I left the room with Kano and headed for the family bath. She’d already handled all the reservations, so I didn’t need to do anything.
”…You’re really going to do this?”
“Obviously.”
Right. No talking her out of it. Push too hard and I risked her actually telling Suzuno about the ero-manga.
We arrived at the family-bath entrance, took off our shoes and socks, went in, and locked the door behind us.
“By the way, are you going to wear a swimsuit or…?”
“It’s a bath — swimsuits aren’t a thing. I didn’t bring one on this trip anyway.”
”…Right.”
So she was going in fully nude. A swimsuit would have helped a lot, but pressing further wasn’t going to change anything.
Thinking about that, I started undressing. Shirt, undershirt, pants — then I hesitated at the boxers.
But you can’t take a bath in your underwear, obviously, so they had to come off. I bit the bullet, got my hands on them — and then noticed Kano’s eyes on me.
“Don’t stare so hard, please…”
“What? It’s not like it costs anything.”
“Maybe not, but it’s embarrassing.”
I kept my eyes pointedly away from her. Looking at her in her current state would risk waking up the lower half.
If that happened, she’d absolutely use it as ammunition. Giving her more leverage over me was something I had to avoid at all costs.
“We’re about to bathe together anyway, so it’s just a matter of when, but fine — I’ll allow it this once.”
“I’ll head in first.”
“Yeah, I’ll be there soon.”
I got the boxers off, wrapped a towel around my waist, and headed into the bath area. Before getting in the tub I had to wash, so I sat on the bath chair at the washing station.
I worked from head down with a towel. Right as I finished, Kano came in.
“P-put a towel on at least!”
“It’s just us two — I figured why bother.”
“That is not an answer.”
I’d assumed she’d wrap up and let my guard down — completely got an eyeful of full Kano nudity. I’ve seen plenty of female bodies in adult videos. In real life, near zero.
Various parts of me threatened to spring to life. I started counting primes to calm down. 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19… wait, is 23 prime?
Normally something like that wouldn’t shake me — apparently I was rattled worse than I thought.
“Hey, while we’re here, Yuito, why don’t you wash me?”
“No — what do you mean while we’re here. Do that yourself.”
She’d casually demanded I wash her, and I shut it down on the spot. Agreeing to that would push my self-control past the breaking point.
“Aw — Yuito, are you saying you can’t grant your big sister’s request?”
“Obviously. If I asked you the same thing, would you do it?”
“Of course your big sister would happily wash adorable Yuito’s body.”
I lost all my words. That was supposed to be the place where you go no, that’s weird. Why are you so into this?
“Then no complaints, right? Start from the head.”
“H-hold on…”
She’d grabbed my wrist and guided it to her head. She was serious. No way out now.
I poured shampoo into her hair and slowly worked up a lather. Long blonde hair took time, but I got it done.
“Like this?”
“Yeah. Thanks.”
“I’ll rinse — close your eyes.”
“Yep.”
I turned on the shower and rinsed her hair. The lather sluiced away clean under the pressure.
“Now wash my body.”
”…Quick check — all of it?”
“Personally I was planning for Yuito to wash all of me — boobs and down there included?”
“Please, no.”
Just looking at her painfully pale, alluring skin was warping my brain — directly washing it would end my reason.
“All right, all right. Don’t want to tease you too hard. I’ll let it go this time.”
“Thank god…”
“But you’re going to wash me properly next time.”
”…You’re planning another overnight with me?”
“Yep. Look forward to the invitation.”
Oh god — seriously? I’d burn out if she kept dragging me into this. I needed a countermeasure.
