CH 42

Finally, summer vacation had arrived.

Thanks to studying with Shirayuki, my midterm test results were not bad… well, considering I had progressed all the way to university in my previous life, it was actually more challenging to get a low score.

Having finished the important tasks as a student, I visited their sweet and leisurely days that stretched on. It was on the first day of summer vacation that something stunned me.

“…10 kilograms, for real?”

I muttered while staring at the weighing scale.

It wasn’t some foolish thing about my weight reaching 10 kilograms. It was the fact that I had lost a total of 10 kilograms since obtaining this body. 

Right next to the scale in the dressing room, there was a mirror perfectly placed to confirm my proportions.

“Bon, bon, bon! Phew, there’s still a long way to go. I wonder how many years it will take for Japan’s dawn to break.”

While uttering incomprehensible words, I poked at my soft, flabby flesh.

Just then, Shirayuki knocked on the door and entered.

“How did it go?”

“Ah, first, take a look at this, Lieutenant Shirayuki.”

“What’s that? Fufu, alright, Captain Touma.”

Since I didn’t lock the door, I couldn’t complain even if it suddenly opened. But I didn’t have any intention to complain, even if I were completely naked.

Though there was still unnecessary flab, it was evident that I had slimmed down compared to before.

“It seems like the results of your exercise are starting to show, right?”

“Don’t you think?”

“Wow, you have such a great smile.”

Shirayuki playfully poked my belly with her pointing finger.

The flesh that sank in with a squishy sound was still far from perfect… but yeah, as she pointed out, the results were undoubtedly there.

“In terms of fat, nothing has changed, but my b*****s are softer.”

“You shouldn’t compare it like that, Shirayuki-san.”

It’s not right to compare flab like this… Well, there are people who envy big b*****s and refer to them as excess fat, but you shouldn’t compare them.

After Shirayuki said that, I lightly poked her chest in return.

Even through her clothes, the elasticity that made my fingertips sink in was wonderful. No matter how many times I felt the sensation of her b*****s, I never grew tired of it.

“Touma-kun, you know my bust size, right?”

“According to the official setting.”

“I see, so that means if I were to grow according to that official setting, it would be unknown to you, right?”

“Wha-?”

“I’ve grown a little bit.”

“Really!?”

D-does that mean she will continue to grow from there!?

I was so surprised that it wouldn’t be strange even if there was a “deden” sound effect, but she muttered a phrase that seemed to suppress my excitement and astonishment.

“If this fat is considered excess, should I also try to lose weight?”

“Shirayuki, if you go any further, it’ll be a war, you know?”

I placed my hand on her lips to prevent her from saying anything more.

“That fullness is something very precious. You mustn’t say such things. A woman’s b*****s are filled with infinite possibilities and happiness.”

“What’s your true opinion, though?”

“I just happen to like big b*****s. Isn’t that enough? No complaints, right?”

“There aren’t any ♪ After all, whenever we have s*x, you always make sure to grope them, so I know how much you love them.”

Well… It’s embarrassing to be pointed out with such a smug expression.

Even though Shirayuki and Hisui know my preferences and fetishes completely, it’s still embarrassing when it’s directly stated by the person herself.

“But you know, even without touching or seeing it now, I can confirm every day that Touma-kun is steadily losing weight.”

“Huh?”

“Because we embrace each other naked, so I can tell right away.”

“Ah…”

I chuckled, realizing that there was indeed that aspect.

Afterward, Shirayuki and I spent some alone time in the living room… Although Hisui had managed to free up some time, being a working adult and a businesswoman, it was unavoidable for her to be busy.

“When I was younger, I used to visit Mom’s workplace often.”

“Is that so?”

“Yes. Well, simply because I wanted to be by Mom’s side.”

“That’s adorable.”

“Thank you.”

Shirayuki smiled and continued speaking.

“Mom would often talk about work with many people. It could be related to business matters or contracts… Work is like that. But there were completely different things happening behind the scenes.”

“Different things?”

“Yes. Using work as an excuse, it was about how to obtain the power of Hououin.”

Shirayuki spoke of something that had been part of Hisui’s life until now.

“If you establish connections, you can obtain the power of Hououin. Because of that, many men approached Mom after Dad passed away. However, Mom, who possesses the skill to expand Hououin to this extent, was never intimidated. On the contrary, she overwhelmed them.”

I nodded in agreement.

But I see… I expected there to be some hidden circumstances like this, but it’s certainly not something that was ever mentioned in the original story.

Listening to Shirayuki speak about it like this evokes a deep feeling, and knowing the hardships they went through makes me treasure them even more.

“Not only because they seek the name of Hououin, but also because Mom is very beautiful, she often receives genuine affection from others. And just because she has a daughter like me, there have been several marriage proposals. At first, Mom immediately declined, saying she wanted me to have a free life. And since you came into the picture, she hasn’t paid any attention to them at all.”

“…I’m sorry that I can’t find any words other than feeling happy.”

“There’s no need to apologize. As long as you devote your heart to Mom, that’s all that matters to me.”

I couldn’t help but feel captivated by the fact that they straightforwardly convey these things to me.

However, upon hearing this conversation, there was a part that piqued my curiosity.

“What kind of people approached her?”

As I asked, Shirayuki began to ponder, placing her hand on her chin, and then slowly started speaking as if she had recalled.

“There were many voices urging her to consider the sons of famous companies. Honestly, the idea of engagement for the sake of the company’s development seems a bit old-fashioned, but it’s still not uncommon.”

“I don’t really understand those kinds of things… But I see.”

“Yes. However, well, Mom declines without even showing a hint of consideration towards such suitors. She says that even without connections to other companies, Hououin can still thrive, and from Hououin’s perspective, all companies are similar.”

“Ho~”

By saying that, I could easily imagine Hisui maintaining a dignified attitude.

While I felt a slight curiosity about how she works, I knew that even if I were to go over there, I would only be a hindrance.

“Are you curious?”

“A little.”

“From Touma-kun’s perspective, I’m sure it would be intriguing. It would be a fresh sight for you, I imagine.”

Now, Shirayuki began to ponder, hmm-ing with a thoughtful expression. She asked me to wait for a moment and left the living room. After about fifteen minutes, she returned.

“I’m sorry to keep you waiting.”

“Welcome… baaack!!!”

It wasn’t something that should have surprised me so much, but I couldn’t help but raise my voice.

Shirayuki, who had returned to the living room, was no longer wearing her casual clothes. Instead, she was dressed in a suit befitting an adult. The suit had the typical black color scheme, and she had her long hair tied up, along with a pair of stylish glasses. The suit emphasized her waist, and the neckline seemed quite tight.

“…”

“What do you think?”

It was probably Hisui’s suit, but it suited Shirayuki very well and gave her a unique, mature appearance. It could be seen as resembling a s**y tutor from a manga… but it suited her so well that I couldn’t help but give a thumbs up.

“It’s awesome!”

“Hehe♪”

It’s not like this is some kind of play or anything.

With a blush on her cheeks, Shirayuki slowly approached me, as if she had a certain intention… Well, it’s a bit complicated for me, too.

“I look very put together now, don’t I?”

“Yeah.”

“Don’t you want to mess me up?”

Um…

This girl is really trying to completely unravel all my fetishes, and it’s quite troubling.
