Apparently, a yukata takes a little time to put on properly. I did some research in my spare time and found that it takes about 30 minutes for a beginner to put on a yukata by themselves.
In this case, it did not take that long because of the clerk’s assistance, but I guess it will be difficult later on.
Setting aside.
Saki, wearing a yukata, was a pretty and beautiful girl. The yukata, with white flowers on a deep blue background, transformed Saki into a profound Japanese-style beauty. Just by changing what she is wearing, a girl can completely change her impression. Her hair color is different from usual now, but I think she looks good even with her usual hair.
“……H-how is it?”
“Yeah. I think it’s cute. I really want to draw a picture of Saki now.”
“Really? Hmm, so Onii chan likes it.”
[If Onii chan likes it, then everything is already going well ! But……what should I do? I want a yukata, but if I have to buy an obi and geta to go with the yukata, it will be beyond my budget……. I hadn’t thought about that…….]
This time, the yukata alone cost just under 30,000 yen. The obi is about 5,000 yen if it’s a good one. Furthermore, buying geta can be quite expensive.
If it’s just the accessories, I think I can take care of them, but I asked the smiling young female clerk one thing.
“Um, do you think it’s too early for us high school students to buy such an expensive yukata?”
“No, that’s not true. Customers who like yukata in particular, even high school students buy them.”
“I see…….”
What about Saki’s case? I think there are some aspects of yukata that she particularly likes, since she came all the way here to buy yukata,…….
Hmmm, me and Saki are wondering. Then, the female clerk continues.
“……If you don’t have a special interest in yukata, then you may still be able to get an inexpensive one. Tastes change considerably with age, and the color you like best now may not necessarily be the color you like best next year, the year after that, and the year after that.
Besides, it is still possible for a color to go out of style, and you may get bored with only one type of item you have. If you’re not sure, maybe it’s time to give it some time.”
“I see……
“……As a store clerk, I may not be able to say this, but I think it would be a good idea to rent a yukata.
Even renting isn’t cheap. But if you will only wear it once or twice a year and the rest of the time it will be stored in the wardrobe, I think that an expensive yukata is a bit of a waste. With rentals, you can wear the yukata you like best, depending on the occasion.”
“……Rental, huh? It’s true that I don’t have many opportunities to wear a yukata, and even if I did own one, I feel like it would be a waste of time. Saki, what do you think?”
“Hmm…..what do you think, Onii chan?”
“I…I think it’s a bit of a waste to buy something. There’s a difference between spending 30,000 yen on something you use every day and 30,000 yen on something you only use once in a while. What’s important to each person is different. If you really want it, you can try buying it.”
“You’re right-……. It’s really cute, but……if I feel confused, I guess it’s still too early for me.”
[‘…..And if it’s an expensive yukata, I can’t have sex in it. I’m not going to get it wrinkled or stained.]
What are you thinking with a serious face? I’m the one who’s blushing.
“…..It’s a shame, but I’ll stop for today. I’m sorry you went to the trouble of getting her to wear it.”
“No. If you eventually decide that you want to keep it forever, please consider doing so again. I am always waiting for you.”
“Yes. I understand.”
In the end, Saki left the yukata shop without purchasing anything.
“I liked that yukata……. Well, it was just like any other shopping experience. I wanted to make it a little special today…….”
“Isn’t it difficult to make it feel that special between me and Saki? We’ve been together for a long time.”
“Maybe so, but……”
[Today, I have to make you think that I’m better than those two ! If you keep feeling the same as always, you won’t be able to get over the idea that I’m just your younger sister !]
“Ah, that’s right. Let’s take a look at that thing. Let’s see if there’s anything interesting.”
“Wow, you’ve become childish all of a sudden.”
“We’re still kids, right? That’s fine. You don’t have to worry about it, we can both become adults on our own. This is especially true for Saki. I’ll probably be kicked out soon.”
“…….I want to grow up with Onii chan. Don’t go ahead without permission.”
“Then pull me along with you.”
“You’re not supposed to be dependent. You’re my brother, so please be strong.”
“There is no such thing as a big brother or a little sister when you are only a year apart. In most cases, women grow mentally faster than men.”
“You say such pathetic things. I hate that kind of thing.”
“Courage to be Disliked.”
“Even though you don’t know much about dramas or books.”
“It’s fine as long as it makes me feel like I know just from the title.”
“It’s not fine.”
I feel more comfortable with Saki than with anyone else. I don’t have to worry about anything, I can say whatever comes to mind. I think this is the same for Saki.
Saying she hates me doesn’t mean she really dislikes me. It’s because we trust each other that we can talk lightly.
If it’s with Saki, even if she asks me to live with her from now on, we will be able to spend our time together without any problems. We should be able to think of each other without any romantic feelings.
We didn’t have much time, but we looked around at the rows of gacha-gacha. There were all kinds, from character ones to surrealistic ones.
[I like this kind of casual time, but I want to make Onii chan more excited. Otherwise, I can’t beat those two.]
While looking around, Saki holds my hand.
“…What happened all of a sudden?”
“Don’t mind it. I’m holding Onii chan’s hand so he doesn’t get lost.”
“I’m not a kid.”
“You said you were a kid just now.”
“Sure.”
I don’t shake off Saki’s hand. In fact, I’d like to hold your hand too. We used to walk hand in hand, and I loved the warmth of those hands.
[It might be a while since I held hands with Onii chan…… I don’t know when it happened, but I feel like I’ve become very dependable……. Ugh, even though you’re just Onii chan. I’m trying to impress Onii chan, but I’m the one who’s going to be impressed. My hands are sweating and it’s embarrassing. I’ll just say it’s Onii chan’s. Yeah, I love Onii chan so much. I can’t do without him. I’m dying. Please…..don’t go to someone else…….]
Saki’s thoughts shot through my heart.
Saki….why does she love me so much?
I love Saki too, but it doesn’t mean that I love only Saki. Is it the difference between men and women……?
I took a quick look around the gacha gacha, saying less than usual. There were about fifty of them, but we quickly finished looking at them and we headed to the hamburger shop.
“Hey, Onii chan.”
“What’s up?”
“Let’s take the long detour, just for a little bit.”
“Hmm? Yeah…..got it.”
Saki leads me to a hamburger store, we take the long way around…..are we heading there? Is this the opposite direction……?
[……I still don’t want to. I don’t want Onii chan to see them anymore. I’m going home with him. He’s my only Onii chan. I won’t let anyone else have him. If he starts going out with someone else, I might really kill the other person. That’s why I have no choice but to forcefully take him away from them like this. Onii chan would understand, right?]
Saki is silent. However, I knew that she would be heading for the exit. I wonder how I can stop this…….
