"Hikari-kun, do you want to take a shower first after coming back? If you don't want to, I'll go first."
After calming down, Tsubakihara Yuna spoke up and asked Hikari.
"Yuna-neesan, you go first. I'll sit a bit longer," Hikari said.
"Alright~", Hearing his answer, Tsubakihara Yuna immediately hummed a little tune as she walked into the bathroom.
After chatting a few more words with Hikari, Tsubakihara Nina said she was going to study and went back upstairs to her room.
Seeing that both Tsubakihara sisters had left, Hikari took out his phone and checked the messages that seemed to have come in earlier.
[Mifuyu Yukino: "Hikari-kun, it's already dark, you know. When are you coming over to my place? (rubbing hands like a fly.jpg)"]
[Hikari: "Sorry, Yukino-chan. I probably can't make it today. Let's do it tomorrow."]
[Yukino: (cat crying.jpg)]
[Yukino]: "Why! Didn't you come back to Tokyo from the countryside? Why!"]
[Hikari: "Because my family, they…"]
Hikari gave her a rough explanation.
Originally, after returning to Tokyo from the countryside, he planned to come back to the Tsubakihara house first.
Have a meal with Miss Mira and the Tsubakihara sisters, whom he hadn't seen for a while.
Then go find Yukino and the others, and stay overnight at Harmony Apartment.
But from the moment they met, during the meal, and just now while chatting, Miss Mira, Tsubakihara Yuna, and Tsubakihara Nina had repeatedly asked him to stay overnight at home.
Under their strong insistence, Hikari had no choice but to agree.
And Miss Mira even said she'd give him some kind of reward later.
There was really no way for him to get away.
After hearing his explanation, Yukino showed understanding, being quite considerate.
She just sent another crying cat sticker.
Then said that as long as he definitely came over tomorrow, it would be fine.
Seeing how understanding she was after the explanation, Hikari let out a breath and put down his phone.
A snow woman's needs are quite substantial.
And after his diligent "development," Yukino's potential had been further drawn out.
Now, even if thousands of ordinary people came, they probably wouldn't be enough for her alone.
Numbers no longer worked. It had to be quality.
Only Hikari could stand against her.
And Yukino would never consider anyone other than him.
She was only focused on waiting for him.
In this situation, Hikari had left her alone for several days.
No wonder she was getting a bit impatient.
However, he had given her some items to calm the mind and steady the spirit.
That should allow her to suppress her desire without her will collapsing.
Actually, although her needs were great, Yukino wasn't incapable of controlling herself.
It was just that she liked Hikari too much now, so she looked forward to him intensely.
Hikari also knew that tomorrow would probably be a tough battle.
So tonight, he planned to rest well and build up his strength.
———
Next, after many girls learned that Hikari had returned to Tokyo, they invited him over to stay the night.
Including but not limited to Natsuha, Akane, Louisa, and the three gyaru girls like Reina, Yukina and Ruri who liked to throw parties at his place.
As well as Kisaragi Tomoe, the Sakurmiya sisters, Chizuru and Mashiro, Amakawa Kanade, Serizawa Yukiha, the mother and daughter Katsuragi Sayaka, and so on.
In short, after replying to each of them one by one and telling them to reschedule, quite a bit of his time had already been spent.
Just as Hikari had been busy for quite a while and was finally about to finish, the bathroom door not far from the living room suddenly opened a crack.
A sneaky little pretty head peeked out from behind the door.
When she saw that Hikari was still sitting in the living room, Tsubakihara Yuna, who had just been bathing, quickly called out, "Hikari-kun! Hikari-kun! Come here for a second, your big sister needs your help."
"What is it, Yuna-neesan?", Hearing the urgency in her voice, Hikari immediately got up and walked over.
"I forgot to bring a bath towel. Hikari-kun, help me get one," Tsubakihara Yuna pleaded pitifully.
At this time, Tsubakihara Nina had already gone upstairs to study, and Miss Mira had gone out somewhere, maybe to take out the trash. At a glance, Hikari was the only one left at home.
So even though it was a bit embarrassing to say, Tsubakihara Yuna could only ask him for help.
"Yuna-neesan, you can even forget a towel when taking a bath? You're not messing with me, are you?", Hikari looked at her pretty, cute face, which also had a slightly airheaded look, feeling rather helpless.
"Hmph! It's all because of that scary story you told earlier, about that thing from the mountains twisting around and stuff. It really startled me. Especially that Hachisaku-sama thing, she even eats little boys."
"Ah! It's seriously too scary. Just thinking about it now makes my legs go weak."
"It's because your story was so scary that I forgot to bring a towel."
"Alright, hurry and get it for me, or I'm going to catch a cold!"
Tsubakihara Yuna urged.
Seeing her helpless look, Hikari turned and went upstairs, to get her a towel.
Coming down with the towel in hand, Hikari saw that the bathroom door was still slightly ajar.
But perhaps because it was cold, Tsubakihara Yuna had pulled her head back in. Only a few strands of golden hair were visible.
Perhaps because she was close to the bathroom's glass door, through the light and shadow at the doorway, Hikari could vaguely see an extremely graceful, curving silhouette.
Her figure rose and fell in all the right places.
Those curves outlined a very alluring scene.
If he had seen this some time ago, Hikari would probably have had his blood surge, struggling to keep himself in check.
But now, having seen much more, he only reacted slightly out of courtesy.
Then he knocked lightly on the door and said, "Yuna-neesan, I've brought the towel. Open the door."
"Okay, don't peek!"
Hearing him, Tsubakihara Yuna opened the door a little wider, stretched out a fair, jade-like arm, grabbed the towel, and quickly pulled it back in.
Although her movements were very quick, the distance between them was still too close.
And with Hikari's current physical condition, his dynamic vision was extremely good.
Even in that brief instant, he could see quite a bit.
He could have just handed the towel in, yet she still reached her arm out.
'No wonder Nina-neesan always says Yuna-neesan is a bit foolish.'
Seeing how much Tsubakihara Yuna had changed compared to when they used to run around naked playing in the water as kids, it was like night and day.
Hikari shook his head helplessly.
He turned and went back to the sofa to sit down.
Took out his phone and played with it for a bit.
Not long after, wrapped in a towel, with her hair still slightly damp, Tsubakihara Yuna walked out of the bathroom.
"Where's Nina?", Coming over to his side, she casually asked.
Having just finished bathing, and sitting very close to him, Hikari could clearly smell her scent.
The fragrance of body wash and shampoo, mixed with a faint, natural scent of a girl.
It smelled very pleasant.
You could even say it was "food-grade."
Hikari couldn't help but glance at this airhead.
"Nina said she was going to study, so she went upstairs to read," he replied.
"That girl, she really is studious."
"Hikari-kun finally came back, and she doesn't even spend more time with you. That's too much~", With her sister not around, Tsubakihara Yuna cheerfully spoke ill of her without restraint.
Hikari naturally understood what she meant, so he just smiled and shook his head.
At this moment, Tsubakihara Yuna suddenly placed her hand at her waist and pulled her bathrobe tighter.
As the tight robe outlined her well-proportioned figure, she wore a charming smile on her fair face and asked playfully, "Hikari-kun, look. Doesn't big sister look good like this?"
Hikari turned his head, glanced at her, and nodded, "Yeah, looks pretty good. But Yuna-neesan, don't be too playful. Be careful your robe falls off."
"Hehe! It won't fall. My figure's so full, how could it slip off~", She bragged a little first.
Then Tsubakihara Yuna suddenly asked curiously, "Hikari-kun, tell big sister honestly. Recently, did girls confess to you? And more than one, right?"
Hearing her sudden question, Hikari was momentarily puzzled, "Why would you say that?"
Tsubakihara Yuna smiled, hands on her hips, pushing her well-developed chest forward proudly, "As a teenage boy, seeing your big sister, such a perfect beautiful girl, wrapped in a bathrobe, offering this top-tier eye candy, and you can still keep your eyes straight."
"You're not even blushing. That's clearly not normal, right?"
"Before, when you saw big sister like this, you'd at least blush a little, wouldn't you?", She explained with a grin.
"We used to run around naked together when we were kids. It's not like I don't know what you're like," Hikari instinctively retorted.
But halfway through, he suddenly realized, what this airheaded big sister said might not be completely without reason.
It did seem to be as she said.
If it were him from earlier, seeing the now fully developed Tsubakihara Yuna wrapped only in a towel, he would definitely have felt at least a bit unnatural, no matter how familiar they were.
