With a sigh of relief in his mind, Sasaki calmly opened the door.
Looking at the somewhat embarrassed Okino Kazuki scratching his head outside the door, along with the sullen Rinka Okino standing behind him, he greeted them.
"Kazuki, Rinka, are you here to play?"
As if he didn't expect that it was Sasaki who opened the door, Okino Kazuki, who was scratching his head, was stunned for a moment, and then nodded pretending to be natural.
"Yeah, we heard from Yotsuba that you were looking for a club, so we came to see if we could help with anything…"
"I'm sorry to bother you two." Sasaki responded with a smile and a nod, then stepped aside to get out of the way. "Come in and talk."
After entering the living room, he poured them each a cup of tea.
"I just got back and haven't eaten yet. Do you guys want something?"
"We've eaten, and we won't compete with Fuyumi-nii for food. By the way, where is Otome-san?" Lying carelessly on the sofa, Rinka shook her head at Sasaki, then asked about the girl, who wasn't in the living room or kitchen.
After entering the house, Okino Kazuki, who was also looking for Otome, also raised his ears.
"She..." Just as Sosuke began to speak, the came out from the inside.
Her complexion was rosy but not overly so, and her attire was neat, not disheveled.
Obviously, after the morning's experience, she became even more adept at tidying up her clothes.
"Rinka-chan, Kazuki, you're here."
.
"Sister Otome, why is it that every time we come, you're in the bathroom?"
Lying on the sofa with a pillow in her arms, Rinka looked up and down at Otome, who appeared so normal it was abnormal, and teased her with a tone that was somewhat hard to describe.
But just as a Saint Seiya wouldn't be defeated by the same move twice, Otome wouldn't be fooled by the same trick twice.
So this time when faced with Okino Rinka's inquiry, she walked over, pinched her small face with both hands, and spoke with a slightly reproachful tone.
"Then why do you always come looking for me every time I go to the bathroom?"
But since it was just a joke, she let go of her hand after finishing speaking.
"Rinka-chan, do you want to eat some more? You and Fuyumi's tastes are very compatible. They are all what you usually like to eat~"
"No..."
Just about to say 'no need', Rinka saw Sasaki, who was blinking at her from beside the dining table, and knew he might have something to say to her, so she changed her tune.
"It wouldn't be a bother, would it?... Brother Fuyumi hasn't eaten yet..."
"It's okay, I've made a lot." Sakuragi Otome, who was dragging the girl over to eat, looked at Okino Kazuki who was sitting aside without saying much, and asked out of politeness.
"Kazuki, would you like to join?"
"No, no need to trouble you, I've eaten at home. Also, Rinka, don't cause trouble to Otome, okay."
Although he really wanted to sit and eat with Otome.
But Okino Kazuki, who knew that Rinka and Sasaki liked spicy food, could only wave his hands helplessly.
At the same time, he was a bit puzzled that Rinka agreed to Otome's invitation when she was already full at home.
But since Rinka was going over to be a third wheel, his admonition was just lip service.
He had no intention of stopping his sister who was walking past him.
Once Sasaki and Rinka were sitting face to face for the meal, and Otome was serving food while Kazuki was watching TV, the two of them lowered their heads and started typing on their phones.
[Drag Kazuki away later!]19:10 'Read'
Sasaki's eyes drifted towards the direction of the boy.
[I didn't want him to come in the first place, but I couldn't hold him back... (Distressed.jpg)]19:10 'Read'
Okino Rinka sighed secretly, with a gloomy expression.
Unconcerned with her pretense, Sasaki knew this clever girl was more astute than he had thought, so he didn't offer her a solution.
[He must leave before I finish eating! (Serious.jpg)]19:11 'Read'
Looking up at the boy's frowning brows, Okino Rinka, who was originally a little wilted, suddenly became energetic.
[What's up? Is Brother Fuyumi going to take action tonight? It's so fast... You obviously just confirmed the relationship today, right? (Excited.jpg)] 19:11 "Read"
[So he has to leave before I finish eating, can you do it? ]19:11「Read」
[I'll make him leave now, watch me. (Encouraging.jpg)]19:11 'Read'
Facing Sasaki who was looking at her, the girl patted her own flat chest, then raised her cell phone and muttered to herself in a voice neither loud nor soft.
"What? Nothing's going to happen, right?"
"No, I have to go check it out."
Putting away her phone and rising abruptly, Okino Rinka, biting her little tiger tooth, squeezed her eyes sadly and sorrowfully at Sasaki before running out of the house.
After she dashed out like the wind.
During her phone call, Okino Kazuki, who had been looking at her, also hurriedly followed her without understanding why.
"Fuyumi, I'm going to check on Rinka, so I won't stay any longer."
"Alright, call me if anything happens." Waving at the boy as he ran out, and looking at the living room quiet down again, Sasaki thought of Rinka's funny look, lowered his head, and laughed.
"Haha~"
"What's wrong? Did something happen to Rinka?" Bringing the prepared dishes one by one, Otome Sakuragi looked at the two who had run out and then at Fuyumi, who was laughing here, feeling somewhat puzzled in her heart.
Taking the girl's warm little hand, Sasaki shook his head.
"No, she's fine. I asked her to take Kazuki away, because he was too much of an eyesore."
After hearing these words and seeing Sasaki's action, the girl's face, which had returned to fair, began to feel a little hot again.
However, he only held her hand briefly before letting go and leaving his seat.
"I bought you a gift."
Returning to his seat again, Sasaki handed the box in his hand to Otome who was standing at the dining table.
"Look, do you like it?"
Looking at the pink mobile phone box handed to her hand, Sakuragi Otome was about to speak, but Sasaki, who knew she was going to blame him, said first:
"I know Otome doesn't care about these things, but the classmates who know you're in love will mention it during conversations, right?"
Taking her little hand, the boy pulled her in front of him.
Then, wrapping his arms around her slender waist, he pressed his cheek against her belly, and murmured in a sullen voice, "I don't want Otome to hear something like 'Eh? You're dating such a beautiful girl as Otome, and you didn't give her anything after making it official? Doesn't it mean he doesn't care about you?' I know we are together and it's not good to express whether I care about you or not with these things."
"But I don't want Otome to hear such words from annoying people. It's like announcing to everyone I'm proud to take Otome out, and I don't want you to be embarrassed."
He nuzzled the rich scent of cherry blossoms.
Sasaki's arms tightened around her waist, and lifting his head, he looked at the girl, whose eyes were blurred, and said with a light laugh, "Otome's reputation is much more important than those filled with the smell of ink, like Fukuzawa Yukichi."
After finishing speaking as he raised his head, the bent corner of his mouth was kissed by Otome Sakuragi, who bent down to capture his lips.
Feeling the strong grip of her delicate arms behind his head and the girl's initiative in their kiss.
Sasaki wrapped his arms around her waist, letting her sit in his embrace.
After a while.
.
.
Feeling that Otome's response was getting weaker and weaker, Sasaki was the first to tilt his head back.
Looking at the girl, who was lying in his arms with a dazed look but a silly smile.
He tilted his head and nuzzled the hair in front of her forehead, then lowered his head to kiss her tender earlobe, softly asking.
"Your uncle and aunt... are on a business trip, right?"
"Mm~?"
Hearing her tender response, Sasaki pressed his face against her hot and smooth cheeks and said nothing else.
Instead of scaring Otome now, it would be better to wait until she fulfills her promise at noon.
At that time... in the bright room, Sasaki, sitting by the bed with Otome, who couldn't speak, wasn't it... a matter of course?
Holding his little scheme, Sasaki, deeply moved by Otome's feeding, quickly finished the meal she had prepared.
Because there were still requests that had not been made.
Sasaki couldn't let Otome fully calm down just yet.
So Sasaki, who still couldn't let her calm down completely, stayed close to the girl after eating.
With his arms around her slender waist, his chin on the girl's soft shoulder, he watched her wash the dishes quietly.
"No, stop making trouble..."
Feeling Fuyumi's soft and warm fingertips gently sliding on her belly, causing a feeling of heat and itchiness, Otome Sakuragi twisted her body.
Knowing that the time had come, Sasaki stopped his mischievous dog paws, looked at the girl washing her chopsticks with a smile, and asked softly: "Otome, do you still remember what happened at noon?"
Hearing his words, the girl paused in her dishwashing, then blushed again and nodded lightly as if nothing had happened, "I remember~"
Lowering his head and pressing a kiss on his snow-white neck, Sasaki took a deep breath and said softly: "Your Fuyumi likes girls who keep their promises. Are you one, Otome?"
Know what he was talking about, Sakuragi Otome bit her lip, and after being shy for a while, she nodded in response.
"Yeah~"
"Then you should finish washing the chopsticks properly~"
After looking at the girl for a bit, Sasaki hugged her tightly for the last time and then let go.
"I'm going to take a shower first."
After saying that, he walked towards the second floor.
…....
Entering the bathroom, Sasaki lay in the bathtub and sighed in relief.
The feeling of being enveloped by warm water was the most relaxing for both body and mind.
Of course, it would be even better if Otome were there to help scrub his back and help him with the bath.
But that was just a thought for now; since he hadn't even "tasted the meat," it was a bit early to say such things.
If he acted too hastily out of greed and lust and scared her away, it would be a loss indeed.
Thinking this to himself.
With his eyes closed, Sasaki suddenly heard the sound of footsteps, slow and hesitant, approaching from afar.
Opening his eyes, he turned his head and looked at the slim silhouette gradually appearing outside the door, his heart beating fiercely.
'No way...'
