"A social gathering?" Sasaki opened his eyes, turned over to face the inside, and asked while inhaling the faint fragrance emanating from her body, "What kind of social gathering?"
"It's a social gathering between the tennis club and other school clubs. We're just having a meal together."
"Hmm, what time should we go?"
"Uh..." Tachibana Yuuka, seemingly not expecting her dull-witted brother to agree so readily, hesitated for a moment before saying, "Just be there by seven."
After speaking, she lowered her head, resting her chin on her chest.
Her actions seemed like she wanted to look at Sasaki's face, but the best she could do was see the pattern on her collar.
With a helpless sigh, she asked, "You agreed just like that?"
She thought she would have to coax him for a while.
After all, boys his age are usually just thinking about reading novels, playing games, and watching comics every day, right?
Who would be willing to go out to dinner with a bunch of their sister's strange classmates?
So, hearing Sasaki's decisive agreement, Yuuka felt both happy and puzzled.
However, his warm breath was somewhat comforting...
She wanted to push him away but also didn't want to attend the social gathering alone, so she didn't make any moves.
"I agreed because it's just a meal, nothing difficult."
Knowing how attractive she is in the eyes of boys, Sasaki certainly wouldn't let her attend any social gatherings alone.
And since she had proactively mentioned it to him, it meant she didn't particularly want to or felt uncomfortable mingling with those people.
Since his sister didn't want to deal with them but couldn't refuse their invitation outright, as her brother, he had to step up and shield her.
However, her surprised tone just now made Sasaki a bit unhappy.
"Besides, what's with 'just like that'? Do you think I'm difficult to talk to?"
Hearing her stupid brother's assertive question, Tachibana Yuuka straightened her slender waist and said matter-of-factly, "Isn't it normal? Don't all boys like to stay home and play games? Let alone go out to eat with people they have no common topics with."
"That's them..."
Rising from her soft, silky black-stockinged thighs, the boy met her puzzled gaze, cupped her soft face, and guided her onto his lap, giving her a knee pillow.
"With a sister as beautiful as mine, how can I feel at ease letting you dine alone with them?"
His well-proportioned fingers threaded through her silky, smooth bangs as Sasaki leaned down and gently kissed the girl's smooth, white forehead.
Seeing her eyes tremble like emeralds, his fingers brushed past her high, delicate nose, reaching her soft, cherry-like lips.
Watching her flickering brows and slightly panicked expression, Sasaki hesitated in his plan to pull her to his side.
If he took her now, what would she do if she discovered his relationship with Aunt Kyouka later?
He could hide it for a while but not forever.
Living together every day, Sister Yuuka wasn't stupid; she would find out eventually.
If she found out she had been... cuckolded, who could bear that?
So, before having Aunt Kyouka, he had to keep some distance from her.
Because, with Sister Yuuka's personality, she definitely couldn't accept being cuckolded.
But if it were the other way around, and she cuckolded someone else, who knows?
No one can resist the temptation to be the one in control! (Of being Yellow hair...)
No one!
Having made up his mind, Sasaki swallowed back the teasing words that were about to come to his lips.
Instead, he started talking about things like "Sister Yuuka has a really good skin."
But Tachibana Yuuka, who didn't want to hear these things, put on a mask of pain.
His previous words, coupled with the action of him kissing her forehead, the following development was obviously heading in an ambiguous direction, how could this...
Her chest felt extremely stuffy, as if she had eaten a piece of bread but it was stuck in her esophagus and he could neither swallow it nor spit it out.
This feeling of frustration that made her want to beat her chest made Yuuka grit her teeth and raise her hand to beat his chest.
"You are such a useless guy! I gave you a chance but you are useless!!!"
"Ahem~"
"Why are you hitting me?"
Although the beating didn't hurt, in order to let her release the anger in her heart, Sasaki still frowned and pretended to rub his chest.
"My hands are itching! No! Can't I!" She hit him word by word.
Looking up at his face, her teeth itching with hatred,
The more she looked at him, the angrier she became.
"Okay, okay, okay~ Sister Yuuka can keep hitting me~"
Holding the little fist that was as soft and tender as dough, Sasaki spoke to her in a tone like coaxing a child.
"Who wants to keep beating you? You're so tough" After a fake struggle, Yuuka let him hold her hand while looking at his chest in confusion:
"Have you been working out?"
"Yes. Otherwise, how could I carry such heavy luggage up here?"
"Oh~ Not bad. I asked you to exercise but you refused. Now you seem to have gotten the hang of it after visiting the hospital."
"Come, let me see."
As she spoke, Yuuka pulled out the little hand that he was holding and lifted up the white short-sleeved shirt he was wearing.
Looking at the slender abdominal muscles in front of her that looked as if they were cut by a knife or an axe, the girl couldn't help but blink in daze.
"Have you taken any medicines?"
Although she had never lifted his clothes to see him bare before, Tachibana Yuuka knew that Sasaki rarely exercised.
It's only been a few days since he was discharged from the hospital...
Wasn't this a bit too exaggerated...
She stretched out her slender white fingers and pointed, then muttered to herself.
"It's quite solid."
"I didn't start exercising after I was discharged from the hospital. It's probably because I was born with a low body fat percentage."
Slapping her somewhat dishonest little hands away, Sasaki pulled down his short sleeves and said:
"Although Otome has already cleaned the house, don't you plan to tidy it up again?"
Hearing this, the girl didn't speak a word, and instead just lay on Sasaki's legs, looking at his slowly frowning face with a smile.
"Shit! I shouldn't have asked!"
Thinking that he still had to help her clean the house, Sasaki, who was a lazy guy, subconsciously wanted to stand up and run away.
"Um?!"
But the dissatisfied hum he heard made him sit back down obediently.
"Don't you not want me to look inside the suitcase?"
"Just unpack it without any nonsense."
With her eyes flickering for a moment, Yuuka sat up, stretching her slender body with her back to Sasaki, she turned her head and said:
"I'm going downstairs first. Make sure to neatly fold the clothes and put them in the wardrobe. I'll check!"
"If I find out you've been sloppy..."
"Hmph!"
.
.
.
A gentle breeze wafted a faint fragrance that lingered at the tip of his nose.
Sitting on the edge of the bed, Sasaki watched Tachibana Yuuka's graceful back disappear through the door and then turned his head to look at the light blue lace bunny cage that lay quietly on the bed, not yet put away.
If this was one of life's three great misconceptions, he would eat the bunny cage on the spot!
Confirming that Sister Yuuka was genuinely interested in him, Sasaki now faced three choices.
The first choice was to be a gentleman, not looking where he shouldn't and pretending not to see.
The second choice was to satisfy his male curiosity and test the texture of the lace bunny cage, which might still be warm...
The third choice was to hide the bunny cage, leaving the bunnies homeless and driving her crazy!
But this choice might make her think he was a pervert...
After a moment of inner conflict, Sasaki, who was neither a perfect gentleman nor a pervert and whose curiosity wasn't overwhelming, decided to put the light blue bunny cage in the wardrobe.
Since she had clearly left it on the bed, it was obviously a hint for Sasaki to put it away.
With this thought in mind, he turned and picked up the bunny cage.
It was coarse and rustling at the edges, unlike the smoothness of stockings, but in the center, it was as soft as a sponge.
Perhaps it was due to the heat outside, but when Sasaki picked it up, he felt a slight warmth...
As for the smell...
Some people sniff their freshly removed socks, so this wouldn't count as being a pervert, right?
After all, what's his is Sister Yuuka's, and what's hers is his.
So, if others can smell their socks, it's normal for Sasaki to smell his own bunny cage.
Having justified his actions, he brought the bunny cage close to his nose.
Sniff sniff~
Hmm~ There was a faint, sweet scent of milk candy, but it was very light.
Since Sasaki wasn't a pervert, he couldn't have any improper thoughts about a piece of fabric.
So, after a brief sniff to confirm it didn't need washing, he folded it and put it in the wardrobe.
After that...
Walking slowly towards the suitcase placed by the door, Sasaki tipped the heavy suitcase onto the floor.
Although the suitcase wasn't much of a burden for him, it would be quite heavy for an average girl.
But aside from clothes, what else could a girl possibly put in her suitcase?
Cosmetics? They wouldn't be willing to store them in there…
With these doubts in mind, Sasaki entered Yuuka's birthday into the combination lock.
Click~
'What's inside?'
Just as he wondered, the black suitcase exploded like a firework, scattering colorful "fireworks" all around.
Although they were colorful, black and white dominated the "fireworks."
Moreover, the materials of these black-and-white "fireworks" were all semi-transparent silk fabrics.
Around the silk fabrics were intricate lace patterns.
With a quick glance, he noticed these "fireworks" came in various sizes.
Some were large enough to cover the entire body, while others were only the size of a palm…
'Well, well…'
Throwing the "fireworks" in his hand onto the bed, Sasaki squatted down and rummaged through the suitcase.
'Come to think of it, there's no way the entire suitcase is filled with these…'
Seeing the normal clothes buried under the "fireworks," he smiled and shook his head.
Sister Yuuka really... didn't want him to miss any of this...
But... Sasaki enjoyed saying NO to people who were overconfident!
He wouldn't respond to Sister Yuuka's advances until he had conquered Aunt Kyouka.
No matter how obvious she made it…
He!
Sasaki was not one to be swayed by feminine charm!
