“Which way is your house?”
“Just a little further along the river bank.”
“That should get you home pretty quick.”
I didn’t want her to catch a cold while she was out there, and I was one step away from being a pervert, to put it mildly, now that I was walking around with a soaking wet girl wearing an overstuffed jacket.
I had to get her home as soon as possible,
“By the way, what’s your name, Mr. Underpants?”
The girl asked, looking up at me as we walked.
“Me? I’m Konno Sota.
I’m a high school flower boy.”
“Then you must be Sota Onii chan.”
“Ahaha. I’m an only child and I’ve never been called “Onii chan,” so it’s kind of itchy to be called like that.”
All of my classmates complain about their little sister being cheeky and annoying, but I would definitely want a cute little sister like her.
“I have a big sister. She’s a high school student like Sota Onii chan, and she’s kind, beautiful, and my pride and joy.”
“I see, you have an older sister. She must be a beautiful girl just like you.”
“Yes, she is very beautiful.”
She must be really proud of her big sister.
The girl who talks about her sister seems to be very happy and somewhat proud of her.
“Oh, by the way, what’s your name?”
“My name is Himemiya Mizuki. I had a birthday just a few days ago and I turned 9 years old.”
“Himemiya……?”
I was surprised to hear Mizuki chan’s unusual last name, and for a moment, I was a little confused.
“Yes, that’s right…but what’s wrong with that?”
Mizuki chan looked up at me curiously.
I quickly snapped out of it.
“I’m sorry, sorry, it’s nothing. I just thought it was an unusual last name. Mizuki chan, right? You’re so polite for someone so young.”
“Hehehe, thank you.”
But, seriously.
I’m not sure I could have introduced myself so well when I had just turned 9 years old.
…No matter how I look back on it, it’s impossible, yeah.
Because I was running around like an idiot, taking cicadas and dragonflies with my bug net.
We finished introducing ourselves as we talked.
I continued walking and talking with Mizuki chan, and within 10 minutes we arrived at a well-maintained house.
It was dark inside and I didn’t feel any crowd.
And it seems I’m not mistaken,
“Thank you for lending me your jacket. It was warm.”
“That’s good to know.”
Mizuki chan returned the jacket to me, and then took out a duplicate key that she had hidden under a potted plant by the front door, as if she had become accustomed to doing so.
“Your family isn’t home? So I guess there’s nothing more I can do. Oh yeah, first of all, take a hot shower right away so you don’t catch a cold, okay? You don’t have to do anything else, okay? Warm up your body first, get it?”
“Yes !”
“That’s a good answer.”
Mizuki chan cheerfully replies, and I feel a sense of relief for the first time since we met today.
She’s only 9 years old, but she’s a really well-behaved girl……
Actually, I feel like I might catch a cold if I keep talking lazily.
When I was swimming, I was so focused on saving Mizuki chan that I didn’t feel the coldness of the river water.
But now that I think back on it calmly, I realize that it was quite cold.
I should just go home and take a shower that’s too hot for me.
I was thinking like that inwardly,
“Um, Sota Onii chan, why don’t you take a shower, too? Otherwise, Sota Onii chan will catch a cold.
Mizuki chan asked me worriedly.
“At Mizuki chan’s house? Umm, I think I’d better refrain from doing that.”
Imagine this.
A high school boy going into a 9-year-old girl’s house while her family was away and taking a shower.
No matter how you think about it, it’s not a good idea.
It is bad,
It’s not even on the level of “bad” anymore.
If I were Mizuki chan’s father I would have said,
[I won’t forgive you ! ! Go to hell ! ! ! !]
The moment he found the tramp he would have snapped, beaten him up as hard as he could, and immediately reported him to the police.
No doubt about it.
“I see…….”
Mizuki chan was visibly depressed, but it couldn’t be helped.
Or rather, I feel like I’ve become attached to Mizuki chan in a strange way.
“Come on, stop making that face. I’m relatively close to here, so I’ll take a shower as soon as I get home. I’ll be fine, so don’t worry, Mizuki chan.”
“I understand…..”
I told her gently, and then decided to part ways with Mizuki chan once and for all, thinking that talking about it for too long would only make us both physically cold.
“Huh? Konno kun? …Right?”
Suddenly, a familiar voice came over my back.
Eh, this voice—
