"Okay, I understand."
Having heard Lumine's answer, Kaito nodded.
Although Lumine's behavior was a bit strange, it didn't matter; as long as he asked and she answered, that was enough.
What exactly did you understand?
Seeing Kaito nod as if he really understood something, Lumine silently retorted in her heart. However, she only complained internally and didn't say it out loud. Furthermore, there were more important things at hand; she wanted to see what Kaito would say or do next.
"Actually, I was thinking... if you were wearing something underneath, it might be better to take off the bathrobe and measure again."
Under Lumine's gaze, Kaito spoke slowly.
In reality, Kaito knew that looking at a swimsuit and looking at intimate underwear were different matters. But he also knew that the atmosphere between them had always been stuck in that awkward "if you don't speak, I won't speak" stalemate. So, he simply wanted to use this as a test to see if he could push their awkward relationship forward.
But since Lumine wasn't wearing anything underneath right now, he decided to drop it. Anyway, he had already conveyed his intentions effectively; now it depended on how Lumine would react.
This Kaito...
If you want to see, just say so directly...
Why beat around the bush like this...
Regarding Kaito's answer, Lumine complained about him in her heart again. After all, she understood a boy's needs, but Kaito beating around the bush like this was really...
Sigh...
I'll just be direct...
It feels like getting him to say something like that is already hard enough...
Thinking quickly, Lumine formed her own idea.
"Isn't that about the same?"
Just as Kaito was wondering whether to ask Lumine to go inside and measure herself or put on underwear and measure again, Lumine suddenly dropped this line.
About the same?
Pondering the meaning of Lumine's words, Kaito obviously hadn't expected to hear such an answer.
What does 'about the same' mean?
Does she mean that wearing nothing is the same as wearing something, so it's about the same?
Thinking about this possibility, Kaito was a bit bewildered; he still wasn't sure what Lumine meant.
"Alright, hurry up and measure."
After saying this, Lumine immediately turned around. At the same time, she allowed the bathrobe to slide halfway down her body, leaving it hanging only by the sleeves on her arms, while her smooth back was fully exposed behind her.
Lumine wanted to see if Kaito would try to turn her around then. After all, just looking at the back shouldn't be enough for Kaito, right?
Hmm...
Should I say something like 'it's better not to look at the front'?
With her back to Kaito, feeling her skin exposed to the air, Lumine thought silently to herself. However, she knew that if she really said that, Kaito might genuinely not do it. So, she decided to stay silent and see if Kaito dared to make a move himself.
"No problem."
Seeing Lumine act this way, Kaito understood. However, at this moment, he was actually quite calm internally, without any strange reactions.
There was no helping it; the current him understood girls' bodies too well. He even possessed several girls' bodies himself, which was simply beyond ordinary imagination.
Afterwards, Kaito measured Lumine's waist again.
"About 50."
Very quickly, Kaito obtained the specific data, leaving Lumine speechless.
Is this guy really that fast?
Originally, she felt that her waist would be touched here and there by Kaito's hands. As a result, Lumine only felt the touch of the soft tape measure against her body, and then Kaito was done. This was way too fast.
"You're way too fast with this."
This time, Lumine finally couldn't help but complain out loud; she couldn't hold it back anymore.
"It's okay, I'll be slower in other aspects."
As soon as Lumine's voice fell, Kaito spoke from behind her.
Other aspects?
Lumine, who hadn't expected Kaito to say this, was stunned for a moment. She was very curious as to what these 'other aspects' were.
"What other aspects? Hmm?"
Subconsciously, Lumine asked this question. Then, she felt Kaito hug her from behind and bring her down onto the bed.
"Today, it's just the two of us, Lumine."
Lying on his side on the bed, Kaito spoke slowly.
Although on the surface it looked like he had many girlfriends, Kaito, who actually only had himself, didn't know if he should be doing this right now. But his intuition told him he could try.
After all, Lumine's various words and actions were already obvious enough; there was no need for him to play dumb anymore. Of course, if he was mistaken, he would immediately stand up, apologize, and pretend nothing happened.
"Y-Yeah..."
Regarding this sudden change, Lumine hadn't expected it at all, and just responded blankly. There was no helping it; Kaito's change before and after was truly drastic—suddenly wanting to do this.
Originally, she thought Kaito would continue his 'straight man' behavior and ignore her, but she was wrong.
Just like that, the two lay on the bed without looking at each other. But actually, Lumine really wanted to turn over and look, but she didn't.
Lumine: "!"
Just as Lumine was wondering what she should say, she felt the bathrobe hanging on her arms being taken off by Kaito from behind.
