With a message like "Why is this happening?" Yuna staggered and looked a little absent-minded to the bathroom.

"No, I can't forget!"

She undoubtedly had to make the scene she had just witnessed fade from her memory......

But no matter how loud or loud the shower was, it only made the process of that scene more profound from beginning to end.

Why can't you forget?

I don't know, even she doesn't know why......

Wait, then again - why is there such an inexplicable sense of guilt?

"Really, what the hell am I doing......?"

"Forget? Why do I have to do this? Am I also afraid of something? ”

How is this kind of thing possible......?

Thinking about it, she subconsciously touched a certain part of herself that seemed to be and wanted to kiss something.

Could this kind of thinking; Is this impulse not allowed?

If the answer is yes......

In this case, how can this emotion that is stirring and restless in the depths of my heart at this moment be named?

Thinking about it, she handed over her slightly heavy body to the hot water and bath—

"Maybe, it's just because I'm too tired that I'm cranky."

Soon, Yuna found herself with a proper reason.

Yes, it has to be this way, or it would be weird!

At this moment, she didn't know how strong her jealousy, perhaps even she hadn't been aware of in time.

But who is the object of jealousy?

Sister?

“......”

If this is the case, then why?

Is it just for the reason that "I don't want to give my sister to him"?

"Not like that, definitely not like that...... More than anyone else, I want to witness my sister's happiness! This kind of thing is absolutely impossible! ”

However, the more she emphasized her reasonableness, the faster and faster she gradually slipped into the abyss of self-contradiction!

It's like someone is denying their ideas one by one, and they take it for granted!

Soon, Yuna, who had nothing to do and was helpless, simply buried her head in the bathtub......

It seems that this is the only way to calm yourself down.

Then, when she walked to the cloister with her bathrobe draped in and her hair wet from the ends, she was immediately hugged tightly by Lila as if she couldn't help but say something!

Not only that, but she also had to rub her face like an inch-

"Sister, what are you doing, you smell of sweat...... Let's take a shower! ”

Of course, it was very disgusting.

"Huh? It's so cold, sister, it's rare for me to come back once, so let me be coquettish? Is there anything wrong with that? ”

However, Leela apparently didn't take her sister's words to heart at all. Instead, it continues to move forward.

“......”

"Seriously, if you weren't my sister, I might have kicked you."

"Really? In order to prevent that from happening as much as possible, I'd better go take a shower first-"

With that, he slipped into the bathroom.

"Don't peep, huh?"

Of course, before that, she didn't forget to remind Lemuel.

Immediately afterwards, he made an action similar to wiping his neck with a rather serious expression.

"Yes, yes, I know, after all, I don't want to be beaten."

"To sum up, just use the sound of the shower to let it go."

- How can I say that? This guy who can say such things casually is really impressive in a sense.

“......”

However, it is limited to one person......

"In fact, as long as my sister is not disgusted; If you don't hate it, there's no room for me to interject, right? ”

"That's fine. That's enough, right? ”

"Yuna, let's take advantage of this time to cut the cake, shall we?"

Lemuel's words obviously forcibly pulled her back from her own world.

"Ah...... Well. Good! ”

Still, the absent-mindedness she had at every turn did not escape Lemuel's eyes.

Of course, it is impossible for him to know now that a large reason why Yuna has such an attitude is actually himself.

But what if you know about it?

"Just ask, if you're wrong, you don't hear it—"

However, Lemuel is the kind of character who can't hide things in his heart and is quite troublesome.

"What?"

Yuna arranged the cutlery in an orderly manner; While responding to his words. The tone is lukewarm.

"Your attitude just now, including now, is it a little strange? Did something happen? ”

Unexpectedly, not long after he finished asking, Yuna let out a muffled snort that couldn't be ignored-

"What's wrong?"

“...... Hmmm!? Nothing! ”

"Show me—"

After a while, Yuna, who seemed hesitant, still handed her finger out.

"Ahh

"W-What!?"

It turned out that it was because she was absent-minded......

And accidentally got a finger cut by the edge of the slightly angular plate-

“...... Really. Be careful! ”

"Whose fault do you think ......?"

"Okay, okay, sorry, sorry, sorry-"

"Wait, I'll get a band-aid."

After saying this, he really took it in a short time.

"Don't hide, let me see."

This moment......

I always feel that this guy's expression has become a lot more serious.

Let me always feel that I can't find the right time to refuse......

So Yuna had no choice but to give up and handed over the fingers of her injured left hand and obediently asked him to bandage them.

"Don't hold the plate with your left hand, you're not used to your left hand, are you? What a daredevil, what were you thinking? ”

"I don't know!"

I don't want to talk to you! Let's just write it clearly on someone's face......

“...... Then I won't ask. ”

At this moment, Yuna was only surprised by the carefulness of the guy in front of her, and completely forgot to talk -

"So you'd do something like that?"

"You mean that?"

"When your sister first started to learn to cook, it was much more serious than your current situation, so I had to learn to do it."

Lemuel said with a wry smile after glancing at her expression.

There is no doubt that this is something that I don't know......

In other words, the reason why he has the current level of carefulness is completely due to his sister.

I always feel that the fire is big!

Thinking of this, the unpleasant feeling that I had finally dispelled not long ago that seemed to be unpleasant for no reason came again as scheduled.

For this reason, she withdrew her hand with a slight force-

"It's just a small injury, and you're making too much of a fuss, aren't you?"

As he spoke, he forced himself to return to the same attitude as before.

Immediately afterward, Lemuel, who couldn't resist her, could only give up.

After that, the two of them set up the cutlery together and waited until they were all done......

When it was done, Lila walked out of the bathroom as if she were conscious, still with a reluctant expression on her face.

"Did you come out at the right time?"

"What if I say that's it? Isn't that possible? ”

Faced with Lemuel's point-to-the-point question, she had no choice but to answer with the same rhetorical question.

In the face of Lela's arrogant attitude, he could only sigh.

"Riveria, if we don't come out again, we're going to eat it all?"

Of course, he wouldn't forget his good friend, so he ran to the door to remind him.

"You're there, aren't you? Can you let me in if you can? Or are you going to let me eat your portion too? ”

As soon as the words fell, there was no response after a while. Even Lemuel didn't know what to do now.

But in fact, the distance between the two is only a door.

However, it was the distance of this door that made her unable to ignore its existence as if she had no choice but to take it for granted.

"I'll just, forget it, right? If only you had fun. Don't worry about my ......."

"Huh?"

These words instantly made Lemuel a little confused.

It made him feel even more inexplicable, so he didn't plan to beat around the bush -

"What the hell are you messing with? Did I do something wrong? ”

The answer, of course, is no.

But it is quite natural for someone to blame themselves for the cause.

It was this "false self-awareness" that made Riveria afraid to face him now.

At the same time, he didn't dare to let him see himself at this moment.

"If that's what happened to you, Leela doesn't care anymore. So it's okay—"

Unexpectedly, he was only halfway through his words before he was denied in a stronger, and non-suspicious tone—

"It's not like that, it's not like that at all!"

“......”

Hearing this, Lemuel could no longer be indifferent to his limited patience -

He pushed the door open and walked into the house......

But there was only light so dim that you could barely make out the outline......

"Why are you ......?"

And in the face of Riveria's increasingly unbearable voice, he went straight to the side of the bed and grabbed her wrist!

"Stop making a fuss, let's go—"

——At this time, in a fierce resistance and resistance that seemed to belong to her......

But I saw the ...... hanging in the corner of her eye. It's like a tear stain.

"Have you ever cried? Just......? ”

At this moment, Riveria shook off his hand violently—

"Please, leave me alone...... Otherwise, I'll ......! ”

Then he said something like that in an almost hysterical tone.

As if frightened by her attitude, this time Lemuel did not insist on taking her out of the house.

"I'm sorry."

Then, he blurted out words that even he didn't know why he said that.

"It's okay, let me be alone for a while, right?"

Riveria, who dropped these words, pushed Lemuel, who was at a loss, out as if he couldn't help but say something.

But he was never told what the reason was; What exactly is the reason?

Do so; Such a clear refusal only made him more stubborn think-

"It's your fault."

In reality, however, even this is just wishful thinking.

"Well, forget it, if that guy is really in a bad mood, if the object of comfort is you, then it will only make her feel worse."

"Why do I think your comments hurt me even more?!"

Thankfully, with the exception of Riveria, the atmosphere in the living room was as good as ever. Of course, this also includes dealing with the aftermath.

"Then I'll leave it to the two of you?"

"It's okay, it's okay, anyway, you're almost all responsible for the housework, it's rare that my sister is at home today, so leave it to me!"

"By the way, this guy will help too!"

Energetic......

I have to say that Leela behaves very much like a sister everywhere in this kind of thing.

Of course, Yuna couldn't ask for this.

So she watched TV in the living room. But occasionally keep an eye on their conversations......

- Although it is not honorable to do so.

"Then again, Lemuel, you're idle tomorrow...... No, is there time? ”

Lila asked, puffing the ends of her hair as if nothing had happened.

All she had to do was show such an ambiguous tentative attitude, and Lemuel would have to be vigilant......

"Huh? Tomorrow? It's okay...... Do you have any bad ideas? ”

Unexpectedly, as soon as the words fell, he was mercilessly slapped on the forehead-

"What a ghost! Really, it's just a date, a date invitation! ”

"I want to go to the shopping street or something. But it's boring to go alone, so to sum up, stay with me tomorrow! ”

"By the way, you don't have the right to refuse—"

"Understood, if you don't dislike it, feel free to be sent-"

Then she hugged Lela, who was desperately trying to hide her shyness, but it always backfired.

"Ah...... I'm looking forward to tomorrow! ”

Immediately afterwards, I saw that Lemuel couldn't help but feel a little fluttering.

"Don't get carried away!"

There is no doubt that he was trampled on his feet hard-

However, at this moment, it is completely a happy expression.

"Seriously, your character is bad enough, you are so excited to even be stepped on by me or something, it's hopeless......"

However, even if he was said such a thing, his face was full of smiles that he couldn't hide.

Because, it may be a little abrupt to say it now, but this is indeed the first time that the two have a rare free time date.

Of course each other is very happy -

If you have to say the difference, the only thing is that this guy is too explicit......

"Then again, why did you choose the location in the shopping street? Generally speaking, there should be a lot of suitable dating spots, right? ”

"That's what I said......"

But then he raised that very interesting question.

"It's a little, there's a place you want to go, right?" As soon as Leela finished speaking, this time it was Lemuel who laughed-

"I said, why is it a question? Is it because it hasn't been determined yet? ”

"Let's just mean that, right?"

However, having said that, Leela never told him the reason.

Of course, Yuna will not deliberately spoil the atmosphere for this kind of thing.

Yes, she just pretended she hadn't heard anything.

However, deep down there is a certain expectation that even she can't express well-

In the exact opposite sense, of course. Even if she knows better than anyone that she has this kind of expectation, it is quite unbelievable.

However, even this cannot stop it from germinating.

Thankfully, the next day, the weather seemed to be quite cooperative.

"Well done!"

Lemuel followed and got up—

Now, he can tell how excited he is even if he doesn't have to look at it.

Then, he couldn't wait to get up and try to wash, but the moment he pushed open the bathroom door......

What caught my eye was Yuna, who was only wearing a thin shirt on the upper half of her body, and half of her pants on her lower body-

“！？”

This time, however, he closed the door unusually fast......

But even so, the incomprehensible nosebleed still can't be stopped.

“...... Burst! ”

Then he did hear Yuna's voice trying her best to hold back her laughter—

"Come in, it's already already."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw him reopen the bathroom door as if he was exhausted.

"I always think, I'm sorry."

"Don't worry, I should have warned you beforehand. As for my sister, I don't think she cares, right? ”

"So don't look like you're about to come in a big way. lest you lose your appetite early in the morning. ”

To be honest, Yuna's ability to say this really made him feel relieved.

"You're going on a date today, right?"

"It's ordered like that, what's wrong?"

In other words, why does her gaze always seem to feel a little dissatisfied?

I don't think that's what it is, is it? Lemuel thought with a fluke mentality.

But if that's the case, how can this look be explained at this moment?

What's more, the atmosphere is really stiff!

Especially when this guy is staring at him so intently at such a close distance.

"Hair, I said that your hair sleeps so messily, aren't you really afraid of being disliked by your sister?"

"Do you think this is an important occasion like going out to meet people, and it's also an important occasion like dating?"

"Can't you?"

"Of course not!"

"Now you look like a beggar!"

She couldn't help but complain.

As soon as he finished speaking, Lemuel suddenly felt as if he had been hit by a sword in his knee......

"Is that really the case?"

At this moment, he couldn't help but fall into the quagmire of self-doubt......

"I've tried to sort it out, but it's ...... From the look on your face, it seems to have little effect. ”

Maybe it should be said that hair is like this, and there is nothing to be done? However, Yuna motioned for him to bow her head as a matter of course—

"What's wrong?"

At this time, she ignored it, but stood on tiptoe slightly......

Then he used just the right amount of force to help him tidy up his hair that had been slept in a mess.

"Hey, hey—I'll do it myself!"

Although Lemuel emphasized on the side; While trying to distance yourself from her!

However, Yuna's toughness and gentleness, which can only be glimpsed at at this moment, put him in a dilemma for a moment......

"Don't move, it'll be right away—"

I saw her say this; He turned around and took out the conditioner from the cupboard.

“......”

"That's it! Well, I'm really more energetic than just now. ”

"Don't be mistaken, I just don't want you to be counted down by my sister from beginning to end. So go on a date and have some fun. ”

"Thank you."

Yuna said everything so bluntly, there's nothing to think about, right?

But how could it not be a move like that just now! After all, if you get a little closer, you can naturally turn into a kissing appearance......

Also, what does that just the right amount of toughness mean?

“？ What happened to you? What's the problem? If you have time, hurry up and have breakfast! ”

Immediately afterwards, Lemuel, who still had no time to tidy up his mess, was pushed out of the bathroom.

"Really, what the hell is going on?"

But at the moment when he was haunted by this question, the freedom of his body had been taken away by Lela—

"Even though the guy said something like that, you can take your time. Anyway, we have a lot of time today, don't we? ”

"I see, don't you want to eat it?"

"For me, it's enough to watch you feast. Hey, hey, hey! ”

"Don't giggle, eat it! Isn't there a place you want to go? ”

He couldn't help but laugh and curse.

"Yes!"

I always feel that this guy seems to be particularly interested today? Is this also a delusion? Let's just think so, right?

"Eat slowly, beware of choking—"

While saying this; Lemuel, who handed her the water glass, couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth slightly.

The two of them, who quickly swept away the breakfast, walked out of the house as if satisfied.

Of course, Yuna watched the whole process

And try to make sure that your attitude and response don't go wrong, yes...... Just as a sister. That's enough, right?

Is it possible to hope for anything else?

"I'm planning to become family with that guy in the near future?"

"But if you continue to hold on to this ...... If I can't explain this kind of feeling, can I really accept that kind of fact? ”

I don't know, the more I think about it, the more upset I feel.

The answer to this question cannot be reached even with a lot of brains.

In such a state, she unknowingly followed behind the two of them......

"What the hell am I doing? Do this kind of thing...... Will I be able to get the answer I was looking for? ”

Of course, you can't get anything, but sometimes the body just makes judgments before reason.

Intuition is what it is.

"Really, what the hell am I doing?"

Despite over and over again; Again and again he denied his actions at this moment, but the steps he took were ......

It's like he's not listening. So far, it can only be broken, right?
