“Thanks for waiting. The water is very nice and warms me up.”

“Y-yeah. I’m glad to hear that.”

After the bath, her skin was slightly steamy. Her hair was moist. The shirt I prepared was probably a little too big, and the sleeves were rolled up and there was some extra hem. However, the chest, which had been asserting its presence even when she was wearing her school uniform, was not fully concealed, but rather emphasized, resulting in a glossy and beautiful sexiness that one would not expect from someone who has just become a high school student.

She is also wearing shorts, which is not good for the eyes as it exposes her healthy and moderately fleshy thighs.

“It’s been a long time since we met again…I’m sorry for making you worry so much.”

Kanna sat down next to me with her shoulders slumped. I try to say that we’re sitting face-to-face, but since ten years ago it was common for us to sit side by side like this, I swallow my words.

“I’ve told you many times that you don’t have to worry about it. I was surprised when you suddenly stepped into the fountain.”

“Ah, that time my head and body whispered to my instinct to go ! I felt I had to, and when I came to, my body moved on its own !”

Kanna makes an incoherent defense.

“I know. You must have thought that the handkerchief was an important thing that her parents or grandparents gave her as a gift for school entrance. It was made of high-quality material and had the initials on it.”

The handkerchief that Kanna retrieved from the fountain. When returning it to its owner, I caught a glimpse of the “Y.K.” alphabet.  If so, it must have been a very thoughtful item.

Kanna must have imagined this when she heard about the situation from the girl. Her mind turns more than three times faster than normal people, so she used to imagine things and create stories in her mind. This is the reason why people around her used to give her the creeps, and it seems that this habit has not been cured even now, more than a decade later.

“Jinpei kun has always really understood me. I’m relieved to see that you haven’t changed.”

Saying this, Kanna breathed a sigh of relief.

She was lonely and afraid that what she had done was for the best, but it had caused the other person to look at her in a way that confused her and made the other person look at her as if she were an unknown object. This was the reason why she was feeling down at that place.

“Well…..that’s that. If something like that happens again, don’t just get into the fountain, okay? It would be a disaster if you get all wet like you did today.”

“Jinpei kun meant……I will never expose myself to such an abomination that I will be left in a cold sweat again !”

Kanna turned away, puffing out her cheeks. Or rather, falling in the fountain was so embarrassing that even she broke out in a cold sweat. If that’s the case, I think I should stop prying any further. I’m afraid of counterattack.

“Okay ! That’s the end of our talk at the fountain ! Besides, Jinpei kun, do you have anything to say when you look at me now?”

“What’s up with the abruptness?”

“Geez……Jinpei kun is really insensitive. I’m wearing Jinpei-kun’s shirt right now, right? In other words, it’s a boyfriend shirt, right?”

[What do you think?] Kanna said as she got down on all fours and moved closer to me. Because her hands are on the floor, a space is created around her chest, and I can almost see her décolleté line and the two secret treasures that lie deep within it. I couldn’t help but look away.

“It’s been nearly ten years since we last met. I’ve grown up quite a bit, haven’t I?”

“I-I know that, you don’t have to tell me. I mean, don’t you hate it when people look at you that way?”

It’s hard to believe that this is the same statement and behavior from a person who has been calling people [pervert] and disparaging them. My head is on the verge of developing a serious bug.

“That’s because we were at school ! Besides, I told you TPO is important, didn’t I? It’s okay when it’s just the two of us.”

Kanna utters with a bewitching smile. I gulp when I see that bewitching face. The once cute childhood friend has turned into a lascivious woman without her knowledge. But I can’t give in to temptation. She came to my house because she believed in me. I can’t do anything to betray her.

“Fufu. What’s wrong, Jinpei kun? Your face is bright red?”

“S-shut up ! Don’t come any closer ! Get away from me !”

“What will happen if I get closer?”

There is a saying, [rejecting the advances of women is a man’s sham]

It is a shame for a man not to touch a set meal that has been offered to him to eat, and so it has come to mean that it is a shame for a man not to accept a woman’s aggressive offer. The term [set meal] refers to a meal prepared for immediate consumption, which in turn refers to an affair proposed by a woman. I desperately tried not to let go of my reason and thought about unimportant things.

“T-that’s…….”

No, I can’t come up with any words. My brain is on the verge of short-circuiting.

“Just—-kidding ! It’s a joke !”

“……….Kanna san?”

A voice filled with murderous intent, unbecoming of calling out the name of a childhood friend, spilled out of my mouth. However, Kanna stood up without caring about my feelings, put her hand on her chin, and raised the corner of her mouth with a grin.

“I was just testing Jinpei kun’s reason. Thanks to that, I found out that Jinpei kun is more naive than I had imagined.”

I see. I get it now. If you want to do it, I have an idea too.  I announced this to my childhood friend, who had a look on her face as if she had just gotten up and done it.

“…I understand. As soon as your uniform is dry, leave the house. I won’t let you step over the threshold of this house!”

“Wha ! Why would you say that?”

“Because you played with the pure emotions of adolescent boys, obviously ! I don’t remember raising my childhood friend like that !”

“It’s all a joke ! Please don’t sulk ! I’ll put you back in a good mood !”

As I turn away, Kanna grabs my sleeve and desperately pleads with me. It’s obvious that if I let it slide right away, she’ll get carried away. Please reflect a little.

“Don’t be mean ! I’m sure I won’t do it again, maybe ! Let me have a sleepover at Jinpei kun’s house like we used to do !”

“I’ll never let you have a sleepover !”

I replied immediately, and Kanna grabbed my shoulders firmly and shook me violently while screaming, [Jinpei kun is mean !].

I secretly ran a simulation of the sleepover I had, remembering how Kanna would always end up doing something like this in the past if I pushed her selfishness.

“……I understand. If you don’t say yes, I have an idea too. Please wait and tremble, Jinpei kun.”

I ignored Kanna’s words at that time, but the next day I immediately regretted it.
