Chapter 68: Change of clothes
68. Change of clothes
I am Haruka Shijouin.
Now I was incredibly surprised to find out that I had been given a bath in a strangers house, with a fact coming to light I never would have imagined.
So, then, are you Niihamas sister, ?
The situation was a little too difficult to grasp, and after explaining what we knew to each other in turn, we were finally able to understand this amazing coincidence.Vissit novelbin(.)c.om for updates
Yes! Ill introduce myself again. Im Kanako Niihama! Youve always been a great help to my brother!
Kanako-chan, who is facing me in the bathtub, gives me a mischievous smile and a small bow.
Niihamas sister
I had heard that he had one younger sister, but I didnt know she was so cute. Her vibrant smile was so adorable that I wanted to hug her.
But I didnt expect that Shijouin-san was also there when I went shopping with my brother yesterday. Well, everyone gathers in the city on holidays, so I guess thats normal.
Ah, yes I only saw it for a moment at that time, and I didnt realize it until just now when I saw your hairstyle was also twin-tailed.
As I said this, I was amazed at the transformation that this fact had brought to my mind.
(Shes his sister. That thing yesterday was just a brother and sister out together.)
Knowing this, I found myself feeling surprisingly light in my chest.
Something that had been settled in the depths of my mind since yesterday had disappeared cleanly.
(Oh now Im very relieved )
As if a thorn had been removed from my chest, a sense of relief filled me.
That heavy, painful feeling had cleared up like a clear, cloudless day.
(Even so, its a shallow possessiveness of me to be so relieved to know that Niihama-kun didnt have a friend closer than me. Huh?)
Suddenly, I felt something strange.
If my feelings were a possessive desire stemming from my lack of friends, then I would feel the same way even if Mai and Mizuki were close to other girls besides me but my mind was not particularly disturbed by the thought.
(? I dont understand?Even if Im right about it being just possessiveness, its a little different from the fear of having your friends taken away, isnt it?)
Hey, whats wrong, Shijouin-san? Have you lost consciousness ?
Oh, no, I havent introduced myself yet either. Im Haruka Shijouin. Im indebted to your brother as well.
I was so lost in thought that I hurriedly introduced myself and bowed lightly in the bathtub.
Yes, its nice to meet you! I thought you were a beautiful woman, but I didnt realize you were the Shijouin-san Id heard so much about! Ive been hoping to meet you someday!
What do you mean by rumors did Niihama-kun talk so much about me?
Thats right! Your father almost banned you from reading light novels because your grades were so low!
Wha?!
(Hmm? If Kanako-chan is Niihama-kuns younger sister, then this is Niihama-kuns house, isnt it?)
I could see my reflection in the bathroom mirror turning red as I realized this very obvious fact at a time that was really too late.
(I mean, I got naked at Niihamas house and took a bath Ah, ah, ah)
I soaked myself naked in the bathtub in the same bathroom that Niihama-kun usually used.
I was very embarrassed by that fact.
(There doesnt seem to be anyone else in the house right now except Kanako-chan and anyway, lets get dressed quickly!)
I put on my dry underwear and sleeved the large shirt that was given to me as a change of clothes.
It was a little tight in the chest, but not so tight that it was painful.
Is that?
As I buttoned up the sleeves of my shirt, I saw a note in the basket.
There was something written in round letters that seemed to be in Kanako-chans handwriting.
Im going to give you my brothers shirt to wear because your breasts are too big for mine and my moms are too tight.
Wha-?!
(This is Niihamas shirt?)
As soon as I realized this, I felt my face flush again.
It was nothing compared to what I had seen earlier.
Just the thought of the shirt that Niihama-kun usually wears in his sleeves is now wrapped around my entire body, and my emotions are so hot and turbulent that I cant stay calm.
(Oh, but its definitely not like a girls shirt It smells like a boy)
My hands stopped as I was wearing a shirt open in the front over my underwear, just shorts and bra.
Im wearing Niihama-kuns shirt, and Im in his smell.
When I think of that, my thoughts overflow with heat and I cant think of anything else.
Yes, so Im sure- the behavior that followed was also because it was unusual.
(Same as when we huddled together in the planetarium at the school festival: I can definitely smell Niihama-kuns scent)
The action was unconscious.
It was really, really unconscious.
But the fact was that I had taken my arm through the sleeve of Niihama-kuns shirt and brought it up to my mouth.
I could smell him through my nostrils.
