Thursday’s after school, two days before the sea bathing date.
I, together with 3 people – Aizawa, Shinonome and Ten-nee, headed to the shopping mall
「Nahaha, it has been a while since the last time we bought things together, Kousuke! 」
Walking next to me, Ten-nee smiles innocently, so naturally I smiles too.
「That reminds me, it was since we were children, right? Other than that Ten-nee, were your club activities okay? 」
「Un, no problem. Because normally I tried too hard, I was told to be able to take 3 days off this week. Other than that, Kousuke! Choose the swimsuit for me, okay!? 」
Ten-nee seems really happy
Her shining child-like face is so cute.
Then Aizawa and Shinonome who walk behind us smile,
「*kohon* (coughing sfx). Takatora-san, today’s biggest purpose is to have Ikuno-kun choose Aizawa-san’s swimsuit. Is that clear? 」
Right, such a thing happened after school, so we went to buy things.
「Fun, I understand, even without being told」
Seemingly unpleasant, after being pointed out by Shinonome Ten-nee turns away abruptly.
「Hahaha……Other than that Aizawa, you said that the swimsuit from last time you went to the beach, which was fifth year in primary school, isn’t fit, right? 」
To mediate this place’s atmosphere, I ask Aizawa who walks behind.
「U, un. Because of that, I made you three come with me, sorry. Because my body has grown, standing out is unpleasant so I don’t go to the beach or pool. Therefore recently I haven’t bought any swimsuits at all, the old swimsuit wasn’t fit when I noticed. 」
Because compared to that time, your chest and buttocks have grown extremely well, right?
It’s natural that your old swimsuit wasn’t fit.
By the way, when Aizawa told Shinonome her circumstances, the story becomes “go to buy swimsuits together”
Then, being adviced that it was a good chance to have a person of the opposite sex pick a swimsuit for her, Aizawa was troubled until after school, then she requested me to help her acquire love experience.
Ten-nee suddenly looks up at me.
「Hey Kousuke, is it really the truth? That Aizawa Manaha is in fact a girl with zero experience with men. Her appearance is really gaudy, it can only look like she has played with many men」
Just now, after gaining Shinonome and Aizawa’s permission, I told her this information. Because Ten-nee also go with us for the sake of Aizawa’s sea bathing date, they judged that it’s impossible to completely hide that.
「Th, that’s the truth, Takatora-san……」
「Ten-nee, I guarantee that so please believe」
When I say with a bitter smile, Ten-nee glances at Aizawa who is behind her while seemingly worry,
「……Kousuke, you aren’t being tricked, right? For now, I will believe if you say so. However, you must be careful, just in case」
Perhaps because of her strong feeling of wanting to protect me, Ten-nee looks at me with a worried face.
Despite being this small now, she’s indefinitely my onee-san, huh?
Feeling happy, I naturally stroke her head
「……!?」
Ten-nee’s cheeks become red, she averts her face from me and keep walking, as if embarrassed.
At that moment, Aizawa, with a reserved, small voice from behind,
「……Ano, Ikuno. Today, please treat me well」
「A……u, un! Please treat me well too」
Not good.
Unnoticed, I relaxed after the conversation with Ten-nee, but I once again felt nervous.
After all, I will choose the swimsuit for the girl I love.
It’s impossible not to feel nervous.
A, if I recommend an extremely ecchi one, perhaps she would buy it.
Moreover, in that case, I can see Aizawa wearing that this weekend……
I imagine the scene where Aizawa is squirming with a deep red face while wearing a micro bikini.
「No, Ikuno. If you stare at me that much, I will be embarrassed to death…………」
Ku——O, outrageous!
I was about to go to such a frightening event.
Besides, Shinonome is there too, so by any chance, won’t she tell me to choose for her?
If I have to choose swimsuits for two girl I love, what should I do……?
Feeling my heartbeat, I head to the place while unable to find the answer.
Having arrived at the shopping mall, we went to the woman’s swimsuit shop.
Ten-nee immediately disappear to the shop’s interior, Shinonome, in support role, would wait behind us
Then, in the shop with only young female customers, I begin to choose Aizawa’s swimsuit.
「…………」
Crap, perhaps because I’m together with Aizawa, we are being noticed. The bishoujo gyaru Aizawa and the otaku-like me. We must be conspicuous because of that unbalance.
「……」
Aizawa also feels the surroundings’ eyes and looks really nervous. Still with a solid/hard expression, she moves awkwardly to choose the swimsuit.
……I’m Aizawa’s fake boyfriend right now.
Then, I must exert myself to make today’s swimsuit picking memorable and enjoyable.
I somehow smiles and acts cheerfully.
「Aizawa, you seems nervous, are you okay? 」
「……A, as expected, I look like that? 」
「Un, it’s true. But hora, compared to the time I chose your underwear before, isn’t this still better? After all it’s swimsuit this time」
「Perhaps it’s true if you say so. But, I was at my wits’ end at that time, rather, I was desperate and tried………」
Is that so, I think at that time, Kuroki Ami doubted whether she had love experience so she tried her best, but since it’s not an urgent thing this time, she’s not pressured bt the tension.
「A, but don’t worry about it, Ikuno! I’m nervous on my own. Rather, I’m sorry. Ikuno also doesn’t have free time and yet, I suddenly make you go with me」
「Don’t worry. Because Aizawa joined the club with the condition of me granting your wishes. B, besides……I also don’t feel unpleasant with choosing Aizawa’s swimsuit. 」
「He？」
–Ha!?
S, shit! Just now, what did I say!?
Don’t feel unpleasant with choosing a girl’s swimsuit, isn’t that exposing my ulterior motive!?
Her mood must have been ruined. What to do if she hates me and leaves the club!?
But the person in question stares at me with a mysterious face,
「Ikuno, choosing my swimsuit, isn’t unpleasant? 」
「E? Maa……un, that’s right」
Feigning the air of “completely not interest”, I avert my face to the side.
When I felt anxious and looked at Aizawa, she had a softened expression before I knew.
「Is that so? 」
A, are? Why does she seem happy?
Aizawa moves her forelock to her ear, she resumes our swimsuit picking with an appearance in which the nervousness has come apart somewhere.
Her side face is full of delight, it’s completely different from the hard/solid face a while ago.
Wait a sec. She’s that delighted because I said it’s not unpleasant.
……Don’t, don’t tell me.
The usual me wouldn’t think about that. However as a person in love, it seems like my personality has changed
Perhaps, Aizawa……likes……me, doesn’t she……
Recently, because I’ve gotten used to it considerably, I don’t feel the strange nervousness when I’m in front of these two. But when I begin thinking so, my heartbeat quickens, breathing becomes difficult.
「Thanks to Ikuno, I feel enjoyable somehow」
「E?, W, why……?」
While my heart is throbbing, I somehow make a suitable reply.
「U-n, why huh? I don’t know the reason, but it seems so. Until a while ago, I was nervous when I thought about choosing the swimsuit with an opposite sex, but right now I feel really relaxed. 」
I don’t know what Aizawa thought about me, but it looks like I’m helpful to the girl I love. Feeling satisfied, my whole body becomes a bit hot.
I want to be helpful to Aizawa more.
As the tension comes apart because of the pleasant feeling, it’s time to recommend various swimsuits.
「E-tto, that’s right……A, how about this and this? 」
I show the cute polka dots swimsuit and a simple-design swimsuit on my hands.
「A, I think both are fine. They are simple and cute but rather, I want a bit more impact……S, sorry, my pickiness is too much」
Aizawa is a girl and also a fashionable one, huh? Or is it natural to be picky about look and design?
「Then, if you say so then the next one–」
Impact, impact……oh, this and this seem good—then I pick those.
「Puuu—!!」
Looking properly at those two, I unintentionally blew out the wind.
「N? what happened Ikuno, something nice? 」
「E!? A, no, nothing in particular……hahahahaha」
「……? Ikuno, I think you are sweating though, is that my imagination? Rather, aren’t you hiding something behind? 」
「Nothing, nothing! It must be your imagination! 」
I’m not hiding a really obscene leopard print bikini and the slingshot which hides those part with only 2 straps!
「Fu, fu-n. Maa, if Ikuno says so, I won’t mind……」
Aizawa is basically obedient/honest, but because of my obviously strange condition, she seems to suspect.
「……well, Ikuno…..I think you aren’t, but……e, ecchi ones are…..no good, so」
Searching for the swimsuit while being adviced awkwardly, I nodded.
Aizawa is a pure girl who had a strong sense of virtue.
If I show her those series then this mood might be spoilt, I must be careful.
I secretly return the two items and once again begin choosing the swimsuit.
Then, after a short while–
I successfully drew out an extraordinary smile from Aizawa.
「Uwa~! What’s this super cute thing! Ikuno, why do you recommend this!? 」
I become embarrassed as Aizawa is staring at me while holding the swimsuit with heart mark scattering around her.
「Well, Aizawa seems to dislike high-exposure ones, so I searched for the cute, impact but slightly less exposure ones. Then I came across that」
Then, Aizawa who was completely happy suddenly says nothing.
She hugs the swimsuit *gyuu* like it’s something important, her cheeks are dyed with sakura color.
「I see……Ikuno, thought about me seriously and chose this……」
I’m surprised. Because she suddenly says nothing so I thought I said something bad.
I stroke my chest, feeling relieved. Aizawa once again has an extraordinary smile.
「I will choose this! I think the size is fit, but I will try this for now, so I will go to the register! 」
「Is that so? Then I will wait with Shinonome」
「Un！」
Holding the swimsuit, Aizawa smiles pleasantly and goes to the dressing room.
Aizawa has a really happy face, doesn’t she?
Being shown such a face, even I would feel happy.
Then, while savoring this pleasant feeling of satisfaction,
「You did a good job for a while, considering it’s Ikuno-kun」
「!? Shi, Shinonome……Since when did you behind me……Rather, you seems happy」
「Isn’t it natural. The pet getting an accomplishment and the master getting an accomplishment are two similar things. To put simply, praise me」
「Praise huh!? Are you a primary schooler who want to be praised……!!」
When I retort appropriately, Shinonome murmurs 「well fine」 with a thin smile.
「Nevertheless, compared to the first date, you have grown beyond recognition. I was worry as I thought you would make a blunder today too though」
「Well, more or less, I reflected the last time and have studied……」
I bought various magazines and studied how to have a walking date or the girls’ feeling though.
「A, other than that, is it fine for you not to see the swimsuits? 」
While I and Aizawa were choosing swimsuit, perhaps she was always behind us.
「It’s fine not to worry about me. I already prepared yesterday」
That reminds me, she said she would appeal to me with her charm at the beach and make me say I like her, huh?
To make me howl (like a wolf), she must have prepared a sexy one……
「Are, such scary eyes. Perhaps, being unable to choose my swimsuit, you get angry? 」
「I, I’m not……rather, your face is too close」
「Ufufu」
Leaning close to me to test my feeling, Shinonome keeps the distance while scattering a nice smell.
「Other than that, Ikuno Kousuke, is that fine? 」
「E, what? 」
「There is a girl thinking that you are still in the middle of choosing Aizawa-san’s swimsuit and waiting until you are free all this time though」
Being suggested by Shinonome, I move my attention to the passage ahead.
「A……」
Holding a few swimsuits, Ten-nee was there like a child waiting for the parents.
Meeting my eyes, Ten-nee nervously averts her gaze, seeming nervous.
「That girl seems to properly understand that today’s biggest purpose is Aizawa’s matter. She has been staying there obediently since a while ago. Becoming my pet, I want you to be that well-behaved. 」
「Is that so, all this time……」
If it was the past Ten-nee who had a strong desire to monopolize me, she would snatch me without care.
「Shinonome, I’m off a bit! 」
I hurriedly rush to Ten-nee’s place.
「Sorry Ten-nee, I’ve let you wait! 」
「A, Kousuke! Is it already fine!? 」
At that moment, a smile appears on Ten-nee’s charming face.
「Un. Aizawa already purchased, next would be looking for Ten-nee’s」
「Yatta! In fact, I’ve already gathered the ones I want! The rest is actually to wear, show and hear Kousuke’s opinion! 」
「Ok, understood. Then let’s go」
I headed to the dressing room and waited for a short while. Then the curtains suddenly opened.
「How about this, Kousuke!? 」
「Nuo!? 」
Surprised after seeing that figure, I let out a strange voice. Because it is the super obscene leopard print bikini I picked by accident when choosing Aizawa’s swimsuit.
「Wait Ten-nee, as expected it is……」
「N? Is it not reall suit me? I thought it’s quite though」
Ten-nee turns back and looks at her own buttocks somewhat happily. The swimsuit wrapping the small buttocks sticks tightly to the cute, round things *pichipichi* (tight/expressing something bursting with youth and energy)
「Ten-nee, listen……showing such a thing to me, isn’t it embarrassing? 」
I ask while blushing lightly, but Ten-nee is in higher spirits than usual,
「Nahaha! Baka Kousuke. I always cheer while wearing extremely exposing clothing. Wearing this is nothing in particular! 」
Is that so?
Besides, since childhood, she doesn’t mind even in front of me.
「I see. Then it’s fine but……then, for now, how about showing me others? 」
「Understood! 」
The curtains once again closed, and opened after a while.
「Etto, how about this Kousuke!?」
「Bufuo!? 」
I blew out wind once again. The thing Ten-nee is wearing is a micro bikini which has an extremely small cover area. The cloth barely hold on to the almost flat chest and the pointed tips part.
Ten-nee acts stout-heartedly, but because it’s embarrassing this time as expected, her cheeks are red.
Since a while ago, why did she try such adult-like—tte, wait.
Ten-nee knows I like onee-san type, doesn’t she? Don’t tell me, because of that……
「Ano Ten-nee, can you wait just a little? 」
「E, fine but……」
She’s bewildered after being told so suddenly, I immediately head to the aimed place.
I took a certain swimsuit and immediately returned, then handed it to Ten-nê
Then, she finished changing again and showed her swimsuit figure.
「……」
「Un, isn’t this really good, Ten-nee! It fits you more than those a while ago」
But, Ten-nee, with an expression which doesn’t seem to agree somewhere,
「Nnu, but this, completely not adult-like at all. Kousuke don’t like such a thing, right? 」
As expected, she thought about my preference and chose the adult ones.
「Certainly this one may be childish compared to the ones a while ago, but this is more natural」
The swimsuit I recommended is the one I had an eye on while thinking “perhaps this would suit Ten-nee” when I was choosing Aizawa’s swimsuit. A thing seemed to be made exclusively to people who has a lolikko figure (loli-child), which characteristic design completely conceals the undeveloped parts and highlights the lovely parts to the front.
「B, but, as expected I’m not Kousuke’s preferenc──」
「Ten-nee wearing that is super cute. I’m worry that I may pick you up」(“pick you up” = ナンパ )
「E……」
When I praise her honestly, Ten-nee blinks her eyes with surprise
After that, she suddenly turned around.
「……I’ve decided」
Are? Perhaps, Ten-nee is getting angry?
Without time to confirm, the curtain is closed.
After a short time, Ten-nee who has changed into her uniform comes out and puts on her shoes.
「A, ano Ten-nee, perhaps, I said something weird? 」
Although I ask in a hurry. I notice midway.
Apart from several swimsuits, she only holds the one I chose like it’s an important thing.
Looking down, Ten-nee murmurs a few words with a bright red face.
「I, I choose this」
「A, you choose the one I chose huh? 」
「Un. After all, this……because Kousuke said it’s cute, so this one is good」
Seeing Ten-nee says so while being bashful, I break into a smile.
「I see. It’s good that you are pleased. Then, I will go ahead and wait」
「Understood. Then I will go and purchase for a bit」
Saying so, Ten-nee runs toward the register.
Her side face I saw when she passed me was a really gentle one, my heart is filled with a sense of accomplishment.
「Ara, I didn’t think you could skillfully solve Takatora-san’s case」
「Shinonome huh……again, since when did you behind me? 」
Looking downward, she’s in a happy mood, as if she’s happy after seeing my growth.
「The pet’s accomplishment is also the master’s accomplishment, praise me—even if you say that, I won’t praise you」
「Hee, go on ahead and catch your master’s remark, such a cheeky livestock……」
「……y, your face is too close」
Shinonome slips into my bosom and looks up at me, I avert my face.
Shinonome, while tracing my chest using her finger,
「But what should I do, I wonder? It looks like you are good at choosing women’s swimsuits, so I begin to hesitate whether to let you choose mine or not」
「E, Shinonome’s swimsuit…..？」
Imagining the scene where Shinonome wears various swimsuits in the shop, I blush instantly.
Then Shinonome’s lips approach my ear,
「Fufu, it’s just a joke, you pervert」
Ku……a joke. She’s making fun of me.
But, as the present me is having an interest in Shinonome, I don’t feel bad being abused by her, it’s troublesome.
「Wait until the sea bathing trip to see my swimsuit figure. Please have various delusion until then」
「I, I don’t really want to see it particularly you know」
「So? Well fine. On that day, I’m looking forward to seeing you bite the bait」
—Then, with that.
I somehow completed the Aizawa’s swimsuit choosing date.
Then on the way home, since the direction to my and Aizawa’s house is the same until midway, we got on the same train.
「Ikuno, because Amami-senpai tachi said they would also come, I’m really happy! 」
After that, we went to the cake shop Garnir, which is run by Amami-senpai’s parents.
Then, when Ten-nee talked about the part-time job at the beach hut matter, Amami-senpai proposed to take her friends and go to play or something like that.
「She said so. I think she also talked about inviting Kameno-senpai and Kurashima-senpai」
However, Kameno-senpai……
As I could be able to see those unprotected, larger-than-Aizawa’s oppai in close distance, my heart throbs a little. Besides, Kameno-senpai is the natural airhead, unaware-type bitch. If she releases her sex appeal like the time at the school festival, I don’t know if I could keep my reasoning.
「When I first heard about the sea bathing date, I was nervous. But then Takatora-san decided to go, and the other acquaintances may go too, so I’m seriously looking forward to it. 」
「Is that so? It’s a good thing if Aizawa could think so」
She was worried about various things at the time the sea bathing date was decided, but seeing this state of her, I’m sure that she would be able to enjoy the date properly. Of course, I doing my best is the major premise, but……
Because it seems like she’s worried about that rumor of Kokonoe-san, I must protect her properly when something happens.
「Ikuno, let’s enjoy ourselves a lot during weekends」
Despite the tension from receiving a cute smile from the girl I love, I somehow nodded.
◆◆◆
After bidding farewell to Aizawa, I get off the train and walk through the residental area.
It’s already 7pm, since it’s dinner time, there is no one walking outside.
Then I come across a certain thing and gulp.
「……this」
There is a vending machine which flickers disorderly, perhaps because of the broken illuminating system.
It was cut gruesomely near the money insertion slot and was opened from the centre with excessive force, a “unavailable” paper was pasted there.
「Perhaps, this is the vending machine robbery occurred in Urotan city……」
In my school, there is the rumor “the vending machine robbery was done by Kokonoe sisters”.
This force, is impossible for a single girl, but certainly is feasible with two people.
But I can’t think it was done by Kokonoe-san. Like Shinonome is in fact a good fellow, the world is a series of surprises so I’m not so sure that it’s completely different…… (まあ東雲が実は良いやつであるように、世の中は驚きの連続だから完全に違うとは言いきれないけども……。)
That reminds me, Sharte did tell me.
That students in her school encountered the culprit-like people and was chased by them while holding edged tools.
……I rush while thinking staying there is not good, also because Sharte is waiting.
Perhaps being driven by anxiety, I rushed through the night street with a slightly fast pace.
「Nii-san, this one is ready. How about the salad? 」
「Un, I also finished arranging the dish」
Having returned home, I and Sharte prepared the dinner like usual.
Having put everything we made respectively on the table, Sharte unfastens her apron and goes to her seat.
「Then Nii-san, the before meal kiss」
「Right. Itadakima—tte, what’s with that “kiss”! 」
「It’s a step to become Nii-san’s woman. Because Nii-san is a virgin (doutei), the imouto’s concern first starts from the kiss . Is the difficulty degree of kissingtoo high? 」 (not sure about the part behind doutei: まずはキスからという妹の気遣いなのですが)
「Sharte is also a virgin, right!? The difficulty degree is also high, isn’t it!? 」
「No, Nii-san, that’s sexual harassment you know? 」
「Which one issss!? 」
While exchanging like usual, I begin to have dinner together with my imouto.
「Other than that, Sharte, you have been the student council president for a while, but are you doing it smoothly? 」
「Hai, my friends also help so I could do it somehow. Although today I was busy with the accumulated job during the test, I think it wouldn’t be like that from tomorrow」
「I see. Then it’s fine. But you must not do something impossible. Is that clear? 」
「Hai. I will obey Nii-san’s instruction properly. Please don’t worry」
After looking at my eyes and saying so, she reached out to the grilled fish using her chopsticks.
But, that obedient Sharte as a student council president huh?
I don’t believe even now, but it’s good if she is doing it smoothly.
Then, when we finished the meal, Sharte is also tired and is dozing off.
While smiling, I carried mine and Sharte’s tablewares to the sink, covered the remained dishes with wraps and put them in the refrigerator. When I looked back, as if really drowsy, Sharte leaned her body to the table and let out cute sleeper’s breathing *suyasuya*
She’s fairly tired because of the student council’s works huh? Can’t be helped.
While feeling delighted at my filial Imouto, I carry Sharte and go to the second floor.
「With, Nii-san……beach……」
……Sleep-talking?
This time, she said she would stay at home, but I’m sure that her true feeling is that she wants to go together with me.
Recently, I’ve caused many trouble to Sharte, I want to look after her a lot soon.
A, right. I can use that thing I saw today as a present.
—The boy who thinks optimisticaly doesn’t know.
At the same time, sitting at the sandy beach, Kokonoe Shizuki is dreaming about the weekend and has a dubious smile.
Thursday’s after school, two days before the sea bathing date.
I, together with 3 people – Aizawa, Shinonome and Ten-nee, headed to the shopping mall
「Nahaha, it has been a while since the last time we bought things together, Kousuke! 」
Walking next to me, Ten-nee smiles innocently, so naturally I smiles too.
「That reminds me, it was since we were children, right? Other than that Ten-nee, were your club activities okay? 」
「Un, no problem. Because normally I tried too hard, I was told to be able to take 3 days off this week. Other than that, Kousuke! Choose the swimsuit for me, okay!? 」
Ten-nee seems really happy
Her shining child-like face is so cute.
Then Aizawa and Shinonome who walk behind us smile,
「*kohon* (coughing sfx). Takatora-san, today’s biggest purpose is to have Ikuno-kun choose Aizawa-san’s swimsuit. Is that clear? 」
Right, such a thing happened after school, so we went to buy things.
「Fun, I understand, even without being told」
Seemingly unpleasant, after being pointed out by Shinonome Ten-nee turns away abruptly.
「Hahaha……Other than that Aizawa, you said that the swimsuit from last time you went to the beach, which was fifth year in primary school, isn’t fit, right? 」
To mediate this place’s atmosphere, I ask Aizawa who walks behind.
「U, un. Because of that, I made you three come with me, sorry. Because my body has grown, standing out is unpleasant so I don’t go to the beach or pool. Therefore recently I haven’t bought any swimsuits at all, the old swimsuit wasn’t fit when I noticed. 」
Because compared to that time, your chest and buttocks have grown extremely well, right?
It’s natural that your old swimsuit wasn’t fit.
By the way, when Aizawa told Shinonome her circumstances, the story becomes “go to buy swimsuits together”
Then, being adviced that it was a good chance to have a person of the opposite sex pick a swimsuit for her, Aizawa was troubled until after school, then she requested me to help her acquire love experience.
Ten-nee suddenly looks up at me.
「Hey Kousuke, is it really the truth? That Aizawa Manaha is in fact a girl with zero experience with men. Her appearance is really gaudy, it can only look like she has played with many men」
Just now, after gaining Shinonome and Aizawa’s permission, I told her this information. Because Ten-nee also go with us for the sake of Aizawa’s sea bathing date, they judged that it’s impossible to completely hide that.
「Th, that’s the truth, Takatora-san……」
「Ten-nee, I guarantee that so please believe」
When I say with a bitter smile, Ten-nee glances at Aizawa who is behind her while seemingly worry,
「……Kousuke, you aren’t being tricked, right? For now, I will believe if you say so. However, you must be careful, just in case」
Perhaps because of her strong feeling of wanting to protect me, Ten-nee looks at me with a worried face.
Despite being this small now, she’s indefinitely my onee-san, huh?
Feeling happy, I naturally stroke her head
「……!?」
Ten-nee’s cheeks become red, she averts her face from me and keep walking, as if embarrassed.
At that moment, Aizawa, with a reserved, small voice from behind,
「……Ano, Ikuno. Today, please treat me well」
「A……u, un! Please treat me well too」
Not good.
Unnoticed, I relaxed after the conversation with Ten-nee, but I once again felt nervous.
After all, I will choose the swimsuit for the girl I love.
It’s impossible not to feel nervous.
A, if I recommend an extremely ecchi one, perhaps she would buy it.
Moreover, in that case, I can see Aizawa wearing that this weekend……
I imagine the scene where Aizawa is squirming with a deep red face while wearing a micro bikini.
「No, Ikuno. If you stare at me that much, I will be embarrassed to death…………」
Ku——O, outrageous!
I was about to go to such a frightening event.
Besides, Shinonome is there too, so by any chance, won’t she tell me to choose for her?
If I have to choose swimsuits for two girl I love, what should I do……?
Feeling my heartbeat, I head to the place while unable to find the answer.
Having arrived at the shopping mall, we went to the woman’s swimsuit shop.
Ten-nee immediately disappear to the shop’s interior, Shinonome, in support role, would wait behind us
Then, in the shop with only young female customers, I begin to choose Aizawa’s swimsuit.
「…………」
Crap, perhaps because I’m together with Aizawa, we are being noticed. The bishoujo gyaru Aizawa and the otaku-like me. We must be conspicuous because of that unbalance.
「……」
Aizawa also feels the surroundings’ eyes and looks really nervous. Still with a solid/hard expression, she moves awkwardly to choose the swimsuit.
……I’m Aizawa’s fake boyfriend right now.
Then, I must exert myself to make today’s swimsuit picking memorable and enjoyable.
I somehow smiles and acts cheerfully.
「Aizawa, you seems nervous, are you okay? 」
「……A, as expected, I look like that? 」
「Un, it’s true. But hora, compared to the time I chose your underwear before, isn’t this still better? After all it’s swimsuit this time」
「Perhaps it’s true if you say so. But, I was at my wits’ end at that time, rather, I was desperate and tried………」
Is that so, I think at that time, Kuroki Ami doubted whether she had love experience so she tried her best, but since it’s not an urgent thing this time, she’s not pressured bt the tension.
「A, but don’t worry about it, Ikuno! I’m nervous on my own. Rather, I’m sorry. Ikuno also doesn’t have free time and yet, I suddenly make you go with me」
「Don’t worry. Because Aizawa joined the club with the condition of me granting your wishes. B, besides……I also don’t feel unpleasant with choosing Aizawa’s swimsuit. 」
「He？」
–Ha!?
S, shit! Just now, what did I say!?
Don’t feel unpleasant with choosing a girl’s swimsuit, isn’t that exposing my ulterior motive!?
Her mood must have been ruined. What to do if she hates me and leaves the club!?
But the person in question stares at me with a mysterious face,
「Ikuno, choosing my swimsuit, isn’t unpleasant? 」
「E? Maa……un, that’s right」
Feigning the air of “completely not interest”, I avert my face to the side.
When I felt anxious and looked at Aizawa, she had a softened expression before I knew.
「Is that so? 」
A, are? Why does she seem happy?
Aizawa moves her forelock to her ear, she resumes our swimsuit picking with an appearance in which the nervousness has come apart somewhere.
Her side face is full of delight, it’s completely different from the hard/solid face a while ago.
Wait a sec. She’s that delighted because I said it’s not unpleasant.
……Don’t, don’t tell me.
The usual me wouldn’t think about that. However as a person in love, it seems like my personality has changed
Perhaps, Aizawa……likes……me, doesn’t she……
Recently, because I’ve gotten used to it considerably, I don’t feel the strange nervousness when I’m in front of these two. But when I begin thinking so, my heartbeat quickens, breathing becomes difficult.
「Thanks to Ikuno, I feel enjoyable somehow」
「E?, W, why……?」
While my heart is throbbing, I somehow make a suitable reply.
「U-n, why huh? I don’t know the reason, but it seems so. Until a while ago, I was nervous when I thought about choosing the swimsuit with an opposite sex, but right now I feel really relaxed. 」
I don’t know what Aizawa thought about me, but it looks like I’m helpful to the girl I love. Feeling satisfied, my whole body becomes a bit hot.
I want to be helpful to Aizawa more.
As the tension comes apart because of the pleasant feeling, it’s time to recommend various swimsuits.
「E-tto, that’s right……A, how about this and this? 」
I show the cute polka dots swimsuit and a simple-design swimsuit on my hands.
「A, I think both are fine. They are simple and cute but rather, I want a bit more impact……S, sorry, my pickiness is too much」
Aizawa is a girl and also a fashionable one, huh? Or is it natural to be picky about look and design?
「Then, if you say so then the next one–」
Impact, impact……oh, this and this seem good—then I pick those.
「Puuu—!!」
Looking properly at those two, I unintentionally blew out the wind.
「N? what happened Ikuno, something nice? 」
「E!? A, no, nothing in particular……hahahahaha」
「……? Ikuno, I think you are sweating though, is that my imagination? Rather, aren’t you hiding something behind? 」
「Nothing, nothing! It must be your imagination! 」
I’m not hiding a really obscene leopard print bikini and the slingshot which hides those part with only 2 straps!
「Fu, fu-n. Maa, if Ikuno says so, I won’t mind……」
Aizawa is basically obedient/honest, but because of my obviously strange condition, she seems to suspect.
「……well, Ikuno…..I think you aren’t, but……e, ecchi ones are…..no good, so」
Searching for the swimsuit while being adviced awkwardly, I nodded.
Aizawa is a pure girl who had a strong sense of virtue.
If I show her those series then this mood might be spoilt, I must be careful.
I secretly return the two items and once again begin choosing the swimsuit.
Then, after a short while–
I successfully drew out an extraordinary smile from Aizawa.
「Uwa~! What’s this super cute thing! Ikuno, why do you recommend this!? 」
I become embarrassed as Aizawa is staring at me while holding the swimsuit with heart mark scattering around her.
「Well, Aizawa seems to dislike high-exposure ones, so I searched for the cute, impact but slightly less exposure ones. Then I came across that」
Then, Aizawa who was completely happy suddenly says nothing.
She hugs the swimsuit *gyuu* like it’s something important, her cheeks are dyed with sakura color.
「I see……Ikuno, thought about me seriously and chose this……」
I’m surprised. Because she suddenly says nothing so I thought I said something bad.
I stroke my chest, feeling relieved. Aizawa once again has an extraordinary smile.
「I will choose this! I think the size is fit, but I will try this for now, so I will go to the register! 」
「Is that so? Then I will wait with Shinonome」
「Un！」
Holding the swimsuit, Aizawa smiles pleasantly and goes to the dressing room.
Aizawa has a really happy face, doesn’t she?
Being shown such a face, even I would feel happy.
Then, while savoring this pleasant feeling of satisfaction,
「You did a good job for a while, considering it’s Ikuno-kun」
「!? Shi, Shinonome……Since when did you behind me……Rather, you seems happy」
「Isn’t it natural. The pet getting an accomplishment and the master getting an accomplishment are two similar things. To put simply, praise me」
「Praise huh!? Are you a primary schooler who want to be praised……!!」
When I retort appropriately, Shinonome murmurs 「well fine」 with a thin smile.
「Nevertheless, compared to the first date, you have grown beyond recognition. I was worry as I thought you would make a blunder today too though」
「Well, more or less, I reflected the last time and have studied……」
I bought various magazines and studied how to have a walking date or the girls’ feeling though.
「A, other than that, is it fine for you not to see the swimsuits? 」
While I and Aizawa were choosing swimsuit, perhaps she was always behind us.
「It’s fine not to worry about me. I already prepared yesterday」
That reminds me, she said she would appeal to me with her charm at the beach and make me say I like her, huh?
To make me howl (like a wolf), she must have prepared a sexy one……
「Are, such scary eyes. Perhaps, being unable to choose my swimsuit, you get angry? 」
「I, I’m not……rather, your face is too close」
「Ufufu」
Leaning close to me to test my feeling, Shinonome keeps the distance while scattering a nice smell.
「Other than that, Ikuno Kousuke, is that fine? 」
「E, what? 」
「There is a girl thinking that you are still in the middle of choosing Aizawa-san’s swimsuit and waiting until you are free all this time though」
Being suggested by Shinonome, I move my attention to the passage ahead.
「A……」
Holding a few swimsuits, Ten-nee was there like a child waiting for the parents.
Meeting my eyes, Ten-nee nervously averts her gaze, seeming nervous.
「That girl seems to properly understand that today’s biggest purpose is Aizawa’s matter. She has been staying there obediently since a while ago. Becoming my pet, I want you to be that well-behaved. 」
「Is that so, all this time……」
If it was the past Ten-nee who had a strong desire to monopolize me, she would snatch me without care.
「Shinonome, I’m off a bit! 」
I hurriedly rush to Ten-nee’s place.
「Sorry Ten-nee, I’ve let you wait! 」
「A, Kousuke! Is it already fine!? 」
At that moment, a smile appears on Ten-nee’s charming face.
「Un. Aizawa already purchased, next would be looking for Ten-nee’s」
「Yatta! In fact, I’ve already gathered the ones I want! The rest is actually to wear, show and hear Kousuke’s opinion! 」
「Ok, understood. Then let’s go」
I headed to the dressing room and waited for a short while. Then the curtains suddenly opened.
「How about this, Kousuke!? 」
「Nuo!? 」
Surprised after seeing that figure, I let out a strange voice. Because it is the super obscene leopard print bikini I picked by accident when choosing Aizawa’s swimsuit.
「Wait Ten-nee, as expected it is……」
「N? Is it not reall suit me? I thought it’s quite though」
Ten-nee turns back and looks at her own buttocks somewhat happily. The swimsuit wrapping the small buttocks sticks tightly to the cute, round things *pichipichi* (tight/expressing something bursting with youth and energy)
「Ten-nee, listen……showing such a thing to me, isn’t it embarrassing? 」
I ask while blushing lightly, but Ten-nee is in higher spirits than usual,
「Nahaha! Baka Kousuke. I always cheer while wearing extremely exposing clothing. Wearing this is nothing in particular! 」
Is that so?
Besides, since childhood, she doesn’t mind even in front of me.
「I see. Then it’s fine but……then, for now, how about showing me others? 」
「Understood! 」
The curtains once again closed, and opened after a while.
「Etto, how about this Kousuke!?」
「Bufuo!? 」
I blew out wind once again. The thing Ten-nee is wearing is a micro bikini which has an extremely small cover area. The cloth barely hold on to the almost flat chest and the pointed tips part.
Ten-nee acts stout-heartedly, but because it’s embarrassing this time as expected, her cheeks are red.
Since a while ago, why did she try such adult-like—tte, wait.
Ten-nee knows I like onee-san type, doesn’t she? Don’t tell me, because of that……
「Ano Ten-nee, can you wait just a little? 」
「E, fine but……」
She’s bewildered after being told so suddenly, I immediately head to the aimed place.
I took a certain swimsuit and immediately returned, then handed it to Ten-nê
Then, she finished changing again and showed her swimsuit figure.
「……」
「Un, isn’t this really good, Ten-nee! It fits you more than those a while ago」
But, Ten-nee, with an expression which doesn’t seem to agree somewhere,
「Nnu, but this, completely not adult-like at all. Kousuke don’t like such a thing, right? 」
As expected, she thought about my preference and chose the adult ones.
「Certainly this one may be childish compared to the ones a while ago, but this is more natural」
The swimsuit I recommended is the one I had an eye on while thinking “perhaps this would suit Ten-nee” when I was choosing Aizawa’s swimsuit. A thing seemed to be made exclusively to people who has a lolikko figure (loli-child), which characteristic design completely conceals the undeveloped parts and highlights the lovely parts to the front.
「B, but, as expected I’m not Kousuke’s preferenc──」
「Ten-nee wearing that is super cute. I’m worry that I may pick you up」(“pick you up” = ナンパ )
「E……」
When I praise her honestly, Ten-nee blinks her eyes with surprise
After that, she suddenly turned around.
「……I’ve decided」
Are? Perhaps, Ten-nee is getting angry?
Without time to confirm, the curtain is closed.
After a short time, Ten-nee who has changed into her uniform comes out and puts on her shoes.
「A, ano Ten-nee, perhaps, I said something weird? 」
Although I ask in a hurry. I notice midway.
Apart from several swimsuits, she only holds the one I chose like it’s an important thing.
Looking down, Ten-nee murmurs a few words with a bright red face.
「I, I choose this」
「A, you choose the one I chose huh? 」
「Un. After all, this……because Kousuke said it’s cute, so this one is good」
Seeing Ten-nee says so while being bashful, I break into a smile.
「I see. It’s good that you are pleased. Then, I will go ahead and wait」
「Understood. Then I will go and purchase for a bit」
Saying so, Ten-nee runs toward the register.
Her side face I saw when she passed me was a really gentle one, my heart is filled with a sense of accomplishment.
「Ara, I didn’t think you could skillfully solve Takatora-san’s case」
「Shinonome huh……again, since when did you behind me? 」
Looking downward, she’s in a happy mood, as if she’s happy after seeing my growth.
「The pet’s accomplishment is also the master’s accomplishment, praise me—even if you say that, I won’t praise you」
「Hee, go on ahead and catch your master’s remark, such a cheeky livestock……」
「……y, your face is too close」
Shinonome slips into my bosom and looks up at me, I avert my face.
Shinonome, while tracing my chest using her finger,
「But what should I do, I wonder? It looks like you are good at choosing women’s swimsuits, so I begin to hesitate whether to let you choose mine or not」
「E, Shinonome’s swimsuit…..？」
Imagining the scene where Shinonome wears various swimsuits in the shop, I blush instantly.
Then Shinonome’s lips approach my ear,
「Fufu, it’s just a joke, you pervert」
Ku……a joke. She’s making fun of me.
But, as the present me is having an interest in Shinonome, I don’t feel bad being abused by her, it’s troublesome.
「Wait until the sea bathing trip to see my swimsuit figure. Please have various delusion until then」
「I, I don’t really want to see it particularly you know」
「So? Well fine. On that day, I’m looking forward to seeing you bite the bait」
—Then, with that.
I somehow completed the Aizawa’s swimsuit choosing date.
Then on the way home, since the direction to my and Aizawa’s house is the same until midway, we got on the same train.
「Ikuno, because Amami-senpai tachi said they would also come, I’m really happy! 」
After that, we went to the cake shop Garnir, which is run by Amami-senpai’s parents.
Then, when Ten-nee talked about the part-time job at the beach hut matter, Amami-senpai proposed to take her friends and go to play or something like that.
「She said so. I think she also talked about inviting Kameno-senpai and Kurashima-senpai」
However, Kameno-senpai……
As I could be able to see those unprotected, larger-than-Aizawa’s oppai in close distance, my heart throbs a little. Besides, Kameno-senpai is the natural airhead, unaware-type bitch. If she releases her sex appeal like the time at the school festival, I don’t know if I could keep my reasoning.
「When I first heard about the sea bathing date, I was nervous. But then Takatora-san decided to go, and the other acquaintances may go too, so I’m seriously looking forward to it. 」
「Is that so? It’s a good thing if Aizawa could think so」
She was worried about various things at the time the sea bathing date was decided, but seeing this state of her, I’m sure that she would be able to enjoy the date properly. Of course, I doing my best is the major premise, but……
Because it seems like she’s worried about that rumor of Kokonoe-san, I must protect her properly when something happens.
「Ikuno, let’s enjoy ourselves a lot during weekends」
Despite the tension from receiving a cute smile from the girl I love, I somehow nodded.
◆◆◆
After bidding farewell to Aizawa, I get off the train and walk through the residental area.
It’s already 7pm, since it’s dinner time, there is no one walking outside.
Then I come across a certain thing and gulp.
「……this」
There is a vending machine which flickers disorderly, perhaps because of the broken illuminating system.
It was cut gruesomely near the money insertion slot and was opened from the centre with excessive force, a “unavailable” paper was pasted there.
「Perhaps, this is the vending machine robbery occurred in Urotan city……」
In my school, there is the rumor “the vending machine robbery was done by Kokonoe sisters”.
This force, is impossible for a single girl, but certainly is feasible with two people.
But I can’t think it was done by Kokonoe-san. Like Shinonome is in fact a good fellow, the world is a series of surprises so I’m not so sure that it’s completely different…… (まあ東雲が実は良いやつであるように、世の中は驚きの連続だから完全に違うとは言いきれないけども……。)
That reminds me, Sharte did tell me.
That students in her school encountered the culprit-like people and was chased by them while holding edged tools.
……I rush while thinking staying there is not good, also because Sharte is waiting.
Perhaps being driven by anxiety, I rushed through the night street with a slightly fast pace.
「Nii-san, this one is ready. How about the salad? 」
「Un, I also finished arranging the dish」
Having returned home, I and Sharte prepared the dinner like usual.
Having put everything we made respectively on the table, Sharte unfastens her apron and goes to her seat.
「Then Nii-san, the before meal kiss」
「Right. Itadakima—tte, what’s with that “kiss”! 」
「It’s a step to become Nii-san’s woman. Because Nii-san is a virgin (doutei), the imouto’s concern first starts from the kiss . Is the difficulty degree of kissingtoo high? 」 (not sure about the part behind doutei: まずはキスからという妹の気遣いなのですが)
「Sharte is also a virgin, right!? The difficulty degree is also high, isn’t it!? 」
「No, Nii-san, that’s sexual harassment you know? 」
「Which one issss!? 」
While exchanging like usual, I begin to have dinner together with my imouto.
「Other than that, Sharte, you have been the student council president for a while, but are you doing it smoothly? 」
「Hai, my friends also help so I could do it somehow. Although today I was busy with the accumulated job during the test, I think it wouldn’t be like that from tomorrow」
「I see. Then it’s fine. But you must not do something impossible. Is that clear? 」
「Hai. I will obey Nii-san’s instruction properly. Please don’t worry」
After looking at my eyes and saying so, she reached out to the grilled fish using her chopsticks.
But, that obedient Sharte as a student council president huh?
I don’t believe even now, but it’s good if she is doing it smoothly.
Then, when we finished the meal, Sharte is also tired and is dozing off.
While smiling, I carried mine and Sharte’s tablewares to the sink, covered the remained dishes with wraps and put them in the refrigerator. When I looked back, as if really drowsy, Sharte leaned her body to the table and let out cute sleeper’s breathing *suyasuya*
She’s fairly tired because of the student council’s works huh? Can’t be helped.
While feeling delighted at my filial Imouto, I carry Sharte and go to the second floor.
「With, Nii-san……beach……」
……Sleep-talking?
This time, she said she would stay at home, but I’m sure that her true feeling is that she wants to go together with me.
Recently, I’ve caused many trouble to Sharte, I want to look after her a lot soon.
A, right. I can use that thing I saw today as a present.
—The boy who thinks optimisticaly doesn’t know.
At the same time, sitting at the sandy beach, Kokonoe Shizuki is dreaming about the weekend and has a dubious smile.
