“You seemed to be having a lot of fun earlier.”
When I entered the kitchen to give my order, I was taking a break to rehydrate when Fuyusaki spoke to me, emitting a black aura.
“You must be mistaken, I looked busy, right?”
“Were you?
“Your nose was stretched all over the place.”
Fuyusaki’s awkward attitude was quite refreshing and interesting, but now she’s troublesome.
“I was wondering if you guys were dating in secret?”
“That’s just banter. Don’t make any strange guesses.”
Even so, Fuyusaki’s suspicions were not cleared.
Why is she so suspicious of me?
As if to answer this question, Fuyusaki continued.
“What do you think? I heard from Hananoi san that you’re not good with girls, but I didn’t see any sign of that.”
At that comment, my movements stopped.
Fuyusaki also tilts her head, feeling suspicious of my sudden silence.
“…Come to think of it, even when Sasagawa touched me, I didn’t tremble.”
Even when I first entered high school, I was already fine with just a touch of the hand.
However, if she was that close to me before, I would have been trembling.
And yet, when Sasagawa wrapped her arms around me, I remembered how calm I was.
“…..Did I get over it?”
“Mitsui kun?”
I was in my own world, and Fuyusaki’s voice startled me.
I remember that I’m at work right now, so I put the water on the desk and take the tray with me.
“Sorry, I was a little dazed. I’m going back to work.”
“Ah, yes.”
With that, I left the kitchen.
Around two o’clock in the afternoon, when the customers had settled down, I passed the baton to Rikuto and the others, and the four of us went into our free time.
“Okay ! Kenchi, let’s play !”
“No, I’ll rest in the shade and you can go with Fuyusaki.”
“Really? Then, Fuyusaki, let’s play !”
“No, I’ll rest in the shade, too. Go with Nezuka kun.”
“T-that so? Then, Nezuchi, I’ll play—“
“I’ll take a little rest too. So–“
“You’ve got to be kidding me !”
Sasagawa exclaimed when everyone said they were going to take a break.
“We’ve come all the way to the beach, it would be a waste not to have some fun !”
“That’s what I thought before I started working, but now I’m tired.”
“No, we have plenty of time to spare !”
“Sasagawa san, everyone feels differently.”
“Don’t be so righteous, Fuyusaki san !”
“Fufufu, you seem to be in trouble, Kaoru.”
I heard a voice from behind me and turned around to see Wado, who had supposedly changed shifts, standing there with a sneering smile on her face.
“Wado, what are you doing here? Don’t tell me you skipped work?”
“Of course not. Rikuto chan said I could go and play.”
Rikuto is too easy on Wado.
I have to remind him.
“Also, Karasawa kun said no one else would want to play with him.”
Makoto is looking too far ahead.
But it’s the right thing to do.
“So, Kaoru ! Let’s play !”
“That’s the way !”
Saying this, the two of them took the ball and ran to the sea.
About 10 minutes later.
The three of us were staring at the ocean, and Nezuka left to go get a drink.
We could have bought them at the beach house, but it was snack time and there were quite a few people in line, and he said he would go to the vending machine to buy them.
It was typical of Nezuka not to use the authority of the concerned parties.
Naturally, me and Fuyusaki are alone.
“…The ocean, it’s so beautiful.”
“Yes, it is.”
Perhaps still slightly angry, her reply is curt.
It’s not a big deal, but I can’t help but feel uncomfortable when there are only two of us.
“…When you said you overcame that earlier, did you mean you overcame your dislike of women?”
When I thought she started talking, she seemed to be continuing what we had talked about earlier.
She seemed to have heard my muttering.
“Well, I’m not sure, but I just thought so.”
At that time, was I okay with it because I thought I was helping Sasagawa, or was I okay with it because it was Sasagawa?
I don’t know about that, but I certainly wasn’t shaking.
“…..Let’s find out.”
“How?”
“Please follow me.”
Fuyusaki stood up and walked away.
I had nothing special to do, so I followed her.
I couldn’t leave Fuyusaki alone.
After walking for a while, I found a rock a little bigger than my height.
There was not a single person around the rock, probably because it was not well maintained and dangerous.
“Isn’t it dangerous here?”
“But people don’t come here, do they?”
That’s true, but wasn’t she supposed to check to see if my trauma had healed?
As I was floating the question, Fuyusaki took off the beach house T-shirt she was wearing.
At that moment, as before, I was speechless.
“H-how’d you like it?”
Underneath the T-shirt, she was naturally wearing a swimsuit, and Fuyusaki’s swimsuit was a simple white bikini type, which fully showed off Fuyusaki’s good style.
Moreover, the degree of exposure is unimaginable for Fuyusaki, who is usually so guarded, so there is a synergistic effect.
“Please be honest ! ……I know it doesn’t suit me.”
“Of course it looks good on you ! No, it’s rather erotic.”
“Please don’t say anything more.”
I was silenced by the indescribable pressure.
It’s rude to stare, and I can’t even do that, so I quietly look away.
“I see, you don’t mind looking at my swimsuit. Then…”
Fuyusaki muttered something like that and came at me while still in her swimsuit.
“H-hey ! What are you doing !”
“I have to make sure you’re not afraid anymore.”
“You just did !”
“You just saw me in my swimsuit. I need to see if you’re okay.”
While saying that, she approaches me steadily.
I also retreated accordingly, but I was pushed to a rock and tried to run away, but Fuyusaki’s hand blocked my attempt.
“W-we’re former siblings, aren’t we?”
“Yes, that’s right. We’re former siblings.”
“Right ! That’s why—“
“But before, you said you would change your view. And more to the point, you said that you don’t see me as your sister.”
I don’t remember saying it that clearly, but I can’t deny it because she said something similar.
Gently, one of Fuyusaki’s hands grabbed my hand.
She’s not letting me go.
“…If you’re shaking, stop.”
“You’re trembling too, Mitsui kun. You still haven’t gotten over it, have you?”
Fuyusaki’s hand was shaking.
My hands are shaking too.
But this is a different kind of shaking.
Not one of disgust or fear.
But it’s a good way to get out of here.
“Then you’ve got your answer. Come on, let’s get out of here.”
“Please don’t lie to me.”
Fuyusaki sees through it.
“…..I envied Ayaka san.
Suddenly, she says something like that.
I shut up and listen to her story.
“I was envious of Ayaka-san, who was your younger sister, because she helped you. The same goes for Hananoi san. Even if it was distorted, I was jealous of her connection with Mitsui kun.”
After saying that much, she raises her reddish face.
Caught off guard by this, my reaction is delayed.
While I’m waiting, Fuyusaki’s face comes closer to mine.
(Crap.)
I can’t get away. That’s when I knew for sure.
“What are you doing?”
Suddenly, a voice said, and we stopped moving.
We both looked in the direction of the voice and saw a person standing there who should not have been here.
The person looked at us one after the other and said.
“What are you two doing?”
The girl, Mitsui Ayaka, had a smile on her face.
