Chapter 10
Kanashizuku Wants Confirmation
“Good morning, Kanashizuku.”
“…Good morning.”
The next morning at school, I greeted Kanashizuku as usual, but she returned my greeting with far less energy than normal.
“Kanashizuku, what’s wrong? You seem less energetic than usual today.”
As I said that and took my seat, Kanashizuku, sitting across from me, spoke with a gloomy expression.
“That’s not true.”
Even saying that with such an expression had no convincing power… Now that I think about it, her behavior also seemed strange when we parted yesterday.
As I was thinking that, Kanashizuku spoke up.
“…Was your outing with Yuumi-chan yesterday fun?”
“Huh? Oh, yeah, it was fun… It felt like we finally went out as siblings again. There was a little bit of a mishap, though.”
“Mishap…?”
There’s no way I could tell her that my little sister had asked me to undress her.
“…That part is a secret. I managed to get through it somehow.”
“…You mean you did something that you have to keep secret from me?”
“I didn’t. Like I said, I just managed to get through it.”
“What were you trying to do?”
“I wasn’t trying to do anything—wait, maybe it’s faster if I just tell you.”
Thinking about it, Kanashizuku already knows the most abnormal thing—that Yuumi has said she wants to marry me—so telling her anything else probably wouldn’t be a problem. Besides, telling her might give us some ideas for how to deal with Yuumi.
So, during the next break, Kanashizuku and I went to the back of the school building, a place hardly anyone ever goes.
Then she asked immediately:
“So, what’s the secret?”
“Ah… Actually, yesterday, Yuumi asked me to undress her.”
“…Undress, huh?… What?”
“My clothes.”
When I answered that, Kanashizuku froze for a moment, then gave me a very cold look and said:
“So… did you undress her?”
“Of course not! I behaved properly as her brother and didn’t do such a thing.”
“I see… that’s good, then.”
Kanashizuku said this with an expression of slight relief.
After that, for some reason, she looked at her own body for a few seconds, then looked at me and asked:
“Hey, does Yuumi-chan have bigger breasts than me?”
“…Huh? I-I’m sorry, I don’t understand the point of the question.”
Knowing Kanashizuku, there’s definitely some reason behind her question, but at the very least, my brain couldn’t come up with an answer.
“Don’t think about the reason, just answer me.”
This is probably related to dealing with Yuumi somehow… But both Yuumi and Kanashizuku have large chests, so it’s hard to tell under their uniforms.
“I can’t tell through the uniform.”
“…I see.”
For now, that ended the topic—
“Then, I’m going to take it off now so you can check directly.”
“Take it off… what are you talking about?”
Before I could react, Kanashizuku actually started undoing the buttons of her uniform.
“Wait! You’re going to take it off here at the back of the school?”
“No one’s looking. Or would it be okay if it wasn’t behind the school?”
“That’s not the point!”
What…? Is there really some deep reason for this? Otherwise, there’d be no reason for her to undress in front of me… What on earth—While I was thinking that, Kanashizuku kept undoing her buttons.
From her question, I tried to think of a hint to stop her from undressing—right.
“Kanashizuku, I’ve never seen Yuumi’s undressed body, so I can’t compare who has bigger breasts, Yuumi or you.”
Yes, for some reason, Kanashizuku was worried about whether her chest was bigger than Yuumi’s.
So, if she can’t confirm that, she has no reason to undress.
When I said that, as expected, Kanashizuku stopped undoing her buttons and looked at me, instead of the buttons, and said:
“…I see. So I’d be undressing for nothing?”
“I don’t know if it’s nothing or something, but even if you undress, it won’t change anything.”
After thinking for a moment, Kanashizuku re-buttoned all her clothes and leaned against the wall behind the school building.
“Even so… asking to be undressed… Yuumi-chan really does see Ichito as a man, doesn’t she?”
“…I guess so.”
“At this rate, it might not be long before she asks to… do more.”
“….”
I don’t remember if she actually said she wanted that, but at least she seemed to approve of that kind of thing with me.
I decided there was no need to tell Kanashizuku that part, so I omitted it when telling her about my conversation with Yuumi.
As I awkwardly looked away, Kanashizuku sharpened her gaze and said:
“Hey… you’re not secretly already being told that and hiding it from me, are you?”
