Vol 1 Chapter 14 (1/2)

Having just entered the sports building, I felt like I was in an ultra-luxurious fitness club.

The sun had almost set and it was close to dinner time so there wasn’t anyone inside.

I had come here to use the bath.

The special bath for my personal use was still in construction (on hold until my parent’s house was done) and, having said that, I had been told that I couldn’t use the same bath as the young ladies. It troubled me.

I wasn’t really thinking of anything despicable, okay?

And so, upon telling Aika that I’d had enough and wanted to refresh myself, she went ‘Filthy! Don’t come near me!’, while being way too honest with me and telling me to come here.

I pa.s.sed by the restroom that Aika had been eating in. But, I mean, the sports building again? What else to expect?

“Um… is it here?”

Following the guideposts, I arrived in front of the locker room.

Grabbing the door handle, I went inside—

——Wait a sec.

If enter without warning, it’s not impossible that some kinda lucky misfortune might happen, like there actually still being girls inside, changing. Well, I guess it’s rather something bad than lucky.

I carefully tried to sense if anyone was inside, and then I slowly pulled the door.

And inside the locker room—was no one.

Whew.

I took one of the dark brown wisteria baskets that were arranged in a neat line, and carefully placed my stripped clothes inside.

I headed towards the frosted gla.s.s door in my birthday suit, and——

*slideopen*

“Ah, Kiryuu. Good work toda—…”

Arisugawa-san was in the bathroom.

“————”

She realized it was me.

Arisugawa-san didn’t seem to be fully aware of what was going on yet and had her mouth slightly open. She had just come out of the bath, so she was of course stark naked.

Her wet skin was sleek, supple, and slightly steaming from the hot water.

Arisugawa-san’s big b.r.e.a.s.t.s—that I happened to have squeezed earlier—her slender belly, her thighs—— Water drops ran down on all of her perfect curves, her plump body was superb. Back to her thighs, if I’d have made her wear knee socks, her tightened absolute zone[1] and the out spilling bits would carry a absolutely destructive power that would virtually overwhelm me. I could see just about everything.

It was the first time in my life that I saw this.

“…………”

And looking at me, Arisugawa-san’s gaze went… down.

I was just as naked.

“————~~~~~~~~!”

“U——UWAAAAAAA—?!”

I leaked a scream, s.n.a.t.c.hed the nearby basket, and dashed out.

“S-SORRY—!”

I said through the closed door and ran for the corridor—still stark naked.

Reiko… gave in to her knees and sunk down with a thud.

She placed her hands on her chest. Her fingers had gotten numb and couldn’t feel a thing.

Her breathing was out of control too.

What was this? It was surely very startling and embarra.s.sing, but…

But—— it wasn’t unpleasant.

It had been a sensation she hadn’t experienced before. However, she knew the reason.

——Because it had been Kimito-sama.

Because what she had been able to see was… the lovely Kimito-sama.

Remembering it, she went completely red in embarra.s.sment again. Both her hands accompanying her face seemed to burn. But still—— it felt pleasing, somehow.

She had been seen naked.

And she had seen him naked.

Exposing one’s skin to the opposite s.e.x without a reason—it was something a lady must never do.

That’s what the teachers had told her. Only do it for the person your heart’s set on. Only do it for the one whose wife you’ll become.

And her mother and grandmother had said so too.

That’s why, yes… it came down to this…

She could do nothing but become his wife.

Reiko hugged her body tightly. Her ample b.r.e.a.s.t.s were crushed by her arms, water drops slipped into her valley.

“I… must do it…”

She had to.

Ah, but it wasn’t like that.
