Toka’s expression was so serious when she said that, my heart made a weird noise.
“It’s okay. I can do it myself.”
“No. People who feel sick should just stay still.”
She’s smiling sweetly, but her eyes aren’t smiling at all!
“H-hold on a sec…!”
I frantically tried to grab the towel, but Toka deftly dodged me.
“Okay, take off your shirt.”
Even though I was desperately resisting, Toka remained completely still, still smiling. There’s nowhere to run in this room…! I’m totally cornered!
“No, that’s way too embarrassing!”
“Ryo-kun, you’ve wiped my back before. It’s the same thing.”
“Guh…”
“Besides, I’m just wiping your body. Are you thinking something weird, Ryo-kun?”
Saying that, Toka gently poked my forehead with her index finger. After that, I couldn’t say anything…
“Then… please…”
“Okay! Leave it to me!”
Toka’s expression softened. I could tell she genuinely cared, so I couldn’t act coldly toward her. Reluctantly, I pulled up my shirt. Toka gently placed her hands on it and helped me take it off. What is this sense of guilt? Am I really getting undressed here…?
“Okay, raise your arms.”
“Your tone is totally like a gym teacher.”
“…Ryo-kun, since the front is embarrassing, turn your back from the start.”
“O-okay…”
Toka started wiping my back with a damp towel. It felt cool and nice, but…
“Ryo-kun, you’re actually pretty muscular… You really feel like a proper boy…”
“Stop it! Don’t analyze me! Don’t give a live commentary!”
Her hands moved like a craftsman handling glassware, tickling me like crazy! Plus, I totally felt like she was staring at me intensely from behind!
“…Toka, are your hands shaking?”
“They’re not shaking! And I’m not nervous at all!”
Toka was clearly flustered, and it was painfully obvious. The towel, trembling violently, smacked against my side.
“Hey, that tickles!”
“S-sorry! I didn’t mean to! That was the towel’s feelings!”
“What do you mean, ‘the towel’s feelings’!?”
Even as she said such nonsensical things, Toka’s hands didn’t stop. But her movements were somehow awkward, creating strange pauses between each wipe. When I glanced at Toka’s face, her ears were bright red all the way to the tips.
“…Huh? Wait, this feels weird…! I can’t wipe properly, or something… It’s just… really… like…!”
Finally, Toka’s vocabulary had completely died.
“Hey, Toka?”
“I said I’d do it, so I’m doing it!”
“U-uh, okay.”
No, that’s like some kind of tough-guy mentality. This is weird… I should be the one embarrassed about being undressed…
“Um, this part too… I have to wipe it, right?”
Toka hesitated, but gently reached out and pressed the towel against my stomach. Before I knew it, she was pressed tightly against me from behind, like she was hugging me from behind.
“Wait, wouldn’t it be better to do it from the front!? This position is weird!”
“I’m still too embarrassed to do it from the front!”
The moment Toka’s hand moved, something warm pressed softly against my back. This position is dangerous! It’s supposed to be just nursing care, but feeling Toka’s softness against me makes me think weird things!
“I’ll wipe you properly, so stay still!”
Toka stayed pressed tightly against my back, gently wiping my stomach and chest.
Hold on, hold on… me! The cold towel’s touch from the front, Touka’s body heat from behind… There’s too much information for my brain to process.
“Ah, if you get too close, Touka might catch a cold too.”
“You don’t need to worry about that.”
Every time Touka spoke, her warm breath brushed my back. I never imagined such a trial would come right at the start of summer break!
“Ryo-kun, should you take off your bottoms now?”
“I’ll do my own bottoms!”
When I said that, for some reason, Toka looked incredibly disappointed.
――After changing clothes.
“Hmm, your fever hasn’t gone down yet.”
I was laid back down on the bed by Toka, who was taking my temperature again.
“Really, Ryo-kun, you make such a fuss. You’re not a kid anymore, you need to behave properly.”
“Whose fault is that, whose?!”
Toka said that while bringing me some rice porridge she’d made in the kitchen.
Toka, who used to live in that filthy room, making something delicate like rice porridge for me. Just that alone made me feel a little touched.
“Ryo kun, aren’t you thinking something really rude?”
“You’re imagining things.”
My head was still foggy, and my body felt sluggish, but talking with Toka perked me up. Yeah, if I just rest for another two or three days, I’ll be back to normal.
“Ryo kun, Aaahnn.”
Tohka smiled at me and held out a spoonful of rice porridge.
“I knew you’d do it.”
I gave a wry smile and reluctantly opened my mouth. Hmph, I won’t be flustered by something like this anymore. I’ve grown, too.
“Aaahnn.”
Perhaps to avoid spilling the rice porridge, Toka’s face came very close. Then, just as I thought the spoon would carry the porridge into my mouth—
Chu.
Toka’s lips touched mine—.
“Huh…?”
For a second, my mind went completely blank. It felt like something incredibly serious just happened.
“Ah, I made a mistake.”
“Th-that’s impossible to mistake, no matter how you look at it!”
