understands the importance of birth control.

But that’s not the point!

“Are you going to do something like that with …… s-sensei?”

“Eh?　You’re not?　Let me ask you this.”

W-w-w-what the hell!

My sister was going to …… climb the stairs to adulthood!

“It’s a trip with your boyfriend, you know?　You want to make a summer …… memory, right?”

“B-boyfriend ……Are we in a relationship yet?”

“Sweet, sweet, too sweet. It’s sweeter than gravjam.”

“Gura……jam?”

“It’s Okarin, you know.　He thinks we’re not women at all, but children. If we just wait for him, he’ll never look back at us.　You know that, right?

“…… I don’t want to do that.”

He is our benefactor.

I’ve never met a kinder [adult] than Sensei.

Sensei will protect us as adults.

But ……, I want Sensei to look back at me as a woman

It’s not that I want to be protected as an adult, but that I want to be around him as an adult.

“So, you have no choice but to do it.”

“Isn’t …… too extreme?”

“What’s our best weapon, sister?”

Bishi, Akari pointed her finger at me.

“………I-it is the boobs, Akarin-Sensei! “

“The answer is yes. Even if it is Okarin, if you press his body with our fully developed body, he will be melted.”

Akari nodded and walked behind me.

Then, hyan, mu, she squeezed my breasts.

“…….Me-meromero…..I wonder if you’d be willing?”

“That’s right. If he rubs, squeezes, and pinches those big tits, Okarin’s dead tree will be in full bloom!”

“…………?”

What is my sister talking about all of a sudden?

” Sister doesn’t understand dirty talk. Anyway, it’s a game, sister. We have to have a good relationship in these ten days. After that, we’ll be on a guardian and children course, okay?”

Guardian and children.

For the rest of my life, I may be happy with …… that.

But …… I don’t want to do that.

I want him to see me as the opposite sex, as a girl.

“I-I’ll do my best!”

“Alright!　Wait for us, Okarin!　The beautiful JK girl with big tits is going to attack you!”
